As the highest floor in the building, Unit 521 offers some of the most breathtaking, unobstructed water views at The Strand.
Step out onto your large private terrace and soak in sweeping vistas of Whitaker Bayou and the bay — including those legendary Florida sunsets that will leave you speechless every single evening.
The Space 896 sq. ft. of elegantly designed living space featuring high-end furniture and a crisp, airy palette of white and blue. The layout includes 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, a full kitchen with island, and a bright open living area flowing directly onto the terrace via large sliding glass doors.

10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
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.

10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2024
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.
