About this property

Updated Beach Style Condo at Sand Cay with Great Ocean Views.

Our condo has everything you will need for a relaxing vacation on the beach.

The island of Longboat Key...
... is one of the most beautiful places in Florida. Longboat was voted the second most favored island in North America, according to a survey by a nationally recognized travel magazine. Daytime excursions are numerous, so that your holiday will never be without plenty of activity. Orlando and Tampa, with their fabulous theme parks are within easy reach, and the nearby parks offer the local flora and fauna, and numerous animal attractions such as flamingos and alligators. Shopping and restaurants of all varieties are nearby as well. Everything you need to make your vacation perfect is within reach.

Sand Cay Beach Resort...
... sits right in the middle of Longboat, and invites you to enjoy the beach, the park, and the newly renovated buildings. The resort garden looks beautiful. Beach furniture, grills, washing machines, WiFi and and more are free of charge for you. The friendly people at the office are gladly there to you.

Our condo...
... was entirely updated to include a kitchen with granite countertops and new appliances, beautiful new hardwood floors, new bathrooms, and painting and decor tastefully furnished in Caribbean style. The high quality equipment includes Bluetooth Bose radio, big 2022 Samsung smart TV and partially Villeroy & Boch kitchen accessories. The condo has direct views of the Gulf of Mexico as well as the open courtyard and pool. Our little piece of paradise faces to the south and brings in beautiful and ample light into the unit. At breakfast on the patio, with soft morning sun, you can hear the lap of the waves as you look out over the Gulf of Mexico. Watch pelicans and sometimes dolphins from the patio. It is gorgeous.

We would like to welcome you as a guest of our private resort condominium. If you have any questions about your trip, we are happy to provide any advice you might need.

Gulf view retreat

This checked all of the boxes for a wonderful vacation retreat. The only thing we noticed is that the bedding and living room furniture could be updated. However, this did not affect our stay. We would definitely book this place again.

Oceanview Retreat

Looked for a few day stay in Longboat Key and came across this condo. Via the description, it ticked all the boxes. Communication was easy with detailed instructions for our stay. When we arrived I can honestly say this condo exceeded our expectations. It had everything you could need, and then some. And that ocean view from the large living room window and balcony was absolutely beautiful.

Perfect Beach Getaway!

Perfect condo for a great vacation at the beach! Beautiful view of the shore/beach from the patio. You can also easily view the pool from kitchen and dining room area. The condo management were super helpful. The beach was stunning. The condo had all the needed amenities to fix all 3 meals daily. Highly recommend this condo unit and Sand Cay!

Lovely LBK

Lovely condo on LBK with views of the beach. The beach is literally yards from the condo. The condo itself is clean and has everything you need for your stay. The pool was great although they had to turn the heated water off as a combination of the heated water and the weather made it more like a hot tub! Would recommend this condo to anyone wanting to stay on LBK.

Beautiful View of the Gulf

The unit had a great view of the gulf with a wide open window. It was spacious and quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked and everything you may need for the beach was provided for us, including a cooler, chairs, umbrellas and boogie board. The patio was a little tight but we appreciated the high top seating and lounge chair. The property was well maintained and clean. Property management was very nice and accommodating. This was our first visit to LBK and didn’t know what to expect. It was a little too quiet for our family. We would have liked a cafe, eatery or bar to walk too, but if you like quiet, this is the place to be.
