Our rental was very nice. We have stayed here several times and it is always quiet and the staff is friendly.
Stay was great. Pool was warm. Condo was clean and had everything we needed! Kid/family friendly which was the only downfall for us, but we knew that when booking!
Will work was going on at the property we thought they were very professional and still had use of all the facilities .It was nice as we enjoyed the pool and easy access to the beach. We enjoyed our stay there very much. Thank you!
We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation at Silver Sands. The unit was very clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly. It was steps to the beautiful beach and pool, no need to save chairs, there were plenty. Several restaurants were within walking distance. The weather was perfect!We will be back!
Great location, friendly staff, vrbo needs updated cooking pots/pans dishes, etc. Probably to be expected after the hurricane, but if open, then these need to be updated so people staying have the ability to eat in while there. Otherwise, great stay, all you need for the beach!

My daughter and I were pleasantly surprised how clean and comfortable was the rooms at the Silver Sands Resort. We've been coming to Longboat Key for about 40 years and hadn't noticed this place. We especially liked the kindness of the staff and the closeness to the beach. We walked every morning for about 4 miles.

We had 3 different units for our family get-together. We had a great time! We used the BBQ grill a few times. The place is maintained well. Margaret, in the office was the best! Always smiling and a great help if we needed anything. She was friendly and great with the kids. There were plenty of pool and beach toys for the kids. We greatly appreciated the available lounge chairs and umbrellas. Will be planning another stay soon!

Nice Unit. Small, but comfortable. Clean, good water pressure in the shower. Mattress was too soft for me, but was fine. The light in the bathroom, also turns on the fan. Little annoying.Short walk to the beach! Staff was helpful. I would stay there again.

Reviewer Comments:
VERY CLEAN!! The complex is older but very well maintained. The Unit was roomy, quiet location in complex even though next to parking; the trees and shrubs give you a lot of privacy, especially as an end unit. Kitchen well equipped and CLEAN! Good water pressure, HOT water, lots of towels, pullout couch. Bed is a full-size, small but cozy and comfy. Nice enclosed/screened patio with a table and chairs; again CLEAN! Good HVAC. Only suggestion would be to replace the bed pillows, but we always bring our own so it was not an issue.

Pleasant, quiet, clean
The place was clean and close to excellent restaurants. We assumed we were staying in the two story building but were in the rooms attached to the office. Had full kitchen and everything you need. The only downside...had lots of rain but that's Florida at this time of year!
We had a relaxing, peaceful stay at Silver Sands right on a beautiful 10 mile beach. Our efficiency was comfortable and cozy with a functional kitchen for cooking in. We had access to umbrellas and chairs for the beach and poolside. Lots to do if you wanted to venture out or stay and walk the beautiful endless beach. We will be back!
