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.

Modern and clean, great security, very uncomfortable bed.
Overall, the location and the condo are nice. However, although the bed looks great ( whole condo is very modern), the mattress is amongst the worst my wife and I have slept on. Little to no support, you sink in and feel every little movement from the other person. Sleep was hard to get, we tried the pull out sofa bed in the living room, but it was just as bad. Upon arrival we quickly and very unexpectedly were informed by local residents that the elevators didn't work and had been out of service since the last hurricane that affected the area. As you can imagine, it wasn't much fun carrying our luggage and groceries up the 3 flights of steps. On our last day there, I kindly informed Jeff about our troubles with the bed and elevator. He was quick to respond and informed me that someone had just asked where they could purchase the bed and that he knew about the elevators (and did not inform us before we arrived), but had not been updated on the current status, not what I expect when paying for "luxury". That said, I wasn't looking for a well thought out explanation, an "I'm sorry for the inconvenience" would have been nice, I hope a new mattress is there for the next occupants to enjoy. As for the elevators, hopefully they are fixed soon enough, it's understandably out of his control, if that's a deal breaker for you I would definitely ask before booking. Now I'm sure Jeff is a great guy and he will look into these issues, overall we enjoyed the place just not the bed.

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!!!
