This Gertrude Rentals property is an “On the Water” hotel, nestled in mangroves, with Pool on Siesta Keys' exclusive Heron Lagoon. Ten Large 1BR units, westerly exposure, private dock, alfresco dining, and lagoon views. Quieter and less commercial, but with an abundance of recreational, leisure, and bonding activities. A one of a kind Siesta Key rental. The perfect setting on Siesta Key for your retreat, intimate wedding, reunion, or any large gatherings.

Location - Set on Heron Lagoon, surrounded by mangroves, with wide open westerly exposure. Possibly the prettiest scenery on the island. Although home to Siesta's most famous, it hosts just two small hotels and is truly an escape from the resort super-highway. Driving biking or walking is a breeze with no stop signs or traffic lights, and plenty of relaxing bike paths and sidewalks. South 1 mile is Turtle Beach, Palmer Bird and Marine Preserve, and three of my favorite restaurants. North 2.5 miles is Siesta's Crescent Beach, Point of Rocks reef, the South Village, and seven of the top restaurants and bars on the island. The Siesta Key free trolley stops just outside our parking lot every 20 minutes between 8 AM and 12 PM. Free taxi services are also available nearly 24 hours a day. - 8212 Midnight Pass Rd, Siesta Key, FL 34242.
