 A Wonderful Stay!, July 27, 2009
By Rebecca Zak (Cleveland, Ohio)

 Absolutely Perfect!!!!!, June 22, 2009
By Chris Waldeck (Citrus Springs, FL)
Everything was GREAT! This fully furnished condo accomodated my family and friends wonderfully. All we had to do was bring the groceries, everything else was supplied for us. The beach is literally a few steps from the room which was great. I was able to watch my daughter from the balcony while she swam in the pool with her friends...That was a big +. Everything about this place is great. It felt like a home away from home. I recommend taking advantage and cooking on the grills that they have there too! It's a very nice way to spend an evening, having a drink by the ocean, watching the sunset while cooking some delicious food for the family. There's even tables that allow you to eat out there too! Oh and bring your fishing poles!!! I caught some nice snook while i was there!! I plan on making this a regular place to visit and recommend it to anyone planning on vacationing in the area. Enjoy. I did!!

This Place was Awesome! The best Vacation I've had in my life! The Beach was gorgeous, the people were so friendly; and the condo itself was so new and furnished! All I brought was a bag full of clothes, and that's all you really need! This condo was newly renovated, and it showed, top to bottom, room to room! There was a full kitchen, and an eat in dining room, master bedroom, guest bedroom, living room even its own private terrace area overlooking the shore, which is furnished like the rest of the condo! I didn't even mention the dinner that we grilled right on the beach! The condo actually had a courtyard with picnic tables and three well-kept grills! Perfect for our Romantic dinner under the stars!! I can't stop raving about this place to all of my friends and my family, they say I should get paid for advertising, but it's just THAT GOOD!! I cannot stop day dreaming of being back there watching the sun rise, set, collecting dozen's of seashells ... etc!
Owner Supplied Testimonials
Our stay at this property was fantastic. The entire Sand Cay complex is a great layout - including a beautiful pool, nice shuffleboard and tennis courts, picturesque picnic areas and BBQ pits, and extremely easy access to the beach. It was also beautifully kept, and the on site staff was very helpful.

The unit is perfectly located, offers easy access to everything, is nicely appointed and complete with everything you need for your stay. It offers ample room throughout - good sized rooms, kitchen, living room and dining area - plus the deck is great.

The vacation was incredibly convenient. We have three small kids and it could not have been more conducive to a peaceful, fun family vacation. I highly recommend.
John- Colorado
We just returned from Sand Cay. This Condo was lovely. Would stay there again. Location was great. Looks right at the pool and see the ocean from porch. We met up with our 2 daughters from College and our young son. We all had a blast. Cooked and grilled every night. Beautiful beach , lovely grounds.Def would would put this on the top of our best vacations.
