The beach was beautiful. We have rented units in the clearwater besch/sand key are for close to 20 years. This unit was the most disappointing. VERY hard to use the pool due to construction which from talking to owners has been going on for over a year and will continue possibly another year. The owner did not tell us of this and he knew this remodeling was going on for the last year. Elevators were out of service on some days, sitting by the pool was like having a root canal with all the jack hammers, cement saws, hammers and yelling construction workers. Residents were all complaining. We should have been told of this. We rented this unit because it had a pool, couldn't use it between 9am and 4pm. The unit itself was ok. Living room looks updated from the 90's, but kitchen and bath need some work . Very clean except for corners were old tile is.cut my toe on a broken piece of parquet flooring that was broken. The pull out bed is aweful. We both were forced to the middle no matter were we started which is great sometimes but other times geez..then getting out of the bed is like climbing out of quick sand. You sink in the middle and have to dig your way out. If you have any mobility problems not the bed for you! I have bad knees and it was all I could do to get out of this bed. Overall well stocked except for sharp knives. We ate breakfast and lunch at the cindo and cutting stawberries and cantelope with a butter knife was interesting. Very well stocked with beach towels and beach chairs. Balcony was lovely, new chairs. We had a nice week overall other than not being able to use the pool very often (which we paid for) and having to have my husband sleep in the club chair and me on the couch all week. Both our backs were kIlling us. Location was great view was great. Will not rent from this owner again due to the deceit ##### Bill Q. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charlie C. 5 Apr 2019 #### Sand Key Condo The view was beautiful and Scott was easy to work with. ##### Charlie C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### JAMES H., Farmington Hills, MI 5 Mar 2018 #### Beautiful property Great location. Nicely furnished. Great owner. Will definitely return. ##### JAMES H. Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### April W. 21 Mar 2017 #### Great Stay! I so enjoyed my time at Sand Key and Harbor Light Towers! The condo was nice...just what my family needed! The view from the balcony of the pool and ocean was just gorgeous!!!! The pictures on the listing really don't do it justice! And the owner Scott was so easy to work with and communicated so well with me. I would definitely book this condo again for my next trip to Sand Key. ##### April W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2017 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rae Ann B. 22 Feb 2017 #### Would return again! Owner is certainly the BEST. Check on our arrival to make sure all was acceptable and did everything to make our stay the perfect vacation. Thank you to Scott Mack. Highly recommend. ##### Rae Ann B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sunset Key Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Sunset-Key-Cottages.h17456804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shire at West Haven 101](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-The-Shire-At-West-Haven-101.h35790310.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton EPIC Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Kimpton-EPIC-Hotel.h2237168.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Bentley Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Bentley-Hotel-South-Beach.h120299.Hotel-Information) > > [Esmé Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Esme-Miami-Beach.h58072094.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Plaza Resort & Suites by Wyndham Orlando Intl Drive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Ramada-Plaza-Resort-Suites-By-Wyndham-Orlando-Intl-Drive.h897604.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Portofino Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Portofino-Bay-Hotel.h201033.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Southernmost Beach Resort and Guesthouses](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Southernmost-Beach-Resort.h863329.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Village Views Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Magic-Village-Views-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h36882728.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Naples/5th Avenue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Naples5th-Avenue.h12805323.Hotel-Information) > > [LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort - A Noble House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-LaPlaya-Beach-Golf-Resort-A-Noble-House-Resort.h25199.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tampa-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tampa-Downtown.h59632755.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [UMA House by Yurbban South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-UMA-House-By-Yurbban-South-Beach.h74778624.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Sorrento Oceanview Junior Suite with free parking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Sorrento-Oceanview-Junior-Suite-With-Free-Parking.h29618894.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Greystone - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Greystone.h34892018.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seagate Hotel, Golf & Beach Club, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delray-Beach-Hotels-The-Seagate-Hotel-Spa.h2803783.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Grand-Beach-Hotel.h2238836.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Aventura Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Aventura-Hotel.h18352896.Hotel-Information) ---
