Reviews indicate that this property is highly regarded for its cleanliness, great location near downtown Sarasota and beaches, and excellent communication from the host, Jeff. Guests appreciate the well-maintained amenities, including kayaks and a heated pool, as well as the beautiful waterfront views from the balcony. While some guests noted minor inconveniences, such as the master bedroom's bed placement and a locked bathroom, these did not significantly detract from their overall positive experiences. Overall, the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Great place. Great location. We had issues the first night with the gate operator other than that the stay was great.

Clean, Quiet and Relaxing Condo My wife and I had an enjoyable stay at Jeff's condo. The location is conveniently located near downtown Sarasota, St. Armand's and Lido Beach, as well as a grocery store. The condo was very clean and well supplied. The view is great and you can see the sun set over the homes across the waterway. We were so happy at how quiet the building was. The option to use the kayaks was also a great feature. Some points to consider when booking is that the master bedroom window is blacked out so no outside light can get in. This is great at night but it didn't bother us since there is no view anyways and we didn't stay in that room that much. Also, keep in mind that one side of the bed is against the wall so if you need to get up at night you have to crawl to the foot of the bed to get out. The bed is soft but since that is a preference to some people, I wouldn't ding this as a bad thing. The single bed in the second bedroom is firmer, if that is your liking. The place is very secure to get in so you do feel safe. Overall, we would definitely recommend Jeff's property for anyone looking for a relaxing spot to unwind and recharge.

Went for work It was a great stay. Im elderly so i wasnt able carry the kayak to the launching site (I drag mine) because i didnt want to scratch it up. The place was really wonderful. I got to see a manatee on the morning that i was leaving from the balcony.

Nice waterfront location Property owner was excellent communicating with us. Property was well kept with narrow balcony on water/river/inlet. Linens and kitchen were clean and well maintained. Very pleasant condo but access to one bathroom was not available since it was locked. Property is recommended for your Sarasota holiday

Great place to stay! The condo and location were great. The entire grounds were very clean and the condo was exceptionally clean. Our son loves to fish, so it was nice he could just walk out in the mornings and fish and we could watch him from the balcony. We only used the kayaks once, but was a plus that they were available to us and there was a kayak launch right there. We will definitely keep this place in mind of we return next year.

Great Sarasota Condo A really nice condo with lovely water views from the balcony. Lots of Pelican activity to enjoy. The Strand is a nice complex with a saltwater pool in a great location, close to downtown. This condo has the added value of providing 2 kayaks for guests use. We loved taking the kayaks out on the Bay. It was a definite highlight of our time there. The owner is wonderful to deal with and responds to all questions within minutes. I highly recommend a stay here.

Couldn't ask for anything more Loved staying at The Strand, I originally needed something temporary until I found a house and haven't yet, so I booked another month here in another unit the host has. I'd highly recommend this property and host!!!

Excellent Condo! Condo is exactly as pictured and has everything you need for your stay. All the kitchen items were provided as we like to cook in. It was nice they also provided cleaning and paper products. Check-in process was well communicated and directions were very easy to follow. Jeff was very prompt with responses and easy to communicate with. The condo is in a very nice area located next to some wonderful parks with walking paths located on the water. Would highly recommend this condo to others. Jeff, thank you for everything and we will be back.

The master bed on the floor was very hard for my parents to get in and out of the bed. The property was very nice. The location was hard to find but once we figured it out, we were good.

Brand new condo Our stay was fantastic. The pictures are accurate and the space is spotless as it is brand new. We watched the sunsets from the balcony and it is in very close proximity to everything -- Downtown, Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle, and RCAD. The owner is very responsive.
