I'm less than impressed... The only advantage is being in a place on the beach. The inside of our unit met our needs but not really a place that I felt was "nice". It has zero charm, coffee maker dirty w old coffee in it when we arrived, dead bugs in the bed and bird poop on windows. If you... More

Just got back from spending a week at the Sand Cay Beach Resort and the only word that sums it up is STUNNING. Stayed in appartment 212 which was spotless upon arrival, very spacious and well equiped. Had all the little touches that really made it feel a home away from home. The resort itself was excellent, 30 second walk... More

We have been vacationing in Longboat key since 1998. We used to stay at the Key Club until a friend mentioned the Sandcay. We were tired of overpriced drinks, so gave it a try. This past weekend was our 7th stay in a row. The value is hard to beat. The exterior is not much o look at as you... More

Everyone came away saying "Best vacation ever!" It was exactly what we were looking for - quiet, oceanfront, family oriented. The staff and the guest were friendly all of our encounters with the staff were pleasant. Members of my family went to the beach every day. I liked the pivate (somewhat) patio (shaded). We spent lots of time there also.... More

We had a 3rd floor 2/2 condo Gulf front. The view was incredible, especially from the dining room, which was wall to wall windows on two side facing west and north - both water views. The living room, kitchen, and master bedroom were all a good size but the 2nd bedroom was miniscule. There were two twin beds and a... More

Our first stay at Sand Cay will not be our last. We made reservation for next year before we left. The condo units are well designed and the onsite management is very helpful. A complete resort with pool, tennis court, a very nice beach with lounge chairs, free high speed internet and free laundry. We were on the second level... More

The kitchen was equipped with all cooking and eating utensils and had a great view of the gulf. We ate almost all meals in our unit. Diningroom was nice and had a great view, as... More

What a nice resort and a great condo! Condo # 117 at Sand Cay had an amazing view of the Gulf of Mexico. The beach was beautiful with white sand and only steps away from the unit. We watched the sunset from the paving brick patio almost every night. The sunsets were amazing! Condo, #117 had a washer and dryer... More

We went on November 2012 during Thanksgiving time. It was a little chilly there. The unit 103 has a nice layout and great view. Unit is on the corner, very private and ocean front. We brought two kids and my mother in law. It was very clean beach and great for kids. This resort provides beach toys. The pool is... More
