Our stay at Longboat Key was the escape we needed and this condo was a great place for us to stay. The restaurant suggestion list was greatly appreciated. Next time I will bring a small drying rack as the washers and dryers, though free, are located by the office, not in the condo.

We stayed for a long weekend in February and had an amazing time. Our condo was well equipped and the space was great for our family. The property is ideal with located on the beach, shuffleboard, pickleball/tennis/basketball, plus the heated pool. We hardly needed to leave besides to get food. We hope to be back next year!!!

The view from this unit is spectacular. things they need to address: more towel bars in the bathrooms. more lamps in general in the living area. fill the holes in the drywall. fix the window in the second bedroom. one of the chairs on the patio is broken. the tv situation in the living area need attention; it appears the box is dysfunctional and the signal spontaneously goes out.

This is our 2nd year at Sand Cay but 12 year coming to Longboat key.Sand Cay is good for us at this time in the fall, not busy and easy to get around.The staff are particularly nice and always helpful. Special shout out for Sara from your "Scottish Family"!

Great rental experience! We've booked it for next April already! Only one wish- an umbrella in a separate stand (not in the table) so one could sit out on the balcony in the later afternoon and have some shade.

Lovely condo and property. Bedrooms and baths are a tad smaller than they appear in the photos but the amazing views in the rest of the condo made up for it! Condo was great, beds were comfortable, kitchen was really well stocked and the fact that the property provided lounge chairs and umbrellas was an added bonus. We had a great time!

Such a great unit. Wonderful space - clean
, excellent bathrooms/towels, kitchen utensils.
One amazing detail which really impressed us. We brought a deflated soccer ball with us to kick around and the unit even
Had a ball pump with needles. It was a great service as we thought we'd have to run to a store. We loved it there and of course views are amazing at sunset and really all day. Thanks!

Sand Cay
When we first arrived the air conditioning was not working, however, the office staff had someone out within the hour to fix it. The unit was nice and the view was breathtaking. I would definitely stay in this unit again. The only bad is there is no washer and dryer in the unit but there is an on sight laundry facility that is free to use and no one messes with your laundry.

We highly recommend Room 302 Sand Cay if you are looking for a beautiful panoramic view of the Gulf. It has recent updates in both bathrooms (beautifully done) and flooring in the main living/ dining area. The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to cook our meals. The grounds at Sand Cay are gorgeous and well maintained. The staff was friendly, however we didn't need anything from them except to check in and check out. We hated to leave!

If you like sunsets (who doesn’t ?) , Sand Cay unit 302 cannot be beat. The balcony looks directly at the Gulf . The sunsets seem to be right smack in front of you. The unit is very comfortable and clean. The furnishings are okay ( nothing fancy ) , but there is pretty much everything you need to have a spectacular family vacation.

The view was the absolute best! The corner end patio location made it a bit too windy. I would suggest a few extras= colander, small dish rack, rain umbrella. Beds were extremely comfortable. The website indicated 2 twin beds in the 2nd bedroom...I would recommend correcting that. No question, we will be back!

Pretty great location. Unit is pretty small. Small bedrooms, tiny bathrooms Lots of mirrored walls to make it look bigger. Kitchen has lots of good stuff. TV’s aren’t smart. No Netflix or Prime.

The last time we went to Sand Cay was in 2010, so it was good to be back. I know each condo is individually owned, and condo #302 was great for us. The bathrooms were beautifully updated as were the floors, and while the rest of the condo may not have been completely updated, it had everything we needed and it was perfect for our stay! The view was immaculate and we were able to see a beautiful sunset every night. Since the sun sets in the west and the balcony faces to the west, we did have a lot of sun on the patio until the sun went down, but again, that was fine for us.

We had a great vacation at Sand Cay Beach Resort. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The resort was crisp clean and looked as if the exterior of all buildings had been freshly painted. The grounds were lush and well manicured. Beach chairs were plentiful and available complimentary to the resort guests. We stayed in unit 302 with gorgeous views of the beach and sunsets. Reserved parking spot for each unit made parking a breeze. The resort was family friendly and very quiet at night.
We will definitely stay again at this resort.

Great Condo on a BEAUTIFUL Beach!
We very much loved our stay in this condo and would absolutely book it again ... I think it must have the best view of the beach of any condo on the property. Everything in the condo is as described, convenient to grocery and restaurants, and steps from the most gorgeous beach ever -- we can't wait to return!

First, you are paying the lion's share of rent/fees for the location, the view, the proximity to one of the best beaches in Florida, so any nagging little negatives pale in comparison. Don't even waste much time thinking about them. Well, except maybe one. But first, the good stuff.1. Those photos you see online, especially the ones from the balcony - they're not retouched, they're absolutely true and the view is drop-dead gorgeous. THIS is why you spend the money and rent a condo here.2. It feels big inside. I don't know the actual square footage but it's probably not as big as it seems. Way more space than my wife and I needed but we certainly appreciated it. A family will do just fine with this much space.3. Everything works, from the plumbing, to the lights, to the heating and the A/C, both of which we used during our week there when it was warm at both ends and unseasonably cool in the middle.4. The geographic location is pretty much in the middle of Longboat Key making it close to St. Arman's to the south and Anna Maria Island to the north. Which means you are no more than 10 to 15 minutes from great restaurants, shopping and of course Publix.5. Did I mention the views?Now, here is one negative. It did not affect us much since we bedded down in the larger bedroom. But take heed to this review and at least one other, the A/C unit is bolted to a wooden base directly outside the smaller bedroom. It is noisy, it vibrates and honestly I don't see how anyone could sleep in there. We heard it in our BR but it wasn't bothersome, nor was it a problem in the rest of the place. Just that small BR. If you draw the short straw, you may need to sleep in the LR. I noted that all of the AC units (that I saw) were mounted in a similar fashion and since these are wood framed condos, the noise and vibration goes right through.One other thing to note, and this may just be a personal preference, but the vents are all located high up the walls and will blow directly on you, especially the BR and LR.I wish we'd known when we got there (after the office had closed) that there is an elevator and valet carts up toward the front. Makes it way easier to get your luggage and stuff to your condo than huffing it all up the stairs.One last little negative, the parking lot has ZERO lighting and is quite dark at night. Just FYI.So it's not perfect, but what is? We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will likely book at Sand Cay again. I hope this helps.

We Overall had a great time in 302. It had beautiful views and nice bathrooms.
The floors creaked a bit in the master bedroom. The unpleasant part for us was finding roaches. They have very tall ceilings....unfortunately the roaches like hanging out at the top where you cannot get to them. At night we found them crawling around the floors. But overall this was a nice unit.

Great way to relax at the beach.
Updated condo (pics are old in website, this place had definitely been updated). Bathrooms, living room, dinning room, kitchen now all have faux hardwood floors (not carpet). Bathrooms appliances upgraded, too. Overall, very nice and clean place. And right next to the beach. Beautiful sunsets every night. Had beach stuff in condo to use. Very quiet area. Not a lot of people so almost like a beach to yourself. Would recommend. Just note the outside A/C unit is very loud and vibrates through the wall into the bedroom with twin beds. We couldn't sleep in there. Had family sleep in the king room and I slept on the sofa. Bonus for me... I woke up to a beautiful view each morning with blinds fully open.

Breathtaking View
Great view of Gulf and the best view of sunset I’ve ever experienced from the comfort of the living room couch. Condo was great expect for carpet in bedrooms. Smelled mildew when first entered condo but opened windows... I really wanted to complain about nasty carpet in bedrooms but once I saw the view of the ocean from the living room and balcony I was speechless 😊
