    Condo was very clean, great location, and a quiet community. We could walk to the grocery store, restaurants, and a nice park. The community amenities were great. We used the workout center daily, pool in the afternoon, and dog run. We rent often in Florida and this is one of the nicer units we have stayed at.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Strand . The managment company was so welcoming to us, and left a little welcome bag with some coffees and treats. The condo we stayed in was immaculate, and it had everything in the condo you could use to cook. It was well stocked with items for cooking. It even had an electric grill which we loved. We had the perfect view of beautiful sunsets to watch from the balcony. We were able to bring our Teddy (our little dachshund with us) and he loved it too. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

    My husband and I stayed for a month while waiting on completion of our villa. Great location and beautiful canal view out to the bay. Condo was well stocked with everything you need. Easy communication with the property manager. We would definitely recommend staying here!

    Nice apartment in a new building in a great location. It would have been nicer if there was a loveseat or additional furniture on the balcony. And, the bedsheets could have been a better quality. I expected better attention to details for the money. But, all in all we had a nice stay.
