Great Location

Great location, friendly staff, vrbo needs updated cooking pots/pans dishes, etc. Probably to be expected after the hurricane, but if open, then these need to be updated so people staying have the ability to eat in while there. Otherwise, great stay, all you need for the beach!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My daughter and I were pleasantly surprised how clean and comfortable was the rooms at the Silver Sands Resort. We've been coming to Longboat Key for about 40 years and hadn't noticed this place. We especially liked the kindness of the staff and the closeness to the beach. We walked every morning for about 4 miles.

Thanksgiving week with family.

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 had 3 different units for our family get-together. We had a great time! We used the BBQ grill a few times. The place is maintained well. Margaret, in the office was the best! Always smiling and a great help if we needed anything. She was friendly and great with the kids. There were plenty of pool and beach toys for the kids. We greatly appreciated the available lounge chairs and umbrellas. Will be planning another stay soon!

Very Nice Stay

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: VERY CLEAN!! The complex is older but very well maintained. The Unit was roomy, quiet location in complex even though next to parking; the trees and shrubs give you a lot of privacy, especially as an end unit. Kitchen well equipped and CLEAN! Good water pressure, HOT water, lots of towels, pullout couch. Bed is a full-size, small but cozy and comfy. Nice enclosed/screened patio with a table and chairs; again CLEAN! Good HVAC. Only suggestion would be to replace the bed pillows, but we always bring our own so it was not an issue.

Perfect Stay on the Beach

We had a relaxing, peaceful stay at Silver Sands right on a beautiful 10 mile beach. Our efficiency was comfortable and cozy with a functional kitchen for cooking in. We had access to umbrellas and chairs for the beach and poolside. Lots to do if you wanted to venture out or stay and walk the beautiful endless beach. We will be back!
