My wife, 3 children and I stayed at the Sand Cay in 2011 and again this year and our experience was awesome. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. The pool is a perfect size and the beach is just steps away. We will definitely return.

We stayed in unit 317 (absolutely amazing!!) The condo was very cute and nicely furnished & had everything you would need for cooking, grilling, etc. The views from this condo are unbelievable! I was pretty amazed! I travelled with my husband, my brother-in-law & his girlfriend....the trip was extra special because my brother-in-law proposed to his girl on the balcony... More

We have stayed at Sand Cay condos 3-4 times over the last 20 years. (I would have come every year, but my husband hates to fly!!) This condo is nearly perfect. Situated on Longboat Key it is relaxation at it's best. Nice 2 bed/2bath condos, most updated, have everything you need. The grounds are kept up beautifully. A nice small... More

We stayed at San Cay Beach Resort for a long weekend in October 2011. We were quite satisfied with the condo unit we selected – unit 203. The location and view were just what we were looking for and we spent most of our time on the balcony. The condo was nicely maintained and had all of the amenities we... More

We had a lovely week at Sand Cay. We stayed in Room 317 which was really spacious and had a hot tub in the bathrroom. The view from the balcony was fantastic and we saw dolphins swimming past! The young guy on reception was really helpful. You really need a car when you stay at Longboat Key but there is... More

Our family has been coming here for over 30 years. We love the view, calm peaceful waters and meeting interesting new friends. My mantra while here is "beach, pool, condo". Units are tastefully decorated, have all the required amenities and the many of the first floor units have waters and dryers in the units.

All the units are the same size (small) and difficult to get to (lots of stairs). Tiny bedrooms and bathrooms with uncomfortable bedding and limited amenities. No washer/dryers in units - coin laundry room at the pool area. Tennis courts were locked and no sports equipment was available. No clerks or manager on duty (Christmas holiday - however, outrageous rates... More

Dear Guest, First and foremost, we are sorry that your stay was less then ideal here with us. I would like to address some of the specific things you referenced in your review of our property. The units actually do vary in size as a whole, but all of them are divided as 2 bedroom and 2 bath units. Some... More

Dear Guest, I am certainly glad you a positive stay here with us! However, I would like to address the deposit issue you referenced in your review. I do agree 100% that it should have been refunded quicker, but there are sometimes factors that lead to a deposit taking longer than the standard time. As of now, we have gotten... More

We (young couple, 2 infants and 2 grandparents) stayed in unit 103 (beach front ground floor, closest to beach) and it was a very nice unit. It has been renovated recently, nice new tile floors, kitchen w/granite and new cabinets, both bathrooms remodeled with tile walls/ floors. Unit has a washer/dryer, but coin operated washers/dryers available if needed. Two large... More

We've just returned today and we are already missing Sand Cay Beach Resort! We had booked our unit 212 direct through the owner & could not be more impressed! The 2BR condo with a view of the Gulf was more than we could have hoped for. It was very easy to manuever with a 4yr old & even my 19... More
