Great place for a long weekend

We stayed at The Sands for a long weekend. The condo was very clean and had great amenities. We appreciated the concierge services. We hope to come back when it's a little warmer so we can spend more time lazing on the comfortable screened porch. Thanks for a great stay.

An amazing stay!

We had a great time at this unit. It was really clean, had good supplies for the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. The location was great, about half way b/w Times Square and Lover's Key. The neighborhood was quiet, had great views up the canal and was just a short walk from the beach. We'd definitely rent this one again!
