The Beach
Our beach is a private Siesta Key beach with the widest whitest sands, free chaise lounges, and umbrella rentals. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing.

The Location
With so many amenities, and all of it free of charge, a 3-night stay here will feel like a two-week getaway. If you get the most from a vacation when you don't have search or worry about anything, this unit is not a plus for you it's a must! Although you could easily take a free trolley 1-mile any direction to dozens of shops and restaurants, you can also satisfy every vacation desire without ever putting on your shoes or leaving this resort. You can swim in pools or in the Gulf, fish the inter-coastal, exercise in the gym, sleep in the sun, explore Siesta Key's best beach, make Sandcastles, and even sightsee all in a safe environment and right on your property. The beach here has the whitest sand on the island, but some of the best moments are watching boats and dolphins pass from the private balcony or nearby bayfront pool.

Bedroom Details
This is a 2nd-floor unit with an elevator. This unit is newly remodeled and has two master bedrooms with bathrooms en suite plus a third bedroom. This includes one king bedroom, and two bedrooms containing two queen beds each (5 beds in total). The balcony runs the length of the living area and two of the bedrooms. Note - because two master bedrooms have bathrooms inside them, guests sleeping in the third bedroom have to enter either the first or second bedroom to access a bathroom. In the past this has not been an issue for our guests, but let's make sure it's not an issue for you.

Beach Gear Provided
We provide beach towels, and the resort provides free chaise loungers and umbrella rentals. If you have any issues just reach out and we will do whatever we can. Correction for Air-b-n-b listings this location doesn't provide snorkeling gear but this and anything you need can be rented or purchased nearby.

Important Resort Limits
1) Expect a special experience where each visitor's peaceful enjoyment is respected. The minimum age for visitors not accompanied by a parent or guardian is 25 years. Stay up as late as you want, but the “quiet neighbor times” begin 10 PM. After 10 PM relocate the party to nearby Siesta Village or the Crescent Beach area. 2) Just one parking space per unit. However, cars are not necessary and an additional emergency parking space is available 1 mile away. 3) Baths are location inside two of the three bedrooms. If any of these limits are not a fit for you, please let me know, I have other properties available.

Household Items Provided
We provide bedding, kitchen items, private laundry, most major and minor appliances, blow dryers, and hangers. Simple soaps and paper products come in starter-supply that will get you through a short stay and anything you need can be purchased nearby.

What to Bring
It's a laid-back island so pack as lite as you like. Our fashion is casual, wash and wear, and all units have laundries. Also, anything you forget to bring can be found nearby in good supply and fair prices.

Post Booking Support
We understand vacation time is precious and will make sure you get the most out of it. Our number is the only contact information you need. All units are at the top attractions on the island. Cars are never required, but you will have private parking near the unit. No check-in restrictions, check-in any day of the week at any time using a private door-code. Never a cleaning requirement at checkout. Free early check-in when possible. No hidden fees or solicitations. Every unit including this one is available for instant booking. We 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(they) need alone time.

    We had a wonderful stay and absolutely loved this unit! The accommodations were exactly as described and very clean. Check-in and check-out were incredibly easy—check-out was literally just walking out the door, which we really appreciated. The in-unit washer and dryer were a huge plus and made our stay even more convenient. The location is amazing, and the Palm Bay Club property itself is top-notch with beautiful pools, a hot tub, gated community, and direct beach access with beach service. We truly love staying here. This is our second time at this unit and will absolutely return. Highly recommend!

    I have stayed at multiple properties from this owner/management group and the process is always seamless and my stay is always super enjoyable. They are all located near shops, restaurants and of course, THE BEACH! Don't hesitate to book with them for your next trip to Siesta Key, I know I will!

    Great location, close to the beach. Pools were very nice. Water was very hot in the spa but overall very clean. Nice, friendly guests. Check in was smooth, but would recommend key information to be summarized at the top of the emails.

    Overall the unit was clean. The pictures made everything look a lot larger. The shower door was broken because they don't stay on the track. The sheets and towels were scratchy. It would have been nice to have a small electric beater.. The rest of the kitchen had enough supplies.

    It was clean, average due to shower doors went off track frequently and it could have had a hand mixer in kitchen.. Beds were comfortable. The sheets and towels were a little scratchy. The amenity to the club were efficient which included beach towels., cart and chairs.

    My family and I really enjoyed our stay at The Palm Club on Siesta Key. Even with the area still working to recover from the hurricane, the experience was very pleasant and the staff did an amazing job communicating and offering additional services. Would definitely recommend stay with Gertrude Rentals!

    Our stay in the Kingfisher at the Palm Bay Vlub was very nice. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The private beach was well kept and loved that they had guys on golf cart out to help you when you got there. Had my 72 year old mother with us and they drove her right down to where she wanted. Will definitely be back.

    We had the best stay at Palm Bay Resort. Daniel hooked us up with a wonderful condo that accommodated our party perfectly. We had trouble with gate codes but we were able to get in touch with a help line who got a back one for us. The pickle ball courts, pools and walk to the beach was nothing short of amazing! We will be back for sure!!! Thank you

    We really enjoyed our stay at Palm Bay Club with Gertrude Vacation Rentals. The combination of the beach with the pool/hot tub overlooking the bay makes for the ideal stay. The 3 bedrooms and 3 balconies gave everyone their own private space! Looking forward to coming back for years to come.
