One-Bedroom Condo on the Coast!

This charming seaside condo is directly on the pristine white sands and serene blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico in exclusive Longboat Key, Florida! Located on the second floor, overlooking the heated pool and ocean, this dreamy one-bedroom condo is optimal for sunset viewing from a private, screened lanai. Take a 30-second walk to the pool and onward to the secluded beach with loungers and sun umbrellas. Enjoy a relaxing vacation at our peaceful condo at Silver Sands Gulf Beach Resort!

Upon arrival to Silver Sands Gulf Beach Resort, you will be wowed by the tropical property! Conveniently located in the middle of Longboat Key, and just off the main road, Gulf of Mexico Drive, this small, intimate resort, only 35 units, has so much to offer: direct, private beach access, heated pool, two BBQ grills, beach loungers and sun umbrellas, onsite laundry, and complex office with staff.

When you arrive, pick up a parking pass from the main office (onsite staff 9A.M. - 5P.M. daily for any questions). There are also two in the condo, just in case! Then make your way to our condo, Unit 256, located on the second floor for optimal sunset viewing! The condo has a smart lock for easy entry and exit. Each guest is assigned a secure, individualized 4-digit code (deleted upon departure!), allowing for 24/7 arrival and freedom from carrying a key when on the beach...!

Upon entering, our condo features a spacious bedroom with king-size bed and cable television for viewing while lounging. There is a large closet and chest of drawers for storing belongings for a long stay, especially if you are a snowbird escaping those bitter winter months up North...!

Walk further, and you reach the living room with ample seating and queen-size sleeper sofa, which is just perfect for extra members of your party - the little ones! There is a Smart TV with cable for entertainment, when you're not on the beach, plus a variety of reading material, board games, and children's toys. Wifi, of course, is available throughout!

There is full heating and air conditioning within the condo, plus a ceiling fan in the living room and an extra floor fan, if needed. There is a smoke detector too.

For convenience, we have a Pack 'N Play, highchair, and infant tub available for families traveling with infants!

The living room flows into the fully stocked kitchen (coffee maker, blender, Tupperware, wine glasses, etc.), with dishwasher, including everything you might need for a quick weekend trip or a month-long stay.

The bathroom features a combined tub and shower, which always comes in handy when traveling with children!

Beyond the main living space is a large, screened lanai with patio furniture, ideal for eating a meal or sipping a cocktail! We have a deck box filled with fun beach toys for the kids too!

On property, there is a large, heated pool with deck, featuring lounge chairs. Pick up a beach umbrella and walk through the sea grapes (no need to cross a busy street!) to reach the private beach with more lounge chairs. No need to bring your own!

There are two propane grilling stations poolside with BBQ utensils in our unit.

At the complex, there are two washing machines and two dryers. Each load costs $2, and quarters are available from the main office. Detergent can be purchased there too or at nearby local Publix. We have some in our condo too! There is a main dumpster, along with recycling bins, behind the office for trash disposal.

The best part of our condo is the pool/ocean view, ample space, and all of the amenities that Silver Sands has to offer, most importantly, easy and quick beach access!

Notes:

1. Upon arrival, the condo will be prepared with fresh bed linens, bathroom towels, and beach towels.

There will also be starter supplies of the following:

Bathroom:

Daily housekeeping service is not available unless you would like to request a mid-stay clean for an extra fee, which I can arrange for you...! Sometimes that can come in really handy!

2. For our condo, there is one parking spot available - park wherever you like within the lot! Due to the size of the parking lot, unfortunately, no guest cars or trailers can be accommodated. Upon arrival, please ask the main office for a parking pass to be displayed on your dashboard. If you arrive after the office is closed for the evening, we have two laminates passes in the condo too!

3. Please note our condo is best suited for one-two adults or one-two adults plus one-two children in the sleeper sofa, and/or one in the Pack 'N Play, if needed. Unfortunately, we cannot accept reservations for over two adults. If it is a unique situation, feel free to message me to discuss further. Thank you for your understanding!

4. The condo is located on the second floor... for a pool/ocean view! At the complex, there are stairs, but no elevator.

Perfect family vacation
This condo was perfect for our family! The condo is very well stocked, including everything you would need at the beach for kids. The condo was very clean and comfortable. The beach was just a short minute walk away and you can see the water from the condo. Heidi was quick to answer any questions and was the best host we've ever had. Longboat Key seems more residential, so it wasn't crowded anywhere we went. This trip has by far been my favorite and I would definitely stay again.

Short trip to Longboat Key condo
Condo was exactly as described, beautifully decorated (very beachy), cozy yet spacious, with a screened-in lanai overlooking a nice pool, right on the beach, and in a small condo complex with nice amenities! We loved the place and Longboat Key! Already planning a return trip! The condo was well-maintained, stocked with everything you need, and immaculately clean! Heidi is a great host, highly recommend!

Breakfast on the veranda, sunsets on the beach
It started with a great host, Heidi, communicating all we needed to know about the condo and providing a super list of recommended restaurants, shopping, and sights. The condo was perfect, well-equipped for making meals and relaxing by the pool or on the beach. Sunsets each evening were the best. It was the getaway we needed!

Refreshing & Relaxing!
We totally enjoyed our stay, including the easy access to a pristine beach with few people, the refreshing pool at a perfect temp, the poolside grills, the screened in porch for dining and enjoying the pool & ocean view, and the indoor space with a comfortable bed and a furnished kitchen making cooking at home easy. The grocery store is just a short drive away. The hosts provided some extra treats for a bonus welcome. So lovely. We would love to stay here again, but for a longer time!

Beautiful laid back condo and best host ever!
We loved everything about our stay, would definitely come here again! We were super close to the beach, and the kids really liked the pool too. The pool was nice and warm and even though it wasn't huge, it has an 8ft deep end. The unit was immaculate with plenty of towels and extra bedding and anything you might need. We loved all the little extra touches. Our host was one of the best parts, so sweet and communicative. She knew we were vegan and had vegan chocolate chip cookies (crazy she was able to find them!) and tangerine juice delivered. She also went out of her way to find restaurant recommendations for us and we ate at one of the best vegan places we've been to (Lila in Sarasota)! I would highly recommend this place, and specifically this unit over any other if you are debating between this one or others. Thanks again for everything!!
