Property was on the beach with beach chairs and umbrellas provided. The unit could have been cleaner. The widow AC cooled the room but was loud and ran constantly. The staff were wonderful and very helpful.

I was a little nervous when I saw some of the recent reviews saying the room wasn’t clean, but honestly this place was so nice! It’s not a brand new resort or anything, but if you’re just looking for a relaxing stay at the beach, this place is perfect! One review said there was mold in the shower, there’s not…the grout is just a little discolored and older, but it’s perfectly fine. I will definitely go back and rebook this resort again someday. The pool was really nice and I love that they provide beach chairs, umbrellas, pool noodles, etc., it made relaxing by the water so much more comfortable!

Lovely place, well situated. But needs to be deep cleaned.
The place was small, but perfect for us, the bathroom had mold in the shower and around the sink. I contacted the office and they told me to get some bleach and clean it myself, and that should take care of it. Will never stay there again.

Longboat Key Vacay
The location was beautiful. Very peaceful and relaxing. The room....not so much. It was in desperate need if deep cleaning. It was not at all like the listing. There was a microwave, coffee maker, toaster, blender and fridge. The microwave was badly rusted so we didn't use it. Coffee maker was great, but they only provided 1 coffee mug. The shower had mold and could have been cleaned better. The place was dusty. We were provided a wisk broom and dustpan from the dollar store to sweep up tracked in sand....who wants to bend over and get on their knees to sweep the floor. Also the listing showed a small bar table with 2 bar stools to eat at....which was not in this room. There was absolutely no place to sit to eat or have coffee except on the bed. We went to Walmart and purchased to camping chairs so we could sit. The property itself is beautiful but the room sucked. We ended up leaving a day early.

245A was a nice size room for us. The shower and microwave were dirty. The shower head had hardly any pressure. The first morning we made coffee there was still coffee in it from the previous person.

We loved everything about Silver Sands. The gentleman at the front office was extremely nice, helpful. Short walk onto the sand, beach chairs all set up on beach, umbrellas convenient to take, faucet to rinse feet after. The beach was quaint….not a lot of people, no crowds. Gorgeous sunsets.

Second time staying here. Loved it so much the first time that I had to come back. RIGHT on the water with it's own private beach access. That alone is worth the price of admission. The rooms have everything you need down to plates and silverware, which is clutch if you're getting takeout. The room is clean and the property is very clean. Everyone I spoke to at the front desk was helpful and very kind. I already want to go back!

DREAM VACATION!
First trip with my mom in the last two years given COVID, and had a trip of a lifetime. Never experienced a direct on the beach vacation, and couldn’t have asked for anything better. Appreciated the private accessible beach, and SUPER CLEAN room. Only tip is that we weren’t sure if there was an expectation for housekeeping to come by, but otherwise everything was beyond our expectations. Returning with friends and family in the future for sure!

Great local spot right on the beach! We stayed in the smallest room which was the studio. I can’t speak for the other beds but ours was uncomfortable. But other than that it was a great day. We loved having our own private beach. Would come back and try another room

Enjoyed our stay immensely.
Email cummunication was spot on. Our Room was very clean. Except a couple dishes that didn't look like had been used for a long time was dirty. And just wish the entering an accident of the beach was cleared out a little bit of brush. Love loved the privacy of the beach. Many times we were the only 2 their, Along with the pool. We would come back again and would recommend this property to friends.
