Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We return to Sand Cay year after year. It’s a gorgeous property right on the beach. The condos are always clean and comfortable with lovely views. The pool and beach are both fun because the staff ensures there are plenty of toys for the kiddos to use. We live to use the community grills while there too. And it’s an easy drive to restaurants and activities alike. The icing on the cake is the lovely staff. They go above and beyond to make us feel at home. We can’t wait for next year!

Oceanfront Perfection

Unit #217 at Sand Cay Resort offered the perfect oceanfront location with a stunning view. What can be better than seeing dolphins frolicking in the ocean from both the living room and kitchen windows. A short walk from the condo and you are in the ocean. Love that Sand Cay provides lounge chairs and umbrellas. Both the ladies in the office are super helpful and such a pleasure! The location of the resort is convenient to all points of interest in Sarasota and Anna Maria Island. Can’t wait to be able to return!

The beach was the beach and hot for this time of year as expected. The only issue was the very loud music between two separate groups at the pool on the 27th.
