This particular unit is tiny; just enough room for a double bed. There is a fridge and microwave, but no sink so actually cooking would be a challenge. One window--unopenable-- facing the parking lot. Someone has made a nice effort to decorate the room. The larger property has very nice beach access and the other units appear more attractive.

Room we stayed in could use some updating but other than that had everything we needed. Great pool area overlooking ocean. Fabulous beach area with chairs. Close to several restaurants and activities.

Good short getaway
Our unit was pretty dated and smaller than most hotel rms we stay in, but right on the gulf and a heated pool when it was chilly made it a great choice for a short getaway

Good for the price.
We hadn't stayed on Longboat Key before. Not a big fan of that island. The hotel was old but very clean. The room was very small and the table and chairs in the room should be thrown out. A bit of money would make the place 100% better, but for what it was it wasn't bad. The bed was very uncomfortable sadly, but that's hotels sometimes. The staff was very nice and quick to fix issues.

Paradise Indeed
Silver Sands was such an amazing place to stay. Pool and Ocean steps away...I've personally never seen beauty like this shy of going to an Island in the Caribbean. The staff was amazing...Margaret...YOU were amazing!! The people staying there were super friendly...as were the locals. Super quiet, relaxing...just what I needed for my body and soul!! Will def be returning whenever I can!! A++++++++

Short on a few thing
Only had 1 fork. Would of been nice to have some plastic glasses for poolside refreshments. Beach longers were nice but umbrellas were only available at the office and the cheap. I got a new one from the office but it broke. Would have been nice if the umbrellas were commercial grade and positioned on the beach. Overall, we had a very nice stay.

It was a great little place. Perfect locations, with just enough amenities
The unit I stayed in had a few little glitches. The shower door was off the track, and little things like that. But maintenance was quick to offer to fix it. It didn't bother me, though, and the location was just perfect. The people were lovely too.I am looking forward to retuning. Its a great place, for the price, its really fabulous.
