Sunny Shores: Reduced Summer Rates!

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, beach 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 cable television 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.

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 maker, blender, 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!

2. For our condo, there is one parking spot available - park wherever you like within the lot! Due to the size of the parking lot, unfortunately, no guest cars or trailers can be accommodated. Upon arrival, please ask the main office for a parking pass to be displayed on your dashboard. If you arrive after the office is closed for the evening, we have two laminates passes in the condo too!

3. Please note our condo is best suited for one-two adults or one-two adults plus one-two children in the sleeper sofa, and/or one in the Pack 'N Play, if needed.

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.

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!

Mother & Daughter trip to LBK

My daughter and I had the BEST time at Heidi’s condo! We drank coffee on the porch, watched movies in bed (so comfy!!), and basically had the entire beach to ourselves when we were out and about. My daughter stays in VRBOs all the time for work and said that Heidi was the sweetest, most attentive host she’s ever had! And I have to agree. We felt so taken care of and Heidi makes your stay even better with her thoughtfully appointed condo and attention to details. The check in and out process was so easy, it truly felt like we were staying at an old friends We loved Longboat Key so much that we are making it a yearly tradition and will definitely come back to Heidi’s next February! We’ve even nicknamed the condo “Heidi’s Hideaway”

This condo was perfect for our family! The condo is very well stocked, including everything you would need at the beach for kids. The condo was very clean and comfortable. The beach was just a short minute walk away and you can see the water from the condo. Heidi was quick to answer any questions and was the best host we've ever had. Longboat Key seems more residential, so it wasn't crowded anywhere we went. This trip has by far been my favorite and I would definitely stay again.
