Unit #205

Sand Cay Beach Resort Gulf View

2 Beds
2 Baths
6 Sleeps
Minimum stay is 3 nights, may vary by unit and by season. Units are also available for weekly and monthly rental.

Experience spectacular views from this beautifully appointed and well-located Gulf View (Close to Gulf Front) unit! Now is a great time to come on down to the beach for a relaxing visit in a spacious self-contained condominium (independent HVAC system) that makes it easy to maintain social distancing and stay safe.

This pristine unit has a fully updated kitchen, baths and furniture. The sunlit kitchen features white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and is fully stocked. The dining area and balcony have direct gulf views and are wonderful places to enjoy Longboat Key’s world-famous sunsets. The unit sleeps 6 with a king bed in the master suite, twin beds in the guest bedroom, and pull-out sofabed. There is also an exceptionally large and comfortable daybed in the den area perfect for curling up with a book or using as a twin bed. For your entertainment, televisions are located in the living room area and both bedrooms. To provide a truly turnkey experience, the unit also contains collections of books, games, movies, pool and beach toys, a portable crib, high chair, beach cooler and beach towels.

Your complete comfort and satisfaction is important to us, so we make sure our unit is continually updated. Recent 2023 additions include new living area flooring and furniture and fresh new décor.

The complex features a heated pool, shuffleboard court, full tennis court and an immaculate private, white sandy beach. Other free guest amenities include a common laundry facility located next to the main office, outdoor barbeque grills, a picnic area overlooking the Gulf and plentiful chaise lounges on the beach.

This property is ideally located mid-key, close to a myriad of shops, restaurants, activities and museums. We are just a few miles from Mote Marine, St. Armand’s Circle, and the popular Bridge Street area on Anna Maria Island. Boat and bike rentals, kayak tours, parasailing, golf, fishing and so much more are all nearby. For meals, you can pick up groceries at Publix or gourmet takeout at Harry’s, both of which are just down the street. Or dine out at a wide array of restaurants right on the Key, including a beach bar and fine dining right next door at the Zota Beach Resort. Many casual restaurants are in the area, or you can opt for world class dining at the new Shore or Mar Vista restaurants on the north end of the island.

We look forward to welcoming you to our family, and hope you will enjoy the quaint and quiet family atmosphere of our boutique resort, which our guests tell us they prefer over the impersonal nature of a hotel. We hope you will return year after year and continue to make magical LBK

Disappointed

Manager Response:

Hi Arlene, We are so sorry that you were disappointed with your stay. The weather was absolutely beautiful while you were here. During your stay with us we were having the walkways gem stoned and they are all complete and look fantastic! Unfortunately to do that we did have to tape off some of the walkways so that the gem stone could be applied and dry. We apologize for any disturbance that you had during your stay with us, and hope to see you soon! Sand Cay Beach Resort

This was our first stay at Sand Cay Resort. We were very impressed. The property as a whole is kept very nicely - landscaping, flowers, cleanliness, beach, pool - all great. The staff in the front office could not have been friendlier as well as other staff we came across on the property. The unit we stayed in, 205, had great views of the water. It was clean and tidy and had just about everything one would need for a visit. Very spacious and comfortable. Having an elevator to access the second floor was much appreciated, just from the loading and unloading of a weeks worth of gear we brought. Let alone groceries. An umbrella for the patio table was the only item missing that would have have made the stay perfect.

Sand Cay is amazing... the grounds, pool, staff, location and beach are perfect. I won't stay at unit 205 ever again. Needs carpet replaced badly, updates and even has a cracked window. Moldy shower curtains..gross, great beach view, This unit has way more potential.

Manager Response:

Hi Theresa, We want to thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy day to leave us this five star review! The owner continually updates her units and has recently replaced all carpet, the shower curtain you mentioned, the dishwasher and most living room furniture. In addition, new Adirondack counter height chairs have been added to the balcony to enable you to comfortably enjoy morning coffee or our famous Longboat Key sunsets-Happiness Is!! Happiness is!! If there is ever a time when you are staying here with us and something needs replacing such as a shower curtain, please be sure to let us know about it as we would have sent housekeeping back to take care of that for you. Your comfort is key while you are staying here with us! We look forward to seeing you again soon!! Sand Cay Beach Resort
