The Beach
Our beach has a quieter Siesta Key Beach in front and to the right plus a lively popular crowd at the Public Beach 50 yards south. It is a top spot on the island for sunsets and on Sundays the world-famous Siesta Key Drum Circle happens 100 yards down the beach. The water here is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing.

The Home
Large 3BR home fully remodeled in 2023. Beautiful décor and thoughtful amenities throughout. Out-door grilling and dining, indoor and outdoor lounging, perfect for bigger groups, surrounded by palms. Set on the Southern edge of Siesta Village. Just 1-minute walk to top beaches, and 3-minute golf cart or trolly ride (15-minute walk) to restaurants and the best fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts on the island.

Bedroom Details
This ocean view property is three stories, living space on the second and third floor. There is one large king bedroom, two queen bedrooms, a queen sleeper in the living room, a trundle under one of the queen beds and two Tempur-pedic rollaway beds. You can sleep up to 11 family style. Need more space? We can get you a tempur-pedic rollaway bed or an additional unit nearby.

Property Truths
The pool at this location is shared with just three other units. Your unit is unit A, the pool is located behind units C and D, and this is only 20 steps from your building. While shared pools are "the norm" on the island, especially this close to the beach, people used to less popular beach destinations could be caught by surprise. Our properties in Vermont and New Jersey commonly have private pools, but don't go there if you can go to Siesta Key.

Beach Gear Provided
We provide beach towels, chairs, carts, and umbrellas. If you don't have what you need, just reach out and we can usually get it for you. Correction for Air-b-n-b listings this location doesn't provide "snorkeling gear" but this and anything you need can be rented or purchased nearby.

Household Items Provided
We provide bedding, kitchen items, most major and minor appliances, blow dryers, and hangers. Simple soaps and paper products come in starter-supply that will get you through a short stay and anything you need can be purchased nearby.

What to Bring
It's a laid-back island so pack as lite as you like. Our fashion is casual, wash and wear, and all units have laundries. Also, anything you forget to bring can be found nearby in good supply and fair prices.

Post Booking Support
We understand vacation time is precious and will make sure you get the most out of it. Our number is the only contact information you need. All units are at the top attractions on the island. Cars are never required, but you will have private parking near the unit. No check-in restrictions, check-in any day of the week at any time using a private door-code. Never a cleaning requirement at checkout. Free early check-in when possible. No hidden fees or solicitations. Every unit including this one is available for instant booking. We can recommend the best spot for fishing or fresh fish, Michigan or Ohio State games, romantic-dinners marriage-proposals or singles, eco-tourism, family friendly activities, or safe ways to lose your kids when you(they) need alone time.

We were a group of moms and daughters, and we had the best time. The location was great, and the amenities of the house were everything (and more) than we needed. The check out process was the easiest we've ever experienced, which is the icing on the cake to a wonderful place to vacation!

We stayed at Hoppy's Beach View and it was lovely! The owners were very communicative leading up to our trip and during our stay. The unit itself was clean and stocked with kitchen essentials, shampoo/conditioner, laundry soap, toilet paper, towels, and beach gear which was so helpful. The location was awesome - Just a quick walk to the beach and trolley stop. We had 7 people stay here which worked out totally fine as long as you are comfortable with sharing rooms/space. I'd highly recommend renting through Gertrude!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much for the rental assistance for our recent stay in siesta key, Hoppy's. We enjoyed our short visit to the area and hope to return one day! We were overall very pleased with the accommodations. The location and proximity to the beach was great, beach equipment was convenient, beds were comfy, decor of unit was appealing and cozy, and plenty of laundry tablets for washing up clothes. There were a few things that were slightly unexpected. Minor-no dishwashing liquid in unit, kitchen drain had slight odor. Major-heavy rainstorms the night of our arrival left a huge puddle at the end of driveway as well as water laying in the garage/covered sitting patio area. This became such a nuisance as the only way in/out of the unit is right thru the water. No garage door code was provided so the beach carts had to also be brought in/out of the side man door . The water caused lots of bugs and mosquitos in the covered outdoor gathering space which were very troublesome for some of our family members. Also notable is the closest pathway to the beach access had lots of stagnant water to pass thru before reaching beach. Would have been better prepared with proper water shoes has we known what we would have to pass thru every time we headed to the beach. Not sure how much damage from previous hurricanes are to blame for some of the current situation but feel honesty about the water gathering in the common area would have been very helpful. Price did not reflect quality and inconvenience of the water/mosquito issue. Overall, stay was memorable and good location to explore Siesta Key!
Response from VrboOwner on 14 Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that these issues impacted your stay. If we had been aware of these concerns during your visit, our team would have been happy to address anything within our control and work toward a solution as quickly as possible. Regarding the beach access, the closest pathway is maintained by the city. After periods of heavy or prolonged rain, water can occasionally collect along the path. While this is outside of our control, we understand how it could be inconvenient for guests. We always want our guests to have an enjoyable stay and encourage them to reach out to us during their visit if something isn't right. Our team is readily available and will always do everything we can to help. Thanks, Danny Jones
