Nice place for a fantastic getaway

Silver Sands was a great place for us to stay for our Longboat Key getaway! My only complaint would be that it would have been nice for housekeeping to come in at least once for what we paid. Otherwise, yes, we would certainly stay here again!

It was a great location, right on the beach!

The room was clean but one downside was the mini fridge didn't have a real freezer and there was no ice machine available on the premises. This meant we had to go buy ice each day.

Quiet location

We enjoyed our weekend stay. The location and the beach was very quiet and private. Our only issue was that we checked in after 5pm and then our room keys didn’t work correctly. We were able to contact RVA and were walked through process for getting key out of a lock box. We notified the Silver Sands office the following day so that steps can be taken to make sure the keys work more easily for future guests.

Best Kept Secret - Best Beach in Florida!

We stayed in 4 different rooms, with 14 family members. Staff was WONDERFUL, as was the beach. The pool bottom was a little rough, and we had two broken light fixtures, and a frying pan that was not very good. But we wouldn't change our mind to return over and over again. We first stayed there when my daughter was 3, and we now took our Grandsone who is 1. You will not be disappointed, Other than the grocery store, we never went anywhere~
