Great location

The property location can’t be beat. Well equipped with beach gear. Beds were comfortable but pillows were not - bring your own. The management office was very nice. There were a few bugs in the place that put a damper on the trip. Could have been due to all the rain from the hurricane.

Great Stay overall!

This condo was really nice and the views were amazing! On our first night, we did have two large cockroaches in the kitchen area. I sent a message on VRBO but never got a response. In the morning, I went to the front office and told them. They sent pest control later the same day. We had no more problems after that. There were some issues with the TV volume cutting in and out on several channels were tried to watch. Other than that, everything was great and we really enjoyed our vacation!

Fantastic location and lots of space

We loved our visit to Longboat Key and Sand Cay. The property grounds were beautiful and well kept. The condo was clean, updated, and well stocked with kitchen items for cooking meals. The patio is perfect for watching the beach for morning coffee, lunch, dinner and sunset! The only recommendation I have will be shared with the owner as it is minor and would not keep me from renting this condo. In fact, I will be looking ahead to see when we can travel to Sand Cay again.

Overall, the condo was nice, but a bit dated. We did find a couple of large cockroaches within the unit; so that was disturbing. I recommend that the unit be sprayed for bugs more regularly..
