Enjoy warm sunny days in this tastefully appointed beachfront condominium. This ground floor end unit feels more like a private home surrounded by landscaping, grassy lawn and the beautiful white sand beach of the Gulf of Mexico. The beach is right in front of the condo without any buildings or obstructions to block the gulf view.
The beach is 10 miles long and has a soft, sandy bottom. There is no coral or rocks to harm your feet and the gulf gradually gets deeper the further you walk from shore. It is the perfect swimming beach for beach lovers of all kinds. When not on the beach, swim in the heated pool, play tennis or just have dinner and cocktails on your private patio while you watch the sunset.
The condo is comfortable, tastefully decorated and fully equipped for the perfect beach front vacation. Whether you're looking for complete privacy or a great vacation with the kids, you'll find it here. The master bedroom has a brand new, king-size, Sealy Posturepedic mattress and boxspring, a private bath, two large closets, and a 32" flat screen TV, and DVD player. The second bedroom has two brand new Seally Posturepedic twin beds with TV and DVD. The family room has a queen size sleeper sofa with a 47" HDTV, DVD and VCR. Of course, there is high speed wireless internet! If you are interested in eating in, the kitchen is equipped for a gourmet cook.

In November 2008, the resort completed a four year reconstuction project. All building exteriors have been rebuilt with new stucco, doors, windows, patios, landscaping and exterior lighting. The resort is well-known for its friendly atmosphere and a full-time on-site condominium staff. Every renter will receive a personalized information guide listing our favorite family restaurants, "things to do" on and off the island, and general information about the condo and surrounding area. This guide will help you feel more like a "local".
Only minutes away by car are excellent restaurants and world-class shops, restaurants, and galleries of St. Armands Circle. Sarasota's theatre and cultural district is only a ten minute drive. Nearby, Sarasota and Bradenton offer more than 50 golf courses. Bike, jog or walk the ten mile long paved path along Gulf of Mexico Drive or walk the 10 mile long beach.
Longboat Key is one of Florida's most beautiful barrier islands where you can enjoy the comforts and convenience of this vacation retreat among this beautiful and secluded island paradise.

Why the Owner Chose Sand Cay Beach
The incredible beauty of the island is what initially attracted us to Longboat Key. However, it was the serenity, feeling of security and the friendliness of the resort that made it our perfect beach front retreat.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
The view of the Gulf of Mexico from the condo is outstanding!
The condo is a ground floor, end unit with no buildings or obstuctions to block your view of the gulf. All resort amenities (swimming pool, tennis court, etc.) are located further into the condominium complex; close enough to be very convenient yet just far enough for privacy sake. There is a lot of lawn area surrounding the condo making the unit feel more like a private home.
