About the host
Your host
Jeff and I are happy owners of Unit #309. We live in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI and have two daughters. In a few years we look forward to spending more time at Sand Cay and enjoying this slice of paradise that we love to share.
Why they chose this property
We have vacationed at Sand Cay Beach Resort for many years. Jeff's parents owned #217 during the 1990's and early 2000's. We loved experiencing all the Longboat Key and Sarasota and surrounding areas have to offer.
What makes this property unique
Sand Cay Beach Resort is located right on the beach. No streets to cross or long walks. And the benefit of our condo is you pay for Garden view but the view from the dining table and balcony on the 3rd floor actually has a view of the ocean! It gets great reviews so plan your trip in our unit #309 today!
