Great location and amenities. We thought the pool was nice and of course the beach was fantastic. The property manager was kind and very helpful. The room was clean and honestly had exactly what we needed, as we spent a majority of the time outside. I truly have no complaints.

This place was very functional and decently clean. We did not get any bites and nothing was broken or non-working inside. You don't book this place for the room...the best part is being STEPS away from a gorgeous crystal blue beach. The office staff was friendly and helpful. I had a positive experience here and it's located in a great centralized location near plenty of restaurants and shops.

We had a great time. Room was clean but a little small. We thought we would have an ocean view but did not. I’m not complaining though. Just a few short steps and the beach was right there. The host was very friendly, we misplaced one of our keys and she just gave us another one and told us to bring it back when you can, no hurry. There was not much of a kitchen so you couldn’t cook a meal.

Enjoying LBK

The Sliver Sands was a great place to stay. I had other family members on LBK so we would sleep and shower in our room and then spend the day with family. I would only like to see a lighted sign out front. I drove by the property several evenings because the Silver Sands sign wasn't visible at night.

Thank you for the comments and stars. The Town of Longboat Key has very strict sea turtle restrictions on any signage particularly on the beach side of the island. However, we can appreciate your frustration.

Manager Helped

Having stayed at this property several times in the past, the room we reserved was not satisfactory. The manager was very helpful to find a unit that made the stay a pleasure.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr, 2020
We hank this guest for the 5-stars. We kindly ask guests to fully research their booking selections prior to booking. We provide detailed information about each and every one of our units, and there are times where we are sold out and unable to accommodate requests after check-in. But we are glad to see the onsite staff was able to assist this guest.

Silver Sands was such an amazing place to stay. Pool and Ocean steps away...I've personally never seen beauty like this shy of going to an Island in the Caribbean. The staff was amazing...Margaret...YOU were amazing!! The people staying there were super friendly...as were the locals. Super quiet, relaxing...just what I needed for my body and soul!!

It was a great little place. Perfect locations, with just enough amenities

The unit I stayed in had a few little glitches. The shower door was off the track, and little things like that. But maintenance was quick to offer to fix it. It didn't bother me, though, and the location was just perfect. The people were lovely too.I am looking forward to retuning. Its a great place, for the price, its really fabulous.

Disliked: Amenities, communication
This particular unit is tiny; just enough room for a double bed. There is a fridge and microwave, but no sink so actually cooking would be a challenge. One window--unopenable-- facing the parking lot. Someone has made a nice effort to decorate the room. The larger property has very nice beach access and the other units appear more attractive.

Good for the price.

We hadn't stayed on Longboat Key before. Not a big fan of that island. The hotel was old but very clean. The room was very small and the table and chairs in the room should be thrown out. A bit of money would make the place 100% better, but for what it was it wasn't bad. The bed was very uncomfortable sadly, but that's hotels sometimes. The staff was very nice and quick to fix issues.

Short on a few thing

Only had 1 fork. Would of been nice to have some plastic glasses for poolside refreshments. Beach longers were nice but umbrellas were only available at the office and the cheap. I got a new one from the office but it broke. Would have been nice if the umbrellas were commercial grade and positioned on the beach. Overall, we had a very nice stay.

Great Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The staff were awesome and responsive to any problems. The pool is nice and well maintained. This is a small complex so the pool is very seldom busy. There are 2 grills next to the pool to use to cook. The complex is right on the beach which is very beautiful. There are several beach lounge chairs at the complex to use. The unit we stayed in only has 2 rooms a bathroom and an open room that contains the bed, small dining table, and a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, and coffee maker. Only 1 window which faces the parking lot. The unit was clean and the bed is comfortable but understand you can easily hear through the walls. There is a shared laundry area at the complex which takes quarters. The area around the complex is nice and several places to eat and shop are nearby. This is the 2 nd time staying at this location and have been pleased both times.

Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I hear that all the downstairs rentals have been updated because of the hurricane damage. The room that I stayed in really needs updating. The shower doors kept coming off the track (maybe the track needed to be cleaned). All the fixtures in the bathroom were rusty. The one chair at the table is so old and rickety, we were afraid to sit in it. The ceiling fan needs a screw in one of the blades because it was clacking. The ceiling fan really is too big for that room and hanging way too low. Dave had to walk around it because it is too low and would hit his head on it. I also had to buy hangers to hang up our clothes. We swept every day, but there was no dust pan to sweep it into. The staff was very nice, and the cleaning people were accommodating. It was nice that the beach chairs weren't locked up this year and were available when we arrived at the beach in the morning. I wouldn't pick this particular room again, but it is a nice place to stay.
