The resort was as advertised. Perfect size for my husband and myself. The office manager was very helpful and friendly. The resort has beach towels, beach loungers, beach umbrellas…very convenient for us. The beach is very quiet. The ocean was beautiful..full of wildlife. We loved being right on the beach.

Room on the beach
Perfectly situated between laid-back Anna Maria Island to the north, Sarasota attractions to the south, and the Gulf beach a few steps from your door, where you can join the crowd any clear evening to watch the lovely sunset. Also, clean, warm pool. Note that there are two different kinds of accommodations. The "A" rooms like we had are best for a base for running around the area. The other suites have beach-side screen porches where you could spend a leisurely week or more enjoying the gulf breeze and the surf sounds. If I were to stay in the area again for a week or more, I would definitely consider renting one of the suites. But for a few days as a home base for running around the area, the "A" rooms are fine.

Perfect Getaway
This was the perfect February getaway from the cold northern winter for my husband and I. The room was nicely decorate, efficient, clean, and best of all steps away from a spectacular beach! The office staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make our stay easy and pleasant. We'd definitely come back!

We booked our stay very last minute and couldn't of been happier with our experience. Margaret was exceptional, give the woman a raise! The amenities were exactly what we needed for a one night stay on the beach, but we could have spent the week. My husband and I will absolutely seek out another trip to Silver Sands, no question.

Minutes to the beach!
The location is great and there’s literally a few minutes walk to the beach. The unit could use a little facelift but all in all it was clean and well appointed. The only negative is the pillows. I had to go buy two of my own to prevent having a neck ache my entire trip! This is a small thing to change, but would be well worth it!

Great place to stay right on the water!
Nice place, right on the water! Peggy, the guest receptionist was very nice and accommodating, she gave us suggestions of places to go and restaurants close by to get a bite to eat. We even inquired about a tree that was right outside our door and she found out the name of it for us! Great customer service. Our room was a studio and it was perfect for the two of us. It had enough drawer space to place “all” of our clothes ( 2 suitcases) and a place to hang our shirts etc. laundry on site and the pool and pool area is beautiful! Also, the beach was literally 40 feet away from our room! If you are looking for a clean, affordable and place to rest your head at night while you enjoy the beautiful beach of Longboat Key and all of the others around you will love this place! We will be back next year!!! Thank you!

Too small
The location was amazing. The room was ridiculously small. They give you dishes and microwave, but no sink, no dishwasher. It really was only a hotel room and I thought it would be more of a kitchenette and a studio. There was not even a couch. Just one hard chair to sit on.

Great location great accommodation
I was looking for a place between Sarasota and Bradenton where I could be close to the water and it wouldn’t be too expensive. As luck would have it I found this unit on VRBO. It is clean it has many conveniences and best of all you walk out back and there is their private beach. I enjoyed every sunset. I look forward to staying here again.

Perfect location if you love the beach! Just steps away from a gorgeous private beach. Very quiet and relaxing place. Free beach chairs and umbrellas were a very nice bonus and the lady at check in was super nice! The room is small but clean and comfortable. The pool looked nice also but we never used it because we are all about the beach.
