Vacation

Great location, pool area great and beach area fantastic! Love the close proximity to Anna Maria Island and close to a few restaurants. Wish there had been a chair or 2 in the room as the only place to sit was the bed or bar stool.

Silver Sands #257A on Longboat Key is a winner

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay and that we were steps away from a beautiful white sand private beach right on the Gulf. The property is very quiet and the room is comfortable and clean and is a great base for a short term vacation on Longboat Key - only drawbacks was the bed could use some improvement (too soft) and the grills in the pool area did not work while we were there. But those were minor issues that can be easily corrected and this property and location were an excellent value for this area.

Quick Weekend Getaway

We were looking to get a quick weekend getaway without the kids and this was great. The room was very clean, housekeeping everyday, and just a few feet from the beach. The beach chairs and umbrellas were a great addition.

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect February getaway from the cold northern winter for my husband and I. The room was nicely decorate, efficient, clean, and best of all steps away from a spectacular beach! The office staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our stay easy and pleasant. We'd definitely come back!

Weekend getaway

Great location, near restaurants and quiet setting right on the beach. Miniature golf on sight. Comfortable mattress, and enough amenities to allow for simple meals, snacks, and breakfasts. First time staying on Longboat Key. We plan to return!

Silver Sands has easy access to a beautiful private beach and the heated pool is a wonderful option - all just steps from our room. The staff is very friendly and encouraged us to report any issues to them - and offered good suggestions for dining in the area nearby - Harry's less than a half mile down the street has terrific food whether you go to the restaurant or their grocery with to go options. Our only complaints are that while the room was comfortable and clean and met our needs - the bed was a bit soft and hard on the back. Also, the gas grills by the pool did not work while we were there. But, all in all this is a great option for a short term stay on Longboat Key and we would recommend it!

We love Silver Sands!

We got married on the beach at Longboat Key! So romantic and peaceful. Silver Sands is amazing, very clean and the pool is beautiful and so clean. Margaret at the front office is so nice and accommodating. This was our second year staying here but not our last! We love it here!

The resort was as advertised. Perfect size for my husband and myself. The office manager was very helpful and friendly. The resort has beach towels, beach loungers, beach umbrellas…very convenient for us. The beach is very quiet. The ocean was beautiful..full of wildlife. We loved being right on the beach.

A+ Will Stay Again!

We booked our stay very last minute and couldn't of been happier with our experience. Margaret was exceptional, give the woman a raise! The amenities were exactly what we needed for a one night stay on the beach, but we could have spent the week. My husband and I will absolutely seek out another trip to Silver Sands, no question.
