About this apartment rental
Oceanview 603 is a Gertrude Rentals property right on Beach Rd at Access 10. Large, Fully Renovated, Beach-View 3BR Apartment, just 13 steps to "beach-front", in the world-famous Siesta Key Village! Spend your days soaking in Sun and Seabreeze's at the worlds #1 Beach, and evenings lounging dining and drinking alfresco at your choice of 20 fantastic restaurants. Just a 9 second walk to the beach path and an 8-minute walk or 1 minute ride on the free trolley to the best shopping, dining, and entertainment on the island.
603 SIESTA KEY OCEANVIEW 3BR “AT A GLANCE”
- Ocean/beach views and southerly exposure from living room and bedroom.
- 15 steps from yard to access/path for Siesta Key's Best Beach and clear calm Azure Water & pure quartz White Sand!
- Short walk or bike to the Village's World-Famous Dining & Entertainment.
- Alfresco Dining on property.
- Tide Pools & Sand Bars for lounging, sleeping, relaxing, or water sports.
- Best Sunsets in North America with 300-degree views of Gulf.
- 20 Restaurant-Bars, Live Music, Daiquiris, Oysters, stone crab, ice cream, fresh donuts.
- Kayak, bike, paddleboard, scooter, golf cart rentals.
- Walk to Free Island Trolley & every activity imaginable.
- A one of a Kind Siesta Key Experience.
The Location - This will be “easy” just like vacations are supposed to be. Located on Siesta Keys highly coveted Beach Road, you exit the unit and immediately see wide open southerly exposure and a beach view. It's 13 steps from the yard to Beach Access 10, possibly the islands best beach today. It's a one-minute trolley ride or a two-minute bike ride to the Siesta Village for fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts.
The beaches here have panoramic views of the gulf with wide open exposure to the North-West-and-South. This the top spot in North America for viewing sunsets. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. You can swim or “often” wade to naturally occurring white sand cays popular with dolphin's sand-dollars and “occasionally” giant-conch. This is the spot on Siesta where you can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shirt and shoes. Sure to provide a combination of fun and relaxation you can't get in other getaways. *For larger groups, ask about additional space at this location.
History – There's no public parking in this area so, even though the beach is gorgeous, it's a little more private. When I was a kid growing up on Siesta Key, this beach access was called “Palm Island” and named after the island of the same name right at the end of the street. The island has a small bridge going to it and is literally a “heart shaped” island within the island of Siesta Key. When I was younger this was our lovers lane.
Beach Gear - Correction for Air-b-n-b listings. We provide beach towels and beach chairs at every location, umbrellas and carts at most locations, and do not provide "snorkeling gear" at any locations. Sorry for the confusion. Snorkeling gear can be rented or purchased nearby.
Support Post Booking - I understand vacation time is precious and I will make sure you get the most out of it. My number is the only contact information you need. My units are at the top attractions on the island. Cars are never required, but you will have private parking near the unit. Check-in any day of the week at any time using your private door-code. No requirement ever at checkout. Free early check-in when possible. Never hidden fees or solicitations. Every unit is available for instant booking.
When you book with me you get a fully accessible and knowledgeable owner/host and reliable advice from an approved local expert. I can recommend the best spot for fishing or fresh fish, Michigan or Ohio State games, romantic-dinners marriage-proposals or singles, Eco-tourism, family friendly activities, or safe ways to lose your kids when you need a break. For the less extroverted, every booking comes with an unabashed guidebook detailing the property, all my favorite things to do in the area, and never any advertisements or solicitations.

Payments are not refundable when canceled less than 60 days before arrival. Events or gatherings involving outside guests are only allowed with prior approval from the management.

We had a great stay at this property, however, it is more of an “apartment-like” property. Great location though, very clean and access to property managers were great. Overall wonderful trip :)

Great location to the beach and town. Bedrooms were spacious and everyone was happy. We would stay here again!

The location was absolutely perfect, and we really appreciated the beach amenities we had access to (chairs, carts, umbrellas, kayak, bikes, etc). We do wish the listing was a bit more clear about the shared areas, we would have loved to have used them more but they were very very hot, no AC. Minimal issues were quickly addressed by host. Overall had a wonderful stay.

