We really enjoyed the property at Sand Cay, the beach is beautiful and access so close! The office ladies were very welcoming and helpful. The kitchen and bathrooms are nicely updated (bathrooms a little small), the bedrooms and family room seem a little worn/outdated. There was a decent sized lizard (bigger than a salamander) in the condo our first night, wondering if the maids left the door open when cleaning. The beach umbrella was a welcome bonus! We enjoyed our time here very much, a relaxing stay!

Fantastic beach vacation

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.

Excellent as always

This was our third stay at the property, with us having stayed in different units each time. You can really tell that the property has made significant investments in the past few years, all worthwhile. We will keep coming back, I don’t have anything critical to say about this particular unit, but as we have stayed in other units on the property with a washer and dryer in the unit, we missed that a little with this one, but be free common use machines were still excellent. Other than that, the only other thing we missed in this particular unit was a fridge that had filtered water and an ice machine. Again, not a major dissatisfier, but with two young kids, it would be a bonus.

Great Location and Well-Equipped Condo, But Needs a Deep Clean

The location of this condo was absolutely amazing—just a short walk to the ocean, which made our stay incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The unit itself was well equipped with everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. All the tools and appliances were available, making it easy to cook and feel at home.However, the cleanliness of the unit could use significant improvement. It seemed like the space had only been superficially cleaned prior to our arrival. Some furniture surfaces were noticeably dusty and appeared not to have been touched in quite a while. Additionally, while the main bathroom areas (toilet, sink, shower) were clean, other surfaces in the bathroom had accumulated dust and clearly hadn’t been wiped down recently.A couple of smaller issues also stood out—two fans in the unit were not working, and one of the extra pillows I found in the closet was very old and worn out, which was disappointing.Overall, while the location and amenities were great, the cleaning and minor maintenance issues detracted from an otherwise pleasant stay. A thorough deep clean and some attention to upkeep would make a big difference.Staff in the office was very pleasant and kind.

Best beach vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sand Cay provides the best beach vacation for a family. The units having 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and family room allow my family to live at the ocean comfortably. The beach and water are beautiful year after year. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I am a third generation guest at sand cay and I know my family will continue to come here year after year for generations to come. We are so grateful for our home away from home.

Nice Retro Resort In Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Nice condo on a great property

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.

Quiet nice beach but nothing in walking distance

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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 very much enjoyed our winter getaway and will be back.
