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 bay-front pool.
Bedroom Details This is a 3rd-floor (top) unit with an elevator. This two-bedroom unit has a king bedroom, a bedroom with two fulls, and a sofa in the living room. You can sleep up to 6. If you need more space, I can get an additional unit nearby.
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. 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.

Perfect Getaway
We were very pleased with condo and the property. The place was clean and everything is new. It's a 2 minute walk to the bayside pool and hot tub or a 5 minute walk to the beach! We will definitely stay here again.
Very nice condo. We were close to the intercoastal end of the property, where a pool and hot tub overlook the water. An easy walk over to the beach, with private access. Such a nice property!

Very clean, great location
My family felt very safe and comfortable in this condo. The kitchen was fully supplied making it easy to prepare meals. The condo was very clean. I loved the location with a short walk to the beach. I found the staff at the Palm Bay Club to be very nice. Gertrude's rentals were very quick to respond and helpful.
Location was perfect. Pools, beach & amenities were great. Condo was clean and filled with most everything we needed. Need more hooks throughout, to hang towels and bathing suits and an ottoman in the living room.

Beautiful property! Clean and safe! Only a 2 minute walk to the pool and hot tub that overlooks the bay. A beautiful 5 minute walk down a paved path lined with royal palms to the beach. The condo is so clean and the furniture is brand new! Great get away for our couples trip!

Favorite Siesta resort so far!
Stayed two places this week. Both were great, but this one was the best. Everything in the unit was brand new, the resort is gorgeous, and I loved the Bayside pool! Really didn't really need to leave the resort except for groceries and there was a free trolley right out front. Definitely five stars!

Perfect family getaway
This place was a gem! The location was perfect! Simple, 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach and located steps away from the bay, with hot tub and pool. Our unit was clean, kitchen was well furnished and the beds were comfortable. The shuttles out front provided a quick and easy way to get to the Village (great restaurants, shops and bars). Owners were very responsive and professional. Thank you! We will be back!

Great
This was the second time staying in one of Gertrude's properties and as before my experience was great. Everything was clean and presentable. Pool was heated to a very comfortable temperature. Felt secure in the gated complex. Communication was phenomenal and always accommodating for whatever your needs maybe. Always our go to host from when we come to Siesta Key.
The host was communicative and available for any questions and even reached out to make sure everything was up to snuff. The property is a pretty tranquil setting with perfect location with a serene pool. The unit itself is well appointed and plenty of room.
We enjoyed our stay very much in this unit. It was clean, comfortable, and well equipped, and communication with the owner (Daniel) was excellent. We visited during the last week of January, when ocean swimming is often too cold, so being close to the swimming pool and hot tub was important to us. This unit was conveniently located near both and was also just a short walk to the ocean.The Palm Bay Club has a wonderful private beach, along with tennis and pickleball courts, and complimentary beach chair rentals. Overall, this is a very nice unit and a great place to stay.

Great
Fantastic rental! Wonderful location!! We'd definitely stay again! Only suggestion is add some hot pads in kitchen (and we didn't ask for them so it's possible we just couldn't find them….) Loved our stay!!!
We had a wonderful time in Siesta Key at Palm Bay Club that we rented through Gertrude rentals. The process of renting was easy and responses were quick! Thank you Gertrude rentals!
Everything was great. Zero problems and professional.

Great Stay
This condo was perfect for me and my family. Just the right size with comfortable beds. I'm a very picky person and was extremely happy to find that the house was incredibly clean, very organized and decorated adorably. The unit provided us with all of the necessities needed during our stay, so we didn't have to eat out every morning or lunch. Publix grocery was close by and allowed us to stock up on some food. The unit was in a great location that took minutes to walk to the beach and the bay. The owner of the unit was very responsive and answered any questions we may had. Our only issue we had was connecting to the WiFi. It was working, just couldn't find the network on a few of our phones, however we all had great phone connections, so it wasn't even an issue at all. If our family decides to revisit Siesta Keys, we will definitely return to this condo. Great memories made.
