We had the best time at staying at Gertrude rentals. Couldn't have picked a better location in terms of proximity to the village and to the beach. Everything was clean when we arrived and the check out was simple, didn't have to remove sheets off the bed, everything was taken care of for us. Only reason I didn't give I 5 great review was because we had some issues with the WiFi and there were not enough sheets for one of us who was staying on the sofa bed, however, once Gertrude rentals was called they were speedy in taking care of our issues. Great communication! Would recommend highly!
This home was the perfect spot for our girls weekend. The home was spacious and had plenty of room for our group to hang out and rest comfortably, and we enjoyed the shared outdoor space as well. We loved having beach chairs and wagons available to use. The location of this home was convenient for walking to both town and the beach. The property manager was very communicative and helpful!
The location of this rental is excellent but the accommodations can use some sprucing. Seven women rented for 4 days/3 nights & had gorgeous weather our entire stay. A car is not necessary as multiple restaurants & grocery store are a short walk away. Beach access is close, but not 250 steps (we counted 300 steps & were still 2 blocks away) but a sturdy beach wagon & many beach chairs are provided and we walked easily to the beach everyday. Pros:-Communication was wonderful. Answered questions promptly. When we asked about the TV they sent someone over immediately. Check in/check out instructions were clear -Outside porch was a lovely place for coffee in the morning or for extra space -King beds upstairs were comfortable -Plentiful beach towels, multiple beach chairs & beach wagon Cons: -Kitchen: no wine glasses (we used water glasses) & the stove burners got warm (not hot). We used the stove for breakfast, for lunch/dinner we had sandwiches or walked to the Village. Cooking knives aren't sharp. Would be difficult to prep a full dinner with the tools provided.-Living room: Seating is cramped for 7 adults, sofa is comfy but other options are not. Not a smart TV (no streaming)-Metal bunk beds(not wood)are very loud - Space itself is open & sound carries easily. In 1 upstairs bedroom there are bi-fold doors (open to the living room below)Again, location to the Village & beach is great. Just wanted to share some info that would have helped us when looking @ rentals
Had a great stay with our adult kids. Weather wasnât great but youâre so close to all the shops and restaurants that thereâs plenty to do other than the beach! House was great and we had everything we needed. Literally the only negative was when we went to use the bikes and two of the five were broken (there was five of us).
Loved everything about this property. Location was ideal. Parked car and didnât need it again until we left. Everything was within walking distance. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back soon.
The property was beautiful and equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The ocean and village is within a short walking distance so there is no need for a vehicle. Communications with the hosts were great responding within minutes to address all your questions and concerns. I recommend this property to anyone who is looking to stay near the beach and enjoy the surrounding community.
Easy to navigate. Close to beach and close to village. Unit was nice ... a little aged. The only problem we had was the overhead lights in the upstairs bedrooms coming on spontaneously in the middle of the night. Dan was a great host.
Our family stayed 4 nights and had a great time. The beach is so close and we loved that it is a quieter beach area. The village is also super close and we loved going to dinner and ice cream and going to the shops. The room was very spacious but could use a bit of updating but it worked great for us. The wagon and chairs were amazing to have!
This listed was exactly as advertised. We were only about a 5 minute walk to the beach and to the Village. The house included all the beach gear we needed and even had bikes available to use. Would definitely recommend staying here!
i stayed with a few friends for a week and we had no issues with the house. the host was excellent with response times. it was clean and just like the pictures in all but one area. this rental is a two unit house and that was written nowhere on the description. the backyard is shared. while we experienced no problems with this it was a disappointed to learned upon arrival that the whole wasnât ours and we didnât even have the balcony facing the backyard. We had booked this thinking it was just our space and it put a damper on parts of the trip having to worried about not disturbing the neighbors.
The house was perfect for our stay and proved to be the ideal location. Two blocks to the best restaurants and bars, two blocks to the beach, quiet rear courtyard. The host was quick to help when needed and the property had everything we needed to have a great time. Highly recommended.
It was my first time in Siesta Key. The location is amazing and right near the park of town. The beaches are absolutely breathtaking. The house was big and accommodated 12 of us comfortably. We had an amazing trip!
We had a super time here! Clean, nice common garden area, beach toys, cooler, chairs, wagon were a nice bonus.
But needs more coffee mugs please. There were 9 of us and only 6 mugs.
Great location, easy walk to many different food venues and little shops. Easy, short walk to the public beach access. Nice quiet neighborhood. Short drive into town if needing groceries on a larger scale.
House was awesome, nice backyard patio and sitting area. Clean, lots of space with comfortable beds. 2 bathrooms with tubs and showers were great for 4 kids. Kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, and beach stuff readily available at the house to use (didn't get to use the paddle boards or kayaks d/t the weather).
Daniel was easy to get a hold of and quick response was received from him when needed.
This was a really pleasant stay and perfect for our group. Dan was really responsive and helpful. Check in and out was easy. The backyard is shared and it was entirely clear from the photos that we had the front unit, rather than the back unit with a balcony overlooking the shared yard. It ended up being totally fine, but something to consider.
We had a great experience with the rental process, the accommodations and the location. The rental was perfect for our mini family get together. This rental company was top notch! Never waited for answers to my questions and everything described was delivered! I will rent again from them.
