The Strand sits along Whitaker Bayou, which connects into Sarasota Bay and onward to the Gulf. I’d phrase it this way in the MLS description: Welcome to The Strand of Sarasota, where resort-style waterfront living meets an exceptional Sarasota location. Unit B210 offers a desirable and more private setting overlooking the beautifully maintained gardens, while still providing views of the resort-style pool, fitness center, and spa. Its location offers the benefit of enjoying the community amenities without the heavier foot traffic often associated with residences directly facing the main amenity areas. Inside, this well-maintained condo features a comfortable and inviting layout ideal for a full-time residence, seasonal Sarasota retreat, or investment property. The unit has also established an impressive track record as a short-term rental and has earned Guest Favorite recognition on short-term rental platforms, with an outstanding average guest rating of 4.95 out of 5 stars. This strong guest history highlights the property's appeal to Sarasota visitors and vacation renters.
