A nice place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit was comfortable and attractive. It was clean and had all the necessary accessories. The only thing we didn’t like was that the umbrella on the balcony was broken so it wasn’t comfortable sitting there in the sun. The unit looks right into other units, so we didn’t like that but there were shades that could be pulled down. Overall this is a good place to stay except there aren’t washers and dryers in the unit, which after all these price increases should be included by now.

Gorgeous view and comfortable furnishings

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: We recently rented two beautiful condos for our large group. This unit had the most gorgeous view of the gulf and spacious feeling layout. Our group ended up hanging out together here most of the time, eating dinner together or doing a puzzle or watching TV. The furniture on the patio has been upgraded to a high top with 6 chairs total, including two that can be used with the small high top table facing the gulf for or an intimate breakfast for two or drinks in the evening. The living room furniture has been upgraded to a very comfortable sectional sofa with two leather, swivel chairs by the large window that can swivel to turn out and look at the gulf. The high top table inside has been removed making more seating room for your party. Finally, the beds have been upgraded as well and are very comfortable. The kitchen is open with large areas for prepping food on all the countertops.

Sand Cay Beach Resort Longboat Key

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: I stayed at the resort with 4 other friends. We had 2 units during our stay. My friends and I go somewhere every year. We will definitely be back to Sand Cay. The accommodations were clean and very nice. We loved meeting Sarah, who is on the videos she's posted on FB. She made it look so great and it was. Sarah was very nice just as she seems on her videos! She is a gem! We liked that the resturants were local you do have to drive into Bradenton to get to the commercialized businesses sick as Walmart but it wasn't that far at all. We liked that we could walk our doors and walk onto the beach. It was so close. We loved that. I would highly recommend Sand Cay!

65 Birthday Bash!

Our condo was beautiful with a beautiful view. Easy access to the beach and the umbrellas and beach chairs came in handy. The condo was spacious and had all we needed except it would have been nice to have a few more trash bags and rolls of toilet paper. The stay was to short and we will stay longer next visit. The kids loved the books and the beach toys . It was the perfect place to celebrate my son’s life that I lost 3 months ago and my sister’s birthday!

Nice and relaxing

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: Longboat Key is a very quiet and low key. If your looking to relax and spend quiet time at the beach, then longboat is the answer. Rental was very clean and well stocked. Loved that there were two full size beds in the second bedroom. Plenty of room for 6 adults. Two things I would upgrade.. add a love seat, not enough room for a family if they want to watch a movie or just hangout. Second even though the resort provides lounge chairs, it would have been nice to have some chairs to sit by/in the ocean. No deal breaker for me will stay again. View is amazing.

Great June 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: Unit 216 was very clean & looked like it had new furniture which was very comfortable. Even the kitchen had wonderful utensils etc. We did have to go to the front desk & ask for a coffee maker. The unit had a small Kerig which we didn’t care for but the office was so accommodating & had an extra coffee maker for us. 216 is the best unit we’ve ever had & we’ve gone to Sand Cay several years. Loved it.
