About this apartment rental
** All Reservation Requests require a Minimum 15 day lead time per HOA rules.**
Welcome to the River Strand gated community.
River Strand includes an Arthur Hill designed 27 hole world class golf course (see Links section for more info), 8 Har Tru tennis courts (Lighted), swimming pools, and a lazy river/resistance pool. (Depends on one's perspective: go with the flow - it's a lazy river, swim against the flow - it's a resistance pool)
The Clubhouse has a 24/7 fitness wellness centre, jacuzzi, two restaurants, and tiki bar.
In addition biking, walking, jogging paths, and softball fields are all nearby.
The new community center offers an even larger fitness center, half basketball courts, pickle ball courts and another pool and hot tub.
Access to all facilities, including the Golf Club and Tennis Center is available to you.
The Golf Club membership is a family membership and includes full playing privileges for both spouses and any children under 18 years of age.
The only additional charges are a one time member transfer fee, and golf fees.
The golf fees are set by the annual budget and can be found at the River Strand Golf website.
Our unit is located on the third floor of the four storey condo building, and the elevator is just down the hall.
The 1260 square foot spacious unit has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The Master bedroom has a King sized bed with ensuite bathroom which includes an oversized stall shower.
The Second bedroom is furnished with two twin beds.
The Second bathroom is also full sized and includes a bathtub.
Each bedroom has an HD television set.
A pull out couch in the living room gives the unit the ability to sleep up to 6. The pull out couch has a more-comfortable-than-you-would-think memory foam mattress.
The screened lanai offers a fantastic overlook view of the 6th hole of the Estuary 9, one of the three nines of the golf course. We have an electric BBQ on the Lanai for your use as well.
The floorplan is the very popular Brookside layout (mirror image from posted picture).
The kitchen has granite countertops and a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and a dinette set in the breakfast nook.
The kitchen is fully equipped and well appointed and should have everything you need. (A pet peeve of ours is kitchens that don't have the 'stuff' that you typically need. We have tried to anticipate everything and provide it for you).
The dining room off the kitchen seats 6.
There are tiled floors throughout the condo, but with carpeting in the two bedrooms.
Other amenities include: 55" UHDTV (4k capable) with soundbar, Blu-Ray(DVD) player, extended cable package (including ESPN/Golf channel and loads of HD channels), Unlimited High Speed (100 megabits per second download) Internet / Wifi, and a full sized washer/dryer.
The building has an elevator, a secure private storage locker across from unit, and a reserved covered parking space.
In the locker, we have provided two bicycles (with helmets), two tennis rackets, beach chairs, beach toys, and much more all for your use during your stay.
One of the many swimming pools within the community is located literally across the street from the condo (you can see it in the Google Earth Vicinity picture).
Other points of interest in the vicinity include: MLB spring training facilities - NY Yankees (Tampa), Baltimore Orioles (Sarasota)
Shopping: Ellenton Outlet Centre, New Sarasota Mall (UTC), University Parkway
Siesta Key Beach - is 30 minutes away. Siesta Key beach was ranked the #1 beach in the United States by a site we apparently aren't allowed to mention on here... but suffice it to say, they Advise people on their Trips.
Downtown Sarasota offers opera, symphony, ballet, and live theatre as well as many restaurant and entertainment options.
We have a local property manager that is available for any needs that come up during your stay. They are local in the area and are just a phone call away!
Restrictions: No smoking (including Lanai), No pets (we apologize for this, but it is for allergy reasons, and we hope you understand)
Your interest and inquiries are extremely important to us, but we both are usually quite tied up during the day. So we will get back to you, absolutely within 24 hours, and most times it will be the evening of when you sent your inquiry.
Because VRBO's rate input mechanic caters more to short term rentals versus one month rentals, and the math on the nightly structure doesn't always work out - our seasonal rate structure is as follows:
Jan, Feb, March: $4000 per month plus extras as outlined on Rates section
April: $3000 per month plus extras
May - November: $2175 per month plus extras
December: $3000 per month plus extras
Per HOA rules - all rentals require a separate rental agreement to be completed

I stayed here for about a month and a half for work and everything was great. The place is exactly as described and shown in the pictures, and Jenny was incredibly thorough with all her instructions and help. I especially appreciated how well stocked the condo was with basics like cleaning supplies and kitchen necessities. I will definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a longer rental in Bradenton!

Just finished two month vacation (Oct./Nov) 2016 at this beautiful condo. The owners, Jenny and Sean were excellent to deal with. The day we arrived Jenny called to make sure everything was in order and ifyou we had any questions or concerns. The condo itsel was very well furnished and decorated and the lanai overlooking the golf course was a great place to start your day with your coffee. Included with the rental were two bikes which we used almost daily along with beach chairs, umbrellas, pool supplies etc. Pretty well everything you needed to enjoy a day at the beach or pool was in this condo.
The complex was amazing. 3 great golf 9 hole golf courses, pool directly across from condo and main pool at the check in centre as good as you will find anywhere. Fitness centre and tiki bar at main pool were staffed by very friendly and accommodating staff. Everybody we met on golf course, tennis course or just walking and biking through the complex were very friendly.
We will definitely be returning to River strand in the future and highly recommend Jenny and Sean's condo as a great place to spend your vacation

Jenny and Sean were great to work with! Everything is so organized. The local manager was so responsive when I had a small problem with the AC. The location of the unit is perfect and I loved sitting on the lanai every morning with my coffee. Looking forward to a return visit!

Top quality condo, top class golf course, and best beaches a short drive away. Siesta Key Beach is fantastic. A resort pool and outside bar that is as good as any I have seen, and a pool next to the condo for convenience. It was also easy to get to local grocery stores, shops, outlet mall, and simple to upscale restaurants.
River Strand is a hidden gem in my view. The pre-planning before the trip and overall condo rental management was first class.
