We had a great stay for our long weekend vacation. The condo is nice, well stocked, and comfortable. Nice view of the golf course with a screened in balcony is a plus as well as the community pool! Anthony is a great host who was always available to answer any questions I had or address any concerns.
Just a weekend stay to visit family in the area. Everything was just as described. Perfect area close to shopping. Quiet and safe community. Would definitely stay again.
The property was immaculately clean, and the furniture was very comfortable. The balcony view of the golf course and the wildlife in the pond were fun to watch. Will definitely stay here again.

Hi Barry and Linda,
It was a great pleasure hosting you at my vacation rental. You are welcome to stay anytime, you really left my unit the way you found it. Hope you think of me for your next visit to Bradenton Fl
Such a nice condo and a fun location! Loved seeing all the wildlife from the balcony. Unfortunately our stay was too quick and we were busy so couldn’t enjoy the clubhouse and amenities but would definitely stay again when in the area. Thank you!

Very nice condo. The only thing that was awkward was getting through the gate attendants. One expressed that he didn’t like guests being allowed to use condos but other than that it was great. Thank you

Thanks for the positive review. We’re glad you’ve enjoyed your time
The property is located with easy access to main roads in the area. The furniture is comfortable, and the apartment location is very quiet. Being on a golf course it was fun to watch the golfers, and there is a large pond with wildlife to watch.

Comfortable condo with a great view
The condo is clean and comfortable with a lovely view of the golf course and pond. The balcony is a lovely spot to enjoy meals and watch the golfers. River Strand offers many amenities. There are many beaches close by and lots to see and do. We are repeat renters of this property.

Great condo and great location. Unit was very clean and well prepared for us. Owner was fabulous to work with and very accessible. All the information related to the unit and area was provided in a clear/concise format at check-in. Resort had all the amenities we were looking for, golf pickleball cycling restaurants tiki bar and lots of pools! River Strand is a beautiful resort, highly recommend!

Hi Dan,
You were great guest to deal with and took great care of the unit. We hope you return to River Strand soon.
Everything at the condo was great once I got checked Needed more info. But I think there was a computer glitch.
Was there for a funeral so didn't get to use any of the amenities but it was a beautiful property.

Excellent experience! Hospitality was outstanding. Coffee maker broke day 2, and a new one was delivered to the door by day 5. Could use some comfortable Lanai furniture. The location was fantastic. The only downfall to the complex is the lack of any community BBQ’s.

Hi Mike,
I appreciate the review and your comments. I will look into adding furniture to the Lanai. You’ll be pleased to hear there will be some renovations happening to the club and community and one of them is a grilling area for residents and visitors to bbq. Hope to see you in the near future
This property was as described. It was impeccably clean and tidy with a well equipped kitchen to meet all your needs for a short or long term stay. The host Antonio was incredibly responsive and ensured our stay was a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend this property. We enjoyed quiet mornings drinking coffee on the patio looking out at the golf course towards the Manatee River. The location is close to many attractions and beaches. Just a side note, Google maps will likely take you to a residents only gate entrance, just follow the signage to check in at the security gate about a mile down the road. Upon checking in at security I would suggest asking the security member for a printed “pass”. It makes coming and going a little easier as they will simply scan your pass upon passing through the guest lane of the security gate. It was great to finally deal with a professional host. Thank you Antonio!
River Strand is a very friendly active community, with multiple swimming pools and restaurants. The golf courses are in very good condition. There are many other activities, including tennis, pickle ball, bingo, and karaoke. This condo overlooks a pond owith active wildlife, the 8th hole on the Sanctury golf course, and, in the distance, the Manatee River. The condo is in very good condition and generally very quiet. Our only problem was the remote controls on the living room TV.