Our family rented the 3-bedroom apartment on the second floor. Property owner was friendly and attentive to answer questions. The apartment was fresh and clean with plenty of linens, dishes, and beach gear. The kitchen had the basics and could use a few plastic items to accommodate the microwave usage and children. Access to the beach was right across the street and the beautiful white sand beach was wide open without crowds. Overall, we loved the location and apartment. Would suggest a thorough cleaning of the entrance floors, stairs, and downstairs rooms to give better first impressions when entering the building because the apartment was well done. Great price for a great space.

We had 7 travelers coming for Spring Break. The outside and game room features were amazing. The four teens loved the hammocks, ping pong, and tiki bar. We grilled out and used the paddle boards, beach chairs, wagons. The beds were comfortable and kitchen had all we need. If I had leave any recommendations it would be to make the master smaller so there was another common bathroom. Although the master was luxurious with a huge private bath , for our group a second bathroom accessible to all would have been better. This might not be an issue for others. Host very attentive. Room very clean. Close to everything and the beach was perfect. Even with the busy travel week , beach access 10 was not crowded.

This property is excellent if you want to be directly across the street with direct beach access to Siesta Key Beaches and a short walk to the Village. No free trolley service needed although available. The property provides everything you could possibly need for the beach to include beach towels, chairs, kayaks, paddle boards and bikes! Highly recommend... especially for families.

Any other VRBO we have used through a rental agency has been a poor experience. Dan and Gertrude Rentals could not have been more gracious, caring, responsive and/or informative. They are not about the rental revenue, as they sincerely care about your experience and being a positive part of your stay. Cannot thank or commend him/them enough. Because of this experience, our first to Siesta Key, we will be back next year.

The location of this property can’t be beat. it’s far enough away from the busy condo developments that the beach feels private and close enough to walk to the village. The public beach access is across the street and the actual walk to the beach is a little long, but it’s to be expected to enjoy the powdery sand and warm waters of siesta. beach carts are provided, so it’s no big deal: even if you were ocean front, you’d have the same distance to walk.
10.0
We loved our stay in Siesta Key. The accommodations worked great for our family and the location was perfect (right across the street from the beach access path). It was so nice to have beach towels provided along with access to beach chairs, umbrellas, and a wagon. Bicycles were also available but we did not have time to use them. My only suggestion would be to provide a scrubbing sponge and additional kitchen towels. We would definitely consider renting here again!

A very clean and beautiful apartment with all the amenities you could want. A comfortable bed and a nice bathroom. Dan is an great host and is always there for you when you need him. We had a wonderful stay! There’s plenty of room for everyone, and the location is great. You can walk to the beach, or take a trolley out to the village of Siesta Key, where there are plenty of restaurants and shopping options.

We selected this location for its proximity to the beach as our primary reason. It was literally across from the beach access park (#10). The facility was in very clean order when we checked in and the accommodations were exactly as advertised. In fact, there was some surprises like bikes and paddleboards that were not advertised. While we’rent able to use them, that was a nice surprise. House also has beach chairs and wagons to move stuff to / from beach. A huge plus !!
The tennis courts were literally down the street (short golf cart ride) away. We used those every morning.
The beach was AWESOME. There was news of red tide, but we didn’t encounter any of it. The water was nice and warm and the sand was amazing
Dan (our host) was great with answering any questions both before and during our stay. Very prompt and helpful.
We will be returning next year !!

Our getaway was phenomenal! We shared the unit with two other couples. It's very spacious, comfortable and clean. Everything you could need for a great day at the beach provided. Just bring your sunscreen. The location couldn't be better for enjoying the beach. Access is just across the street. There are bicycles for getting around too. We also enjoyed the game room and backyard tiki hut fully. Can't wait to return!

