Always great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s always a wonderful time at Sand Cay during Easter weekend. We love coming back year after year. The kitchen amenities along with bedding need to upgraded and standardized. The sheets are paper thin and I’m unsure if the comforters are regularly washed.

Great view, room a little tired

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this unit was spectacular. The unit itself was tired and worn. The mattresses were awful. The dishwasher was broken and it couldn't be fixed during our stay. The windows were filthy and it took away from the beautiful view. However, the general cleanliness of the units was very, very good. The bathrooms were very clean as well as the kitchen. But they really need to invest in some new mattresses!

needs updates

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good location, unit needs updates. Soon as we got there and sat on bed, a table lamp fell off the wall. we reported it next day, they said maintenance would fix it, they never came. items for beach were all in bad shape, umbrella had no matching pieces, so we had to buy some, cooler was broken. starter items provided are extremely cheap for what you pay, cheapest toilet paper, coffee, etc. Also, would be nice to at least provide a couple bottles of water and welcome snack, got there late, nothing open, absolutely nothing to eat or drink in unit. We were here for wedding, I would stay somewhere else for price.

Perfect location and well stocked kitchen. Needs new twin beds.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a girls wknd for 4 adult women. The property is beachfront, steps to the water. Well stocked with towels, kitchen appliances and supplies. There was even a pop-up tent we could use. The master had a wonderfully comfortable bed. The guest room has two twin beds that had no mattress cover and felt like you are laying on box springs. The most uncomfortable bed I have ever been on. There were two of us sharing the room, so we opted to try the pull-out couch a different night. Same torture. It would really be a deal breaker to go back and stay there again if there is not a change. That was our only complaint. Absolutely loved the location!

Weather was a blessing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While we stayed at the resort we had terrible weather. Cold and rainy witch turned out to be a blessing because the tenant next to use came out screaming at my wife and family while we were on the shared porch. So with bad weather we were able to go do other stuff around the island and surrounding area. All of the other people staying at the resort and the staff that I met were wonderful. Unfortunately the bad experience with the way the condos are set up with shared porches on certain units means we will not be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this unit is tops, right by the beach, and front row seats to sunsets. But, the place itself is tired and needs updating. Chipped paint, mix matched plates, cups, silverware... Bottom line for the price it should be in better shape.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Sand Cay for many years. This year our grandchildren came as well and they are the fourth generation to vacation at Sand Cay. We love the area and we had a nice vacation. We did notice the rentals have become a bit dated although they provided what we needed. Our unit was not very clean and several pieces of furniture were in need of repair. It did lack a few things that would be helpful in the kitchen but we managed.

Good location, but unit desperately in need of updating.

Nicely situated condo. Ground and building exterior well maintained and in excellent shape. Amenities accurate as listed. Kitchen was fine with newer basic appliances. Overall condition is tired. In need of updated bathrooms or at a minium, a good cleaning of molded grout. Beds are old and need to be replaced. Twin beds are child-sized, not suitable for teens or adults, and like sleeping on a concrete slab. Walls and ceilings are not soundproofed enough to muffle residents upstairs.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: During our stay encountered many issues with our unit. The unit was very outdated which led to our issues. Extra bed (sofa bed) broken which led to using an air mattress for a week, outlets smoking, toilets not flushing properly. All linens were old as well as bedroom furniture. All in all this unit needs to be taken off the rental program until a complete overhaul of the condo is complete. Not worth the money when you can stay next door at a resort for same price.

Needs bathroom updates and noisy upstairs guests

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is 2 time we have stayed at sandcay and selected this unit because the kitchen was updated. There was a broken cabinet door in the kitchen, the blind over the kitchen window was broken. As far as tv service it sucked in the bedrooms as well as the mattresses. The towel bar in the master bath was cracked that someone would cut their hand on it . There were no floor fans to mask the noise from upstairs nor did the overhead fan work correctly. I would have rented another unit if the property manager had steered me to. We were very disappointed and uncomfortable the entire stay!!️
