Perfect Getaway

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: We have stayed here one weekend every summer for at least 10 years. This is a great family get away. The pool and beach are just steps away. The condos are clean and have enough kitchen supplies. We bring food but everything needed for cooking is on site. The beds are comfortable.

Great 3day weekend

Stay was easy and what you would expect from a beech condo. It’s not the Ritz but you can’t get much closer to the beach. We felt like we had a private beach. The pool closes at 5 when they go home but you still have the beach right there. Would definitely stay here again

This 2 bedroom condo was everything plus more than I expected. Clean, spacious, accessible and so vey comfortable. My husband and I wanted to take my younger brother, who has very limited mobility on a vacation that he would always remember. This place has achieved many memories for all of us. Directly from our Lanai was the beautiful pool and behind the pool was the crystal, calm turquoise water of the Gulf of Mexico. There was plenty of towels for the beach and for bathing. Our unit was supplied with plenty of house hold necessities. Our host was Georgia. She was very responsive to any questions that I may have had before our trip. The staff in the office was always welcoming. Check in was a breeze as well as checkout. I would definitely recommend the Silver Sands 2 bedroom condo 243S for anyone looking for peacefulness and tranquility with a superior stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mattresses in our unit was worn and noisy. The location is great. The facility itself is well maintained for it's age. Questionable whether it's worth the high $$ since the unit owners don't seem to invest in improvements and furnishings.

Beach Reunion

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: Base my beach experience on how hard it is to acclimate back to normal life when you leave. Silver Sands lived up to our expectation. I keep wanting to return and enjoy it some more. It's great to be able to take a short walk to the beach of white sand, wade into calm water and enjoy a refreshing swim. Afterwards we would get together at the pool, which was always warm and enjoyable. Enjoyed meeting other guests who were always friendly. Only disappointment was the tub/shower was hard for both of us to get into.

family stay at Longboat Key

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I have rented at Silver Sands every year for approx. 20 years. Before that we were at The Holiday Beach. We love Longboat Key, and have brought many friends there as well as our children, and now their children, this year we rented 7 units over Easter vacation for 1-2 weeks. The biggest disappointment is the lack of room service. We had a difficult time getting clean towels and got no response for the repair of the toilet that never stopped running. Also the rooms could definitely be cleaner.
