Great View! Access to beach was very convenient and private beach area was great. Pool area was very nice. Staff was very friendly and responsive to our needs. Location in the middle of Longboat Key meant we had a 10-15 minute drive to grocery stores and restaurants - only downside.

218 unit - crock roaches from the 1st day in the main room and bathroom in the living room in the 2nd room. We had to sleep in a very bad condition and with pest spray, for the first 3 nights in addition to the septic tank odor inside the main room.Then administration gave us a 2nd apartment with no ocean view which was clean and in good condition from the 4th night and so.They let us keep going during the day to the 218 to have the ocean view.I am very sorry to experience the bad maintenance of your unit and to have this rented anyway besides the problems; My family and I really love sand cay place but have noticed the bad maintenance condition.

We had a wonderful stay in Unit 218. Fantastic views, clean, comfortable, well maintained and well stocked condo. We've stayed at many beach front condos over the years on Longboat and this unit is definitely at the top of the list.

The property location can’t be beat. Well equipped with beach gear. Beds were comfortable but pillows were not - bring your own. The management office was very nice. There were a few bugs in the place that put a damper on the trip. Could have been due to all the rain from the hurricane.

Very easy check in process, updated condo, 50 steps to the beach. Can’t beat the view! We will be coming back!

Our June 2019 trip makes the third one in 5 years to Sand Cay. This time was unit 218. Everything was fantastic. AC was cold, fridge and micro worked fine. Master bed slept great. No complaints from the girls about their room or beds. The view was straight out on the Gulf for great days and sunsets that were out of a movie. Onsite laundry if needed and staff available if you need them. Spent maybe 15 minutes in the pool. Very nice, just wasn't needed as the Gulf is 100 steps away. Really liked the started soaps and shampoo. The landscaping/grounds around Sand Cay are just as picturesque as anything you would find in a magazine. Ten minutes from St Armand's Circle. Restaurants and shopping are great down there. Tyler's Ice Cream is a 10 minute walk, it's a MUST. If you go, PLEASE don't tell anyone about it. It may start to get crowded.

Great Stay overall!
This condo was really nice and the views were amazing! On our first night, we did have two large cockroaches in the kitchen area. I sent a message on VRBO but never got a response. In the morning, I went to the front office and told them. They sent pest control later the same day. We had no more problems after that. There were some issues with the TV volume cutting in and out on several channels were tried to watch. Other than that, everything was great and we really enjoyed our vacation!

We stayed the week after Labor Day weekend and it was totally blissful! Our rental unit was #218 and we loved it. My whole family enjoyed this unit and our million dollar view. My only suggestion is for the owners to provide a little better vacuum cleaner for picking up sand off the floor. The vacuum we had was similar to a small hand vacuum. Otherwise, everything was just as stated on the listing. Cannot wait to book again. If you have any doubts...DON’T worry just book and enjoy. You will not regret it.

This was our second stay at Sand Cay Resort on Longboat Key. We rented #217 and #218 which are located as close to the beach and gulf as possible. So many outstanding features including:
* Great location on Longboat Key close to Publix and St. Armands Circle
* Many outstanding restaurants nearby
* Large heated swimming pool
* Condos are modern, clean, comfortable with a large number of amenities
* Both staff and other guests are so friendly and helpful
* I’ve checked other locations on Longboat Key and nothing else comes close
We can’t wait to return!

Fantastic location and lots of space
We loved our visit to Longboat Key and Sand Cay. The property grounds were beautiful and well kept. The condo was clean, updated, and well stocked with kitchen items for cooking meals. The patio is perfect for watching the beach for morning coffee, lunch, dinner and sunset! The only recommendation I have will be shared with the owner as it is minor and would not keep me from renting this condo. In fact, I will be looking ahead to see when we can travel to Sand Cay again.
