I have been a repeat customer at Big Jim Self Storage multiple times since 2019. There are many reasons I keep coming back, including it being a beautiful facility located right here in Lakewood Ranch. It’s the absolute cleanest storage place I’ve ever experienced. Sharron, the Manager, and her staff, always make me feel welcome, going above & beyond to assist customers.
What we thought would be a cumbersome process turned into the easiest 30-minute meeting and handover of keys I could have imagined. Sharron and Robert were such a pleasure, A+ customer service.
Excellent service. Professional. Clean! We have rented many storage units over the years and would recommend Big Jim hands down! Thanks for an excellent experience.
I found Big Jim’s Storage perfect for storing my RV. They have easy access, clean restrooms, and all the staff was very friendly and accommodating
Fabulous facility. Sharron is the best manager ever.
Big Jim has always been great. Staff is extremely friendly. Property is kept spotless.
Very clean facility and the staff was professional.
Look no further for your storage needs. Friendly and professional front office, clean storage units with easy access, very reasonably priced. We rented an exterior, non-climate-controlled unit that we could drive up to. Easy in, easy out. Fantastic place to do business with.
Big Jim’s is terrific to trade with…Sharon is an outstanding manager. Clean, air-conditioned, easy access. We highly recommend!
The team is wonderful to work with! We have rented five different units since 206 all due to life changes! We just finished combining two units and they made it super easy!
Big Jim’s is terrific to trade with…Sharon is an outstanding manager. Clean, air-conditioned, easy access. We highly recommend it!

Outstanding storage facility. All units are very accessible and the facility is immaculate. The staff is professional and gracious. I wholeheartedly recommend Big Jim Self Storage.
Incredible customer service and Sharron worked with me to arrange having my pods dropped off. Their units are clean and I’m looking forward to having my things stored at a place that is both safe and tidy!

Sharron and Jim at Big Jim's Self Storage were great to work with and very responsive in finding the storage units that met my needs when they were nearly at capacity.
Wonderful storage experience. Efficient processes, extremely clean, easy access. Highly recommend Big Jim Self Storage.
I don't usually write reviews; but since I have become a customer of Big Jim Self Storage, I thought I had to give a shout out to their manager, Sharron Turner. What a pleasure to work with. From the moment I steppped into the lobby, she welcomed me with enthusiasm. She was very personable, professional and knowledgeable about the storage units. She found the perfect unit size to fit my needs and was glad to walk me back to show it to me. In a world these day's where it's difficult to find someone who enjoys their job; Sharron Turner is a true treasure. This gal is a keeper.
Sharon was absolutely wonderful in providing me the information I needed to move my stuff to Big Jim's Self Storage. The process was smooth and quick. Environment was extremely clean which is very important to me. I highly recommend.
Sharon was absolutely wonderful and helpful!
Big Jim's Self Storage, and Sharron specifically, was exceptionally accommodating to our dynamic storage requirements as we attempted to purchase a motorcoach in Florida from Virginia. Sharron carefully monitored the status of Big Jim's upcoming storage space and continuously kept us apprised of said space. Her interest in keeping Big Jim's storage spaces occupied coupled with her knowledge of our interest in ensuring storage space for our new coach facilitated the timely movement of our new coach from the seller's location to a secure storage space at Big Jim's Self Storage. It's been a delight to work with Sharron.
Very easy to set up. Sharon knows her stuff.
The rental process was very easy and pleasant, the facility is very clean and easily accessible. The manager was very kind and helpful, she explained the terms of my rental to me clearly. I am very happy with this facility!
I have rented storage for many years and in three different states. Big Jim and their staff are phenomenal! Sharon, Keri Lu, and Robert are great to work with. By far the cleanest and most professional group you could ask for. Thanks for all your help.
Had a great experience with this facility. Exceptionally clean and had a great location.
Big Jim’s Storage is absolutely one of the best storage places we have put our household goods as well as our car. The units are well-maintained and easy to access. We have used other storage companies in the past in this area, however, Big Jim’s is absolutely the best👍
Sharon is a standout employee. She did everything that we needed in a very efficient and friendly way. She is a great face for your business
The team was very professional and accomodating

Got the most excellent customer service from Donna! Very clean facility and we are happy to have a place to store our archery equipment while we are here!
We chose this location due to the proximity of our home. Regardless, the team at this business is beyond professional. They have the old-style way of treating you like a real customer and go above the norm to assist. The business is extremely clean and well-maintained. Both the climate-controlled and basic units are top-notch. They even have a lot of climate-controlled wine rooms for rentals. You won’t be dissatisfied with this business. Thanks!!!
The storage experience here was great and worth the money. It's not the cheapest place, but the facility is clean, climate-controlled, and well-kept. Always good and friendly service from the office people as well.

