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!

We had a great time in Longboat Key! The condo’s beachfront location was perfect and provided a private, short walk to the beach. The condo was very clean and well stocked with all the beach gear you need. Check in/out was easy and we had no issues or complaints. We’d easily stay here again!
5.0
Even though we were on the first floor we had great views. Short walk about 1 to 2 minutes to the beach. They have everything we needed for the beach with a toddler including sand toys, umbrella and beach toys. Plenty of towels and a starter kit of other items. Checkin was easy just went to the office and got the keys then just dropped off. We had some electrical issues that the entire town was having and the office contacted me letting me know how to handle the air conditioning. That was very nice they were proactive. Very much enjoyed our stay.

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!

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

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!

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.

Property was as advertised. Clean and comfortable.
Sand Cay is relatively small and quiet, Beach and pool was never busy, with plenty of chairs.
4.0
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.

The property was lovely! 5-star accommodations. We’ll be back!

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!

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!
5.0
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.
5.0
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!

My husband, two boys (6 and 3), and I had a great stay! The newly remodeled condo was the perfect size and clean. We enjoyed the beach view from the patio and sitting area with easy access to the beach. It was helpful that beach and bathroom towels, as well as laundry were provided in the condo. Nice little kitchen for staying in or many great restaurants close by (but I recommend getting reservations in advance). We would stay here again!

Unit had a great location and a beach view. Short walk across the grass to the beautiful beach. Plenty of Chaise lounges to choose from. Unit came with Beach Umbrellas which were put to good use.

Absolutely beautiful, the property and unit. Clean, well maintained and easily accessible to the beach. Check in process was informative and convenient. Will definitely stay again and refer to friends and family.

This location is perfect whether you want to just stay and lounge at the property or if you want to explore. It is only a 5-30 minute drive to visit other beaches, including #1 Siesta Key. Although we enjoyed exploring other beaches we enjoyed the privacy of the beach steps away from the condo. We saw the most beautiful sunset from our patio and had no problem getting loungers for the beach. The property is well stocked with everything you will need and the owners communicated with us well. There is a Publix located 5 minutes away with an excellent deli. We would highly recommend this location, you won’t be disappointed.

We had a lovely week at this property. The location was perfect - private patio, close to the beach, close to the pool and close to shopping areas. Condo was clean and beds were super comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already booked again for next year.

The property is even nicer than it looked online.
Beds were so comfortable and the living room area was very spacious. Our lounge chairs were on the beach for us and other things for the beach were available in the office all free to use.
You won’t have a better relaxing vacation anywhere else. They take good care of the property and their guest.

We loved our stay at Sand Cay Resort. We were in Unit 119 facing the beach. Just a few steps away from the beach to our patio door. The unit was clean and very nicely decorated. We will be returning next year!

Remember this is a ground floor property. You may have noise above. We did but probably most won’t. Bathrooms and bedrooms on the small side. Lovely kitchen and living area.
