Reviewer Comments:
Kitchen table is too high, not beg enough. Only two chairs which are very difficult to get in/out of. Kitchen supplies are really bad. Bed is too high as well. Great view but that's about all it has going for it.

Reviewer Comments:
Silver Sands looks exactly like the photos. Everything was clean. The only complaint I would have is that the shower curtain liner was dirty, which is so gross. A new liner should be put up after each guest. The bathroom looks new and was very clean except for the shower liner. The bed and pillow were ok. The kitchen is stocked with enough for a small family or a couple people. The view is perfect. It is a bit of a walk for someone that may not be in the best of shape to get to the room as it's located all the way in the back and up a flight of stairs. The pool looked great, unfortunately due to a tropical storm it was closed. Plenty of beach chairs available. I would return.

Silver Sands #250 is a hidden gem ~ a beautiful rental in a great location! The description was accurate and the unit was very clean. Superior appliances, plumbing fixtures and furnishings were utilized in the fresh remodel. The large screened in porch provided relaxing & spectacular views at any time of the day, but dinner & drinks while watching the beautiful sunsets was especially amazing! The pool was large, clean and surrounded by lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas. Silver Sands management and staff were friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely look into this specific unit on a return to Longboat Key!

The unit was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking utensils. There was a small cooler which was an unexpected pleasant surprise. The location was great. The ocean was the backyard. The pool was bigger than I expected. I was very happy I found this at the last minute.

We had a very relaxing stay at Silver Sands. The rental unit was very comfortable. It did feel like "old Florida" style, which is a good thing! Nice grounds, pool was fantastic, putting green was an added bonus! The beach here was quiet and perfect!

Reviewer Comments:
Family of four, we stayed for 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed our trip we loved the room, and lived how close to the Gulf we were. Great view and screened patio protected is from mosquitos! Perfect! Thanks so much!
Very friendly at the front desk, supply beach towels, there are chairs but not a lot, we brought our own and glad we did. Pool is nice, porch was screened in which does distort view some. Overall, great stay and would come back. No elevator, that I noticed anyway, so if you aren’t great with stairs and carrying luggage up keep that in mind.
This was a wonderful unit, only steps to the beach. The evening sunsets from the screened in porch were beautiful! Can't wait to return!
