Deb, thank you and we look forward to hosting you next year.
My husband and I stayed at this condo for 5 weeks. It had all the comforts of home plus a spectacular view of the lake and golf course. It was fun watching all the different types of birds.
I was sad to leave and could have easily spent another 5 weeks.
I highly recommend this property.
The owners were readily available via email or phone.

Thank you Judy and Mike. We would love to have you back.

We enjoyed staying here. Aside from one crotchety old fart unwilling to share the nearby pool without openly griping about tourists, we had a great stay. Hosts were very accomodating, security was done well, and the view from the lanai was great. Didn't see the gator in the lake, but did see one in another nearby. Another guest there said he saw a panther run across a nearby golf course - pretty cool!

We apologize for the grumpy old man. We have had nothing but warm welcomes from everyone when we stay there. From our experience, this is an exception in the River Strand community.
Thank you , Chris, for the great review.
Property was excellent. Took advantage of all that River Stand had to offer. Owner was the best. Made the use of the condo easy. Laid everything out. Met new friends there. We were there thru 2 hurricanes. lol. Would totally recommend!!
Geordie was responsive at all times! Not that we really needed him, as the condo. was is perfect order. Loved being on the first floor with the pond off of the lanai! It was soooo quiet, you could hear a pin drop. The only sound that could be heard were the sounds of the beautiful bird life in and around the water!
