Not by pool, no outdoor area for room

It was ok

It was ok, it was really dark. The sign is not lit up so we ended up passing up the place. When we got there the outside lights were out as well. So we had to use our phone lights to navigate around. The pool and beach are nice, the room was very basic.

Short Get Away

Silver Sands has the sweetest people, and they make your stay super enjoyable. This was my 3rd time to stay here. I had an efficiency that was perfection for one or two people. Parking is easy. Pool is great. Beach is the best. Unit was immaculate with everything you need. I was in an upstairs unit. Would stay here again. It’s a great place, communication is awesome, and in a beautiful place to visit.

Quiet Vaca on Longboat Key

The property was well kept and clean. We stayed in the efficiency unit. It was perfect for my 8 year old and myself. The beach was beautiful. It was clean, peaceful and safe to walk at night. Everyone at the property was very helpful and kind. It was like vacationing with a big family. We loved the saline pool and that we could walk right out our front door and be on the beach in a minute. We wished there was an ice machine, restaurant, and bar onsite. You definitely have to come prepared with your own food, drinks, cups, etc. We had a great time and plan to go back very soon.

Adequate room, good value

This unit is not luxurious, but it is priced right for the location. Don't stay here if you expect to spend a lot of time in the room as there is not really a comfortable place to sit, but do stay here if you want a convenient location, friendly staff and guests, and extremely close access to the gorgeous beaches of Longboat Key

We live in FL and decided to do a little 2 day staycation. The room and property were nice and clean. Staff was very friendly. It was great having a very small number of people on a beautiful beach!! They even provide chairs, umbrellas and towels for guest to use. We will come back again!

Quaint Little Place on the Beach

We love Longboat Key but most vacation rentals are quite expensive. Silver Sands is a quaint little resort that is reasonably priced and right on the beach. Our room was small but had everything we needed for a short stay. The property is very tropical and the staff was friendly and helpful. This is not a luxury property but that isn't what we were looking for and it fit our needs.

Weekend getaway

The stay was very nice. My only recommendation would be is to get a bigger TV. We did have a lot of rain this weekend and spent a lot of time in the room and the TV is smaller or as small as a computer screen and cannot be seen from the bed. Other than that the room was just as described. Very good weekend
