What we liked: dining/breakfast area with windows, spacious entry with nook to hang hats/towels/shoes, and open concept renovated/beach feel living room. Location. Pool. Free community ice maker. Landscaping/grounds. Chairs/coolers/beach items in storage closet.
Where things fell short: water stains on ceilings, nail holes and marks on walls where things used to hang, dated/cheap kitchen, kitchen sink faucet that you had to muscle to turn on and no spray nozzle, splatter on kitchen cabinets/walls that hadn't been wiped down, old stove and dishwasher, minimal kitchen accessories (more prep bowls, corning ware, etc.), small toilets, very dated and small bathrooms, tubs/doors in showers not clean and showing rust/mold on doors/caulking, broken blind on patio door lying behind tv stand, no gas grills and charcoal community grills are in full sun, no ceiling fans, DVD is not blue ray, old stained light switches, no washer and dryer in the unit (community washer/dryers), only get 2 garbage bags and 2 dish pods for 7 days, no towel exchange (beach towels were sour after 7 days). We were vacationing during the red tide. I understand their is not much Sand Cay can do about the tide but my biggest criticism is that you do have management control over the beach area. Only after people complained was their a single clean up of the piles of dead fish and maggots on the beach. I only saw this once in the 7 days we stayed. We avoided using the beach area in front of Sand Cay. We instead visited family a few resorts down who cleaned their beach every single morning. Our family paid the same per night for a completely renovated condo at a different condo complex. I was not dissatisfied with our unit but I think their are nicer places for the same money. This unit has so much potential but owner is not putting money into it. I had greater expectations for what we paid.
