Great View! Needs Upgrades!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: 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.

Quick beach visit

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: 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.

Fantastic All Around

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Awesome view

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.

Beautifully Decorated and Beautiful Scenery But a Couple Issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spotless, beautiful, and as advertised in the pictures. The concrete steps & no elevator was really scary to us on the 2nd Flr. There's a bad mold problem in the bedroom. My wife's ear was bleeding, & she got a bad ear/sinus infection. Are de-humidifiers offered? We also wished more trolley stops nearby. Also, wished we had our list of cleaning duties alerted to us b4 we returned home from our 5 hour ride. Coffee for every day of our stay would have been nice, & that powdered creamer is poison if you read ingredients. Parking was good.
