Great Place

It was a short vacation for us, however our short stay was great and wished we had more time. Views of ocean, beach, nice pool, all was enjoyed. The only improvement could be the bathroom shower/ tub was worn out and needs replace or update. Other than that, we will return.

Nice room in a great location

This is our second visit to this property. It is in a great location right on the beach with a nice ocean view. This particular unit is getting a little run down - the couch was quite dirty and stained, the sliding door was fairly rough, and we had trouble with the TV. But overall it was a nice stay.

Great waterfront rental.

Property has a great location and laid back vibe. Decor is functional, but is not furniture in listing pictures. The mattress is very firm. Rental was clean and equipped with everything you need. Loved the large screened in balcony. Pool is nice and was heated, as the temps were in the 70s...rare in October. We enjoyed our stay and plan on renting again.

Not having to chairs or umbrellas was a bonus. We would definitely rent there again.

Beautiful view.

The pictures don’t do the rental justice. We found the place even more inviting and the view from the upper deck is priceless. The beach was not crowded during our stay. The AC worked well. The bed and couch were comfortable. Relaxing environment. We were able to easily visit St Armand Circle one day and Anna Maria the next. Traffic toward Anna Maria is definitely something to be aware of before venturing out, especially if you have a timeline. We highly recommend Silver Sands in Longboat!!

Room needs update

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sofa is particularly dirty. The fire alarm system in the room beside me kept going off. I called maintenance (after hours). The person who answered could not put together even one coherent sentence. she transferred me (after a good amount of time) to someone else who gave me the key code so I could go in to the room myself and take the battery out of the alarm.

Reviewer Comments: Silver Sands was a great place to stay for a long weekend beach trip! Enjoyed playing in the pool as well as the mini golf and shuffle board. Since we had to fly, we really appreciated the complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels! Also loved the super short walk to the beach. Would definitely return to Silver Sands in the future and recommend it to others.
