About this property

Unit #105 Sand Cay Beach Resort Gulf View

  • Just like Longboat Key’s original tourists, residents and visitors alike enjoy the beaches and weather — but today’s islanders also cherish the many recreational and cultural amenities like golf, shopping, museums, a wide array of dining choices and a myriad of water sport activities are all nearby.
    Our property has a relaxed, upscale feel and is located in an extremely safe area. Great for vacationers seeking peace and tranquility as well as families wanting an active get-a-way. You will be just steps away from the white sand beach and right next door to the Zota Hotel, which offers casual beach dinners and drinks.
    First floor Gulf-view. Extended bedrooms. Accommodates 6. Very tastefully decorated. Many upgrades. King and two double beds. Three televisions with DVD. Washer and dryer. Beautiful unit!
    Quaint, quiet, and the quality of a boutique resort, not the hassle, noise, the impersonal nature of a hotel. You will become part of our family, and we will look forward to your return year after year.
    When planning a trip to the beautiful Gulf Coast Beaches, stay with us. All of our private beautiful condominiums feature full kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms and a balcony or patio to enjoy. We offer pool and garden, gulf and gulf front beach views. Our property features a heated pool, shuffleboard court, full tennis court and an immaculate private, white sandy beach.
    Experience the ultimate beachfront boutique Florida paradise with us.

Paradise on 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: Overall our experience at Sand Cay was fabulous and all that was advertised. My only complaint is that the WiFi was spotty on our phones anywhere other than the master bedroom. Anytime we left and returned we had to go to the bedroom to make sure our phone was reconnected. Also, the bathrooms could do with an update.

Nice visit

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This unit is pretty nice. The beds were good, the furniture was reasonably new and comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of pots and pans etc. A disappointment occurred though when it was determined that the oven could not be operated and needed repair. It did not work for the entire week. If the management staff had not been so gracious about alternatives to this critical failure, I would have been very upset. The owner needs to replace the oven yesterday but as of the time I left, the useless oven hulk was still there. I also found an invasion of sugar ants. While reported to the manager, I could not tell if they ever addressed it. The ants certainly stayed around. All that said, this is generally such a nice location, I’m coming back to Sand Cay but I will probably call about the condition of the unit before I book this one again. There are lots of other nice places there.

Not our best stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental unit was not as inviting as some of the other units we’ve stayed at. The cabinet doors under the sink was nailed shut so there was no dish drainer or sponges available. There was also no simple pantry items like salt or pepper present. My wife did not realize that the hanging bathroom towel had blood stains on it until after she used it. Also the stopper in master bathroom sink was non functional. We will come back, but not choose this unit.

Great place

The home was very clean and comfortable. The location was amazing. Right on the beach, lounge chairs and umbrella provided. The kitchen was stocked with every dish, glass, appliance you would ever need. The only negative was that the master bed felt slanted so we could never get comfortable.

My review

We always enjoy this resort. We learned this year that the major renovation season includes the week of July 4th (which is when we always take vacation) and according to the front office you need to choose a time to visit the resort in the winter months or rent a condo on the top floor if you do not want to listen to floors being layed and other construction from 9am thru 5pm daily.

Thanks, Sand Cay, and your beautiful property in paradise.

Sand Cay Lovely Family Spot

The location of this complex was outstanding! Small and quiet and peaceful. We cannot say enough about the staff. So kind and accommodating. We were there before Easter… they hosted an Easter egg hunt and a visit by the easter bunny and water slides and provided water basket for young kids ! We were 80 steps to the beach. The grilling area is top notch. Our unit was slightly outdated but wonderful still. Super comfy beds and the kitchen was well appointed. Lots of young families and grandparents too.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We typically stay at the Sand Cay Gulf Front units but due to Bidenflation this year we chose the Gulf View unit. #105 exceeded our expectations - it was bigger than expected (especially the bedrooms) and it still had a great view of the beach. We're hopeful to stay there again next year too. Thanks!

Unit needs a lot of TLC

The property location is very nice, however the unit is in need of a lot of work. When you open the door you are greeted by a filthy entrance carpet and stale smell. The carpet in the living area is also filthy. The overall feeling was dirty. Lights burnt out or missing and shabby decor. I enjoyed the Sandy Cay resort itself, but would never stay in this unit again.

Excellent Location, fully stocked condo!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was well prepared for our visit - the kitchen had every appliance you would need (and we made good use of them!). Location is fabulous...just steps from the beach. A few cons worth highlighting:Since this is a first floor unit, you will hear the folks upstairs. It was impossible to get any sleep until the party upstairs went to sleep. The walls/floors are thin.The master bedroom king bed is very outdated and needs to be upgraded. The mattress is uncomfortable.I love the community - it has old Florida charm, but I will not be staying on a ground floor unit again. It will have to be a top floor unit from now on as the stomping from upstairs is too much.

This is our 3rd or4th year in unit 105. Our 10th year at Sand Cay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: 105 is nice because it’s a large 2 bedroom with double Queens and king beds. However it needs updating especially in the bathrooms. Master bath looks dirty due to chipped grout and mildew. The first bath can also use upgrades. I did notice new furniture in bedrooms and TV area. Our group had 6 rooms. 3 of them had noticeable updates. With rates going up more modern updates are expected. I also rented 106 and they updated kitchen very nicely. 106 needs it too. Noticed outside clean-out plumbing done and left sandy instead of putting sod. Poorly done with the rest of property looking nice.
