The Village Breeze I - Heated Pool, Beaches, Daiquiris, Seafood, White-sand!

The Village Breeze - Heated Pool, Beaches, Daiquiris, Seafood, White-sand! A Gertrude Rentals property. No car required! Enviable location on quiet street, with heated Pool, near Beach, but just 250ft to the world famous Siesta Key Village. A true favorite of initiated guests, and sure to provide a combination of fun and rejuvenation you won't find in other getaways.

- Steps to Oysters, Craft Beer, Ice Cream, Daiquiris, Live Music, Huge Breakfast, Stone Crab!
- Award Winning Beaches, 20 Bar/Restaurants!
- Walk to Siesta Key Beaches and clear calm Azure Water & pure quartz White Sand.
- Tide Pools & Sand Bars for lounging, sleeping, relaxing, or water sports.
- Best Sunsets in North America with 300 degree views of Gulf.
- Kayak, bike, paddle-board, scooter, golf cart rentals.
- Free island Trolley & every activity imaginable.
- A one of a Kind Island Experience.

The Location – The possibilities are endless! Enjoy the best Beaches, Seafood, Drinks, Ice-Cream, Shopping, Oysters, Live-Entertainment, fresh-Donuts, Daiquiris, big-Breakfast, and the Coldest-Beer on the Island. Rare secluded street in the heart of Siesta Keys world famous Village. Just a short walk to two of the best beaches on the planet and only 250 feet to all the best of the Village. One of only four units in this building. 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 Siesta neighborhood where you can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shirt and shoes.

Possible Itinerary - Wakeup, decide if you will wear shoes today, then head to Sun Garden Café for a Crab Cake Benedict. Theirs is the best and they serve breakfast til 12 so there's no rush. Eat there Al Fresco, return to the pool, or walk over to the beach and look for dolphins, swim, bike, or just or just go back to sleep. This is a special spot so exploring a little will be worth your while. I like wading out to the sand bar at low tide. Bike rides on the beach are also amazing. Bike south to check out Point of Rocks or north and east to Big Pass. I usually skip lunch and have a 3PM happy hour meal at SKOB or the Hub, after drinking my fill I grab a real dinner, then walk back down to the beach to watch the sunset and digest. The sunsets are amazing, it's what leaf season in the north would be like if it happened every day, and if they had dolphins and great weather there. Now it's dark and you can go out or go to bed, but you have to make a decision. While deciding consider my grandmothers advice “Life is a string of pearls and you never know how many you have left.”- GVLJ

Not what advertised
I was expecting handicap accessible place but there was not one single grab bar in either bathroom. There was no room for a wheelchair in the bedroom or the bathrooms. It was very uncomfortable for us to get around. The property manager was very nice but she knew in advance our situation and didn’t tell me the issues we would in counter.

Cute decor inside with tv and amenities for cooking. Nice beach/bath towels. Lots of room to spread out (we were 2) Good beach cart and beach chairs. Limited parking on weekends; the back door is frosted glass and is always reflecting lights from outside. The beach is either 1/2 mile to see sunsets and Siesta Key Beach is about 1 1/2 miles drive away.

Gertrude Rentals - excellent customer service
I HIGHLY recommend Gertrude Rentals. Dan is VERY responsive! He found us a place to keep our luggage on our day of arrival, addressed an issue we had promptly (just a clogged drain), and he reached back out to make sure everything was going well. Our unit was clean and perfect for our visit to Siesta Key! If I head back to the area I will definitely stay at one of his properties!

Great Stay
First off the owner/manager Dan was very quick to respond to any questions. The condo was very nice and centrally located to the village where all shopping and food is. The place sits right behind the circle k store which was convenient for ice and drink runs.the place was very clean and had plenty of supplies like toilet paper paper towels trash bags and even pods for washing clothes. Wife liked the silver ware so much she had me find it on Amazon and order a couple sets. Don’t do like we did and bring beach chairs because there are like 4 or so beach chairs and a wagon to pull stuff on property to use per each room. That was a nice touch. We stayed on a bottom unit and there was a family with small kids above us that sounds like they was running a marathon all night and moving furniture. The noise from upstairs was bad but it is a vacation and we tried to just ignore it. The same people also must own a pot farm because you could smell weed every time you step outside. They would smoke on the balcony and at the pool. Also kids that wasn’t staying at the place would invade the pool from time to time. None of this is the fault of the property or it’s owner that could happen at any rental. We just took it mostly with a grain of salt figuring we are on vacation and not going to let it bother us. I would definitely book at this property again and do plan to. We had such a great time now just have to get over the sunburn and back to work. Can’t wait to go back!!

Small place in the center of town
The things we liked the most were the location and Daniel Jones. It’s not a big unit, but it’s plenty big. There were enough kitchen appliances and tools to please anyone. You’re only a block from all the shops too. It was further from the beach than we thought, so we drove there as it would be difficult to carry towels and beach accessories. It’s located right behind a gas station and on two occasions there were three or four guys hanging back there for an hour at a time. Nothing came of it, but it was uncomfortable. The main negative was the price. A lot of fees and a high price, in our opinion. Daniel was amazing and will do anything to make your trip a good one. I personally would not stay there again because of the price.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The daily rate for this property is not insignificant, so you deserve to know the good, the bad and the ugly. The GOOD. (1) While the property décor and furniture is very dated (read OLD), it was generally clean. (2) The pool itself is well maintained and clean. (3) The property is very close to Siesta Village fun as well as number of beach access points. (4) There are great beach chairs and a beach cart for your use. (5) The property manager is VERY responsive. We had one (fixable) issue and he responded and corrected it immediately. (6) This is a pet friendly property which is very nice. The BAD. (1) If you intend on doing anything other than warming food in the kitchen, you should look somewhere else. There is one two bulb light fixture for the kitchen. There are no other lights around the stove or any of the counter tops so it is almost impossible to see what you’re doing. There are few useful kitchen utensils. There is virtually no counter space whatsoever. There is a huge microwave on the only large counter space (you have to reach WAY behind it to put on the garbage disposal). There is a mish mash of cheap, unmatched dishes. No mixing bowls. Cheap pans you can’t cook on because everything sticks to them no matter how much oil you use. No oven mitts (which is OK because there is only one small, cheap oven pan). And, get this, one, only one, dishtowel and no dish clothes. (2) You get four (small) bath towels per bathroom and (drum roll) ONE hand towel per bathroom. The beach towels are small and cheap. The UGLY. (1) The people renting upstairs were very nice. But every time they walked around it sounded like a bowling alley above us at all hours of the day and night. The noise is unavoidable (we talked to them) but nonetheless really, really annoying. (2) The owner describes the back of the property as ‘facing the commercial area’. What it is is an alley shared with, among other businesses, a Circle K gas station which is open late hours. They have two wonderful porta-potties parked at the edge of the alley – the smell on a hot day was just wonderful. Kids love to congregate behind the Circle K every night smoking dope and drinking. Not safe for my wife and daughter. More to say, but no room.

This listing was exactly as listed. Close proximity to anything you could possibly need. Pool was clean and easily accessible. Beach access spots all within an 8 min walk. If you stop at a shop or 2 on your way feels even shorter. Beach chairs were in good condition. And beach towels were of good quality. There was an umbrella left in closet for our stay. Make sure to bring a cooler to pack your beach beverages. Easy check in process and Dan was very responsive and accommodating. We have already forwarded this property to friends and family!!!
