Downtown Oasis: Poolside Condo, Patio & Gym
Summary:
Enjoy this 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath condo. It has been flawlessly designed and constructed with a luxurious feel. The unit has an extra large patio sitting over a garden with a breath taking view of the glorious resort style pool at your doorstep. In addition to the idyllic waterfront living, our community is fully gated for your family’s safety and local amenities include a workout facility, kayak launch as well as a wealth of great walks, that many of the residents enjoy.
Guest Access:
1 car per unit is allowed for entry.
The Neighborhood:
A city overflowing with live theater. An internationally-acclaimed opera house and art museum. A soul-stirring symphony and soaring ballet. Fabulous places to dine as a prelude—or postscript—to a night on the town. New York? Maybe. Except, throw in a challenging round of golf in the morning, a powdery white beach in the afternoon, and a blazing sunset over the Gulf of Mexico to launch an evening's worth of exciting possibilities. The days begin at the water's edge and spill into downtown after dark.
Downtown Sarasota can be anything you want it to be. It's the tree-shaded esplanade of Main Street—filled with shops, restaurants, cafes, and gourmet food stores. It's the boutiques, salons, and art galleries of Palm Avenue. It's the antique stores and darkened art cinemas at Burns Court, or the quaint and friendly artists' colony at Towles Court. It's a morning's jog along the bayfront, lunch beneath the banyans at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens and afternoon high tea sipped in grand style at the Ritz-Carlton. It's a daylong fishing charter that glides from its bayside slip; or a sunny morning stroll amid fresh produce and other open-air delights at each Saturday's Farmers' Market.
Getting Around:
Navigating downtown Sarasota is a breeze, offering a seamless blend of convenience and charm. Whether you prefer to explore on foot, by bike, or via public transportation, downtown Sarasota has you covered. The city boasts pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, perfect for strolling amidst the vibrant streets lined with boutiques, cafes, and cultural attractions.
For cycling enthusiasts, dedicated bike lanes and picturesque paths make it easy to pedal your way through the city. Embrace the coastal breeze as you ride along scenic routes and discover hidden gems around every corner.
Public transportation options, including buses and trolleys, provide efficient and accessible ways to traverse downtown Sarasota and its surrounding areas. Enjoy the ease of moving from one district to another, experiencing the diverse offerings of this lively city.
Whether you're drawn to the cultural landmarks, shopping districts, or waterfront vistas, getting around downtown Sarasota is a delightful journey, inviting you to explore the heart of this vibrant Florida city with ease.

The pool and gym are the highlight of staying at the Strand. The happy hour at Wicked Cantina is awesome. We stayed almost two and a half months and loved Sarasota so much we bought a furnished Condo off of main street. The unit is very clean and had a very good kitchen. Being near the end it is a bit isolated but the privacy was nice. The pool had a few weeks where it was down for maintenance which was a drag and it took a while to get heated back up. Ample parking on site. Very close to downtown (cheap Uber ride). Host was quick to respond. Check in was easy.

Beautiful location in Sarasota
We love the Strand in Sarasota. The condo has access to the pool and a great fitness facility. The balcony overlooks the pool yet feels secluded because of the palm trees close to it. The condo is nicely appointed and has all the amenities. Location is close to the airport and very close to downtown. We are avid walkers and enjoyed being able to walk to downtown. This was our second stay. We hope to be back next year.

Great home away from home
We were in Sarasota to enjoy the pleasant temperatures and to visit our granddaughter. The condo offered us a lovely setting to relax. The location was great. We walked to town and drove to nearby beaches. The condo was comfortable, nicely furnished, well equipped and clean. We will definitely book again in the future.

Relaxing week
Property was just what I was looking for. Covered parking spot was not big enough for my vehicle but parking outside was not a problem.

Quiet Oasis
Property is clean and roomy enough for a family of four. The balcony had a nice view of the pool and gym. The condo is on a quiet property with a large heated and never crowded pool. The parking is easy and secure. My only suggestion would be an upgraded mattress (unless you prefer a very soft mattress). Overall, It is a nice place and would love to visit again.

Spring getaway
Wanted to get away from winter in Ohio. We’ve been to Sarasota before but wanted to stay in a condo this time. This place is great, wonderful location, close to a grocery store, restaurants and downtown Sarasota.
We enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony and reading out there.
We want to stay here again the next time we come to Sarasota.