The property was alright. We ran out of toilet paper on Christmas. There was only one roll for each bathroom. The dishwasher leaked. And the property is described as 30 ft from the beach, but it is actually across the street and the path to get to the beach is 30 feet from property. That was disappointing because we thought we booked a spot on the beach. The property manager was responsive and kind. He offered a list of activities to experience in the area and allowed us the option of he king in early.

We had a wonderful five days at this condo in Siesta Key! Fit out like family of 5 well and have us time to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Our host, Daniel, was very responsive to any question that we had during and before our stay. So nice to have everything we needed on site like beach chairs, towels and wagon! Thank you again!

We needed a property with at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Our group consisted of 4 adults, 1 college grandchild, and 2 teenagers. When we started looking, there weren't many available that fit our needs and our budget. Our #1 priority was ocean view & steps to the beach, plus walking distance to bars/restaurants/shopping. Dan's rental was PERFECT. This is a 2nd floor huge apartment with alfresco dining and ping-pong table game room below. Also, at ground level is a sitting area & attached garage with bikes, paddleboards, carts to haul chairs and gear to beach, & laundry room. The apartment has been tastefully updated & furnished. Teens slept in the bunk room & the other 2 bedrooms were spacious with comfy Tempur-Pedic mattresses & tons of closet space with lots of hangers (thank-you very much for this small detail!). The 2 extra rollaways even had TP mattresses. Very impressive. We had zero problems but, still, Dan was at our beck & call. He has an onsite tech guy (Pat) who arrived in minutes (not kidding) to help my husband figure out the TV & streaming of our local MN sports team game that he couldn't miss. Our teenage grandchildren hadn't yet arrived to help us with this complicated issue! We feel we had the best spot on the beach, seriously. Right outside our door was beach Access 10. Short little hike to, literally, our private beach. But, close enough to the public beach so as to experience the drum circle on Sunday evenings. I was skeptical, but Dan assured us that we would not need a car or golf cart to get around. We nervously did not rent a car & did not need one!! The Siesta Village trolley stopped right in front of our rental every 20 minutes day & nite. This location is truly magical--Siesta Key Village, as a whole, is our most favorite destination to date!
We were blown away by the restaurant/bar choices:
The Summer House, The Cottage, Mojo's, Bonjour French Cafe, IL Panificio pizza (outstanding!), Island House Tap (live music!!!), Spearfish Grille (outside of village -- WOW) & Cafe Gabbiano for Thanksgiving, to name a few. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. ALL a trolley ride away. Oh, and Morton's Siesta Market--everything you need for groceries & thee best local coffee beans!
In summary, RE: Daniel. Very attentive and eager to please. BEST. HOST. EVER. We will be back, it's all my family dreams about.

We were supposed to come in October, and had to reschedule due to Hurricane Ian, and Dan was amazing to work with! He was so accommodating and always their to answer any of my questions before and once we were there. The location was perfect, and the unit had everything we needed. I can’t wait to go back to Siesta Key and stay at this property or any of the other Gertrude properties again. Can’t recommend this rental service enough!

We enjoyed our stay here. The only issues we had were that some of the photos were a little misleading and there were little to no supplies at all in the unit. Not even cleaning supplies. Again, the place was great and an awesome location, but we are just used to rentals having a few more supplies available to prevent you from having to bring a whole bunch of things on your trip. One side note: the beach chairs and bikes were super high quality and in great shape.

The location was PERFECT, literally across the street (Beach Access point 10). You can walk into "town" or catch the trolley or Frog bus. As for the condo it fit 3 adults and 5 teens/kids comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked, but if you needed something they were quick to get it to us. We didn't need to rent any beach fair, plenty of chairs, umbrellas, carts, towels, etc...It was truly the perfect beach vacation. I'm looking forward to going back already!Thanks Gertrude Rentals for an amazing vacation!❤️🏝❤️🏖❤️

Excellent location, steps to the beach!
Our stay was one of the best on the beach. Being able to walk to the beach, almost private due to the tranquility and calm. In the evening we walked downtown, with all kind of stores. The area is beautiful with flower gardens, natural fauna such as turtles, rabbits, squirrels, exotics birds . The atmosphere is very familiar. We hope to return soon!
