Your unit is unit A, the pool is located behind units C and D, and this is only 20 steps from your building.

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.

We had trouble finding places that would rent to fewer than 7 days. This place kept popping up and boy was I glad!!! We had an absolutely amazing time. The location can't be beat! One block from the beach and 5-10min from town!! The house was clean, beautiful and even had an ocean view!! All beach supplies were provided! Even a can of bug spray which was much needed!! Our kids loved the pool and it was perfect size for them! There is not one negative I can think of about our stay! ##### Shannon K.

We had everything we needed for our stay at the house. Everything we needed for the beach. Such a short walk to the beach. It was great to have the elevator for my parents who are elderly and it was nice to use when taking loads of stuff up and down the stairs. ##### Brian C.

We had someone with us that had difficulty walking so it was not as close as we had hoped. The beach and location is beautiful though, so if you can walk the extra steps will worth the walk. The beach did have a beach wheelchair available so we utilized that. The condo had a lot of beach chairs and toys available. ##### Jeff R.

Very clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, and a kitchen that was well stocked with dishes and cookware to cook, and eat in if you want but it's located close enough to walk to the village for live music and great food and drinks! Located in a quiet neighborhood across the street from the beach! This place is going to rent out quickly—don't miss a chance to enjoy it for yourself! ##### Leigh V. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Quang L. 21 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 4th July 2023 The property was awesome!!!

From the start, this place made our vacation. Checkin was seamless with no issues, place was spotless and as advertised. Everything was well organized at the house so we found everything easily without having to contact Dan. Dan was great to work with and sent a google doc with tons of helpful information. The house had toys for the kids which kept them busy and we enjoyed the fire in evenings. Beach and park for the kids right across the street so prefect location for the kids. The kids (and I) were sad to leave the house and plan to visit again in the future. 5 stars all around! ##### Bhavesh P.

We were aware there were three hurricanes before our arrival. So with that being said, we were still happy with the beach., restaurants, shops. We walked everywhere. It was unfortunate. We weren’t able to use the pool for it was just too cold for the babies and us, but we enjoyed the beach. They provided bikes for us and went out of their way to get them as well as Beach supplies, a wagon to pool, chairs, towels, etc. and made it so much more enjoyable.! They also supplied toys for the kids, but my daughters went ahead and ordered extra ones from a baby supply rental place in town including cribs and high chairs. Dan was very much present for our needs. Highly recommend.! ##### Kelly B.

Booking was easy as well as getting into the property. I live in the Fort Lauderdale area and drive so I brought some possibly needed household items that I didn’t need. EVERYTHING was there waiting for us, including toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, and the list goes on. Something I did bring that I used was laundry detergent, although there was some there. I figured I’d leave that for others to use that might fly in. There was a golf cart in the garage that I thought we had access to, because other reviews mentioned using it. It does not come with the rental but I was provided with information to rent one at a reduced rate. We actually did not need it. The beach is a quick and easy walk as is the Village. It was quite hot while we were there so we often used the trolley or taxi golf carts. There were six of us in total and the space was well accommodating and we could have had a few more with us. Thank you for an amazing stay! We will definitely be back!!! ##### Carla M.

Our host was truly amazing—thoughtful, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay comfortably! The location is excellent—just a 3-minute walk to Siesta beach. The villa was absolutely beautiful and huge. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need for cooking. Complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas are provided, which was a great touch. The pool was warm and clean. Grill is also available for guests to use when enjoying the beautiful patio. We are planning to come back! ##### Tetiana N.

Not directly on the beach but across a small street. Also, nice and close to the villages, they have a shuttle to take you or you can walk like we did even with kids it's not a bad walk at all. The only cons are that the pool is extremely small we were not able to use it so that was a little misleading and when we stayed the mosquitoes and bugs were out of this world bad. It rained every night we were there and it floods the first floor where the patio seating is and it becomes standing water that bugs love so that was a big con for us. We each have about 50 bites (no exaggeration). Would be helpful if they looked into a better way to drain water outside so we could have used the first floor seating. Otherwise, owner is VERY responsive he answered all my questions very quickly and offered to help with what he could. ##### Sabrina S.

We had two teenagers with us, and the short, safe walk to the beach was a big plus. Located directly across from beach access #11, we had no trouble finding a great spot on the sand—it never felt crowded. We had a blast exploring the neighborhood on the provided bikes, and loved the location—far enough from the main strip to feel separate, but close enough for a brisk walk. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen appeared well-stocked. There were plenty of beach chairs, towels, and even a wagon, which made getting everything to the beach super easy. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful, with excellent communication before, during, and after our stay. We would definitely stay at another Gertrude property in the future. ##### Penny J.

Everyone said it was so nice to be able to come and go all day. The wagon and chairs were well used. Elevator came in handy in loading and unloading the car, otherwise, we used the stairs. Loved being able to see the beach from the balcony with my cup of coffee. Any questions we had were quickly answered during our stay :) ##### Karen F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelli S. 27 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice property We had a great time visiting family in siesta.
