About this property

Private Deck, Steps to Best Beaches and World Famous Siesta Village!

Siesta Key Dreams Penthouse Studio (323) - Beach, Shopping, Dining, Entertainment! 90 steps to Beach and Village!

This is the Siesta Dreams Studio apt, a Gertrude Rentals property! Leave the car behind! Perfectly located steps to the best beaches, shopping, dining, and entertainment on Siesta Key. Bright and Sunny 3rd Floor unit with Private Deck, Free parking, Al-fresco dining and grilling, but just 90 steps to the Access 7, Siesta's Top Beach. Sure to provide a combination of fun and relaxation you can't get in other getaways.

The Location - This will be “easy” just like vacations are supposed to be. It's just a one-block walk to all the best of the Siesta Village - fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts. The beaches here are the widest on the island, have panoramic views of the gulf to the North-West-and-South, and are the top spot in North America for viewing sunsets. The water is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing. 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. 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.

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. Snorkeling gear can be rented or purchased nearby.

Support Post Booking - I understand vacation time is precious and my job is to make sure you get the most out of it. My number is the only contact information you need. My units are already at the top attractions on the island. Cars are never required, but you will have private parking near the unit. Check-in any day of the week at any time using your private door-code. No requirement ever at checkout. Free early/late check-in/check-out, whenever possible. Never hidden fees or solicitations of any kind. No paper contracts and easy booking. I'll phone you to touch base after booking and the week vacation starts. Five days before arrival I'll email instructions including your door-code address and guidebook. One day prior to arrival I'll send you a “Reminder” email with all the same information.

When you book with me you get a fully accessible and knowledgeable owner/host and reliable advice from a G-approved local expert. I 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 need a break. For the less extroverted, every booking comes with an unabashed guidebook detailing the property, all my favorite things to do in the area, and never any advertisements or solicitations. This is the only rental offering of its kind on the key.

Terms - Payments are 50% refundable when canceled at least 60 days before arrival. Payments are not refundable when canceled less than 60 days before arrival. Events or gatherings involving outside guests are only allowed with prior approval from the management. Guest agrees to hold the Property Manager and Owner harmless from any liability for injuries while on vacation. *If you prefer insured bookings, we recommend providers Generali and Rental Guardian for Trip-Protection coverage.

Events - Many of our properties are wonderful locations for gatherings. Gatherings involving third party vendors or visitors outside your occupancy limit ""might"" be permitted, but only with prior authorization. Event fees will apply including location fees of between $1000 and $3000 and guest fees of $19 per person in excess of your occupancy limit. Out of consideration for all our travelers, hosting an event requires booking every unit at your property location."

Book it!
Perfect location. Beach access is right across the street. Siesta Key Village is a very short walk, where you will find many restaurants, bars, and shopping. No car needed to get around. The unit itself was nicely remodeled, and was comfortable. We will definitely be back next year.

Hi Dan. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. The place was very clean and convenient to the beach. The only suggestion would be a second set of bed pillows and a lock on the studio door (deadbolt on inside). Thanks again! Lorraine

March trip
Value overall was excellent. Positive aspects: Dan was always very responsive. Proximity to the beach was very close as advertised. Also nice proximity to village. Nicely decorated and stocked with essential items. The beach gear was very helpful and the spot to stow luggage briefly after checkout was very helpful. The deck was a great spot to relax and even had a slight view of the water through some of the buildings. Things to improve: A bit deeper clean would be good, specifically the kitchen cabinets. The bedding could be updated as the pillows were a bit flat and the fitted sheet was popping off.

Perfect for two!
We loved this unit, it had everything we needed and was well appointed with lots of amenities. We didn't have to worry about anything. The location is fantastic and very walkable, we loved having the beach right across the street so that we could catch the sunset and then walk to dinner! Thank you for a great stay, we will definitely be back soon!
