Great Location
Nice Condo, Great location but unable to use WIFI unless down by the pool or beach.
We had a great overnight stay here.
The property is really cute, quiet, clean and had everything our family needed. The check in process was simple and the office manager was very friendly. The pool, the mini golf, parking for our truck and the access to the beach were all close and easy to walk to from our room which is great if you're traveling with kids that complain about walking. We wish we could've stayed longer but will definitely return!

My usual location to stay (house) was housing a shelter in place. This was a great find and will definitely be used again. Super clean and everything I needed for the beach!!!

Spacious unit , only stayed for one night. Nice location and clean
The property is very dated. The very small kitchenette needs updating and the bathroom is in need of a complete remodel. I ould not rent this property in the future nor do I reccommend it.

Thank you for your feedback. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we deeply regret that it was not met. These units are individually owned; therefore, all we can do is suggest the owner remodel. However, we manage over 200 properties and I am sure we have something that will check off all your boxes, check us out. We hope to have you back.

Needs overhaul
The grounds were beautiful. The room needs painting, new furniture and mold/mildew cleaned. Some of silverware and coffee mugs were not clean. Black mold around tub and baseboard. Did not feel clean entire time was there.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit is close to the road and you’ll be woken up by traffic at 6 AM. That’s if you aren’t already up from the upstairs neighbors stomping around, literally all night... and if you do manage to get a few minutes of sleep, the lumpy mattress will make sure they aren’t restful. Finally, it’s not as clean as one would hope. The beach is the only saving grace for this aging motel. Otherwise you’re better off anywhere else on LBK.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 May 2022
We were dissapointed to see this guests' recent experience at Silver Sands. We are an older property but priced as such, and the island of Longboat Key is by no means a bustling city however we apologize if the traffic prevented them from getting sleep. The mattress suggestion has been passed along to the homeowner.

I sent this email three days ago after checking out and have not received a response: I just checked out of your Silver Sands #233 rental on Longboat Key. This is our third year staying at this property but found this year to be disappointing, especially given that we paid more than previous years. We do enjoy the convenience and amenities of the property, they bring us back each year.This year there were no umbrellas available at the beach and there didn’t appear to be any in use. Perhaps they need to be replaced. We also had a leak in our unit. Although the front staff called a plumber and it was fixed that day it was still an inconvenience. The water coming from the ceiling smelt off urine and the plumber confirmed the pipe leaking was from the upstairs toilet. We had to throw away food and other personal items due to this. I write this in hopes that these issues will be resolved for future renters. The ceiling was patched up and looked just as it did when we arrived. With rising costs, renters expect to receive the best experience possible.
