"Jane at the Tamiami Trail Sarasota Life Storage has been an invaluable help to us over the last few years. Jane is a wonderful employee. Thank you Jane"
"Jane is great! She helped us set up. I moved from Az and she let me know to use products to keep clothes fresh and good locks. Very clean place and easy to navigate"
"Having had to move from New York to Sarasota SUDDENLY, the staff at Life Storage helped me in EVERY part of my storage transition with friendly service, courteous, knowledgeable staff, and ease of access to the clean and climate controlled building. They helped accommodate my POD and my family coming and going. I’m grateful."
"Lady at the desk Jane is really nice and helpful she is the store manager and also really nice and helped me set up everything really easy and fast also"
"We received first class service here. Although it meant some administrative work for them, they changed our unit to a better one that met our needs with a smile. Jane is the manager and is awesome. She continues to really help clients get the right storage that they need at the best possible price."
"Helping move my friend's stuff into storage this week has been hectic. But the folks at Life Storage have been incredibly helpful and the facility is exceptionally clean accessible."
"This store is extremely clean compared to other places I’ve been to would highly recommend.
The two employees working where very kind and extremely professional!"
"Denise was so pleasant & helpful & answered all my questions regarding my final payment & when I needed to be out of my storage unit. If I need another storage company to rent from I will definitely use life storage in the future."
"Relocated to a larger storage unit today. Denise in the front office was patient, professional and extremely helpful to me during this process. Painless process!!"
"We had the pleasure of working with Jane. She was incredibly helpful and informing. The unit was very clean and I’m very happy I chose this storage facility!"
"Great experience setting up a new storage unit for the first time! Very friendly and helpful staff that showed me the space of the unit and answered all of my questions."
"My overall experience was A+. The employee was very helpful. And she went above and beyond for me to get a unit. I would recommend this location to anybody and everybody."
"My friend has been having difficulty working with life storage and they will not work out a deal with her. This is a very corporate company that doesn’t communicate well with customers and has rules that hold the employees hostage so they aren’t allowed to negotiate final charges. She is elderly and I see them taking advantage of her and not willing to work it out with her. Very upsetting to see this transpire!"
"I live out of state and had an emergency situation with a relative in Sarasota. Ted and Carl helped me out to find last minute storage and a mover. They were very accommodating and great to work with."
"Ted & Carl we’re especially supportive during my moving and storage angst! They were exceptionally patient and gracious in helping me attain the space I needed!"
"Amazing, amazing, amazing experience!!! Carl is an amazing person!! and has such an amazing personality!!! Made our transition so smooth and so easy! I cannot thank him enough!"
"Fantastic service from start to finish. As soon as we walked in the door Carl gave us excellent customer service. The facility is well maintained and clean. I like everything about this location."
"I needed storage and explored many options along Tamiami trail. I felt that Life Storage stood out above all the others (location, convenience, cleanliness, security, parking under roof, price). Both Ted and Carl went out of their way to help me. Very professional and courteous. Highly recommend this facility."
"This facility is an excellent location and very secure. Ted the onsite manager was more than helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Life storage deffinately has done their homework when hiring him."
"Professional, helpful, excellent location. Very happy with the device and the unit. They building is clean, well lit. Dollies are at the front entrance. Very user friendly."
"My husband and I recently moved to Sarasota and we are downsizing from a single family home to an apartment. We plan on staying in the apartment until we know the area and are ready to buy. We needed a large storage unit with enough space to hold our furniture and other items that we won't be using for the next year. Ted worked with us to reserve the right size units (we needed two) and to make sure that our movers would be able to access the property to deliver our things. At one point, it looked like we might even need a third unit and Ted worked with us on that. In short, Ted worked through problems, was patient and found solutions for us. We could not be happier with Life Storage and with Ted's help. The units are clean and access is easy."
".This is the first time using a storage facility. The gentleman that was there was so helpful. I believe his name was Ted. Explained everything in great detail and answered all my questions. If I ever need another storage room I will return to this one."
"I'm trying to carve out an open air studio space in my garage. Ted helped me find the unit to best serve my needs. He was very friendly and helpful. I am excited to get started!"
"I've been a customer at this Extra Space Storage facility for over a year, having taken out a large ground floor storage unit to help make clearing out our old three-story home and downsizing quicker and easier.
Now that a year has passed, it was time to sell, organize and donate the contents and downsize to a smaller and more affordable unit. Staffer Sarah was extremely helpful in locating a better unit within the building for us at a good price, and coordinating our timing so that we could do the contents transition without disrupting the facility or the other users.
All in all a great storage experience, as much as one can celebrate a storage experience....
Thanks Sarah and Extra Space Storage!"
"Amazing staff! Super friendly, extremely helpful. Had what I was looking for and more. Very timely with everything, more than willing to help out, answer questions and refer movers. I was able to leave feeling without a doubt more than comfortable with renting a unit with them. Brand new building and VERY CLEAN! I'd refer them to everyone I know whos in need of a storage unit in Sarasota. Sarah McBee and Sarah Barritt Crawford were awesome!! Huge help and really reassuring during a stressful time."
"today I moved from one space to another and Trish (a site manager at Englewood) was instrumental in helping implement that change... her tone and manner was outstanding and her professionalism and consideration was fantastic! really greatful my storage has such good associates!
Also previous to Trish's help the other day, I have been professionally assisted by Sarah (Mgr) on multiple occasions which simply enhances the recognition of the quality of the associates at Extra Space Storage. I have been a satisfied customer for many years now and i applaud their people."
"The staff here is awesome and go out of their way to make the storage experience as painless as possible! Clean, professional! Excellent units! I have been here a year and will come back when I need to!"
"I am currently residing in Spain and needed storage space quickly (2days)! The service , professionalism, communication and follow up was outstanding! Actually perfect, considering I was dealing with a 6 hour time difference and all communication was text, email and even a follow up phone call by them! Sarah was amazing! Highly recommend!!"
"Great place to keep your stuff! We’ve had three different units over the years upsizing and downsizing. Always clean and cool. Everyone there is very helpful as well. Definitely recommend"
"Recently won a storage unit at this facility, & what a great experience & atmosphere. Sara was a true delight and was beyond accommodating. All my questions were answered & she dropped some knowledge on me too. A+
I absolutely suggest this Extra Space Storage Location and would recommend asking for Sara.
She was a true delight
Thanks again"
