There are plenty of lounge chairs on the beach for use by residents and umbrellas in each unit. I could overlook the outdated condo for the sake of having a great location and access to the gorgeous, quiet beach. There was not elevator access to my room on the second floor so I suggest requesting a lower level room if you are unable to carry luggage up and down a flight of stairs. ##### Shannon T.

Reviewer Comments: It appeared to be a cute, quaint rental on the beach. It was on the beach, but was not what it seemed. Everything was old and dingy including the mattress which sagged toward the headboard. The walls were so thin that we could hear actual words spoken at normal volume in the rooms surrounding ours. Front desk personnel was delightful. We stayed there one night, then found a different place for the remaining 3 nights; better to spend more than stay there. ##### Jennifer G.

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: I enjoyed my 4 day stay at Silver Sands very much. Location is fabulous; short walk to the beach. Margaret and the other Staff takes excellent care of the pool and other common areas. Pool is always sparkling clean. Rooms vary apparently as they are individually owned and the furniture and other amenities depend on what the owner's have provided. My room was just "OK". It's a different type of resort experience than I am accustomed to as there is no regular housekeeping in the rooms. Nothing cleaned and used towels and beach towels accumulate but if guest wants to, they can take used towels to laundry area and get clean ones. Just different I guess in. this type of operation.My one huge concern though is there is NO RECYCLING at this location; nothing that I saw. Just a shame to see dozens of perfectly recyclable items - plastic water bottles, aluminum cans, milk jugs, paper, etc. etc going out in the trash. Recycling has been common place for decades and I don't understand why a resort in such a prime location would not have it and not promote it? Publix supermarket a few miles away has recycling containers by their store for all common recyclables. This should be available at Silver Sands - guests should not have to haul recyclable items elsewhere. ##### A guest from Eagan, MN This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aracelis M. 5 Aug 2022 #### Anniversary 42nd 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: My husband and I needed an economical place to stay to fill a hiatus in our travels. This was the prefect spot on the beach. The space is exactly as it appears in the photos and it was clean. We took advantage of the privileges at The Cedars resort and made friends at the tiki bar. We also enjoyed dining at The Lazy Lobster and hopped around Bridge St. on Anna Maria Island - all in close proximity. The resort provided everything we needed to enjoy lounging on the beach - towels, lounge chairs, umbrellas, and even sand toys for kids. We are looking forward to a second return before the year ends. ##### Kevin M.

Reviewer Comments: We stayed in a hotel room efficiency unit. It was very clean. I loved the location. It is situated very close to Brandenton Beach and St. Armans Circle. We also enjoyed the easy access to the beach and pool.There were many great restaurants in close proximity. We are interested in renting a unit for the entire month of March. Because we are planning to stay for a month and not ten days we need a one bedroom condo. We are planning to book with Silver Sands if there is availability and a one bedroom unit. We were highly impressed with the Silver Sands facility. ##### James O. ---
