Waterfront vacation rentals in Gulf Gate Estates

Jeffery’s rental was perfect. He has such an eye for detail and it’s beautifully decorated. Our view of the ocean from the sitting area outside the rental was spectacular! The space contained everything you would possibly need and was extremely comfortable. This is our second stay at Shell Cove 1 and we highly recommend it to others.

Location was excellent, property was clean and as described. Free trolley service right on the corner made traveling to the Village easy. The view of the beach was beautiful and the shower had ample pressure and hot water for the 5 of us. Only thing it was lacking was enough towels and cleaning supplies to keep kitchen area cleaned up after meals. Will. Definitely return in the future!

Cute as a button! Super homie! Steps to the beach! Had everything we needed. The place was just as described and walkable to almost everything. Great location! Fabulous house! We will definitely be coming back to stay with Debra. The sunroom is absolutely the best spot in the house!

this is my second year in a row coming down to siesta key and I have always stayed here. walking distance from everything but yet this place is quiet and peaceful. it is a diamond in the ruff.

Heidi has a gift in making you feel warm & welcome! The welcome taffy treats in the condo, such a delightful start! And then we received a surprise orange juice and mini key lime pie delivery the next morning while the roofers were repairing the building. Amazingly thoughtful Last, the beautiful oceanfront views and short walking steps to the majestic beach are certain to fill your cup of Vitamin Sea! Heidi’s place is a perfect location for a quiet getaway.

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Cindy was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend

Great location, beautiful place, very private, beach right across the street, and Siesta Village a 4 minute drive, or trolley stop right in front of the complex to and from the village and lots of great restaurants.

We can’t say enough good things about Dune Our Thing! We had the best stay and really fell in love with Siesta Key. The condo was beautiful, comfortable and impeccably clean and decorated. The view of the ocean was great and it was so nice to open the patio door and hear the ocean. We loved how easy it was to get from SRQ to this condo—very easy drive and great location. We actually really liked staying near turtle beach…it was more private and quiet than other areas and the beach access was simple and close—just a walk over the dune. Shell hunting was really great on this beach. We rented a car, but we also used the free trolley and the frog hop service when we didn’t feel like parking. I can’t say enough good things about our host—they were so helpful and had our place stocked with holiday goodies and a welcome gift for our 4-year old son. We will be back, and likely to stay in this same place again. Thank you so much, we highly recommend!!

Such a beautiful house in an amazing location! 10 minutes from great restaurants and the amazing Siesta Key beach. Not to mention the lake in the back of the house itself was an amazing view and spot to catch sunrise or sunset too. The house itself was beautiful with everything we needed. Marius was a great host that was super responsive and accomodating to our plans too. Looking forward to our next visit to Sarasota to stay here again!

We had the most perfect stay at Aubrey’s! We loved everything about it! Great location, so comfortable and nice, close to great restaurants and close to beach as well. The design features of the house and everything in it is very well curated and a house you want to spend time in and enjoy the beauty. The beach chairs and umbrella were perfect for the beach. We highly recommend Aubrey’s place and will definitely stay here when we come back! Melissa and John

The house was clean and had everything you needed to make you feel as if you were at your own home. The pool was great. The house was in a perfect location to anything you’d need, restaurants, stores etc. 15 minutes from the beach which was awesome. I would definitely stay here again if we are in the area!

The house is very convenient to the beach and to shopping and restaurants but far enough away from the main street to be very peaceful. Also, the kitchen and dining areas are large, so there is no problem having dinner "at home" for the family, if you want a break from eating out. Checking in was very easy, there are TVs in each bedroom, and the appliances, including washer and dryer all worked well.

This location was perfect- we could walk to the beach and have a short trip to local restaurants and grocery stores. This beach is spectacular, and the most beautiful I’ve experienced. The house was everything we could ask for - very clean and the rooms and furniture are comfortable. The pool is a nice add though we didn’t use it- we were at the beach instead. We didn’t need to contact Richard as everything was as expected and explained. Thank you so much!

