Summary: The condo was beautifully decorated and comfortable; the pics don't do it justice online. A main reason I rented this was to enjoy sitting on the balcony and we did until, (out of owner control but did mess up my tranquil time)was the construction across the canal 24 hrs a day for 3 of five days. This was May 3-7 and it doesn't look like it will end any time soon. Another reason I chose this property was the inclusion of kayak and paddleboard, unfortunately the locks were rusted from non-use and wasn't available until late Monday evening, but my plans were to chill with them on Sunday and Monday morning, had other plans rest of time. Disappointed mostly because it was something small, but could've been avoided and it did mess up our plans for our first 2 mornings of paddling the canal. Oh, and there were small ants in kitchen that they had spray under the sink for....not a big deal unless you leave any food items on counter.

Summary: This is a beautiful unit with nice views of a canal and the Gulf. The unit was clean and had thoughtful touches, like snacks. It is best for a family, as the second bedroom is small and has twin beds. The property seemed nice, but we did not use any of the amenities to be able to comment. The management company responded quickly when contacted.

Summary: We came to Sarasota for the Christmas week and the condo could not have been more perfect. Having coffee on the balcony every morning with the beautiful view was the perfect start to the day. Evelio and Trish were perfect hosts and the condo was tastefully decorated for the holiday. the condo had everything we needed. Perfect spot for a great get away.

Summary: Our unit was absolutely perfect for us. First of all, I’d like to thank Evelio for his excellent communication throughout our stay. We had some difficulty with the code to enter the unit and he responded promptly to my texts to resolve the issue. The unit itself, had everything we needed and was beautifully appointed and exceptionally clean. The only thing I would recommend would be a new mattress in the master bedroom. The mattress topper was well worn and had some unavoidable lumps, making It difficult to get a good nights sleep. The location was perfect: near downtown Sarasota and not far from Armand circle where there were plenty of restaurants and shops to visit. We enjoyed spending time at the pool each day. We would definitely return to The Strand on our next trip to Sarasota.

Summary: The condo was beautiful and relaxing. From the moment we walked in the door, I knew this was going to be a great vacation! We especially loved having access to the boat lift out back (we brought our own boat) and the view from the back balcony. The owner was so friendly, thoughtful, and helpful. We loved our stay!! I would highly recommend this condo to others!!
