The quiet, pristine, white sand beaches of north Longboat Key await you at Silver Sands, a small, friendly AAA 3-Diamond resort set among tropical gardens on a sugar sand beach with panoramic views of the Gulf's turquoise waters. You'll find the on-site management friendly and accommodating--helping to make your vacation everything you'd hoped for!
Unit 246 is beautifully furnished with a tropical flair and tiled throughout. Features include a King bed with BeautyRest mattress (2011), new living room furniture with new queen sleeper sofa (2012), large flat screen TVs, fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, ceiling fans and central air conditioning. The spacious living areas and large screened lanai face southwest and look out to the pool and to the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Mexico beyond!
First floor location offers instant access to the pool and beach--no stairs to climb! Daily maid service included. Free WiFi in the unit and on the grounds. No smoking, no pets.
You can walk for miles along the shore, swim in the beautiful beachside heated pool, and relax at the private beach with complimentary chaise lounges and umbrellas. Watch for dolphins, hunt for seashells, observe sea turtles and shore birds, and end each day watching the sun's rays highlight the sky as it silently slips below the horizon. Return to the beach at night and wonder at the millions of stars clearly visible in the nighttime sky.
While you're here, take advantage of the wonderful nearby restaurants, parks, marinas and shopping which Longboat Key has to offer. A 10-minute drive away, you can enjoy the festive atmosphere of the lively restaurants, boutiques and shops of St. Armands Circle. Then, travel over the John Ringling Bridge into downtown Sarasota. Sarasota is the cultural arts capital of Florida, offering you an incredible selection of music, theater, ballet, opera, arts festivals, art galleries and the renowned John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.

Your condo is VERY nice and we certainly are glad we chose it. We made a good decision. Everything was perfect. All of the furniture was quite comfortable - especially the bed. I did not experience my usual early morning back pain. The kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed regardless of our menu selection. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet the condo is - I didn't know if there was anyone next door. This was nice. You should be quite proud of your condo. The staff at Silver Sands is right up there with the best we have encountered - friendly, very helpful, informative, attentive, and efficient. They obviously take pride in all they do. The grounds are very well maintained and I didn't notice one thing in need of repair or attention. The pool and beach views are beyond description. All in all, it was a great trip. Thanks for your help in making it happenDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We had a terrific week at unit 246! The photos and description of the condo were very accurate. The condo was very clean, well equipped, and the staff was great. We enjoyed walking the beach each day. The town park nearby was very nice - we walked there one afternoon and wandered through the mangrove forest along the paths and walkways. Harry's Corner Store and deli were very convenient and the prepared dinners from there were delicious. We definitely want to return!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

This is our second visit to Silver Sands 246. It was immaculate, tastefully furnished, and roomy enough for the two of us. The staff couldn't be nicer or more attentive. Bed is extremely comfortable. All the appliances and furnishings are like new. Silver Sands is well located to Harry's Restaurant, bike rental shop, and movies in Sarasota (12 miles) and Bradenton (6 miles). Beach and pool are right out the lanai door!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

My friend and I loved Silver Sands, and couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations. The condo was beautiful, immaculate, close to the beach, everything the website promised! I have recommended Silver Sands to my friends, and will definitely be back! Thank you for making our vacation absolutely perfect! Please tell Lana at the front desk that we so enjoyed visiting with her, and she and the rest of the staff are doing an excellent job.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
