Experienced Florida at its very best staying at this property.All the comforts of home were promised & were delivered. Can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our three month stay at Bart and Linda’s condo. Their place is well furnished, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to cook our favorite meals. We loved the lanai that overlooks the golf course and Manatee River, and we spent many hours enjoying the view. We also enjoyed the amenities at River Strand, including golf, pools, and fitness centers. We love the location, being close to great shopping, restaurants, and the Gulf Coast beaches. Bart was very responsive with any questions or issues that we had during our stay. We look forward to coming back next year.
This was our 2nd stay at this beautiful 4th floor condo at River Strand. Just the right distance from the elevator. Being on the top floor, you don't have furniture moving and footsteps above you. Very quiet. A large storage room offers beach equipment, 2 bikes and room for your items. Nicely furnished throughout including kitchen appliances. The lanai is screened to watch the golfers hit many an errant shot into the pond below. Birds of all varieties share the pond. There two River Strand satellite pools within walking distance. We enjoyed the endless bike paths within the River Strand complex. Too bad the 3 months at this wonderful condo had to come to an end.
Bart and Karen thought of everything when designing and stocking this awesome condo. The pictures do not do it justice as the views are spectacular from the top floor overlooking the golf course and Manatee River. Everything from beach chairs to bicycles to coolers were provided to make our two month stay perfect!

A+ unit with more household gadgets than 98% of all american homes
2018 was our second straight year staying at this unit, an was probably better than 2017 since we knew our way around the total area including Sarasota. There are not enough words in my vocabulary to describe how wonderful this place is, and the same goes for the ownership and management team. In baseball terms, a grand slam home run, truly a 5-STAR gem.

Spring time in Bradenton
We loved our stay in Bradenton at River Strand with the highlight far and away at the Francis' unit on the fourth floor. The condo unit was A+++ with every possible need around the house tucked away somewhere, the ammentities were amazing, more than 98% of all the households in the USA I'd bet. But that was not the best thing about the unit, THE VIEW is. My significant other told me that all she wanted was a view, well she got one in SPADES. The view is killer and she would spend maybe 5 hours every day from coffee in the morning to a glass of wine at night relaxing with her books and electronic toys looking for the Gator in the huge pond out back to the ALL WORLD sunset in the evening This unit being on the fourth floor truly makes it all happen.

Beautiful condo. Well furnished and completely equipped!
River Strand is a wonderful community all amenities are first class. We stayed for a month at the unit owned by Bart and Karen Francis. The rental process was easy. Questions were answered promptly, completely and satisfactorily. All instructions, required information and directions were provided well before our trip began. The condo is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The condo is equipped with everything we needed and more. The view from this fourth floor unit is awesome. We hope to return next year!

About the host
Hosted by Bart and Karen Francis
My wife and I were looking for the perfect winter getaway from the Northern Alberta winters and have always loved Florida
Why they chose this property
We searched all along the West coast of Florida and fell in love with the resort feel of Riverstrand. Its proximity to so many fantastic beaches, shopping, points of interest added to the allure.
What makes this property unique
The first time you watch the sunset over the Mantee River from the 4th floor Lanai will have you wishing you lived here full time. The next best time is your morning coffee watching the sunrise.
