Mattresses in our unit was worn and noisy. The location is great. The facility itself is well maintained for it's age. Questionable whether it's worth the high $$ since the unit owners don't seem to invest in improvements and furnishings.

There was a lot of changes this year, like we furnish alot of paper goods and still pay same rental. iI love it here we have been coming 23 years. It does needs some up grades. No umbrellas, beach chairs broke

Stay was easy and what you would expect from a beech condo. It’s not the Ritz but you can’t get much closer to the beach. We felt like we had a private beach. The pool closes at 5 when they go home but you still have the beach right there. Would definitely stay here again

Base my beach experience on how hard it is to acclimate back to normal life when you leave. Silver Sands lived up to our expectation. I keep wanting to return and enjoy it some more. It's great to be able to take a short walk to the beach of white sand, wade into calm water and enjoy a refreshing swim. Afterwards we would get together at the pool, which was always warm and enjoyable. Enjoyed meeting other guests who were always friendly. Only disappointment was the tub/shower was hard for both of us to get into.

Reviewer Comments:
My husband and I have rented at Silver Sands every year for approx. 20 years. Before that we were at The Holiday Beach. We love Longboat Key, and have brought many friends there as well as our children, and now their children, this year we rented 7 units over Easter vacation for 1-2 weeks. The biggest disappointment is the lack of room service. We had a difficult time getting clean towels and got no response for the repair of the toilet that never stopped running. Also the rooms could definitely be cleaner.

We have been coming to Silver Sands for over 25?years. It includes many of our extended family members! We love the location and uncrowded beaches. We also enjoy many of the offerings besides the beach for example; beautiful pool , duffle board court and the newly redone miniature golf course. Really like the ocean view on the screened in porch! Also like TVs in each room. Thanks Silver Sands!!

Reviewer Comments:
We have been coming to Silver Sands for several years. We love the location to the beach, however, it is in dire need of updating. Unit 245 and 243 were worn and not as sparkling clean as we would have liked. The service in the rooms was very difficult to get done. The refrigerator in 243 was rusted and the small refrigerator in 243S was as well.Cahirs in the kitchen were ragged with the fabric hanging on the bottom and the couch was dingy and dirty.

This place is a small piece of Heaven. Always clean and the landscape is perfect Florida. I would give five stars but the king bed is very hard...not comfortable at all. But the surroundings help me forget about my stiff back. :) We love Silver Sands

Above my expectations!
In general I was very impressed with this property, the management, the location, everything. The ONLY thing that was awkward was that to get from the master bedroom to the kitchen you had to walk through the second bedroom. Minor inconvenience to get so much for this price.
