I Don't Mind Saying It ... Perfect!

All the previous reviews are spot-on. The condo is squeaky clean and the owners have focused on so many comfy, homey details than I can't list them all.
That view from the balcony is utterly unforgettable (seriously, you can't get enough of it from the 4th floor location less than half a football field from the waters edge). Sandra and Jay were an easy delight to work with ... from the time we booked last January until getting our deposit returned lightning-fast with a nice hand-written letter thanking us for our stay ... can't ask for better than that!
Sandy Key (the condo complex itself) is a gated, beautifully landscaped property that's well-run and has all the right amenities. It doesn't feel pretentious, yet has two pools, an outdoor hot tub, beach-side picnic and sitting areas, and a workout room that overlooks the gulf. Best of all, it's the last complex before a US national park - Gulf Islands National Seashore - which lies immediately to the east.
I was able to hop on the elevator (just across from the front door of our condo) and be on the beach in less than three minutes. This building is the last one on the east. Strolling down the beach you'll pass six beach houses, one final high-rise, then nothing but undeveloped national beach for the next several miles. Such a treasure, so close, and ... those unforgettable sunrises!
In a word - perfect.
