The Beach
Your nearest beach is a pleasant 15-minute walk on Ocean Blvd through the shopping and dining of the village. We like to walk to breakfast in the village then head straight to the beach at Access 7 or Sunset Pier. Leaving the beach, we stop off for lunch, dinner or happy hour. The beaches here are the widest, have panoramic views of the gulf to the North-West-and-South, and are 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.
*Special note - Siesta Key Access 4 is just 100 feet from the house and, although not a swimming spot, it delivers the best views on the island, and is an amazing pick for morning coffee, evening drinks, and sunsets on the water. It's also pet friendly, boasts world class fishing, and you could get picked up here by a hired tour boat.

303 Givens Street, Siesta Key, Florida

Overall a nice place. The furniture needs updated, however the place was very clean, well stocked with towels, etc. apparently we misread the distance to the ocean. There is a small alley way that you can see the ocean from but no access to it . The actual ocean access is roughly a mile away. At our age( knee and back surgery in the last year) we weren’t able to walk that distance. The actual Siesta Key beach is amazingly beautiful but a ten minute drive, however to find a parking spot was next to impossible. We found the town to be a party town not family friendly.

Siesta Review

This was a beautiful property, me and my two daughters stayed but there was ample room for 10-12 comfortably. The house was clean and all the extra beach supplies were provided. We rented a car for the trip, I would recommend that or renting a golf cart during your stay as it is about a mile to mile and a half walk to the beach access. There were two separate outside seating areas and a grill to use as well. Wen ended up making friends with a family of bunnies and some little lizards in the side outside seating area.

Pleasant house with short walk to beach and restaurants

Overall, we were happy with the house. However, ad claims it has 3 bathrooms, but there are just two full bathrooms and a small powder room. Two couples had to share one BR and shower, which was not what we planned. Bedroom with bunks has a loud AC unit and quite a bit of noise from the nearby road.

Fiesta in Siesta

Five girlfriends and I stayed here to celebrate a 40th birthday. It was affordable and in a quiet neighborhood just outside the main strip. Questions were promptly answered whenever I emailed and will certainly consider Gertrude Rentals at their other locations. Recommendations for the house would be a full-length mirror somewhere, pump soaps instead of hand soap, and some hotter water for sinks. Showers were fine for temps, but washing dishes, hands, and faces were done with cool water. All quick fixes but didn’t impact the stay and just some preferences for a group of women.

The property is great for multiple couples or families with children. We met our adult son there for a five day mini vacation. There is plenty of room to move around in the house. There are two full bathrooms and a half bath which was very nice surprise. Everything is well maintained and cleaned. I rarely recommend a property but this one is very good for your stay in Siesta Key. The beaches are amazing. Everything is within walking distance. We will rent this place again. Love it.

Fantastically Located and well stocked for the beach

Couldn't really ask for a better location, close to the village with restaurants, bars, and ice cream shops. Walking distance (.8) mile to the beach. Towels, a wagon, chairs, umbrellas all well maintained and ready to take to the beach. Bring some WD40 for the metal bunk beds, as they're very squeaky, and everything but oil and coffee for the kitchen, and you'll be golden for a great stay.

Prefect family house

The house was the perfect size for two families coming together for a beach trip! We never felt on top of each other and the house felt safe. We drove to the beach since we did have a 5 year old with us. The drive was 5mins away roughly. I was concern about the road noise after seeing the reviews but not once were we woken up by it. Will be booking again