River Strand Vacation
This was our third year at this condo and it gets better every year. The condo is spacious and clean. It is well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The lanai is a great place to unwind after a round of golf while watching other golfers tee off. The condo is well situated for a short bike ride to a number of pools and the gym. The golf course is well maintained and challenging. Everywhere we went we were greeted with a “hi” or a wave. People and staff are all very friendly and accommodating. River Strand is a great place to stay. It is close to shopping and the outlet mall. We would recommend anyone to stay here for an enjoyable time.
The three of us spent two nights here. The unit was clean and well stocked with dishes and cooking pans, however, we did not cook in the room. We were basically there to sleep. The view out the balcony is lovely looking over a large pond with native birds. The neighborhood was quiet while we were there. We were a little surprised to find that there was no bath soap or tissues in the unit, and these are things that we have come to expect in the rentals we have booked previously. The unit itself is several minutes away from any grocery store or restaurants. I think it would be helpful if the owner supplied some local shopping /dining info within the unit itself. From the time when I was looking for a place, through the initial night of our stay, communication with the owner was typically prompt.

Hi Bob,
We supply the basic needs? I call it a starter kit to help you get through a couple days but to honour your suggestion, we will now start incorporating shampoo/conditioner, body wash. Thank you for your feedback
From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed. The condo was immaculate and decorated as per pics online. The swimming pool was prestine and we seemed to have it to ourselves the whole week. We took advantage of stocking up on food and wine at Walmart (5 mins away) and we visited both Bradenton Beach and Siesta Keys. The only down side was we had no beach equipment so we regretted that we didn't get the landlord to put a few things from his storage locker into the condo fornuae at the beach. Buying towels and chairs and coolers for one time use seemed so wasteful. The beds were super comfy and we couldn't seem to get past 10pm before falling asleep for the night. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for privacy and a relaxing stay.

Outstanding Condo and Facilities. A great place to vacation.
Renting takes a leap of faith and we were not disappointed. The condo is tastefully decorated, clean and well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary dishes and cookware. The balcony overlooking the 8th hole become our favorite place to enjoy a meal. The view of the golf course is breathtaking with lots of wildlife. The amenities at River Strand are excellent. The golf course is well maintained with a variety of tee boxes for all skill levels. The fitness facilities and pools are outstanding. The condo is in close proximity to shopping and dining with several beaches a short drive away. The owner kept us informed of all activities going on at the golf course, club house and River Strand which was greatly appreciated. He was particularly responsive to all our questions as we got familiar with the area. A great way to spend a vacation.
Although it was a very nice place and owner responded quickly to issues it did have some issues. Broken kitchen faucet upon arrival. TV had issues connecting, due to placement of box. Most annoying was the key pad for entry, which he could not fix from afar. He finally told us where to find key. Which alleviated aggravation for the last week. Like I said owner did respond quickly however, there seemed to be quite a bit of issues.

Hi David,
There were some unforeseen issues I agree. My cleaner didn’t mention any issue with the faucet, and if she had I would have dealt with prior to your arrivals. The only explanation is that the faucet may have finally let go while you were there. I’m not suggesting you were rough with it or you were the cause for why it broke. It was 10 years old and probably with normal wear and tear finally gave way. I did take immediate action and contracted a plumber to replace with a new faucet the very next day. As for the t.v I didn’t realize that having the entertainment unit doors closed would pose such a problem for the remote to make a connection, If I knew this was an issue I would have mentioned it while trying to trouble shoot on the phone with you. I did take immediate action and called the cable company to come by to diagnose the problem. There was a $50 service fee, which I didn’t mind paying to ensure my guests where comfortable and had t.v. The keypad seemed to be an issue from the beginning however, I thought it was resolved after we both went through the instructions, you even thanked me for my help while on the phone. It wasn’t until later that you mentioned you were still experiencing issues with the door, so in all fairness had I known earlier I would have provided you with a hard copy of the key. I don’t normally give my key for security reasons but under these circumstances there wasn’t a choice.
I’m not going to pretend that things can happen, however I always ensure my guests I’m one text or call away. I’m always available for my guests and take immediate action to resolve any issues if they arise.
I feel our relationship took a slight turn when you had forgotten to checkout at the agreed 10am time which is noted on VRBO checkout and in my lease agreement. My cleaner arrived at 10am and you had forgotten that February 28th was your checkout date. You had asked if I could allow you to checkout a day later, however I had someone checking in the next day, March 1st and my cleaner was booked to clean other customers that day and couldn’t return tomorrow, so making it the only day she could clean my unit. I mentioned that I under different circumstances I would have extended your stay but in this case I couldn’t.
My cleaner said you left the unit clean and where respectful to my property and for this I appreciate you doing. I certainly wish things weren’t this way between us both.
Everything was great. Anthony was always available to answer any questions if needed.

