The Beach
Our beach is the widest, has panoramic views of the gulf to the North-West-and-South, and is the top spot in North America for sunsets. You can swim or wade to Sand Dollar Island, a naturally occurring white sand cay popular with dolphin sand-dollars and “occasionally” manatee and giant-conch. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. You can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shoes.

The Home
The right vacation unit makes all the difference. This cottage is quiet, was fully remodeled in 2025, and it's close to everything. Your patio is 100% private fenced in and surrounded by tropical plants with gas grill and dining table. It's perfect for enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, good book, cocktail(s), or an al-fresco meal. It's a 4-minute walk off the patio to the Siesta Key Village and the best fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts on the island. It's just a 2-minute walk to the sand path for the best beach on the island.

Siesta Zen at its finest

Our stay was absolutely spectacular. Gertrude Vacation Rentals went above and beyond with fantastic communication and made everything effortless. The unit itself was perfect with two bedrooms one bath big bright windows and a charming courtyard with grill and tea lights that made evenings unforgettable. The location could not be better just a five minute walk to the Gulf and only a few minutes to Siesta Village. Truly a spectacular property and highly recommend.
