You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oceanside! Large 1BR. In VIllage. 20-steps to Path of Best Beach. Free Bikes and Paddle-boards!

“Beachside 603” is a Gertrude Rentals property right on Beach Rd at Access 10. Large, Fully Renovated, 1BR Apartment, just 13 steps to "beach-front", in the world-famous Siesta Key Village! Spend your days soaking in Sun and Seabreeze's at the worlds #1 Beach, and evenings lounging dining and drinking alfresco at your choice of 20 fantastic restaurants. Just a 9 second walk to the beach path and an 8-minute walk or 1 minute ride on the free trolley to the best shopping, dining, and entertainment on the island. Sure to provide a combination of fun and relaxation you can't get in other getaways. *For larger groups, ask about additional space at this location!

The Location - This will be “easy” just like vacations are supposed to be. Located on Siesta Keys highly coveted Beach Road, you exit the unit and immediately see wide open southerly exposure and a beach view. It's 13 steps from the yard to Beach Access 10, possibly the islands best beach today. It's a one-minute trolley ride or a two-minute bike ride to the Siesta Village for fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts. The beaches here have panoramic views of the gulf with wide open exposure to the North-West-and-South. This the top spot in North America for viewing sunsets. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. You can swim or “often” wade to naturally occurring white sand cays popular with dolphin's sand-dollars and “occasionally” giant-conch. This is the spot on Siesta where you can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shirt and shoes.

History – There's no public parking in this area so, even though this is a gorgeous beach, it ends up being a little more private than most. When I was a kid growing up on Siesta Key, this beach access was called “Palm Island” and named after the island of the same name right at the end of the street. The island has a small bridge going to it and is literally a “heart shaped” island within the island of Siesta Key. When I was younger this was our lovers lane.

Beach Gear - Correction for Air-b-n-b listings. We provide beach towels and beach chairs at every location, umbrellas and carts at most locations, and do not provide "snorkeling gear" at any locations. Sorry for the confusion. Snorkeling gear can be rented or purchased nearby.

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

When you book with me you get a fully accessible and knowledgeable owner/host and reliable advice from an approved local expert. I 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 need a break.

Events - only with prior approval.

Terms - Payments are 50% refundable when canceled at least 60 days before arrival. Payments are not refundable when canceled less than 60 days before arrival. Events or gatherings involving outside guests are only allowed with prior approval from the management. Guest agrees to hold the Property Manager and Owner harmless from any liability for injuries while on vacation. *If you prefer insured bookings, we recommend providers Generali and Rental Guardian for Trip-Protection coverage.

Quick Florida trip

Siesta vacation
The rental unit was well appointed, updated and clean! I would suggest maybe putting in some hooks in the bathroom, maybe in the shower also for damp swim suits and towels. There wasn't cable in the bedroom and the internet in bedroom was so spotty we couldn't even stream in there. This was very disappointing to me. Otherwise our stay was great. Everything we needed for the beach...chairs, umbrellas & waggons and the beach access right across the street. Great place to rent all units for a large family vacation! We had a great time!

Lovely updated property.
Great location. Short walk to the beach, restaurants around a 10 minute walk away. Responsive host. We had issues with the wifi which could use an update but the host dealt with it immediately by dropping off a 5g hotspot which handled the problem. Would definitely go back without hesitation.

Everything was great and would gladly stay again. The cleanliness was very good with one exception. The floor could use a mop! The beach access is great and the trolly stops right in front of the place.

Noisy neighbors
Our condo was really great. Loved the access to beach and village. The third night the neighbors moved in upstairs. They brought their camper and set up in the driveway. Had little kids constantly running above us till really late t night which was extremely annoying . Couldn't believe how the sound from upstairs was so loud. Would rent again, just not on second floor.

Clean and great location!
We enjoyed our stay. Beach access was right outside the building and Siesta Village was a very short walk. A shuttle service called the “frog hop” offers a ride for tips, if you don’t want to walk a few blocks after eating dinner. We had everything we needed here and would choose this location again if we return to Siesta Key.
