Spacious, Peaceful, Perfection

Property was very spacious, impeccably maintained, and perfect location! Resort was right on the beach, everything was beautifully maintained, pool was warm and wonderful, and the beach was just about the best (if you like calm, gentle waves) that I have ever seen (even better than Siesta Key Beach!). Soft, gorgeous sand and almost crystal clear blue water. Staff was super-helpful and kind, very accommodating. Rooms were even larger (and better quality) then the pictures conveyed. I can't recommend this place enough!

Wonderful property right on the beach!

Had a wonderful long weekend here with extended family. Unit was clean, fantastic location steps from the powdery white sand beach. Great that they had lounge chairs for us to use. Nice pool with pool toys available as well. Harry's market right down the road was perfect for our food/drink needs. Free gym pass to a gym within walking distance was wonderful also.

Wonderful family space

Clean inside and out! Great beach access. Wonderful staff cleaning the grounds daily. Our space was perfect for parents with adult children age 18-24. We could easily rise early and the kids not hear us. Had beach chairs and other items to borrow for the beach. Full kitchen and awesome gas grills at the pool!

Beautiful, spacious room

Our suite was a large, 3-bedroom suite. While we only stayed for the night, it would be a great place for a large family to stay for an extended vacation. There are three large rooms and one of them had its own en suite bathroom and mini kitchen, in addition to the large kitchen in the suite. There is a large outdoor balcony, as well. I wish the suite had a waterfront view, though. It would also be nice to have a bathroom near the pool because otherwise you have to go to your room from the beach/pool. The beach is beautiful and the pool was big and clean and had nice, fun lights at night!

Fun Getaway with Friends

We loved the location and had such a fun vacation. The beach access was convenient and they even had chairs and umbrellas. The room was very clean and the perfect size for 6 adults. We loved the balcony and decor and the unit was spacious. Highly recommend and world stay here again. We had a great time with friends. I gave 3 stars for the property manager because I went to the office 3 times and there was no one there. We did after hours check in but I still thought this was odd. Upon checkout I just left a note on the desk.

Can't beat the location, easy, laid-back and clean accomodations!

The condo unit was actually 2 - one with 2 bedrooms and a studio that can be locked off from the rest of the unit (and had its own entrance and AC unit). Everything was very clean and well appointed. The TVS all have excellent streaming capabilities and were easy to use, the sofas were also pull out couches - which we didn't need on this trip but were happy to discover. Very large common areas - kitchen and living room, made staying with friends a breeze. The AC units worked GREAT!! which is very important to me. The property has complimentary beach towels (very helpful) as well as beach chairs, beach umbrellas and even kids' toys for the beach. This was a great bonus as we didn't have to try to fit it in our luggage or pay a lot for things we would leave behind. The heated pool right on the beach was also a plus and couldn't be a better set-up for traveling with kids who may not be able to stay in the ocean all day. The little miniature golf course was charming and kept the kids busy whenever the adults were taking to long to get ready for the beach, our unit had a covered porch which was great for drying our towels, and gathering for drinks with friends. Rally don't have any complaints ! Everyone we met - both staff and other guests -were all very friendly and easy-going. Just a perfect place to take the family for a relaxed, laid-back Florida beach experience!

A great family getaway

I grew up staying at this resort under previous ownership, so I was so excited to see it available to rent with my whole family now. The space worked well for 3 couples and a toddler. The location is great. It was initially a little tough to get housekeeping in the unit, but after easily speaking with the office staff, this was quickly fixed. Thanks for a great stay! Hope to be back ASAP.

Great place to stay.

We enjoyed Silver Sands Resort. There was a lot of activities for the kids and a very large pool! Walking distance to the beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas. The rooms were clean. I stayed in the kitchenette room. I found the bed and the pillows too hard. The air conditioner was not able to keep the room cool. I wish there was shower handles in the shower, very hard to get into and out of the tub/shower.

It is what it is

Nice location on the island and great private beach. The check-in staff were friendly and helpful. The unit is as pictured in the ad. It’s a bit dated and has a strange layout making it a 3 bedroom unit with one bedroom having a separate entrance from the outside.
