We rented for three years from Big Jim's, Lakewood Ranch in hope of making Florida our home. We…read morenever did move so decided to donate items. I originally went to unit on 5/7 and talked to Gracie, she said Sharon will be back on Monday 5/11 and will call me. I didn't hear from her so on Monday around noon I called her. Sharon (Manager) SAID NO ONE TAKES BEDS AND THERE IS A 350.00 DUMPING FEE. She wanted me to sign abandoned paperwork on the unit. Guess what I found a Charity and they came and took everything on 5/19. My billing went from 5/15-6/14, and they charged me my monthly rate of 158.00.(3 days) Over 3 years Big Jims has made a small fortune off of us $5688.00. but still took their 158.00. I tried reaching out to their Corporate office listed in SARASOTA FLORIDA, 941) 379-8470 (Primary Corporate & Sarasota Line) phone number disconnected. Good Luck people, Shame on Big Jims! Thank you Donna C

There's a guy in the office waving to us who won't come to the door. If they don't have a bypass on that gate for when the electric goes out then they are idiots. This is Florida and the wind knocks the electric out all the time so I have to rent a truck on a different day and pay more money? I took today off and I have to be out of my apt Sunday and could be charged more money if I'm not. In other words these people are costing me hundreds of dollars. Don't rent here they hold your stuff hostage for ridiculous reasons. There is zero reason that I could not access my unit today. I called the corporate office and they were not helpful.

I will be renting an additional unit soon!

What a rare spotless jewel here in Sarasota! We truly know storage, how to analyze-find quality…read morestorage for we had storage outside Boston 4 years, fifteen years ago and South of Minneapolis in Burnsville, Mn for 18 years/ just moved all 6000 cu ft to St Michael north of Minneapolis end May. Joe's family has owned this property for 22 years. Family owned storage facilities are the VERY best especially if professionally impeccably run like Sawyer. I rented from Public storage until this year in Minnesota - - they raised my rent 50 % in May to $1500 a month for 2 thirty foot deep temp controlled units after being a loyal customer for 18 years!!! 4 years ago the top middle and local management throughout Public Storage that had worked for years, suddenly ALL quit in 2-3 months, and then rental rates sky rocketed each year. This is happening nationally with all giant corporate storage companies! I now will ONLY use top quality local regional family owned storage companies. This facility originally was an ice skating rink then a post office. They retrofitted it into a spotless, perfectly lit, very very well air conditioned/ fully temperature controlled medium sized facility. The front door slim door mounted security key pad is very easy to use. We have been coming to Sarasota visiting in-laws for 35 years and never knew this building and street existed. It is very nicely tucked away hidden off two quiet small roads. Security outside and inside are excellent and someone is in the office/ facility daily 9-5, saturdays 9-12. I feel 100 % secure here coming solo ( over age 70). Location is excellent if you live in Osprey, Sarasota, Siesta Key, Downtown Sarasota and worth the drive if you live in Longboat Key. Enjoy!

I went there all hours and always felt safe. Great value compared to some other places I called around town too!!

Susan, the office manager, was most pleasant and accommodating to deal with.
