Nice place for a fantastic getaway
Silver Sands was a great place for us to stay for our Longboat Key getaway! My only complaint would be that it would have been nice for housekeeping to come in at least once for what we paid. Otherwise, yes, we would certainly stay here again!

Perfect Getaway #2
This place is amazing!! We love it here. This is our 2nd year coming and both times were perfect. Wonderful property with Wonderful view and right at the beach. They provide beach equipment plus have mini golf, shuffleboard, and a heated pool which makes it more nice. Quiet peaceful little island and everyone is soooo friendly. The lady at the office is always really nice and helpful. Just mins away from Bradenton and Sarasota. We had a perfect week there again and will definitely be back next year. Perfect place for all ages. Dont come here if its hard for you to leave and go back home bc this place will make you wanna stay!!!

Best Kept Secret - Best Beach in Florida!
We stayed in 4 different rooms, with 14 family members. Staff was WONDERFUL, as was the beach. The pool bottom was a little rough, and we had two broken light fixtures, and a frying pan that was not very good. But we wouldn't change our mind to return over and over again. We first stayed there when my daughter was 3, and we now took our Grandsone who is 1. You will not be disappointed, Other than the grocery store, we never went anywhere~

It was a great location, right on the beach!
The room was clean but one downside was the mini fridge didn't have a real freezer and there was no ice machine available on the premises. This meant we had to go buy ice each day.

Quiet location
We enjoyed our weekend stay. The location and the beach was very quiet and private. Our only issue was that we checked in after 5pm and then our room keys didn’t work correctly. We were able to contact RVA and were walked through process for getting key out of a lock box. We notified the Silver Sands office the following day so that steps can be taken to make sure the keys work more easily for future guests.

A gem of a property but an old unit
Silver Sands is right on the beach , it’s “old Florida” You have access to Cedars East, with free bikes, (however, they did not honor them for us and pool , tennis and Pickleball courts . The office manager Margaret is wonderful, responsive and helpful. The room needs updates: the shower grout is old and moldy, the toilet seat had wear marks ,mattress is hard and old, there is a loud wall unit for HVAC . That said I would stay again at the property just not in this unit.

Adequate unit for short term stay.
Unit needs updating. Bedding was plain sheets and a blanket in-between. Bathroom had poor lighting and an old shower. Mirror was so low anyone over 5’5” couldn’t use it. Air conditioning was loud. Pool & beach were excellent..
