This is our home away from home. Everything from the cleanliness of the unit, to the detailed decorating makes you feel at home. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. The grounds are beautiful and the amenities are great. We will continue to return whenever we can as my kids call this their 2nd home.

It was magical! The beach was beautiful, the condo was clean and spacious with an unbelievably gorgeous view of the ocean, and the ocean was clear and perfect for swimming and paddle boarding. It was an absolutely delightful vacation spot!

This unit had perfect ocean view and appointed with everything you needed and more. Sand Cay is the best place to stay on Longboat, as it does not have a stale and bland hotel feel. The private beach is exponentially less crowded than that of the neighbor beaches. We drove up and dowm longboat and Anna Maria and won't stay anywhere else next time but this unit at sand cay

The beach is absolutely wonderful! We loved that the beach is just a few steps from our door. We really liked the view of the beach from the kitchen as you’re preparing food and cleaning the dishes. The property is a little older, but everything was up to date and looked very nice. The free laundry was a bonus as well as the umbrealls, chairs, and sand toys. Loved our stay!

This was our third vacation stay at Sand Cay and I wouldn't stay anywhere else. We were in unit 217, and it was exactly as pictured! The unit was clean and fully stocked with everythig we needed and more and the view was spectacular! The staff was amazing and very helpful. Some must do things to experience are Fun Boat Tours Dolphins and Donuts (Anna Maria), Lynch's Pub and Venezia Italian restaurant in St. Armand's Circle, and the Salty Dog in Siesta Key.

Overall we enjoyed our recent visit to LBK & Sand Cay Resort.However, Unit #217 has several repairs that the owners need to done.1) Master Shower - water leaks everywhere; the curb is slanted the wrong way; there is an apparent leak under the shower as evidenced by floor tile starting to bubble up. The vertical plastic strip on shower door needs replaced. The molding along the base is showing signs of decay. An overall update is highly recommended. Makeup mirror needs to be secured.2) Master closet door came off hinges.I would recommend Sand Cay, but not Unit 217 (until it's updated).3) Ants found in bathrooms & kitchen.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Incredible view!!!!!, beautiful grounds and staff were very pleasant.
Unfortunately, the units do NOT have a washer and dryer within the unit - they are located at the front of the complex (by check in) for all units to use - free of charge, but very inconvenient when this unit was closest to the ocean. Trying to dry wet towels every day was a chore. The dishwahser was also NOT working - turned on - just doesn't clean the dishes- soap left on them even after several cycles. Beds could probably use new matteras, extremely soft. ...BUT YOU CAN'T beat the location and view!

We have been visiting LBK frequently for 2-to-4 weeks' visits.
This time it as the best as we had superior acccommodations; the weather
was perfect. The beach was better than we had remembered. The food and service was even better than usual. And it was great to visit LBK
after three years. We already have a 2-week reservation at the same accommodations as we enjoyed this time. Its also a wonderful change
from living in the southern California desert even though we love the desert!

If you want sun, white sand beaches with a quieter, more residential feel this is the place for you. Some of the best golf front views from balcony and living room. Enjoy spectacular sun sets from the unit or down on the beach with old and new friends. Lots of windows, full kitchen with updated appliances. Only changes we could suggest is some new pots/pans and maybe a new couch (the current one is "well lived"). Lots of amenities to experience and enjoy at Sand Cay and a short drive to great dining and shopping. The perfect unit in a great location to unwind and relax.

The friendliness of the staff was excellent and the location of the unit couldn't be better. Beautiful views of the Gulf from the living room bay window, kitchen and patio. The master bedroom bed was worn and should be replaced, and the bathrooms were way too small. The floors throughout the unit were uneven. Definitely needs work. Too expensive for that unit. I realize it's the location you pay for.

The feel of owning a place on the beach, no tourist tower and congested areas, no "saving chairs" by the pool, etc. Do your own cooking an enjoy the view. This unit is as pictured, a wonderful oceanfront view from the balcony, kitchen, and family room. Was perfect for our small family (2 Adults, 2 Kids).

We liked most everything about the unit, especially the deck and views.
The fans in every room were a bonus. Great kitchen as well.
The weakest part of the unit was the bathrooms-- they were extremely small and cramped to the point that we are looking at alternatives on our next trip back to Longboat this fall.

Great view of the ocean from the unit! Good space for 2-4 people. Nice to have 2 bathrooms and the unit was very clean. Nice location on the beach for walking and collecting shells. I would return for sure.