About the host
Hosted by Anthony Barresi
I'Hello and welcome! I'm a true Ottawan, born and raised in the heart of Canada's capital. Alongside my brother, I proudly carry on the legacy of our family's construction company, established in 1980, building a great company name that we're extremely proud of.
I'm blessed to be the husband of my wonderful wife, Maria, and a father to three amazing children—two daughters and a son, aged 16, 14, and 10. Our family shares a love for the thrill of competitive hockey, which not only showcases my kids' talents but also brings us closer together. Balancing time between the rink and our business is no small feat, but it's a life I cherish deeply.
Why they chose this property
It was an obvious choice to invest in the **River Strand community** was like discovering a hidden gem—a place where every detail harmonized to create a symphony of comfort and belonging. These are a few reasons behind my decision:
1. **Scenic Beauty**: The moment we drove into River Strand over a decade ago, the landscape unfolded like a canvas of serenity. The beautifully groomed grounds, the stately trees, and the tranquil lakes whispered a promise of natural beauty. It was as if the environment itself invited you to put down roots here.
2. **Community Warmth**: Beyond aesthetics, it was the people who truly made River Strand special. The warmth and friendliness of the residents embraced you, turning neighbours into friends. In this close-knit community, you found a place where shared smiles and genuine connections mattered.
3. **Amenities Galore**: River Strand didn't just offer a home; it offered a lifestyle. Imagine waking up to a resort-style pool, where sun-kissed mornings met leisurely swims. The Country Club beckoned with elegance, while the two restaurants promised delightful culinary experiences. For the active soul, there is pickleball courts, tennis matches, and fitness classes—a vibrant tapestry of well-being. And let's not forget the 27-hole golf course, where greens and fairways whispered tales of leisurely afternoons.
In River Strand, you discovered more than a property; you found a symphony of living—a place where the notes of nature, community, and recreation blended seamlessly. It's no wonder I'm proud to call it home! 🏡🌳⛳🌟
What makes this property unique
The uniqueness of this property is a testament to the thoughtful integration of architecture and nature's splendor.
1. **Secluded Setting**: The building is perfectly nestled on a quiet back street, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. It's a sanctuary where tranquility reigns supreme.
2. **Golf Course Vista**: The view of the **8th hole** is nothing short of breathtaking. With the forest preserve as its backdrop, the lush greenery and manicured fairways create a picturesque scene right outside your window.
3. **Waterfront Charm**: The presence of a lake alongside the hole adds a reflective beauty to the landscape, enhancing the sense of serenity. And the distant view of the **Manatee River** offers a majestic panorama that captivates the eye.
4. **Wildlife Encounters**: Each morning, as you sit on your lanai sipping coffee, you're treated to a live showcase of nature. The different species of birds, fish, and turtles that visit your view are a daily reminder of the area's rich biodiversity.
5. **Serenity Now**: The essence of serenity is captured in every aspect of your property. It's a place where the harmony of nature's chorus and the quietude of your surroundings converge to create a living experience that is both unique and profoundly calming.
This property is not just a place to live; it's a canvas where nature paints its masterpieces daily. It's a space where serenity isn't just a concept—it's a way of life. 🌳🏞️🦅☕
