We loved our stay here at Sandy Pointe condos. The unit we stayed in was meticulously kept, clean and very well appointed with everything you could need. Plenty of linens, towels, beach towels, kitchen items, etc. Location was perfect and walking distance to Publix, Walgreens, plenty of shopping spots, Manatee Beach and dining options. We did not use the pool at all. That's not why we come to Florida. A couple of items I feel need to be mentioned, the guest bedroom does not have a television and it you have someone handicapped or with limited mobility, the several flights of stairs may be a challenge as there are no elevators. A couple in my group has bad knees and hips, but we managed. Overall we loved it here and would stay again.
