Lovely property

If you are looking for a quiet getaway, this is your place. Located right on the beach. Beautiful heated pool. Everything I needed for my 4 night stay. I took a 3 mile drive to Coquina beach and took the free ferry out to the pier. Sarasota is a short drive south and there were lots of cute shops. Great place, I would definitely return.

I guess if that's the biggest complaint, then I really had nothing to complain about. Beautiful beach in a great location.

We have stayed here quite a bit over the years it’s a great location and we love the privacy of the beach . Just had some concerns on the overall room , the shower drain didn’t drain , toilet wouldn’t stop running , bed was super hard and uncomfortable. The location is great just wish the rooms got the maintenance and much needed updating. We keep coming back for the location but the rooms are starting to show wear and tear of popular demand .

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were looking for a quiet weekend getaway and Silver Sands fit the bill 100%. From check in to check out Margaret was wonderful. The room was exactly as described. Perfect for two. The only thing I would look for differently next time is a room with a screened in area. We knew this room didnt have one but will upgrade next time. We would absolutely stay here again.

Amazing, beautiful, private beach!

We decided to get away from the crowds and traffic on Anna Maria Island this year and head south to Longboat Key. The beach is amazing, the grounds are well-kept, and the other guests were quiet and polite. We only have 3 suggestions: 1) If you are staying for longer than one night, we suggest you rent a one bedroom unit with a lanai. The hotel room unit is on the small size, and there is nowhere to dry swimsuits and beach towels. We wll definitely upgrade to a one bedroom next visit! 2) There were not enough functioning beach umbrellas for all the guests, and 3) VRBO advertised daily maid service, which is not the case. Other than these issues, we had a marvelous time, and we will definitely stay again (but we will bring our own beach umbrella with us next trip!)