This was among the most beautiful and well-appointed Airbnbs that we’ve had the pleasure of staying in! Our trip was centered around a family 60th birthday celebration and this was such a lovely backdrop for our gathering. Our primary plans were to enjoy the sunrises and gorgeous outdoor area, cooking meals on the grill and enjoying them by the pool with a view of the intercoastal waterway. As such, when we arrived to find that the grill wasn’t working properly, we were disappointed. We communicated with our host about the grill the day after our arrival, and received an immediate response. However, it ultimately required back and forth texts (some at our initiation due to not receiving an update) and three days until the handyman graciously brought over his grill to loan us. Something we learned from this trip is the importance of communicating to your hosts what it is about their place that is most important to your stay—and perhaps we should have checked on the grill specifically.

Sure! Here's a polished Airbnb review you can use: --- We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb in Nokomis, Florida. The place was clean, comfortable, and cozy—just as described. The host was outstanding and very responsive, making everything smooth and easy. We especially loved the beautiful views and the wonderful wildlife sightings right from the property. Highly recommended!

2nd time staying in one of Jeff’s properties and as expected, 5 stars! The property was perfect for us, but especially the host was outstanding! Looking forward to coming back! Thank you, Jeff!

Brenda’s place was just as listed. Great location, clean, great space to call home for the week. Within walking or short drive to many restaurants and shopping areas. Walk to the beach was easy especially with all the beach supplies in the condo. Brenda was also very responsive when I reached out with clarifying questions.

We had a very good time at Siesta Key and enjoyed our time at Maureen's place. The building is older, the amenities are well maintained and the condo itself is well cared for. I did find some mystery stains on the mattress and the decorative pillows in my room, but I'm guessing they are just spills that were difficult to get out. More importantly, the boat dock is usable, albeit with some difficulty if the boat is larger than 22 feet or so. We figured out on the second day that the best way to dock was parallel to the intracoastal between the posts and to tie off with lines on either side of the stern and with a single line on the bow. I would check ahead to make sure the dock is available, but we had no other boats docked there on a holiday weekend. The private beach access was a lifesaver on a holiday weekend, despite the short walk required to get there. Having both intracoastal and beach access is the biggest value of the place in my opinion.

Amy was the most responsive host I have ever had on Airbnb. I appreciated her hospitality.

This was an amazing condo for our family trip! Pictures and listing were very accurate and it was so lucky to find a property on Siesta Key that was actually on the beach. We would absolutely stay here again! The beach is stunning and the two pools are wonderfully maintained Some things worth mentioning (they are disclosed in the listing) - you must provide your own beach/pool towels but there are plenty of shopping options nearby - beach chairs are free and located once you get down to the beach - for a fee, you can reserve/rent an umbrella and have it set up for you during your stay. The guys are out there early (7-7:30am) but then come in around lunch time so if you want an umbrella, I suggest going out in the morning to get it setup - dish soap, dishwasher tablets, hand soap are provided but you’ll need to purchase everything else (salt/pepper, spices, oil, ziplocks, shampoo/conditioner, etc). Super central location and very secure property! Would definitely stay here again!

The condo was very comfortable and clean! I stayed an extra day and Tee was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with. People in the condo community where very friendly. I especially liked that I had a specific covered parking spot each time I returned, so there were no problems with parking. I frequent Siesta Key and this location on the bay side is nice!

The place was exactly as described in the listing. The kitchen had everything we needed and overall quiet surroundings. The beach was very close and easily walkable even with children which was a plus! Great place and great location!

The place was great! Very well stocked kitchen, bathroom and even had beach stuff available for use. Location was perfect, a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants.

This place was paradise! Beach, ocean, and pool all so close and relaxing. Everything was a short, walkable, and there is a free trolley to take you all around the area. Ryan was great at communicating and responded within 15 minutes at the latest. Lots of towels for the beach, well stocked kitchen. Nothing but 5 stars all around!! 10/10 recommend this property and host!!!!
