Wonderful Stay!

Our girls trip was a success staying in this beautiful home. It's so close to shopping and the beach we didn't need to go far for anything! Love that the pool is heated and we were able to swim in the cooler weather.

Great

The beach house was very convenient to ocean and village. Dan and Zana were pleasant to work with and very accessible for questions. Property was very clean and well stocked in kitchen, as well as, recreational equipment (wagon, beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, paddle boards, etc.) Early check-in was very helpful and much appreciated. Our family vacation was fantastic!

Perfect family location for a Siesta Key Wedding

Our five-night stay at Gertrude's Siesta provided the perfect balance of convenience and relaxation as we celebrated our daughter's wedding on SK Beach. The property offered ample space for our nine family members, who ranged in age from 26-86. The elevator provided safe and easy access to the four floors, particularly when moving luggage and items for the reception. Communication and coordination with the owner and local manager was outstanding, particularly when additional household items were needed, e.g., bath towels, dish towels, hot pads, kitchen faucet required replacement, and floors needed to be cleaned. All requests were handled quickly and satisfactorily! We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and local shops and restaurants. We appreciated the beach extras in the garage, especially the wagons! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again.

Great Times with Great Friends!

Just spent a few days at Ventanas 117 and we had the best time! The house is convenient to the beach and town, and it comes with everything you need. Dan was so communicative and responded very quickly anytime we reached out with questions. We even extended our stay an extra night! Great time!

Great house, perfect location

House is equidistant from the beach and the major retail area in Siesta Key - about a block and a half each way. Perfect spot for our two families with four teenage boys. The kids could walk to the beach or go out to dinner on their own and we got some much appreciated adult time. The house itself was beautiful and clean. Tons of chairs and towels for the beach and wagons to haul them in. Four bicycles, a couple paddleboards - really all you need for a great beach vacation. Plenty of room in the house for 8 of us. The pool and outdoor space were ample and everything was in nice shape. Hosts were friendly and responsive.Thumbs up overall - would definitely stay here again.

Great spot in Siesta Key

We had a great time in Siesta Key and the home was perfect for our family of 10. It was a 2 minute walk to the beach and to the hub of town. Very easy to walk to get some food and taking the kids to the beach. The house was great. Plenty of room for our group. Highly recommend.

One of a kind!

What can’t I say about this place! This place was absolutely amazing. We had 14 ladies sleeping comfortably, with also plenty of space to shower and get ready. We were amazed at the number of areas and balconies to spend time and relax on! It is walking distance to so many places (coffee, restaurants, bars, beach, grocery store & shopping)! It was a quick 25 minute drive from Sarasota airport, after that no car would be needed. The area was very clean and safe to walk around as well! Dan was also amazing, very easy to communicate with. We didn’t have to worry about stripping the beds/linens, washing towels or cleaning up (not many places you can rent do that). It made our last day so much more enjoyable to relax and hangout at the pool and beach! We are already taking about coming back. Thanks again!

Wonderful Vacation!!

We had the best 4-day girls trip! Dan was amazing to work with leading up to our stay and staff were in touch once we arrived, making sure we were able to get in and settled. The house came completely as advertised. It was clean, spacious enough for a party of 13, and had everything we needed to spend a day at the beach or an afternoon around the pool. Thank you for letting us enjoy your house! We will be back!

Nice spot, nice place

Great comms from the host and the house was lovely overall. We would stay again. There were a few things that we might have expected to be provided (e.g. shampoo) that were not but that was probably an oversight on our part in the listing. Cleanliness could be improved a tiny bit in the bathrooms and the quality of the soaps (given the impressive nature of the place) was a bit disappointing. But it's a beautiful spot, host communication was superb, the bikes etc. in the garages are great and everything worked very nicely.

Lots of Space!

This home is beautiful with a great location! We went with 12 in our group ranging from 1 year old to 73, enough space for all for sure but everything is on a different level of the home so you use alot of stairs. There is an elevator but was not working the entire week we stayed so that was a problem with a toddler and grandparents. The beach is beautiful & a short walk! Located within walking distance to many different restaurants and shopping as well. The beds my family of 5 used were OK. The host was responsive & easy to get in touch with.
