Great 3day weekend

Stay was easy and what you would expect from a beech condo. It’s not the Ritz but you can’t get much closer to the beach. We felt like we had a private beach. The pool closes at 5 when they go home but you still have the beach right there. Would definitely stay here again

Meh

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Mattresses in our unit was worn and noisy. The location is great. The facility itself is well maintained for it's age. Questionable whether it's worth the high $$ since the unit owners don't seem to invest in improvements and furnishings.

Pool was closed

They had to make repairs which took most of our stay. Very disappointing. Other than that, it was just what I expected.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Silver Sands for several years. We love the location to the beach, however, it is in dire need of updating. Unit 245 and 243 were worn and not as sparkling clean as we would have liked. The service in the rooms was very difficult to get done. The refrigerator in 243 was rusted and the small refrigerator in 243S was as well.Cahirs in the kitchen were ragged with the fabric hanging on the bottom and the couch was dingy and dirty.

Beach Reunion

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Base my beach experience on how hard it is to acclimate back to normal life when you leave. Silver Sands lived up to our expectation. I keep wanting to return and enjoy it some more. It's great to be able to take a short walk to the beach of white sand, wade into calm water and enjoy a refreshing swim. Afterwards we would get together at the pool, which was always warm and enjoyable. Enjoyed meeting other guests who were always friendly. Only disappointment was the tub/shower was hard for both of us to get into.

family stay at Longboat Key

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I have rented at Silver Sands every year for approx. 20 years. Before that we were at The Holiday Beach. We love Longboat Key, and have brought many friends there as well as our children, and now their children, this year we rented 7 units over Easter vacation for 1-2 weeks. The biggest disappointment is the lack of room service. We had a difficult time getting clean towels and got no response for the repair of the toilet that never stopped running. Also the rooms could definitely be cleaner.

We love the location and uncrowded beaches. We also enjoy many of the offerings besides the beach for example; beautiful pool , duffle board court and the newly redone miniature golf course. Really like the ocean view on the screened in porch! Also like TVs in each room. Thanks Silver Sands!!
