Fantastic Location

Access to the quiet, private beach was fantastic. There are plenty of lounge chairs on the beach for use by residents and umbrellas in each unit. I could overlook the outdated condo for the sake of having a great location and access to the gorgeous, quiet beach. There was not elevator access to my room on the second floor so I suggest requesting a lower level room if you are unable to carry luggage up and down a flight of stairs.

Beach tranquility

The property was "Old Florida" but clean and pleasant. The pool was a lovely alternative to the beach and not over run by children. The beach was fantastic- it was natural and not crowded. Walking on the beach everyday was restorative and tranquil.

Great budget friendly place

Overall very good, but for budget vacationers. You're renting a room with little amenities, but for us it was fine. Room could have been cleaner. Pool, beach and grounds were very nice and Ryan was awesome!

Perfect getaway

We had never been to Longboat Key before now. What a lovely surprise. The people, unit, complex with heated beautiful pool and located right on the beach, what’s not to love. I would highly recommend Silver sands. I look forward to next year’s return.

Great little beach getaway

I wanted a quiet little place for a weekend beach getaway and silver sands was perfect. The grounds are well kept, the pool was nice, and the beach was beautiful!! My one and only complaint was the bed, pretty uncomfortable and the sheets were very hot. But other than that it was a wonderful stay and I would stay again!
