So, if you aren't sold yet, let me tell you a little more about the location of this property on Longboat Key. There are numerous restaurants on Longboat Key as well as a full service Publix supermarket. Longboat Key is located a few miles from world class dining and shopping in St. Armand's Circle. If you aren't familiar with St. Armand's Circle, well, you're in for a treat because this area is a very well known and high end commercial retail and restaurant area. It is filled with boutiques, restaurants, dessert shops, and nightlife. This is a renowned area and people come from all over to walk the circle, take in the sights and sounds, and enjoy the many offerings of this area. If you want even more offerings, Downtown Sarasota you can find an even larger supply of retail, restaurants, nightlife, concert halls, comedy venues and more. You can catch a movie, a play or performance at the Sarasota Van Wezel, or just walk down Main Street and pop in and out of dozens and dozens of shops and stores. Uber is widely available to downtown so no need to worry about transportation, everything is right there at your fingertips.

The condo is also a very short drive to City Island, where your family can enjoy a day at Mote Marine Laboratory, where you can enjoy the large aquariums, education centers, and aquatic "petting zoos" for an up close and personal nautical experience. You can also visit New Pass Bait Shop to test out your fishing luck or launch a kayak or boat at the boat ramp on City Island as well. There is a small park and beach on City Island as well.

A few miles to the north, visit Bridge St. on Anna Maria Island for a quaint island town atmosphere with restaurants, shops and two fishing piers one on the Bay (with bait shop) as well as one on the Gulf. Fish on the gulf pier while your family and friends watch you fish sitting on the beach. Piers are 5 minute walk from each other!!

We hope you choose our condo. for your next getaway!

3rd year in a row!
This was our 3rd year in a row on LBK and in this unit. It’s beautiful and easily situated to the beach. The community is safe and so kid friendly. We had a great time as always and can’t wait to come back next year!

Beautiful clean condo with nice view of the ocean
This was one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in. Impeccably clean and the view is better than the pictures show. The condo is spacious and the beds are comfortable. The surrounding area is very nice and very quiet but is also not too far from shops and restaurants. There are free chairs on the beach to use and that was a nice touch. Couldn’t recommend this place enough

Fantastic
This unit is lovely. The location facing the beach and on the first floor was ideal. It is decorated beautifully. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. The beds (even the sleeper sofa) were comfortable. I don’t have one complaint. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Very clean and relaxing
The king bed I slept in was SO comfortable. I also loved the stand up shower. Great water pressure and plenty of nice, hot water. Loved having a kitchen stocked with pans, plates, etc. The living room was also so comfortable to lounge and watch movies, Netflix etc. Super comfortable couch. Nice having a washer and dryer in unit too. Only negative was that they forgot to put a key in our welcome envelope, so after a long day of traveling we were unable to get into our condo when we arrived. Was a bit stressful with a tired one year old, but they responded quickly and got us in.

Love Longboat Key
Beautiful location; enjoyed yard/sea views from living room & patio. Beautifully decorated, as pictured; but unfortunately, perhaps due to hurricane evacuation two weeks prior (no damage though,) the bed linens were dirty. Food stain, makeup stain on sham/bedspread & dirty marks on king bedspread. They brought new bedspreads but the shams were not replaced. I understand with time constraints that it must be hard to clean sheets & all the bedding too; but, and the office agreed, it must be done. Everything else was fairly clean.

We had an absolutely fantastic time during our stay at Sand Cay Beach Resort. The unit we stayed in was perfectly located and exactly as shown in the listing. There was plenty of room for the four of us. The location of the unit gives you direct access to the beach. Beautiful white sand and so peaceful. The perfect amount of people, not overly crowded and what can I say about the absolutely gorgeous sunsets. We all would recommend this property and plan to visit again! Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!

Perfect vacation spot!
We can’t say enough great things about this condo! After having cancelled flights and losing a day of our vacation, all we wanted to do was relax and this property was the perfect spot for our family! The office staff were super helpful and our condo was a beautiful beach oasis. We loved that the outdoor patio was private and we could easily just walk right to the beach especially for my mom who has trouble walking. My 16 month old had a blast in the ocean and it was an overall amazing vacation! Thank you so much!

The property was nice. It is on the lower level of the complex. There was some noise upstairs but nothing too bad. The beach is right out your back door. Pool was nice and the property was well kept.

A beautiful place for our vacation
The property was beautiful. It had all the comforts of home while at vacation (hello Nespresso!). My family and I enjoyed being on the ground lever right near the water. The location of the unit felt like a little private yard with access to the beach. My early morning walk to the beach with a cappuccino in hand made my trip!
