Everything about our stay was great. The condo met our needs nicely. We would recommend it highly. Late check-in and early check-out went off without a hitch.

We loved our stay at your unit 246 at Silver Sands. We had stayed there in the past and when I found out online that you now had a king size bed I was very anxious to book again. We are a local couple and like to get away locally for long weekends and have found your place to be just the location we like. Cleaning staff and front desk were most helpful and accommodating. Thank you so much for providing such a great place.

We had a wonderful stay at the condo. The setting is unbeatable, right on the beach with the Gulf just steps away.

Silver Sands itself was great too, clean and comfortable with a lot of thought given to your guests needs. We really appreciated those small touches--a drying rack for wet suits and towels, a bucket for sandy feet and a blender for slushy drinks on a hot beach day, to name just a few.

The office staff was more than helpful (I have to mention Laura, for her assistance in reuniting me with my phone charger) and the system for after hours arrival, which we needed to use, went without a hitch.

There was plenty to keep both teens and parents happy and we will definitely stay at 246 again the next time we are taking a beach vacation.

I can't begin to tell you how wonderful our stay was at Silver Sands. The facilities were extremely clean and comfortable. It was so nice to be just steps away from the beach and pool. Every employee was coureous and helpful. We look forward to coming back again with my brother, sister-in-law and nephew. We look forward to next summer!

We very much enjoyed our stay. We definitely liked the fact that our unit was on the ground floor so that it made it easier to haul beach stuff to the unit. The condo unit was well appointed and clean.

We LOVED our stay at your Silver Sands unit! The condo, pool and beach were all very nice. We enjoyed cooking on the grill by the pool--it seemed to be a popular dinner choice for many. It was nice to step out of the porch and be right at the pool and then just a short walk to the beach. The view was beautiful right from the condo! We appreciated the "extras" such as coffee and soap supplies, clean towels, free wireless and the comforts of home. The unit was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. I liked that the bathroom had a fan--so many don't anymore. I also liked the glass doors for the shower/tub. We did enjoy the area of Longboat Key also, but our favorite time was spent just hanging at the condo and enjoying all that it had to offer. It was perfect for our family of three with our 18 year old daughter. There seemed to be many families/extended families at Silver Sands during our stay and everyone was very friendly. It was fun to see multiple generations all enjoying themselves and their time together.

We arrived early due to a change in our flight schedule and were able to check-in with no problem. Laura at the front desk was friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The check-out time of 11 am was great--we were able to get all of our laundry finished that morning and did not feel rushed.

We would love to go back again and would highly recommend that others stay there. Thank you for everything!

Just a quick note to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay on Longboat Key. The unit was perfect for the three of us and the close proximity to the pool and the beach was terrific! The grounds are so well kept and the staff was so helpful! What a great week! You have a real jewel on Longboat Key. We are looking forward to our next visit!

We really enjoyed staying in your unit at Silver Sands. Laura at the front desk was nice, she gave us all the information we needed. And, when we asked, a beach umbrella, too. The unit was clean, quiet and comfortable. I hope we find a few days next year to stay there again.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed your wonderful condo at Silver Sands. The location to the beach and pool worked so well, especially because of my 4-year old granddaughter. It was a most comfortable unit with the lovely furnishings and all of the amenities. We had a great time and your condo was a big plus during our relaxing holiday. Hopefully, I will be in touch for another holiday there. We have already told friends about finding "Silver Sands".

We enjoyed our stay very much. Your location is wonderful and the beach is beautiful! We also liked the lanai, we spent a lot of time there. The bed was comfortable and the unit was nicely updated.

I had a wonderful time at Silver Sands. It was a perfect spot for being on my own. Your unit was very comfortable. With the wonderful deli nearby, I did not have the need to go to a grocery store or rent a car. I rented a bike and was quite comfortable getting around. The staff was very helpful. Overall it was very nice and I hope to be able to go again next year. The weather was perfect.

We had a great time in your unit. Everything was wonderful, immaculately clean and comfortable. The only suggestion we would make, is that it would be nice to have an ottoman for the chair. The staff was exceptionally friendly and conscientious. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

We enjoyed our week at Silver Sands immensely. It is now on my "favorites" list. There are many little touches that make it an easy place to vacation and we really loved the proximity to the beach and restaurants. We will be thinking of Florida as it gets colder and colder here. Hope to rent again soon.

This unit is everything we've dreamed about for a relaxing and private beach vacation. The pictures in this listing are exactly how the condo looks like. A white sand beach is only steps away from the room as well as the pool. The condo is very well kept and clean!!! The recent upgrades made the unit very comfortable and enjoyable! There was nothing we did not like about this place! It was a PERECT vacation for us! The owner and resort staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They were responsive, easy to work with and very accommodating. We plan to return each year. If you are looking for a relaxing and laid back vacation, Longboat Key is the place to go and SilverSand #246 is the place to stay!

We enjoyed a perfect week in Longboat. We enjoyed
the peace and quiet as well as good food and
enjoyable walks on the beach. The condo is furnished
with everything you need and yet uncluttered. The
maid service is very nice and everyone is friendly. The
pool is very nice as well.

Sparkling Clean!!!! Well maintained!!!! Very comfortable!!! The pool and beach are steps outside the lanai. The beach is clean and not crowded at all. I have stayed at hotels that were not as nice as this and paid twice as much. We stayed with our two small kids and it was plenty of room. Thanks again!

Silver Sands on Longboat Key wsa the perfect place to reunite with family members. The setting is stunning and relaxing and the units were just what we needed. We especially liked Unit 246 for its easy access to pool and beach and also the view. We likely will return in 2009. When will you start taking reservations for next year?

Silver Sands was good! We really liked the beach and pool access from this first-floor unit and also the screened porch. The unit was tastefully decorated and close to perfect for us. We really enjoyed it and would like to come back again!

The location is ideal. Near enough to shops and restaurants, etc., but far enough to feel you're "at the beach." Unit 246 is nice, clean, pretty and functional. We really look foward to coming back, hopefully next year.

We especially like the proximity to the pool and Gulf, and also having clean towels and bed service every day. The lighting in the unit is plentiful and attractive. This is our 2nd visit--and we have booked the unit again next year.

We love Longboat and being so close to Sarasota. We will return to Silver Sands next year and were disappointed that we cannot book your unit because it is already booked for our dates in 2008.

We like the location of Unit 246 and the lighting in the living room and bedroom. We booked Unit 246 in 2006 but could only book it for one week in 2007 due to other reservations. We stayed in two other units to complete our stay and have now booked Unit 246 for a month in 2008!

This unit overlooks the pool which is only a few steps from one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. It was more than adequately spacious for two poeople and we found everything that we needed in this unit. There was a complete kitchen and all of the kitchen utensals that we could have wanted although we primarily took advantage of local restaurants. The linens provided were more than adequate. We had a very enjoyable weekend and would certainly return in the future.