Very nice people to deal with - very friendly, professional, and courteous - Highly recommended!!
What a great place to store your valuables. I was highly impressed at how nice everything is there as well as the customer service. Thank you for all the help with last-minute storage.
Folks are very helpful and the facility is top-notch.
Great people and great facility! Mom had her stuff here for a year plus before she moved from the area; Arlene was so helpful and kind every step of the way.
Clean, new facility. Very helpful staff. The wine locker space is top shelf. A great self-storage "experience"!
This experience with Big Jim Self Storage has been unbelievable. Starting with a very professional and accommodating staff. To a facility that you can eat off the floors, it was so clean. I love the option to store wine in their own 57 degrees wine room. Staff is always available to answer any questions and just wants to make you feel great. I highly recommend this self storage facility in the Lakewood Ranch area!!!!
I was extremely pleased with my experience with your storage facility. It was very clean and very well managed!
Our experience was 5-star. I would definitely recommend Big Jim Storage to any of my friends!
Cheers. Jim
Excellent facility! Very clean and convenient. The staff is helpful and professional to deal with.

ARLENE WAS THE MANAGER AT THE TIME I WAS THERE. SHE WAS VERY NICE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE OF HER POSITION. THANK YOU, ARLENE, FOR TAKING CARE OF MY NEEDS. ANGEL SANTANA.
My entire experience at Big Jim's storage has been awesome! The folks there are seasoned professionals who remember what customer service is! They totally met all of my expectations. I would highly recommend them! The only reason I left was I found another facility much closer to me, a 6-minute drive
“Immaculate” would be a perfect description ... .. excellent staff.. go out of their way to accommodate your moving needs ..you would not be disappointed in this place .. it was a pleasure... I would give it six stars if you had it.
Super well laid out and super clean with friendly staff.
Excellent storage facility very clean and easy to use. Will most likely store items there again.
Big Jims' stands out as one of the most well run self storage business around Sarasota. I would tell anyone with a need to store anything to utilize them.
The staff is wonderful!! Very appreciative of their help!! We've used this location twice in the last couple of years and have not had an unpleasant experience!! Units are always clean and carts always available for use for unloading and loading!! Thanks so much, Big Jim Storage!!
Big Jim's is fantastic! Great place to store and easy to move in and out, wonderful people.
All good. Even with a 3rd-floor storage unit, it was easy to store our stuff and then remove later when we no longer needed the unit.
Super friendly staff. Access hours were convenient and security seemed solid. We wanted air-conditioned controlled storage and the building was always maintained at the right temps. We had our 10x10 unit for almost 2 years and all in all a great storage facility.
Friendly staff and impeccable customer service.
Excellent friendly staff, clean facility great location. Customer service was top notch.
Due to a recent move which included temporary downsizing we used Big Jim Self Storage. The facility is immaculate and the staff very professional. I recommend Big Jim without hesitation.
Great Location and Customer Service!
I could not have made my move without Big Jim. The staff was great. The building was very clean and I felt very safe. The hours were great. The bathrooms clean. The price was very reasonable.
Easy access to the elevator to go on the 2nd floor, the place is meticulously clean and great management that went beyond to help us drill out the lock as they lost the keys, just a great place to be.
We have used them for many years. They are a very classy operation that I would recommend to anyone.
The facility was immaculate every time I visited. Arlene and the staff were always accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend Big Jim's.
We moved to Florida with close to 90 cases of wine and were lucky enough to find a wine storage facility right around the corner. Clean, secure, and you'll need a jacket when visiting your wine! The staff is incredible. We also have a locker that stores misc items. Clean, clean clean. Very easy for moving trucks to back into the loading area. The movers were impressed with the facility. Highly recommend.
The staff at Big Jim Storage on Garnet Trail in Lakewood Ranch are incredibly helpful and professional. Arlene, the manager really helped with my storage needs for a year till I could settle in my new residence. A big THANK YOU!
Great customer service and very clean. Highly recommend.
Big Jim storage is a great place to store your things, very clean and well run!
Arlene and the rest of the staff at Big Jim Self Storage were incredibly helpful and responded quickly to an emergency self-storage need I encountered. They even called me the next day to assure me everything was safe in my unit as I could not be on-site. Highly recommend!
