Escape to THE KINGFISHER AT PALM BAY CLUB, a rare Siesta Key resort experience. With a 40-foot bay-view balcony connecting the living room and master, this impeccably decorated unit offers tropical gardens and rows of royal palms just outside. Enjoy free access to tennis/pickleball courts, private beach with chaises, two heated pools, hot tubs, fitness center and beautiful grounds stretching from Beach to Bay.
Bay-View unit with 40 foot balcony connecting living room and master! Impeccably decorated, newly remodeled, with tropical gardens and rows of royal palm's just outside. One unit in from the pool and bayfront, set in one of the last true resorts on Siesta Key. Amenities free with this unit include - tennis/pickleball courts, private beach and complimentary beach chaises, two heated pools, exterior bike racks, bayfront lounging area, hot tub, elevators, causeway on inter-coastal, barbecue areas, fitness center, fishing pier, and beautifully manicured grounds stretching from Beach to Bay. Boats under 21 feet are also welcome with dock fees. Travelers agree, this is one of Palm Bay Clubs best units!
Compare - With so many amenities, and all of it free of charge, a 3-night stay here will feel like a two-week getaway. If you get the most from a vacation when you don't have search or worry about anything, this unit is not a plus for you it's a must! Although you could easily take a free trolley 1-mile any direction to dozens of shops and restaurants, you can also satisfy every vacation desire without ever putting on your shoes or leaving this resort. You can swim in pools or in the Gulf, fish the intercoastal, exercise in the gym, sleep in the sun, explore Siesta Key's best beach, make Sandcastles, and even sightsee all in a safe environment and right on your property. The beach here has the whitest sand on the island, but some of the best moments are watching boats and dolphins pass from the private balcony or nearby bayfront pool.
Note on resort limits – Expect a special experience where each visitor's peaceful enjoyment is respected. The minimum age for visitors not accompanied by a parent or guardian is 25 years. Stay up as late as you want, but the “quiet neighbor times” begin 10 PM. After 10 PM relocate the party to nearby Siesta Village or the Crescent Beach area. Just one parking space per unit. If any of these limits are not a fit for you, please let me know, I have other properties available.
Support Post Booking - I understand vacation time is precious and I will make sure you get the most out of it. My number is the only contact information you need. My units are 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 check-in when possible. Never hidden fees or solicitations. Every unit including this one is available for instant booking.
Your host - 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.
Terms - There is a 50% refund for bookings canceled 60 days before arrival. Bookings canceled less than 60 days before arrival are nonrefundable, but travel insurance is available for purchase on vacation rental bookings. Shared areas, Guest agrees to keep them beautiful, peaceful and clean. Guest agrees to hold the Property Manager and Owner harmless from any liability for injuries while on vacation. Sorry, but to protect the very special vibe of this property…guests guilty of violating 10 PM “quiet neighbor policy”, leaving personal items visible to common areas, or public behavior a reasonable person would find appropriate will be politely evicted.

Great location, great facilities, and easy access to the beach. The heated pools were perfect for our winter trip. Check-in and check-out was seamless. Highly recommended.

Excellent Experience!
Our group had a wonderful time at this location. The unit was lovely and well-stocked. Great location and friendly staff. The beach access is awesome. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay. Location is perfect, staying on the bayside was unique and picturesque. The walk to the beach was nice and easy with chairs available for setup. Our family enjoyed playing pickle ball, using the fitness center and the ease of being able to walk to the restaurants and shops

Great Getaway!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at The Palm Club on Siesta Key. Even with the area still working to recover from the hurricane, the experience was very pleasant and the staff did an amazing job communicating and offering additional services. Would definitely recommend stay with Gertrude Rentals!

Another Great Siesta Key Trip with Family and Friends
We really enjoyed our stay at Palm Bay Club with Gertrude Vacation Rentals. The combination of the beach with the pool/hot tub overlooking the bay makes for the ideal stay. The 3 bedrooms and 3 balconies gave everyone their own private space! Looking forward to coming back for years to come.
Had an incredible stay. The amenities are outstanding. The early check out is a slight bummer but makes sense since we were asked not to clean up after ourselves. Would definitely try to return next year!
Great location, close to the beach. Pools were very nice. Water was very hot in the spa but overall very clean. Nice, friendly guests. Check in was smooth, but would recommend key information to be summarized at the top of the emails.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay. Property is very nice and clean. Location was great and near a trolley stop that allowed access to both sides of siesta key. The two pools were very nice and refreshing. Dan was very responsive to an issue with the coffee maker and replaced it the next morning. Thank you!

Had a great week
Our stay in the Kingfisher at the Palm Bay Vlub was very nice. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The private beach was well kept and loved that they had guys on golf cart out to help you when you got there. Had my 72 year old mother with us and they drove her right down to where she wanted. Will definitely be back.
It was clean, average due to shower doors went off track frequently and it could have had a hand mixer in kitchen.. Beds were comfortable. The sheets and towels were a little scratchy. The amenity to the club were efficient which included beach towels., cart and chairs.

Great
We had the best stay at Palm Bay Resort. Daniel hooked us up with a wonderful condo that accommodated our party perfectly. We had trouble with gate codes but we were able to get in touch with a help line who got a back one for us. The pickle ball courts, pools and walk to the beach was nothing short of amazing! We will be back for sure!!! Thank you
We’ve stayed on the island a few times and each place we’ve stayed has its own unique quality to it. This property was our favorite so far with the modern design giving the unit a more updated feel than the dated “beach style” units to the incredible number of amenities that come with the property. We enjoyed the relaxing Bayside views with a 30-yard walk to the pool, hot tub and fishing dock. We also appreciated the private beach area located on the oceanside where they provided free beach chairs. The security staff at the location was incredibly kind and welcoming which gave us a real resort feel. We found great joy watching our daughter play in the sand during sunsets and taking the daily dip in the pool during the afternoon hours. Having everything we needed on location made it for in incredibly relaxing week and we look forward to going back again soon!

Great Stay
I have stayed at multiple properties from this owner/management group and the process is always seamless and my stay is always super enjoyable. They are all located near shops, restaurants and of course, THE BEACH! Don't hesitate to book with them for your next trip to Siesta Key, I know I will!

June 2025 Stay at Siesta Key
Everything worked out great with minimum effort. I would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay and absolutely loved this unit! The accommodations were exactly as described and very clean. Check-in and check-out were incredibly easy—check-out was literally just walking out the door, which we really appreciated.
The in-unit washer and dryer were a huge plus and made our stay even more convenient. The location is amazing, and the Palm Bay Club property itself is top-notch with beautiful pools, a hot tub, gated community, and direct beach access with beach service.
We truly love staying here. This is our second time at this unit and will absolutely return. Highly recommend!
