Description
This is Gertrude’s Village House, a Gertrude Rentals property in the Top Location on the Island! Leave the car behind! Beautifully decorated and located in the center of Siestas best beaches shopping food and drinks. Out-door lounging and dining areas off the living-room master and mother-in-law suite, a private gate into the Siesta Key Village, and its just a few doors away from three of the islands top beaches. Sure to provide a combination of fun, ease and relaxation you can't get in other properties.
The Location - You work hard and you deserve this. Three patios are 100% private and surrounded by tropical plants. They come with pagoda umbrellas for shade, chaise loungers and dining tables, and are perfect for enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, good book, cocktail(s), or an al-fresco meal. Its a few a steps off the patio to a private gate into the heart of the Village and the best fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts on the island. The beaches at this location are the widest and have panoramic views of the gulf to the North-West-and-South and are the top spot in North America for viewing sunsets. You can swim or “often” wade to Sand Dollar Island, a naturally occurring white sand cay popular with dolphin’s sand-dollars and “occasionally” giant-conch. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. This is the only 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 - “Life is a string of pearls where you never know how many you have left.” - GVLJ. Named for my grandmother “Gertrude” who traveled the world until age 91, but always insisted this street on 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.
Bear 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. Snorkelling gear can be rented or purchased nearby.
