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!

We have stayed at Silver Sands for several years, and the front desk staff is always very friendly and helpful. The unit is immaculately clean, with beautiful, comfortable furnishings. The view is incredible. The only thing is that the beach chairs could use some cleaning/updating, as some are missing straps or dirty.

This was our second stay at Silver Sands. It is the PERFECT location and setting on the gulf. The unit was newly renovated and very comfortable. Being on the second floor this time, the views were amazing. The steps were a little tough to navigate with luggage and such but we managed. The management are very responsive and great to deal with. Would definitely stay again!

My young adult daughters stayed here with us for a week and it was a wonderful place to stay. The beach and pool we’re great. We really enjoyed Cedars fitness and racquet sports across the street and found it a completely relaxing time. The unit itself is a gem. Newly updated and clean. The king size bed is very comfortable. There was one issue that was disappointing and didn’t seem to fit with the rest of the experience and that was the pull out sofa where my daughters slept. It was uncomfortable to sit in as a couch, well worn and stained. That would’ve been tolerable, but the pull out bed was really bad, they were actually extra cushions stuffed under the mattress to help. It was very uncomfortable and my girls said they would’ve preferred an air mattress. The place is so great if we go again we will just take an air mattress. Management and staff were fantastic.

I thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of your vacation retreat on Longboat. I only had a few days there when I helped my son move to the area for a new job. After driving through the night from Indiana and unloading the truck up a flight of stairs, I was pleasantly surprised to find the unit was stocked with coffee! They also provided paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, bath soap, shampoo, hair dryer ... all the amenities of a hotel. The unit was very neat and clean and the view was beautiful. My only suggestion would be if you ever do replace the patio table and chairs replace it with a bar height set. The cross bar on the screens really blocks your view when sitting in the chairs. I kept thinking I was missing a dolphin swimming by! &#xD83D;&#xDE09;. Thank you for sharing your home. I hope to make that my go to spot when visiting my son.

Memorial Day Weekend

I had a lovely time at Silver Sands over Memorial Day weekend with my husband. There was a 3 day minimum due to the holiday weekend. Visitors of ours who were there for the day were able to get a parking pass at the nearby Cedar’s East Tennis Club, & we shuttled them back to us with their beach items. The room was clean with large fridge, screened balcony, & dishwasher with packets of soap included. Cutting board, knives, pans, glass casserole dishes, tongs, colander, bottle opener, and other kitchen conveniences were appreciated. We even found a broom in the AC closet that came in handy due to the dragged-in sand! The 2 propane grills by the pool were useful, but the one my husband used hadn’t been cleaned properly by previous users, so heating elements were coated with grease and he had a small grease fire to deal with. He put it out, and we finished everything up in the oven and microwave. Great staff, grounds (shuffleboard, corn hole, putt putt) and housekeeping! We would definitely stay here again!

We have been coming to this unit for years. I have seen a decline in the service on our last two visits. We stayed three nights and the room service was not what it used to be. Our trash was emptied only once in three days. I don't even think we had any service one of the three days. I understand Covid may have something to do with the limited service, but for the price we should receive better service.

We stayed for seven days and it was a very nice experience. Our room faced the ocean so we spent a lot of time on the screened in patio watching sunsets. Lauren and Sydney at the front desk were very nice and helpful. It was mostly a great experience. They did advertise daily housekeeping and we placed our placard requesting service on three days however they showed up only once. We had to call the front desk and Sydney had to bring us towels. Overall though the place was very nice and we would return.

The Silver Sands Resort is a quaint little resort located on beautiful Longboat Key Beach. Longboat Key beach is a 12 mile long sandy beach and very conducive to walkers. The staff at Silver Sands Resort is very friendly and helpful. We stayed in Unit #250. The unit was recently redecorated with new furniture – including a very comfortable king size bed and large screen TV. But the real selling point is the screened in lanai. We spent a couple hours each morning on the lanai enjoying the gulf views and our breakfast. After an afternoon on the beach we would return to the lanai for “Tea By The Sea” while we watched the picturesque Sunsets. We hope to return soon!!
