Our first visit to this part of the gulf coast and this was so perfect. The beach was just outside the back door and the porch is perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks listening to the ocean and birds. Amazing sunsets as well.

Excellent spot to celebrate my wife's birthday. Location was great, easy to get around Longboat Key. Excellent choice of restaurants, all very close by. Walking out to the beach everyday was exactly what we needed. Very nice room, A/C worked great, very comfortable and roomy bed. Kitchen was put to good use every morning.

My wife and I returned to Silver Sands unit #240 because it is close to the Gulf of Mexico waves, and is a quiet spot on Longboat Key. The unit was clean, with quality towels & linens, and an efficient kitchen. All you need : basic not fancy. Quiet and right on the beach. Lots of good restaurants within 5 -15 min drive.

This property is amazing and is well connected to the beach.. Each day I went to the local Harry's deli grabbed a sandwich and sun bathed at the beach and the pool. Getting around to and from Sarasota was easy using Uber.

Silver sands on long boat key is a slice of old Florida. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. Right on the beach which is beautiful . Nice pool , friendly staff. Toaster did not work, was replaced. Th shower sliding doors are a bit dangerous. Be careful. We look forward to returning..

The room was exactly as pictures…a cute one bedroom condo with fabulous, quick access to Longboat key beach. Lounge chairs were available and an umbrella was given to us as well. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets and perfect Florida weather. The pool was close to cool off if you didn’t want the salty beach water! Not super luxurious but can’t beat the location!

Piece of Paradise

Piece of Paradise

This condo is a perfect little piece for paradise with the perfect location right on the end facing the beach! We had a clear view of the beautiful longboat key beach and were just steps away from the sand. Super convenient with also being located in close proximity to the pool. The unit was clean, beds were comfy, kitchen had exactly what was needed, and our stay was delightful.

Everything was pretty good in the house except for the bed. We could not sleep because the mattress was so bad and the sheets were not soft! The kitchen and living room were fine and the beach access was great! The pool could have been cleaner. Overall we had a good stay!

Relaxation at it’s best!

Absolutely loved it. Our unit was directly on the beach with a gorgeous view. We spent the week relaxing between the beach, sitting on the beach view lanai, the clean pool, or just laying in bed watching movies. It was very quiet and relaxing! Definitely would return!!!

Bad Timing?

Bad Timing?

Arrived after office hours and the Late check-in envelope/keys were not left out for us. Thankfully I had noted the Hosts personal phone # at time of booking and called her instead of waiting for a call back from property mgmt to assist us in getting into our Unit. Red Tide came our first night there resulting in the beaches loaded with dead, smelly fish, snakes and maggots. The effected air irritated ones respiratory and most guest were coughing when spending anytime outdoors. Me and my party were bitten by what we assume were sand fleas..or bed bugs? we are covered with itchy red bite marks. On our 3rd day there, we personally spoke with housekeeping requesting service to our Unit. We left the property for the day and when we returned in the evening, we discovered housekeeping never came to our Unit. Beautiful, quiet location....terrible property mgmt, a haven of no seeums and unlucky natural phenomena🤔

We have stayed on longboat for 8 years every july, the same place. After a long talk we decided on a new place! We were beyond happy with the room ! Our only suggestion would be a keurig, and better bedding as the pillows were pancakes. We had a small ant issue upon arrival and the next day home defence was left that elliminated that issue.

This property is about as well located as anything in the Sarasota area. The beach and views are fabulous and but it is much quieter than Anna Maria Island to the north or St. Armands Circle/Siesta Key to the south.

Florida post Covid

Florida post Covid

We stayed at this property last year when Covid started happening and things were shutting down. We came back this year around the same time and again it is a great place to stay! We love the condo and location beautiful to wake up and hear and see the gulf! The condo had a few upgrades of appliances and furniture it was a nice refresh! This year all restaurants were open and so great to see everyone out and about. Location is great as it is close to Bradenton and Anna Marie as well. We may make this our new tradition and come here every March hopefully!! Owner Bridget is great as well!!

Stepping right out on to the beach was fantastic! Property was very clean. My biggest gripe would have to be lack of a colander and fry pans need to be replaced ( I cook on vacation). Would absolutely stay again!

Coffee pot was not usable, went out and bought another one. Had to call property manager for door lock on screen to be fixed, and pans need to be replaced in bad shape. The ceiling that was patched in the restroom started leaking again. New couch was comfortable could use a new mattress on the bed. Hospitality was very nice, and management at the facility was very nice and professional. Actually the only thing that we fell in love with was the ocean view. Compared to other places we have stayed the unit was a little over priced.

We happened to be there at the start of the whole COVID19 quarantine and amidst all the bad that started to happen it was so beautiful and peaceful to be on the beach and fresh air for a little bit. When all this is over if you have the chance definitely a great place to stay. We hope to go back another time soon to fully enjoy it! Bridget the owner was so great and accommodating.

We had a fabulous time during our stay on Longboat Key. The room is small, but it has everything you need. The view is breathtaking, the sunsets are unbelievable. It’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle which is exactly what we wanted. It’s only a short drive to shopping and restaurants. We definitely plan to stay again.

This was our second year staying in Bridget’s condo and our experience was just as amazing as the first. The condo is quaint and the view is spectacular. Where else you can just walk right onto the beach? A perfect place to stay. We will be back again next year.
