My family and I have enjoyed staying at Sand Cay several times but have missed a few summers due to COVID, work etc. This trip was great, my daughter teared up when we first arrived because she had missed out trips to LBK. It was a great stay.

Yes, this is an older complex and not the fanciest. BUT everything is well-maintained and clean, the grounds are lovely and the beach is great with lots of chairs available for guests. The manager was super and was clearly familiar with all units and everything going on at the property. Our group made use of the beachside grilling area where there was plenty of seating for our group of 15.We liked the location near the northern end of the key, close to Harry's, the Lazy Lobster, and not far from Publix. A nice place to stay!

Reviewer Comments:
Unit was clean but needed some repairs. Cracks in drywall, shower drain backed up and showed signs of leaking before. Bathrooms were tiny, would have better served using up some wasted space in living area for them. Management was not interested in discussing a late check out at all. Beach is really nice and it's a quiet area. But nothing in walking distance if you want some food or live music.

Carole Cousin and I, Mary Moran, and our husbands stayed in unit 311. The kitchen was updated and had everything we need. However, the beds in the smaller bedroom were abysmal — the mattresses were worn and did not stay on the frame — slipped off. We could not use the closet as bed was up against the door. Unit needs to be painted—especially bathrooms.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sand Cay Resort. Unit 311 was nice. The beach is so close to the resort and it was so great to walk there each day. We loved the amenities at the resort as well! We enjoyed playing pickleball, shuffleboard, using the heated pool and having access to many other games. The staff at Sand Cay are top notch and so nice! We very much enjoyed our winter getaway and will be back.

Sand Cay is the perfect spot for your longboat key vacation, and unit 311 was phenomenal. Clean and comfortable, very well appointed, and plenty of beach gear available to use! We visit Sand Cay Several times a year and this is our new go to spot. The management company on site is absolutely phenomenal.
4.0
The condo was nice and accurate to the listing description. The beachfront property was gorgeous and very convenient. We appreciated the beach supplies provided inside the condo as well (chairs, umbrellas, toys etc.) We weren't happy to arrive to some trash and food left out around the condo however, though management easily waved the cleaning fee for us. I do have to say that for the price, the mattresses and pillows are not comfortable. The rest of the condo was quite nice however.

Great stay
This is our first stay at sand cay. We normally stay at another condo but they were booked. This property was comparable in price and location. The room was clean and comfortable for our family. The mattress in the master was a little thin and uncomfortable is my only complaint about the room. The pool on the property could have stood a better cleaning. Water was a little cloudy. This location was great and we would stay here again.

The Sand Cay was a great place to stay. The pool was great and the path to the beach was quick and took about 5 mins to walk from our condo to the beach. 311 was very clean and had everything you would need. Beach towels, a couple of chairs, umbrella and the kitchen well equipped. We spent all day at beach then went up to eat then hit the pool. It was not crowded at all. Check out the beach cam and see. Our condo had view of the pool. Front office people were very nice. I would stay again.

I'm so grateful to have found Sand Cay Beach Resort for our vacation. The condo was very clean and comfortable. Resort grounds are amazing and resort staff were so helpful if we had any questions or concerns. 5 stars all around. I can't wait to come back, and my husband and I both agree that we would pick 311 again.

The rental of this property was very easy and efficient. The office managers were very responsive and friendly. We lived in this unit for 2 months. and loved every minute of our stay.
The condo itself was perfect. I read some unfavorable old reviews but totally disagree. This unit has been beautifully redone with new appliances, floor, furniture, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed.
I recommend Sand Cay and Unit 311 for a perfect vacation.

What we liked: dining/breakfast area with windows, spacious entry with nook to hang hats/towels/shoes, and open concept renovated/beach feel living room. Location. Pool. Free community ice maker. Landscaping/grounds. Chairs/coolers/beach items in storage closet.
Where things fell short: water stains on ceilings, nail holes and marks on walls where things used to hang, dated/cheap kitchen, kitchen sink faucet that you had to muscle to turn on and no spray nozzle, splatter on kitchen cabinets/walls that hadn't been wiped down, old stove and dishwasher, minimal kitchen accessories (more prep bowls, corning ware, etc.), small toilets, very dated and small bathrooms, tubs/doors in showers not clean and showing rust/mold on doors/caulking, broken blind on patio door lying behind tv stand, no gas grills and charcoal community grills are in full sun, no ceiling fans, DVD is not blue ray, old stained light switches, no washer and dryer in the unit (community washer/dryers), only get 2 garbage bags and 2 dish pods for 7 days, no towel exchange (beach towels were sour after 7 days). We were vacationing during the red tide. I understand their is not much Sand Cay can do about the tide but my biggest criticism is that you do have management control over the beach area. Only after people complained was their a single clean up of the piles of dead fish and maggots on the beach. I only saw this once in the 7 days we stayed. We avoided using the beach area in front of Sand Cay. We instead visited family a few resorts down who cleaned their beach every single morning. Our family paid the same per night for a completely renovated condo at a different condo complex. I was not dissatisfied with our unit but I think their are nicer places for the same money. This unit has so much potential but owner is not putting money into it. I had greater expectations for what we paid.

So so condo
Common areas were nice. Bathrooms need to be updated - old and not super clean. Mattresses in both bedrooms were uncomfortable.

Great location, private beach, nice sized pool, tennis court, and close enough to everything we needed or wanted to do, but far enough away to have the peace and quiet we needed and wanted as well. Great family vacation. Everything was clean and updated. They don't make them like this anymore. Sunsets were incredible every night. And bring charcoal if you like to grill, they have 3 communal grills that look out on the beach and gulf.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Sand Cay 311. It looked exactly as the pictures depict and was perfect for our family of four with two small children. I was almost turned off staying here by one 1-star review— I’m so glad I listened to the 5-star reviews— it was lovely. Fairly dated but the main living areas are so cute and beachy! We loved being steps from the ocean and the pool. Town was just a short scenic drive away. We hope to be back soon!
