Great stay at the Sand Cay (:

Room was wonderful. My kids and I had a terrific time! Office staff was as nice as could be. Pool could have been cleaned (skimmed for bugs) a little more throughout the day, but otherwise everything was great!

Longboat Key July '23

This was a wonderful and comfortable place to be for a week. Property and amenities were as described. Guests / owner in other units were pleasant. Staff was helpful; check in and check out were extremely simple. We enjoyed the ability to prepare breakfast and lunches at the property and get on the beach early and easily each day. Excellent experience.

Spring Break 2023

We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay. We came to the condo after spending a few days at Disney World. So, we were ready for some rest and relaxation, and that is exactly what we got. The condo was clean and stocked with everything that we needed for our time there. The view and location are incredible. Also, the property office was great to work with and the owner of the condo provided prompt and clear communication. We are wanting to make this a recurring vacation spot for our family and look forward to our next stay.

Would stay again

Our only problem with the unit is that the second bedroom was very small. The bed is so close to the closet it is very difficult to access and the second bathroom is not connected to the bedroom. These issues were manageable, just would have like to know in advance. We would definitely stay there again. The resort itself is very nice. We drove a short distance to Coquina Beach and grab the trolley to spend the afternoon in Anna Maria. For us Long Boat Key was a good choice, much less built up.

Beautiful condo on the perfect beach

We stayed for a conference that was being held next door. It was a super convenient location (close to groceries, restaurants). The property is better than pictures… wow what a view! Very clean, everything (and more!) they had available for use in the kitchen. We borrowed umbrellas for the beach from the office which were awesome! Can’t wait to come back with my family! Longboat Key is a hidden gem of an island!

Enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our visit to Longboat Key! This property had everything we needed plus beautiful views of the ocean. Great location, the property was quiet, and the beach was not crowded at all during our stay. We appreciated the beach umbrella this unit provided, as well as the cooler and floats. My family loved floating around in the ocean!

Amazing views

The condo was perfect for our family beach trip. Very roomy, great amenities, and the amazing views. We loved sitting on the balcony or in the sitting room looking at the beach and ocean. And the kitchen was really well stocked with everything we needed. Already looking to stay there again next year.

Spring break in Longboat Key

Our family enjoyed a few days at this lovely condo! The view is wonderful from the patio. We loved being steps away from the beach. The beach loungers included by the resort we’re a nice amenity, as well as the umbrella in the unit. Condo was clean and the office staff were so friendly and helpful. We went to Armand’s circle (I think it’s called) two nights, fun shopping and dining. We’d never stayed in Longboat and I’d go back. It’s quieter than many beach areas. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
