good spot for easy beach access

It had most everything we needed, maybe could use a few more kitchen items, but we got by. The living room needs a better reading lamp, but the furniture was comfortable, and the TV setup was nice. The beach access is the best thing about this resort. The complex was pretty quiet, and the pool was never very busy.

Location - Location - Location !!

This was my second visit to Silver Sands, and anxious to return again. Staff was courteous and helpful, Beach was beautiful, and just out your door. Close proximity to Sarasota and St. Armands. Numerous fine restaurants within short distance. A bit dated, but enjoyed the quiet family atmosphere, and met many nice people at poolside.

Would return

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For the most part, it was a good stay. There were a couple of issues, but would not prevent me from staying here again. The sliding door out to the patio was almost unusable. I could not open it myself. I had to have my husband open it for me. I would’ve spent more time out on the patio if the door was easier to open it really should be replaced. The furniture seemed a bit icky, unidentifiable stains on the couch, so we covered the furniture with sheets during our stay. Other than that, everything else was good. well stocked kitchen working appliances great location, we will return.

Not as family friendly as the old days

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have always visited the resort in the past which seemed to always be very family friendly and relaxing. I realize there will always be some music and a variety of people but this time there was a HUGE group partying all weekend which made our experience not as pleasant as previous years. They took up most of the beach with their tents and we could hear music late at night from our room. They were grilling and in the pool late and made it uncomfortable and when I say HUGE I am talking like 30 people! Although we made the best of the weekend and still met a great other family, it might be time to find another place to stay on Longboat Key.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Could have been more maintained, blinds were missing pieces so wasn't able to close them all the way so was a privacyissue, table leg was falling off only had one screw out of 4. Only had 3 chairs so we had to constantly bring in the outdoor plastic chair for our family of 4. Couldn't beat the location though. Just needed a little TLC.

The room was great, we didn't spent much time inside. We enjoyed being on the beach. We used kitchen a little, but I would prefer if there would be any salt, pepper, sugar so if one need something, doesn't have to bring or buy just to use it few times.
