Vacation

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had multiple days of construction noise, but we understand the hurricanes have hit things hard in this area. It wasn't enjoyable how often and early the workers were on-site, including on Saturday. There were also multiple worker arguments we could hear throughout the days. We did enjoy the place and would return once construction is completed.

Weekend Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wife and I rented a 1 BR suite in Silver Sands Resort on Longboat Key. This is the second time we have stayed at this resort. We love the location and the proximity to the beach. My wife loves walking the beach and looking for seashells. One evening, we got to watch newly hatched sea turtles scrambling down the beach to the water. It was amazing! Room had everything we needed for a long weekend. I like to cook, so my only complaint was that the knives in the kitchen were as dull as butter knives. We will definitely be back.

So so

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We stayed the end of march. The location was very close to amenities but you had to drive everywhere you wanted to go. There were not a lot of restaurants within close walking distance. The room we stayed although I appreciated the relevance to the circus we were kind of hoping for a little bit more beachy vibe. They could definitely use a little updating in that respect. I will have to say the bed was hard as a rock and the most uncomfortable one I've ever been on with any vrbo. The beach was amazing and the property manager was pretty knowledgeable about the area as well. We would probably come back and just choose a different unit in the future.

Great location and very clean!

Easy access to the beach. Entire facility was clean and well taken care of. Location was great for a quiet getaway. Loved that it was away from the packed beaches but a short and easy drive to St. Armond’s Circle one way and Bradenton Beach the other way. Staff was very friendly!

Great View and location, but over priced for every thing else

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While the view is magnificent, the unit is very small and outdated. The Ringling Brothers wall art and furniture is disturbing and very outdated. We had to have the kitchen faucet replaced as it would not work correctly. Appliances are old and dirty. So much furniture in the bedroom makes it hard to maneuver around bed. Blinds on both bedroom window and doorway are broken and don't cover adequetly. Price is obviously for the view, which is great, but over priced in my opinion. Location is great while being able to walk to the beach without crossing main road. Manager is amazing, she was very accommodating, friendly and helpful.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was booked for two nights immediately after hurricane Idalia passed through. Staff on site and at the RVA line led me to believe everything was great. It wasn't. I should have been allowed to reschedule and wasn't. I'm extremely upset about it!

30th Anniversary

Overall our trip was amazing. Saw dolphins and manatees each day. Weather was amazing. Unit was fine for our quick two night stay. Garbage was left in kitchen and had knats all in it. That wasnt pleasant but didnt ruin anything and property manager was very apologetic and offered to buy us breakfast.

Holiday vacation

It’s the first time we stayed in this unit, we’ve stayed at SS many many times, great place. It reads 4 can sleep in the unit but it will accommodate only 3 people. It has a king size bed and a futon -almost twin size. A couple cannot sleep in this futon. It has 2 rattan swing chairs which occupy most of the living room. I understand the ringling bros theme but a lighter color decor would be a better choice.

Dated but acceptable

Small but comfortable. Bed was comfortable and clean. AC was turned down and cool and room was very clean upon arrival. Ground clean. Beach accessories available and convenient. Shuffle board and putt putt were nice and accessories available for all. Pool was clean and accommodating. Cons..ceilings are low. Hit hands on ceiling fan several times taking off shirt. Couch futon definitely WOULD NOT be comfortable to sleep on. Sliding door hard to open and close due to rust I’m assuming. Fridge seems older and rusted in surface areas but worked perfectly fine.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: The view was amazing! I loved walking in the mornings to living room. The property itself needs some “work”. The center table and the night tables were dusty. When you shower it had a must smell. The Ringling decor did not flow throughout the room. Yet, overall experience for three days/ two nights was good

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Silver Sands. The room was very clean and ready early. Beautiful private resort beach with chairs on the beach and available umbrellas if desired. Location is in a Quiter area. We prefer the quiet side of the island. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Only complaint is the paper towels and toliet paper providing is so cheap and thin you need to use way more than you would have with a higher quality product. We actually just bought our own. Over all we do highly reccomend Silver Sands and plan on staying again
