Gulf front beauty

Lovely, well-appointed unit facing Gulf. Appreciated the outstanding service of the property manager. Any issues were handled promptly while also managing the cleanup and restoration of first floor units from hurricanes. Large warm pool was wonderful. We will return in March.

Pleasant stay

The place is roomy and nice and big, nice view.But as soon we got there the toilet was not working we had to flush it by touching the float each time cause maintenance wasn’t available till the next morning. The other thing we weren’t crazy about for a condo that when you walk in you’re in the bedroom so when you open the door people can look right in. Despite all that we would probably stay again.Thanks Silver Sands

Great condo!!

Last minute getaway for 2. The resort has easy access to beach chairs, umbrella, floats and some toys for kids. We had a great view and the condo had everything we needed. We had groceries delivered and took Ubers to dinner. The nice women at the front office even helped revive our groceries when we couldn’t make it back on time. Will definitely recommend and will book again!

Last Minute Getaway

We had the opportunity to do a last minute getaway and ran across this gem. The property and location were exactly what we were looking for. Check in was quick and everyone was helpful. The weather was amazing and we loved the fact that the condo was away from the tourist area but within minutes to stores/restaurants. The beach and ocean are beautiful and reminded us of the Caribbean vacation we had to cancel in April. Our room was great! It was very clean and had everything we needed. I loved sitting out on the screened in balcony looking out at the pool and ocean. It was a treat to actually have a pool that was warm enough for me to walk right into - we spent many hours in it. This is definitely a place we will be going back to!

Our Florida trip

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: From the start it was about 30 min from the Sarasota airport. The ladies in the office were super friendly. Our room was very clean and nice had every thing we needed. A beautiful view of the ocean. Steps away from the ocean. The beach was beautiful. Felt like our own private beach there were only a few people on it every day. The town was very quaint not busy at all.

Peaceful and beautiful view

The condo was very clean and the perfect size for us. We loved our view, especially. Some things we noticed that might improve a guest's stay: 1) A ceiling fan and better lighting in the bedroom would have been nice 2) The mattress was VERY hard, so we didn't really get good sleep 3) When the towels/sheets were changed, we didn't get more toilet paper 4) When someone cleaned up the empty beer and water bottles on the kitchen counter, they also threw out a paper towel that held several shark teeth on it -- these were not small teeth -- it was obvious what they were and that we were saving them, along with a couple dozen shells and sand dollars 5) Brighter lighting in the bathroom would be great The beach access and numerous lounge chairs to choose from was WONDERFUL! We hope to come back to Silver Sands and enjoy the property and beautiful beach again in years to come!!! Thank you for a great vacation!

Nice place with "old Florida" feel

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: After failing to book online in time, we showed up on Longboat Key with the hopes of being able to just walk in. Margaret was along at the desk, and it was raining, but she gladly got up, handed my wife a towel, and walked us to three separate units to tour. When I worried about leaving wet footprints in the ones we didn't choose, she said "no worries" and said she'd have housekeeping touch up after us. She was VERY accommodating. The unit we chose was very clean and had a wonderful view over the pool and to the ocean beyond. While the lighting available in the living room and bathroom was very dim (new-appearing fixtures but not much light coming out of them), we could make up for it by spending time at the very pleasant pool (some floats provided), on the beach, or on the very large screened porch. If/when we return to Longboat Key, I'm sure we'll stay here again!

Extremely Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: Room was dirty when we arrived (i.e., bathtub had hair and mold in it - floor had not been swept well - garbage disposal (well, just go and try to use it. Door hanging off cabinet under sink. No TP brought to room until we called them. No linens for pull out. Bed was not changed on third day (until I called upset). Pool was dirty (sand) and had lots of build up on tile around waters edge. We were there for a week and it never got cleaned. Have been here almost every summer for 20 years. I am now looking for another rental property for next year.

Wonderful couples stay

This will be a go-to place for us in the future because of the private beach experience and the quiet atmosphere. Inside the condo it's bright, beachy, and comfy.It's on the second floor and the balcony is awesome with 6 cushioned seats, a table, and an ocean view. We loved it! Margaret and Sue in the office were very sweet and super accommodating.They have beach umbrellas available at the rental office upon request. The pool was clean and warm. The only constructive feedback is the big chaise lounge chairs for the beach sometimes run out. Fortunately we found two small folding chairs (near the provided pool noodles) but another couple missed out on having chairs for the beach. We think adding a few extra small folding chairs might be an easy solution. Also, service is needed on the sliding door to the patio as it screeches significantly. As for food, we mostly picked up from Coquina Beach Cafe. It was super cheap compared to the other restaurants around Anna Maria--and the food was actually surprisingly good (french toast, eggs, bacon, fish tacos, burgers, ice cream, drinks). There's another ice cream place up by Lazy Lobster. We wished we'd visited La Norma for a dinner out. It's an Italian restaurant with casual outdoor seating that looks/sounds like you're in Italy (fancy inside). Can't wait to come back whenever we need a few beach days! Thanks so much!
