Condo with a View 2: October Availability!

This charming seaside condo is directly on the pristine white sands and serene blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico in exclusive Longboat Key, Florida! Located on the second floor, overlooking the heated pool and ocean, this dreamy one-bedroom condo is optimal for sunset viewing from a private, screened lanai. Take a 30-second walk to the pool and onward to the secluded beach with loungers and sun umbrellas. Enjoy a relaxing vacation at our peaceful condo at Silver Sands Gulf Beach Resort!

Upon arrival to Silver Sands Gulf Beach Resort, you will be wowed by the tropical property! Conveniently located in the middle of Longboat Key, and just off the main road, Gulf of Mexico Drive, this small, intimate resort, only 35 units, has so much to offer: direct, private beach access, heated pool, loungers and sun umbrellas, on-site coin-operated laundry, mini golf course, shuffleboard, and complex office with staff.

When you arrive, pick up a parking pass from the main office (onsite staff 9A.M. - 5P.M. daily for any questions). There are also two in the condo, just in case! Then make your way to our condo, Unit 256, located on the second floor for optimal sunset viewing! The condo has a smart lock for easy entry and exit. Each guest is assigned a secure, individualized 4-digit code (deleted upon departure!), allowing for 24/7 arrival and freedom from carrying a key when on the beach...!

Upon entering, our condo features a spacious bedroom with king-size bed and Smart TV with cable too for viewing while lounging. There is a large closet and chest of drawers for storing belongings for a long stay, especially if you are a snowbird escaping those bitter winter months up North...!

Walk further, and you reach the living room with ample seating and queen-size sleeper sofa, which is just perfect for extra members of your party - the little ones! There is a Smart TV with cable for entertainment, when you're not on the beach, plus a variety of reading material, board games, and children's toys. Wifi, of course, is available throughout!

There is full heating and air conditioning within the condo, plus a ceiling fan in the living room and extra floor fan in the closet!

For convenience, we have a Pack 'N Play, highchair, and infant tub available for families traveling with infants!

The living room flows into the fully stocked kitchen (coffee makers - drip and Keurig, blender, wafflemaker, Tupperware, wine glasses, etc.), with dishwasher, including everything you might need for a quick weekend trip or a month-long stay.

The bathroom features a combined tub and shower, which always comes in handy when traveling with children!

Beyond the main living space is a large, screened lanai with patio furniture, ideal for eating a meal or sipping a cocktail! We have a deck box filled with fun beach toys for the kids too!

On property, there is a large heated pool with deck, featuring lounge chairs. Pick up a beach umbrella and walk to the West (no need to cross a busy street!) to reach the private beach with more lounge chairs. No need to bring your own!

The best part of our condo is the pool/ocean view, ample space, and all of the amenities that Silver Sands has to offer, most importantly, easy and quick beach access!

Upon arrival, please ask the main office for a parking pass to be displayed on your dashboard.

On the beach!

Literally steps from the soft white sand and a giant beach we nearly had all to ourselves. Love the north end of the island. Super quiet and much less traffic. Heidi was a super communicator and made our stay so wonderful! Would 10 out of 10 recommend this property!

Wonderful, but too short, stay!

My husband and I were looking for a place on the beach that was not in the heart of the action but not too far away and found the perfect spot! Heidi provides everything you could want but maybe can't schlep with you (beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach towels, shampoo, dish detergent, etc.) and is very communicative. Super cute and very clean condo... we'll definitely return!

Quick getaway

We stayed for two nights and two days. Space was clean, quaint, just right for our family of 4. The kids loved the beach and the pool access. We didn’t have to bring any beach toys or a cooler. The host had everything we needed for an easy few days at the beach.

We loved this condo! In a small complex (no high rises) right on the ocean. We have rented through VRBO for years and Heidi was by far the most thoughtful and communicative host we’ve had! Some great restaurants within walking distance too. We will definitely be back!

Escape to the island

Perfect escape! The beach is amazing! We loved our walks along the shore collecting shells. Enjoying the daytime sun is easy with the ocean breeze. Having a warm pool close by to dip into Is great. The sunsets are beautiful!! Heidi is the best host!! Her condo is clean, well equipped and decorated nicely- very “beachy”. Communication and check in / check out is easy. We loved staying here and will come again!
