I love coming to Sand Cay with family. My room had been renovated and was beautiful, comfortable and well stocked with kitchen equipment. We love grilling and catching the amazing sunsets. My niece and nephew grew up coming here for vacations and this year we celebrated my nephew’s engagement! That’s many wonderful times at Long Boat Key and Sand Cay.
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!

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.

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!

Beautiful condo with lovely views. There is nothing you need when you arrive. We do need to see a beach tent or cabana. Some people love to be on the beach with their family but do t want to be scorched by the sun all day. The umbrellas didn’t cut it. Also knew a decent beverage cooler , not a styrofoam box without a lid.

We stayed in unit 216 with a beautiful view if the ocean and sunset. Everything was perfect. The condo front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Wold come back again.
This was by far our favorite location! This condo is in a short walking distance to the beach. Literally right out the door and around the corner. Made everything about our vacation so easy and convenient! Pool was also nice for those that wanted pool time instead of beach time. Beach towels, a small cooler, beach chairs, beach umbrella and sand toys were provided. A nice touch. We have already decided we will definitely be back again!
