Amazing Getaway at a Beautiful Beach Sept 2023

The condo view was amazing! The location is perfect for a quick walk (few steps) down to the beach. This unit was at the end of the building, beach front with the pool at the other end. The beach was quiet and peaceful. There were few people, even with the neighboring resorts, which made it perfect for our stay. The sitting area furniture, near the balcony door, doesn't match the photos (wicker) and the sofa in the living area was peeling in spots along the bottom and top. The outside is very dark at night, no bright lights due to turtle nesting, so we didn't sit outside after sunset. If you like higher elevation to sleep, bring a few extra pillows for the master suite. One suggestion to the resort is to add a few paddle boards, kayaks and a couple of bikes to rent for the guests. Otherwise, our vacation was perfect! I highly recommend Sand Cay Beach Resort for those seeking a nice, relaxing, quiet sanctuary right on the beach that is still close to shopping, resteraunts and lively entertainment. The resort staff were friendly and helpful.

Not pleased with unit #203

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: The unit was very dated. For 3K+ for a week rental I expected a much nicer unit. From the mismatched dishes, glasses, rusted stove & fridge to the electrical plugs being dangerously wired, internet not working & employee blaming us for using a plug to charge a cell phone which caused the internet not to work, plug should have been marked not to use but wasn’t. The living room furniture was lawn furniture, not comfortable at all, the other couch was so old the fake leather was pealing off, looked like something from the 80’s. Looked like owners use this space for all their old stuff, stuff they no longer want, very disappointing to say the least. We have vacationed at Sand Cay for over 30 yrs, worst room we’ve ever stayed in. Won’t stay in this unit again! Owners need a set a matching plates, glasses, plastic cups, a complete sets of silverware, not a bunch of mismatched forks & knives, a good set of knives & more than 4 spoons would have been nice! Very disappointing! View was great!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We had a wonderful stay at Sand Cay. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The office staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The unit we stayed it was very well equipped with everything from cooking needs to beach needs. The dining room table was large enough for my entire family to eat at! However, the kitchen does need to be updated. The stove/ oven was rusty and the kitchen space itself is only big enough for 2 adults to be in at 1 time! Other than the kitchen issue , everything else was great! We will definitely be returning next year!

Sand Cay 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We really enjoy Sand Cay- it is a wonderful resort. Our unit was very clean (kudos to housekeeping) but not in the best shape this year, and considering the cost, it seemed it should have been better (203). The dining light did not work, the slider screen was broken, The lamps were old and dingy looking. Bathrooms were nice but the kitchen was minimally stocked for cooking (cheap pots and pans, very few glasses- dishes minimally ok) The icemaker was nice to have and the new dishwasher was great. The kitchen felt old and very outdated- not so nice to cook in. Both kitchen windows could not open (no crank), one window in living area also would not open. The furniture was ok but there was a general moisture smell to the condo. Maybe the AC filter needs regular replacement? In general ,a beautiful location but if a guest is charged this amount, the unit should be updated. Thank you for hosting us as guests!

The staff were friendly and helpful. Not a super fancy resort but for our purposes it was perfect. Our unit has beach front views which were spectacular especially at sunset. We had no problems with noise. Our unit was somewhat dated and kitchen could have been better stocked with utensils etc. but we have no major complaints.

First Time, Great Time!

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: Our family had a great time at Sand Cay in Unit 203, 1 of a several units here that have a perfect view. The beach, pool and access to both was amazing for the kids that like to go back and forth to both multiple times a day. Tennis court, shuffle board and free laundry were great amenities. The only thing we noticed was unit 203 needed some flooring updated in the bathrooms, other than that it worked very well with 6 of us. Thanks again Sand Cay for making this a great family vacation!!!
