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. Sure to provide a combination of fun and relaxation you can't get in other getaways.
603 SIESTA KEY OCEANVIEW PENTHOUSE “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 the 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.
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. Snorkelling 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.

We had a wonderful time in the clean, bright, well-stocked penthouse condo right across from an uncrowded beach access (but still super easily walkable to the public beach)! Dan was so responsive - emailing me back near immediately, and also reassuring me that we *truly* didn't need to do anything to the condo prior to check-out. He even responded to a quick power outage on the key, and checked in when the system noted one of us was forgetting the door unlock code! Having all the towels, beach chairs, umbrellas and WAGONS right there and ready for us was wonderful. It was an experience we won't forget, and really appreciate!

We had a great time in the beautiful penthouse at Siesta Key. Daniel responded quickly to any questions. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all that we needed. The beach umbrellas, chairs, and wagons were so helpful and the items like the paddleboards and kayaks added to the fun! The walk to the beach was 5 minutes. We were right on the Trolley line so a ride into town was easy to catch. Thanks for the great accommodations!

Everything from location to accommodations were perfect! I always stay at a Gertrude rental when coming to siesta key because I know I can count on a personable experience with Dan being hospitable in every way!

This was 2nd year staying at this location. For one reason - location and the over the top accommodations of the property. The host has everything you need for an easy going vacations - beach chairs, wagon, towels, laundry.. and the location can not be beat - ACROSS FROM THE BEACH ACCESS

Pros:
Great location. Very Clean. Everything you need for a day at the beach provided (including bikes).
Cons:
Ceiling fan light in the master bedroom came on randomly in the middle of each night. Ceiling fan in second bedroom did not work.
All interior doors squeak and stick.
Kitchen needs new cookie sheets and trash can that fits a standard white trash bag.
Overall a great trip!

Property is simple clean and neat and well appointed. I did get sand on my feet but I know we are near the beach so hard to get all of it off the floor when they vacuum. Oh and the beds are very comfortable
5.0 / 5.0
Despite having a cold week of weather, the proximity to the village was awsome. We really enjoyed all the equipment provided with the stay. Bikes, cornhole, ping pong, paddle boards, and wagons. We were really able to make the best out of mother natures cold spell.
The bunk room also proved great for the kids. Would definitely stay again.
5.0 / 5.0
The property was steps to the beach. You only had to cross the road and walk down to the beach. It also very close to the village, where all the shops and restaurants were located. The property had all the things we needed, beach chairs and even a wagon to carry our stuff to the beach. We appreciated that it was very clean as well.

5.0 / 5.0
We had a wonderful stay! The beach was right across the street, the trolley stop was right outside or it was a short walk to town. The living space, bathrooms and bedrooms were very comfortable. We loved watching the storms and the ocean from the accordion doors in the living room. The light switches and fans were a bit difficult to use in the beginning but worked well after we learned. We didn’t understand where to park parallel to the building but the maintenance man was nice to show us. You must take 2 flights of stairs to get to the unit. Exhausting but well worth it!
4.0 / 5.0
I am giving this location a 4 out of 5. The unit itself is nice. Nice flooring, nice master bath, nice counter tops. Most of the family said the beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels. Plates & utensils were all clean. 2 locations outside the unit to rinse off sand. Lots of chairs, umbrellas, & wagons to use at the beach. Beach access is just across the street. I thought the unit was sufficiently clean but I am very very particular.
Here was why I didn’t give it a 5 - & quite honestly I’m shocked it got so many 5/5 reviews - the entrance to the unit is really bad. The 2 flights of stairs leading up to the unit has old gross carpeting. I felt like this made the actual unit feel dirty. Separately, i do not think the listing states that there are multiple units that share some common spaces. This wasn’t a problem for us but it should be mentioned. Everyone who was staying in the building seemed respectful of the fact that others were there & noise was never a problem… & everyone put all beach items away neatly after using.
Beach access is steps away from the main door, The Village is a 10 min walk & the trolley stop is also right outside the door.
All in all it’s a good spot. The unit is a little small for the number of people that it sleeps. I think a cpl updates & the place will be spectacular! Oh & I thought the host was fabulous with communication.
My 2 biggest complaints - the stairs & the unit needs a vacuum to help keep floors cleaned up. Otherwise, I’d give it a 5!

Foot steps from the beach with everything all you could ever need! Property is situated directly across the street from public beach access, with all you need for a perfect beach day. Beach wagon, chairs, bicycles, paddle boards, and so much more. Clean property with easy access to all the toys. Perfectly located 5min from all the best restaurants and shopping in town. Living space is nicely renovated with plenty of room for the whole fam.

A truly beautiful gem adjacent to the Gulf Coast. My family loved it and we are looking at returning to the same location. Staff was professional and attentive to questions and concerns. Military Friendly !!

The Penthouse was the perfect place for our beach get away! You'll be steps away from the beach with amazing waterviews from the living room and front bedroom. We especially appreciated having access to the beach chairs, umbrella and most importantly the wagon to transport all the gear! The unit was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the fully stocked kitchen was great too! It was nice having soaps, detergents, paper towels and toilet paper readily available. It's exactly as adverstised. This is the perfect beach front rental!! Siesta Key is our new favorite beach:-))

Perfect location, great views, easy walk to the beach, and close to lots of great food. Perfect vacation for the laid back beach goer.
5.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our stay. The property was spacious and bright. It was clean and had all the amenities anyone would need for a beach vacation. The description of the how close the walk to the beach is was a little deceptive. It is only about 30 feet to the beach access, but it is a very long, hot walk on shifting sand to get to the actual beach and water. It is a far way in the hot sun for someone to lug their stuff to the beach. I don't feel like this is accurately explained in the rental listing. That was our only issue, we worked around it and were very happy with the unit itself and Dan. He responded immediately to any question I had and was willing to go above and beyond if we wanted any recommendations or help planning. Thank you!

This property was perfect for 2 families with teenagers on Spring Break. The layout of the penthouse was perfect and accommodated all of us comfortably. Bonus laundry just off the master bathroom was a welcome surprise. Plenty of beach chairs, wagons & bikes for all of us plus others staying in the other units. There is a trolley stop right in front of the property. It is literally 3 minute walk onto the beach and 10 minute stroll into town. Dan was responsive. Highly recommend booking here.

Property is ideally located within walking distance of the beach and siesta village. TV and light switches are a bit tricky to work. Otherwise the property is terrific.

4 teens, 4 young adults, and two parents on the top floor(penthouse).
Cross the street to the Beach!
Short walk to downtown!
Bikes and beach gear for everyone!
Quick access to everything but far enough away from downtown to still be peaceful.
We loved the game room and peaceful back yard tiki hut!
Big thanks to Dan, Property Manager for making everything so easy.

The condo we rented was everything it was advertised to be, and more. We arrived from another stop, and were happy to find the space convenient to everything we needed, everything we needed as far as laundry was available, and parking and all amenities went above what we could have expected. A lovely stay

This house has a fantastic location across the street from the beach and only a mile from town. We walked to and from dinner every-night and used the complimentary bikes everyday to explore the island- get coffee at Mojo's, daiquiris and Daiquiri deck and Oysters at the Siesta Key Oyster bar. The house itself was clean and very well appointed with beach chairs, wagons, umbrellas etc.
