Quick getaway

Property was very clean. Plenty of towels provided, including beach towels which was appreciated. Very short walk to the beach. Only negative is that the mattress was rock hard.

Great waterfront rental.

Property has a great location and laid back vibe. Decor is functional, but is not furniture in listing pictures. The mattress is very firm. Rental was clean and equipped with everything you need. Loved the large screened in balcony. Pool is nice and was heated, as the temps were in the 70s...rare in October. We enjoyed our stay and plan on renting again.

Great Place

It was a short vacation for us, however our short stay was great and wished we had more time. Views of ocean, beach, nice pool, all was enjoyed. The only improvement could be the bathroom shower/ tub was worn out and needs replace or update. Other than that, we will return.

Beautiful view.

The pictures don’t do the rental justice. We found the place even more inviting and the view from the upper deck is priceless. The beach was not crowded during our stay. The AC worked well. The bed and couch were comfortable. Relaxing environment. We were able to easily visit St Armand Circle one day and Anna Maria the next. Traffic toward Anna Maria is definitely something to be aware of before venturing out, especially if you have a timeline. We highly recommend Silver Sands in Longboat!!

Summary of what happen while there

Overall stay was ok. But unfortunately my newborn got bite up by some type of bugs or bed bugs not sure which. Was not sand fleas because she wasn’t outside near the beach. Also we found a huge cockroach that we killed for you. You are welcome. Back to my newborn. I took picture of the bites to Show her doctor, one bite looks infected. Be expecting a call from me if it is so you can pay for the medication. Also AC broke while we were there luckily after hour fix it within two hrs of calling. Not very happy with the outcome of being there as too I will have to follow up with baby’s doctor to make sure she doesn’t have a infection from the bite.

Nice room in a great location

This is our second visit to this property. It is in a great location right on the beach with a nice ocean view. This particular unit is getting a little run down - the couch was quite dirty and stained, the sliding door was fairly rough, and we had trouble with the TV. But overall it was a nice stay.