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean, modern, and secure with sizes to fit anyone's needs, big or small. We had our car and household goods shipped from Hawaii to Big Jim's location in Bradenton, and the staff helped us out with logistics for both, and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. We couldn't help but notice that many customers stopped in to say hello to the staff, they're like family. Gordon and Penny Riddick
Great facility, very clean and very secure!!
Wonderful, caring service. Great location, the units are new and have everything needed to ensure a safe and secure facility for all your storage needs.
Immaculate facility. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff.
Incredible storage facility! My husband and I recently moved to the Lakewood Ranch area and rented a storage unit for three months. Arlene, Donna, and Jim could not have been nicer as well as very helpful and courteous. We were greeted with a smile, and the fresh baked cookies are to die for! The facility itself Is meticulously clean, and contain bathrooms and carts with rollers that make your move very convenient. This was a very positive experience for us, and I recommend this facility for short term or long term storage. Thanks, Bug Jim, for keeping my property clean and safe! Debbie Mack
Outstanding Facility and Personnel.
I stored all of my household furnishings and personal possessions at this Lakewood Ranch location for eight months. As one of the first to move in, I can add to the reviews that when I moved out, everything I stored was in perfect condition. I rented four different units, as needed, at different times. The staff adjusted the billing before the invoice arrived. There was only one glitch in billing, and Arlene fixed it immediately. The facility at move-out was as spotless as when I first moved in. The specials are great, and the location is perfect, close to the post office on SR70. I highly recommend it.
I moved into a 10' X 20' outside unit when Big Jim's first opened. The manager and staff got the paperwork completed quickly. After a few months, I decided to move into a 10' X 20' inside unit. There were no hassles about changing units and I even got the special on both units. Next, I added a small outside unit, then a 5' X 5' inside unit. I experienced great service for every rental. The facility is still new and clean. The elevators still shine and the restrooms are clean. I liked to move my items in the evenings and I NEVER saw anyone roaming around or living in the building. This location is well suited for anyone waiting to build a house in Lakewood Ranch. My belongings have been safe and clean. The manager and staff have always been friendly. I only had one billing blip which was handled professionally. This is by far the best storage facility that I have ever used. I highly recommend this storage facility.
Great service, very clean facility, and friendly staff.
Was here with my friends dropping things off.
Super clean and easy access. Friendly staff.
Clean, friendly, accommodating and reasonably priced. Best experience in storage needs ever.
Great, clean place to store your motor home. Thanks again!
Courteous staff. Clean facility. Excellent experience.
I would have to state unequivocally that out of all of the 9 or 10 storage facilities where I have kept my business vehicles and rented storage units at over the years, Big Jim's in Lakewood Ranch is the best by far in regards to customer service, facilities onsite, cleanliness of the building and units, availability and size of outdoor parking slots and pricing options. The staff from Day One not only was professional, knowledgeable and courteous, but they made me feel welcome as well.The folks at the desk, Arlene, Donna and Jim have all handled my many requests quickly and with good humor...much appreciated from this often busy business person. Two quick points of note...1) I am paying considerably less than what I was paying at past storage facilities, and 2) the cookies on the counter always go over well!...A. W. Bennett @ BMC, Inc.
Although this facility is relatively new as I write this, I can state that I have been totally and favorably impressed with all facets of this storage operation. Having rented parking space and storage units at numerous other storage facilities over the past 28 years in Sarasota and Manatee counties, I have found the Lakewood Ranch site to be topnotch in all regards from customer service to pricing to the cleanliness and quality of the buildings and property. I have had all questions asked answered knowledgeably and all requests handled in a professional and courteous manner. The staff are friendly and take the time to talk with you..Arlene, Donna and Jim are all experienced folks who seem to genuinely enjoy what they do and take alot of pride in their operation and don't mind giving potential customers a guided tour of the place. More businesses could take a que from whomever does the hiring at this place!! And NO, I am not affiliated with Big Jim's in any fashion other than being a renter there...I have been sorely disappointed by vendors in the past who did not deliver on their promises and this place is a breath of fresh air so I greatly appreciate their efforts...count me as a satisfied customer!...Tony Bennett...Lakewood Ranch, Fl.
Super well laid out and super clean with friendly staff.
Best storage facility in the area. Clean, friendly, and safe for storing items while building a house. Great move-n specials.
