Perfect beach get away

The description of the property was perfect. Once you park, no need to use your car again. Plenty of beach gear to use, free trolly system, and it really was about 150 steps to the beach. We had a perfect time.

Family Vacation

We booked this location so that we would be close to the beach. 150 steps gets you to the edge leading to the beach. We had someone with us that had difficulty walking so it was not as close as we had hoped. The beach and location is beautiful though, so if you can walk the extra steps will worth the walk. The beach did have a beach wheelchair available so we utilized that. The condo had a lot of beach chairs and toys available.

Beautiful Beach

We stayed here Thanksgiving week with my two kids, their spouses and babies. We were aware there were three hurricanes before our arrival. So with that being said, we were still happy with the beach., restaurants, shops. We walked everywhere. It was unfortunate. We weren’t able to use the pool for it was just too cold for the babies and us, but we enjoyed the beach. They provided bikes for us and went out of their way to get them as well as Beach supplies, a wagon to pool, chairs, towels, etc. and made it so much more enjoyable.! They also supplied toys for the kids, but my daughters went ahead and ordered extra ones from a baby supply rental place in town including cribs and high chairs. Dan was very much present for our needs. Highly recommend.!

Siesta Key Long Weekend

We rented Gertrude 3BR home for 5 nights. I have to say, the house rental was completely spectacular. Very clean and well appointed with amenities. The best part was all the beach gear and wagons to be able to set up at the short walk to the beach. The shared pool with the home next door was great also. I would highly recommend Gertrude rentals and highly recommend Siesta Key as a destination.

Great

This beautiful beach home had it all for 6 of us—beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, cooler, swimming pool, beach towels, and even an elevator! Very clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, and a kitchen that was well stocked with dishes and cookware to cook, and eat in if you want but it's located close enough to walk to the village for live music and great food and drinks! Located in a quiet neighborhood across the street from the beach! This place is going to rent out quickly—don't miss a chance to enjoy it for yourself!

This place was amazing! It worked out wonderfully for our family! Everything you could possibly imagine was provided. We did not have to pack any sand/beach stuff. The house was sooo comfortable and clean. I would give this a 10 star review! Super easy access to the beach!

We will look forward to booking a week ( or maybe 2!!) next year

A Prime Location

We had THE BEST stay at The Hoppy House. Dan was extremely responsive with my questions prior to our arrival. He also offered to accommodate us with any additional items we may need during our stay. The house was fully stocked with all of our kitchen needs. The garage had two wagons, beach, chairs, beach, toys, and umbrellas. There were plenty of linens available, but you will need to bring bathroom essentials, such as shampoo, conditioner. The walk to the beach was literally steps away. There are plenty of transport options available if you want to travel to the village for dinner, drinks, coffee, shopping. We definitely intend on staying next year!

Great location

My family agrees this was the best vacation rentals we stayed in. We had everything we needed for our stay at the house. Everything we needed for the beach. Such a short walk to the beach. It was great to have the elevator for my parents who are elderly and it was nice to use when taking loads of stuff up and down the stairs.

Perfect beach getaway!

We had a great time in Siesta Key, and this unit was exactly as advertised, if not better! Very clean, had everything we needed, and Dan was always quick to respond to any of our inquiries leading up to the trip. We had 3 young kids with us so being one block from the beach was perfect. This unit had two beach wagons, boogie boards, toys for the kids, etc. We left behind a bunch of toys and a puddle jumper (swimmies) to add to the collection. The pool is small and shared among a few units, so don’t count on having it to yourself. It’s really all about the beach! I would suggest bringing shoes that are comfortable for walking to dinner. It’s a really nice 15ish minute walk, so don’t bother with heels! Very very low key vibe in town. We were there during spring break so it was crowded, but that’s to be expected. None of the places take reservations so if you go during a peak time, either plan to go to dinner right at 5, or be prepared to wait. All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend staying in this unit if the size/configuration works for your group!

Perfect Vacation

Our group of 8 had a fabulous time at Hoppy's! It was perfect for us! We never used the vehicles after arriving because we could walk to the beach (2 minutes) and walk to town (10 minutes). We had four teen boys and two couples. The unit is well equipped with everything you need. There is plenty of space. The balcony was lovely in the morning to have breakfast, beach all day, back to the pool when you had enough sun, get ready and go out to dinner then back to Hoppy's lounge area to have an excellent evening! Our whole group agreed it was great! Highly recommend and Dan's service to answer all questions immediately was perfect!

Awesome family vacation - will return !!

From the start, this place made our vacation. Checkin was seamless with no issues, place was spotless and as advertised. Everything was well organized at the house so we found everything easily without having to contact Dan. Dan was great to work with and sent a google doc with tons of helpful information. The house had toys for the kids which kept them busy and we enjoyed the fire in evenings. Beach and park for the kids right across the street so prefect location for the kids. The kids (and I) were sad to leave the house and plan to visit again in the future. 5 stars all around!
