The beach is at your feet as you exit the lanai. You are literally on the beach. Air conditioning worked great. This beach area was almost entirely ours with us sharing only with a couple other families. The only drawback was trying to check in after hours. This delayed us by about 15 minutes. We had an amazing visit and will be back!

It was spectacular to have an oceanfront room just steps from the beach. There was some storm damage and erosion from the hurricane but it didn't impact our view or access. There were landscapers on site actively cleaning up the brush. Our unit was completely remodeled and sparkling clean.
My wife and I had an amazing time in Longboat Key while staying at Silver Sands. Our unit was awesome the back screened-in porch had a path right onto the beach. Upon walking into the unit there was a nice clean smell. Everything was tidy. The room came with pretty much everything you needed for a nice getaway. I highly recommend staying in one of the two rooms that lead right onto the beach it was absolutely perfect. All of the staff was accommodating and very friendly. I also loved that the beach wasn't overcrowded in this area.

We could not have found a better location and resort for our 7 day trip to Long Boat Key. The access to the beach was super easy. The beach chairs were always available. The unit was clean and completely furnished with everything we would need. The A/C worked great! All of the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend Silver Sands and are excited about returning!

Reviewer Comments:
We have been visiting Silver Sands for more than 10 years. Each year the condition of the condo and property has declined. The cleaning fee is a rip off and a joke. There was food visible on the kitchen cabinets and behind the KT sink. Stove looked like someone spat on it! The sofa was so used it about swallowed us, the cheap LR chairs ugh! The bedding had pizza sauce on it & small dried up bugs!!!!!This is a fantastic location with sub par service. Step it up!

We had a fantastic view and access to the beach 24/7. Our visit in early November was quiet and uncrowded. The kitchen in our unit was minimally equipped for doing our own cooking, but all the basics were there. The laundry facilities were clean and worked well, though you need to bring 8 quarters to run each machine. The heated outdoor pool was a nice plus.

We had a beautiful beach experience and enjoyed our stay for the week. The only thing that made our trip sour was the bed was so hard, my husband and I both woke up everyday with aching backs and hips. My daughter and her family stayed in another room and their bed felt amazing. For the top dollars that we had to pay, the bed was sadly inadequate.
