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!

This was our second time at Sand Cay and once again it did not disappoint! The unit was great - beds were super comfortable for our family of 5 (even the pull out couch!), kitchen with every amenity you could want, easy access to the beach and gorgeous all around.

Unit 119 was great! Location was perfect. 70 steps from door to beach! It is clean, bright and nicely furnished. Management team was incredibly attentive and responsive. Looking forward to more vacations at Sand Cay.

The condo is beautiful with an amazing view and right on the beach! I loved it and would stay again. The sitting room was my favorite spot to read in and look at the ocean. The only negative is that because it’s a first floor unit (which I typically love) we could hear all of the footsteps of the group staying above us.

Unit 119 at Sand Cay Resort is the nicest unit we have rented since staying at Sand Cay for past 6 years. It has very nice decor and comfortable seating areas. The unit was clean and just a few steps away from beach. Would consider renting this unit again on our next visit.

Quick getaway for some warmth and Sunshine. Sandy Cay was a great place to stay. Mid Island location made it easy to get to St Armand’s south and Anna Maria North. Sandy Cay resort was a beautiful spot right on the beach. Our unit was clean, well appointed, and had everything you needed. Checking and out was quick and easy. We will be back!

The condo was very clean, gorgeous, and very accommodating. Appreciated having starter packs of soaps etc. Beach towels, beach toys, and beach chairs were provided. Free laundry service and ice was a nice touch. This is all great for travelers. Owner, and staff were awesome..... very kind and helpful. Can’t say enough about how responsive and helpful they all were. We would definitely stay again. On the down side the noise from the condo above was loud and very disturbing. Early mornings, late into the evening, and sometimes at 3am, making sleeping or relaxation while on vacay difficult. Dragging of furniture across the floor at times. Having stayed at many first floor condos over the years we have experienced renters above us before. Although you expect some noise and activity this seemed excessive. The grounds were lovely and well maintained. Thank you to all for sharing your place with us.

Sand Cay Beach Resort has been our vacation-go-to spot for the past 3 years. We love the location on Longboat Key. Not very touristy, the beaches and Gulf are gorgeous and refreshing. Sand Cay Resort offers beautiful views and a clean condo. We couldn’t be happier staying there for our family vacation!

Russ and Jane Chapman rented Unit 119 and were very pleased with the updates, cooking utensils, sunshine most of the day and the professional help with the backed up garbage disposal. We really enjoyed our three months of winter with you all. Looking forward to 2004. Thanks to you all!

June 2022. We really enjoyed our stay in Unit 119. The unit has recently been remodeled/redecorated. The furniture seems new, is comfortable, and is very attractive. There’s a chandelier over the dining table. Window coverings are nice with Pottery Barn drapes in the living room. The master dresser even has soft-close drawers. The bathrooms are both very nicely done (although not much room to organize toiletries). The location is great for easy beach access. We liked having a washer and dryer. There are several coffee machine choices (Keurig, Mr. Coffee, etc.). A few of the lights are on dimmer switches which is a really nice upgrade. FYI-There is no tv in the second bedroom. We got a beach umbrella from the office to use during our stay as the umbrellas in the unit seemed to be broken. We noticed some of the kitchen recessed light bulbs had burned out. The only room not remodeled is the storage room and it could be better organized. It could also be used to store extra bedding rather than taking up precious space in bedroom closets. Our family has vacationed at Sand Cay numerous times in multiple units. We would stay in this unit again. It might be one of the nicest units at Sand Cay! The grounds and exterior are well-maintained. We love the vibe of Sand Cay and Longboat Key!

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay in Unit 119 at the Sand Cay. It was clear this unit was freshly renovated throughout (less the kitchen which had some worn out cabinets). The unit was comfortable and nicely appointed. The only draw back of our stay was the unit did not feel very clean upon out entry. The floors felt so dirty that we purchased cleaning products to clean the floor. The numerous dirty Swiffer pads it took to clean the floors confirmed the lack of cleanliness.
Manager Response:
Thank you for your feedback. In the future, please let the office know if you have any issues with the cleanliness of the unit because we would of taken care of this immediately.

Our first time to Longboat Key was amazing! The condo was clean, spacious, has a beautiful kitchen, and was very conveniently located on the ground floor for an easy walk on the path to the beach!

This condo had everything that was needed for a family of 4, with two children under 4. From high chair to pack and play. It was convenient to beach and pool. They had everything beach toys, umbrella, and towels and more. They had s washer and dryer in the unit also that made it convenient to wash clothes anytime. The couch and chairs were very comfortable. They had to replace the air conditioner unit, but it was very professional and quick and didn’t disrupt our day. It was a great place to stay! Will definitely be back!
