Thank you for your review, Danielle. We would have been happy to assist with the TV during your stay had we known there was an issue. As for the nearby construction, unfortunately that is beyond our control. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best on your future travels.
This was our second stay in this unit - it is great! It's very clean and it has everything you need for your stay. Property manager is very responsive and helpful. We would stay here again

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your second stay and found the unit clean and well-equipped. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
This place has incredible balcony views of the harbor and plenty of excellent home accessories, so it has it all when you go to the beach or cook a meal. Very clean.

We stayed at this property recently and found the location and overall complex to be excellent. The unit itself has great potential, and we initially expected to return in the future. Unfortunately, several serious issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and management response made that unlikely.Cleanliness was a major concern. The floors and windows appeared not to have been properly cleaned—after crawling around, our baby’s hands, knees, and feet were visibly dirty. When I wiped up a small amount of water on the bathroom floor with a white towel, it came away extremely dirty. We also found used sheets from a previous guest left in a hamper, which was unacceptable.There were also multiple maintenance issues. The TV in the master bedroom did not work, which was disappointing as this was something we specifically expected when booking. We reported it, but no resolution was provided beyond saying the owner had been contacted. Additionally, the master bedroom shades were not functioning, a kitchen outlet didn’t work, and another outlet had a loose or missing cover—posing a safety concern, especially with a young child.Most concerning, our five-year-old found marijuana on the balcony. This is completely unacceptable and raised serious concerns about safety and oversight.Overall, while the property itself is in a great location, the lack of cleanliness, maintenance, and meaningful response from management made this a disappointing stay.

Thank you for your feedback. We were disappointed to read your comments, as the property is professionally cleaned and inspected prior to each guest’s arrival. Cleanliness and guest comfort are extremely important to us, and we take all concerns seriously.
We do wish these issues had been brought to our attention sooner, as they were only reported four days after your arrival. Once notified, we immediately offered to come to the property to address and resolve the concerns; however, we were unfortunately not given the opportunity to do so. We always strive to make things right for our guests whenever an issue is reported during their stay.
Regarding the TV and blinds remote, the TV was replaced following your departure, and the blinds remote was confirmed to be in proper working order.
We also understand your concern regarding the marijuana found on the balcony. The balcony was thoroughly inspected prior to your arrival, and nothing was found at that time. While we cannot confirm how it got there, it may have come from a neighboring unit above. We have since informed the HOA, as this is unacceptable. Please know this was never intentionally left on the property.
We take pride in providing accurate listings, responsive communication, and positive guest experiences. We appreciate all feedback and will continue working hard to provide excellent stays for future guests.
Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean with a nice kitchen and accessories. The pool and work out space are accessible and not overly busy. Communication with the property manager was prompt and helpful. We would definitely return to this property.
Phenomenal condo with every modern amenity. Great pool and sitting area. Full fitness center. Indoor parking. Dog park. Our unit overlooked the bayou where we saw manatees and birdlife. Full time residents were very nice.Not much that you could walk to, but downtown was only a mile south and Publix was about 3/4 mile away.

This is a very beautiful condo. Only 2 little remarks:1. The light in the living area is not adequate. It is very dark.2. Having a few real *small" coffee spoons would be nice,

Thank you so much for your kind words about the condo! We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve.
Regarding the lighting and the coffee spoons, we would have been more than happy to address this for you during your stay if we had known. Our goal is always to provide a 5-star experience, and we’re always here to help make your visit as comfortable as possible.
We wish you all the best in your future travels!
We enjoyed our stay at The Strand. It was close to downtown and the beaches. There were a lot of extra touches in the condo (beach/pool towels, beach chairs, etc.) that we appreciated. The unit was very clean and stylish. The only downside was the modern furniture, while super cute, wasn't overly comfortable (mostly the bed). But we did enjoy everything else. We would recommend to other guests.
