History “Life is a string of pearls where you never know how many you have left.” - GVLJ. Gertrude Rentals was named for my grandmother “Gertrude” who traveled the world until age 91 but always insisted Siesta Key was the place she loved best. When I was young, she would take me to the beach and swim out so far, I couldn't see her yellow flowered bathing cap even while standing on a chair! Today, you can laze float and wade in the same white quartz sand and calm crystal-clear gulf water she once did. Terms Payments are 50% refundable when canceled at least 60 days before arrival.
