Beautiful Resort, however be choosey about the unit you rent!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gorgeous Resort. This is the 4th unit we have stayed in. It was the worst, the porch was filthy, furniture all needs replacement, hard to find a pan to cook in that wasn't old bent and needed replacement, utensils all needed to be updated, $ 9.99 coffee pot only, junk. Bad old lighting, one of the fan/lights sparked when we turned it on, made us feel unsafe. Thankfully we enjoyed the beach and being outside most of the time. Don't rent#316!!

A Very Needed Break

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in unit 316 from Nov. 2-12. We had stayed there last year for the first time and found it to be a lovely, well maintained complex. There was always someone working around outside to keep things looking clean and neat.Unit 316 has a great view from the patio, with shade in the early day which is nice for morning and noon meals and warm sun for relaxing with some sangria later in the day. This unit, however needs some tlc. The master bed is very comfortable and the master shower is wider than some we've experienced with a seat, which is helpful for older folks like us. But the sofa is saggy in areas, there were almost no hangers (I had to actually purchase some), only 5 forks and knives. We only needed maintenance once, to reseat the screen door to the patio. And all the ladies in the office are so helpful. One helped me find a masseuse when my neck cramped up!We definitely will be back - am already looking at the other units for next year!

Great view, condo needs some updates

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the view of the beach from this condo. The condo furniture is quite dated and the carpet in the bedrooms desperately needs to be replaced. We spent most of our time at the beach so I guess it doesn't really matter but these condos are pretty pricey for the level of comfort you get.

Room with a view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Sand Cay, have been renting here for years, and will continue to do so in the future. That being said, his unit, like many others on the property, have some issues. The bedroom carpet is disgusting and needs to be replaced asap. The dishes in the kitchen cabinets were dirty. And worst of all, the mattresses and bedding are as bad and uncomfortable as they come. These are common issues at Sand Cay. With a small budget, these units could be improved upon tremendously, but for now it's kind of hit or miss. This unit does have a great view though!

Unit 316 Great Location & Ocean Views

Unit was clean with updated bathrooms and Kitchen. Location great, enjoyed the Gulf views and easy access to the beach. Areas that need attention are: 1. Carpets in both bedrooms worn out, had a tinge of black in high traffic areas. 2. Second bedroom is in need of a drywall patch. The unit would be 5 Star if those updated were completed.

Loved the Resort, not so much the unit.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The resort is very unique in style and is situated right on the beach. It's an older resort but is very well kept. The views from the beachside patios are gorgeous. We sat for hours some mornings just enjoying the view and breeze. The location of the resort puts you 15 minutes from Anna Maria or Sarasota. Had fun shelling on Lido Beach and shark panning on Venice Beach. The condo unit we rented needed updating. The carpet is black in areas of the bedroom which is disgusting. The unit itself smelled musty all the time. Not sure if a leak had not been taken care of properly or if it was the air conditioning unit. Couldn't pinpoint. The furniture in the living room is old and had several crusty food stains on them as well as had no support. Sitting and sleeping comfortably unfortunately was not afforded us on this stay. They did provide Beach equipment and ample towels etc. The kitchen was nice and the patio furniture. We will plan another trip to this resort but will make sure to choose a different unit. Cost is different for each unit and out of the resorts control. This unit, 3was high for the quality and comfort of unit.

Excellent Beach Condo Highly Recommend

Condo was very clean. The direct view of the beach was beautiful. The chairs at the pool and on the beach was great! Loved having access to the grill. Management was extremely friendly and helpful. It was nice to have access to free laundry machines. The only thing we were left wanting was a slow cooker or crockpot in the room to have meals ready after a long day on the beach, but that is just a personal preference. Definitely will be recommending and returning!

Rent for the View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The carpet is disgusting. Needs replacing as is black in the high traffic areas. The 2 TVs are so old that you can not get a full picture on them (tried all settings) Bedroom TV does not have a HD box so only get a few channels and only aspect ratio leaves part of the picture cut off. Main TV has only one HDMI input so have to switch cable every time you use a streaming device. Patio doors sticks so bad at times it almost doesn't open. Shower door is too short so water runs out at bottom so have to keep towel there all the time.
