The room was clean. Building and grounds are well maintained. Beach was wonderful.
If you are looking for a quiet getaway, this is your place. Located right on the beach. Beautiful heated pool. Everything I needed for my 4 night stay. I took a 3 mile drive to Coquina beach and took the free ferry out to the pier. Sarasota is a short drive south and there were lots of cute shops. Great place, I would definitely return.

A/C was terrible, and so loud. Moisture in room was high - everything felt wet. Plumbing issues. Bed was hard as a board. Proximity to beach was a plus, as was the availability of chairs and umbrellas.

Reviewer Comments:
Our room was very clean but smelled horribly of disinfectant. We had to open the door and turn on the bathroom fan for ventilation. Our bed was comfortable and the resort was calm and quiet. The property was well maintained. The day before out checkout we received a list of chores that we had to complete before we left. We were required to strip the beds and place our towels and linens on the floor; we also were required to empty the garbage, and put the bag in the dumpster. Was this not part of our $100 cleaning fee?

Perfect location on Long Boat Key, right on the beach with heated pool and just down the street from Harry's deli where we got beach lunch to-go several days. The accommodations are modest and resort is smaller, but everything you need for a few relaxing days in the Florida sunshine. Great value and would choose to stay here on our next trip to Long Boat Key.

Silver sands Location is fine. Unit was good but ti y ( no sink or stove) vs other units we've stayed at at silver sands, a little hotelly vs resorty. Parking was tight. Residents were fine. Desk person, Margaret was great. Received a notice by email from rva that we didn't read til after we’d left regarding the check out process ( strip sheets , remove garbage ,etc) that was not part of our check in notes or in the unit, so we hadn’t done.

Overall experience was great, the only complaint was there was no coffee cups, but just used a glass that was in the cabinet. I guess if that's the biggest complaint, then I really had nothing to complain about. Beautiful beach in a great location.
