The Location - You work hard and you deserve this. Three patios are 100% private and surrounded by tropical plants. They come with pagoda umbrellas for shade, chaise loungers and dining tables, and are perfect for enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, good book, cocktail(s), or an al-fresco meal. Its a few a steps off the patio to a private gate into the heart of the Village and the best fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts on the island. The beaches at this location are the widest and have panoramic views of the gulf to the North-West-and-South and are the top spot in North America for viewing sunsets. You can swim or “often” wade to Sand Dollar Island, a naturally occurring white sand cay popular with dolphin's sand-dollars and “occasionally” giant-conch. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. This is the only 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.

History - “Life is a string of pearls where you never know how many you have left.” - GVLJ. Named for my grandmother “Gertrude” who traveled the world until age 91, but always insisted this street on Siesta Key was the place she loved best. When I was young, she would take me to the beach and swim out so far I couldn't see her yellow flowered bathing cap even while standing on a chair! Today, you can laze float and wade in the same white quartz sand and calm crystal clear gulf water she once did.

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 including this one is available for instant booking.

When you book with me you get a fully accessible and knowledgeable owner/host and reliable advice from a G-approved local expert.

We had a great stay! The place was close to the beach and the village . We had everything we needed- chairs and a wagon which is nice when you come from a distance . Dan and Anna were great when we had a minor problem with the hot water which was fixed in a timely manner. Thank you so much .

House was clean and perfect location a quick walk to the beach and in the middle of downtown for restaurants/shops. The owners responded quickly anytime I emailed and they take care of everything! No long checklist for checking out either! Highly recommend!

Even though we were only one block behind the bustling main drive with lots of traffic, the home was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. It was very clean with enough space for the family to have space. Very short walk to the beach with a wagon and umbrellas and chairs (though we brought our own). The only negative was the water pressure in the shared bathroom, but the master bath shower was good. Loved that there was also an outside shower to help avoid tracking in sand.
