Thank you for your review, we hope to see you again.
The property was very well maintained and very close to the beach. The only surprising thing was that the bedrooms did not have dressers. We had nightstands but basically, we lived out of the suitcases. Small price to pay for such a wonderful property. Would rebook this place in a heartbeat!

A beautiful view and nicely decorated. My mom came with us and we let her have the master bedroom. Me and hubby took the room with the twin beds. Exhausted from a day of traveling when I laid down it felt like I was laying on a Brick! Ended up sleeping on the couch the rest of the week.

We had a wonderful stay at Sand Cay Resort. Our rental was newly renovated, so fresh and clean with great views of the water. The beach was right out the door for long walks/ running, bocce and enjoying! And who doesn't love the gulf of Mexico views and sunsets?For our personal needs, the MB closet was small, so since we didn't need the other bedroom, we used that one.We also missed having gas grills, they were all charcoal grills. So we enjoyed the local restaurants and cooked in the well stocked kitchen! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We’ve been coming to Sand Cay for 32 years. Our daughters grew up coming here and both had their honeymoon here. Our family comes down as much as possible. It is very family friendly, has a great beach and pool. We’ve stayed in many units and they have always been clean and well equipped. Unit 103 is updated, very comfortable, offers an extra den/sleeping space and has panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico. We loved our stay and will be renting this unit in the Fall of this year! Thank you to the office personnel for helping make our stay an amazing one; especially Sarah!

Overall the condo was ok but the windows were awful. If I owned that condo I would wash the windows monthly. It was such a great view but with the windows so dirty it was awful.
What a total surprise. Beautiful condo right on the beach. Sunset views from huge windows. Everything provided to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable.

Thank you for the great review! Hope to see you soon.
The location of the unit is great. Just steps away from the beach, pool and barbecue grill.
The unit is well stocked with amenities. As stated in a previous review it could use some updates by the owner. No storage space for dry groceries and area rugs could be replaced. Out door mats would help with the sand. I would however return for another stay. The resort needs to keep a better eye on the pool conditions
Great location, steps to beach. Definately will be back

Our our second stay at Sand Cay resort. Wonderful amenities. The pool is great and we loved our unit. Great to have a washer and dryer and the steps from the beach. Only issue is there’s no place to put the food so we had to place things on the counter. No real complaints and would go back again in a heartbeat.
