Beautiful view

Condo was clean and accurately depicted online. Everything we needed for our stay was available. We loved the grounds and they’re maintained very well. The pool is nice and big and beachfront was amazing. Sara in the office was so helpful as this was our first time at Sand Cay. Very friendly and professional. We have been coming to LBK for years and tried Sand Cay for the first time.. it was our favorite.. we will definitely be back. The view from the condo was spectacular. Sunset in the evening and watched dolphins while drinking coffee in the morning. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
