Hi Aretha
we had a great time in River Strand playing an excellent golf course and living in your very nice, comfortable and well-maintained condo. Very good restaurants are close and the beautiful Gulf beaches reachable within a 30 min. drive. We can highly recommend your condo to friends. With warm regards, susanne+willi from Switzerland.

Susanne and Willi were delightful guests. We would be pleased to have them return when their plans bring them back to this area.
Easy access, well equipped. Had everything that I needed. Furniture placement could be rearranged, bar stools in dining area cumbersome. Kitchen table and chairs made the kitchen feel small when I had guests. Generally a good place to stay.
Arletha and her husband were very responsive when we needed to get things done. We stayed three months and it went very smoothly. The condo has a great view and comfortable bed in the primary room.
Our stay at River Strand was exceptional. The owners were so accommodating, respectful of our privacy and prompt on any issues that arose. We could not have found hosts more gracious and kind. The unit was equipped with everything you could need, spacious and a beautiful view. Completely quite with kind neighbors. Thank you both for allowing us to occupy your home during our stay in Florida.

Thank you for your kind remarks. It was a pleasure having you as guests. All the best to both of you. Stay well.
We arrived just before coronavirus crisis and enjoyed River Strand and Bardenton in their normal way which is very good. River Strand managed government coronavirus mandates by closing operations, but kept golf open. Between golf and nice walks we were able to enjoy our stay inspite of the crisis. We'll likely return someday.
River Strand is a great vacation spot if you like to play golf and want a convenient location to the Tampa/Bradenton/Sarasota area. Condo is exactly as shown in pictures. Nicely furnished, well stocked for a long stay and comfortable. Condo is right for two or four adults. Community is geared towards adults but we did see some kids by the pool. Owners were terrific and very responsive to any issues. Condo is on the third floor but an assigned covered parking space is close to the elevator.

Thank you for selecting our condo and for the feedback. Loved having you as guests. You are model renters and welcomed back anytime. Take care!!
Cannot sing the praises enough from the wonderful owners to the cleanliness, to the location. We were on the third floor but the elevator was right there which was important because my husband has mobility issues. The condo had pots, pans, utensils, towels, sheets everything you might need.

Great location, very comfortable
We stayed in this condo for 17 days and was very at home form the time we walked in the door. Clean, tastefully decorated, wonderful location. The area pool was more than enough for us, very social around the pool, most people were our age and just there to relax and unwind. Location was perfect to lots of amenities and shopping was right on the doorstep (Ellenton outlet less than 10 minutes away, UTC 15 minutes away).
