My wife and I have been using VRBO ( formerly HomeAway) for 16 yers. This is the first negative review we will be giving.Let’s start with an overview as it seems that the owner or the management company never really takes a walk through to see if the condo meets the expectations of it’s guest. A list of issues.1-the listing says 2 bedrooms, sleeps 4. The second bedroom has a single dorm type bed, no window- it is really a closet with a crappy bed in it.2-the primary bedroom has a king size bed in a queen size room. One side of the bed is against the outside wall. Getting out or in requires taking a trip across a platform bed that is very low to the floor. Note to owner-The room with work much better with a queen bed. No extra linens.3-No live TV. If you want to watch TV you need to have the App you want. Not mentioned in the VRBO listing.4-the sofa is old and creepy. The rug in front of it is full of stains.5-There are almost no cleaning supplies. We rented for a month, no broom, vacuum, etc. There is a hand held vacuum which could not be used. It was full of dirt so black we would not even pick it up to look at it.6-The wood floor is not really clean. I badly made the mistake of walking barefoot across it and the bottom of my feet were black. 7-Screen door to balcony is ripped so you could not leave the actual door open for fresh air. 8-very few kitchen amenities. We needed to buy a can opener.Seems like the owner is simply not interested in unit.

Great location and amenities

Great stay and location. This condo has it all. Close to SRQ airport, excellent proximity to downtown Sarasota, beaches and St. Armands circle. The saltwater pool was perfect and the gym was high quality. Sunsets from the balcony were a favorite. The best overall stay in Sarasota so far. We'll be back!

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.

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.
