The Beach
Our beach is the widest, has panoramic views of the gulf to the North-West-and-South, and is the top spot in North America for sunsets. You can swim or wade to Sand Dollar Island, a naturally occurring white sand cay popular with dolphin sand-dollars and “occasionally” manatee and giant-conch. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. You can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shoes.

The Home
The right vacation unit makes all the difference. This cottage is quiet, was fully remodeled in 2025, and it's close to everything. Your patio is 100% private fenced in and surrounded by tropical plants with gas grill and dining table. It's perfect for enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, good book, cocktail(s), or an al-fresco meal. It's a 4-minute walk off the patio to the Siesta Key Village and the best fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts on the island. It's just a 2-minute walk to the sand path for the best beach on the island.

    Our stay was absolutely spectacular. Gertrude Vacation Rentals went above and beyond with fantastic communication and made everything effortless. The unit itself was perfect with two bedrooms one bath big bright windows and a charming courtyard with grill and tea lights that made evenings unforgettable. The location could not be better just a five minute walk to the Gulf and only a few minutes to Siesta Village. Truly a spectacular property and highly recommend.

    This trip was our first visit to Siesta Key and we would definitely return! The area is beautiful and the beaches are amazing. The beach is a very close walk from this cottage and a longer walk or a very short drive to other beaches up or down the coast. The village, with restaurants, shops, bars and rentals, is also a short walk from the cottage. The cottage itself is updated and well-maintained. The living spaces were just right for our family of 5, mostly grown children. The master bedroom is spacious and away from the second bedroom. The second bedroom is tighter with 2 full beds, but fit our 2 sons well and would fit 4 younger kids well. Note, there is not a sofa bed, but just a sofa. (The listing did not say sofa bed, I misunderstood.) My teenage son did not want to sleep on the sofa, but there was a convenient rollaway bed we put in the living room for him, which was comfy. The kitchen had a good assortment of pots, dishes, etc. if you are cooking, but the pots and pans are not large capacity for a larger family like ours. We made it work and were able to eat in and out at the convenient restaurants in the village. There is one bathroom that has a handy washer and dryer in it. The cottage has a cute outdoor area we did not utilize because of the heat. They provide a beach umbrella, plenty of beach chairs, and nice rolling carts to transport your belongings. We brought our small dog and he was very content inside the unit. They provide a broom, which was great to sweep up sand and stray dog hairs. They also provided more than enough starter supplies, which mainly lasted our entire trip, unlike many other rentals. Communication was easy with the management company. We would definitely return to Siesta Key and would rent this cottage again!

    Easy walk to Siesta Village, restaurants and beach. Difficult for delivery drivers (food, Uber) to find. Slept 5 easily.

    We had such a great time I'm our first visit, that we decided to return. Everything was just as great, and we're thrilled that “our spot” is available for our next trip. Thanks to Dan for thinking of literally everything!

    Location was great. Issues with cleanliness upon arrival and door not securing. Issues were resolved in a timely manner, however communication was lacking in professionalism and follow-up.
