It was steps to the beautiful beach and pool, no need to save chairs, there were plenty. Several restaurants were within walking distance. The weather was perfect!We will be back!

Great Location
Great location, friendly staff, vrbo needs updated cooking pots/pans dishes, etc. Probably to be expected after the hurricane, but if open, then these need to be updated so people staying have the ability to eat in while there. Otherwise, great stay, all you need for the beach!

Vacations
Everything was perfect but unit itself was awfully outdated. Dirty windows, dust on the ceiling. Limited count saucepans. We had to buy two saucepans, shampoo, staff for dishwasher and washing machine. I think that facility requires renovation

Off to a bad start, then it got worse
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived the first day and were told that the previous guest took the key and our room could not be cleaned. Instead of having our room at 4 PM we would not be able to take possession until 5:30. Our unit was very nice. Our second stint began a few days later and we were told the pool was closed, why? no one said. It remained closed of two days. We were told that we could use the small pool from the resort next store, no thanks. Then, the next day we were told our water would be shut off part of the day, with no explanation. Because we need to use water for several things including the bathroom, we made plans to be out of the resort for the better part of the day. When we checked out and inquired about some reasonable discount for late check in, no pool and no water, we were told we would have to write RVA. Well you've heard our account of our stay, what do you think?

Very Nice Stay
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: VERY CLEAN!! The complex is older but very well maintained. The Unit was roomy, quiet location in complex even though next to parking; the trees and shrubs give you a lot of privacy, especially as an end unit. Kitchen well equipped and CLEAN! Good water pressure, HOT water, lots of towels, pullout couch. Bed is a full-size, small but cozy and comfy. Nice enclosed/screened patio with a table and chairs; again CLEAN! Good HVAC. Only suggestion would be to replace the bed pillows, but we always bring our own so it was not an issue.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My daughter and I were pleasantly surprised how clean and comfortable was the rooms at the Silver Sands Resort. We've been coming to Longboat Key for about 40 years and hadn't noticed this place. We especially liked the kindness of the staff and the closeness to the beach. We walked every morning for about 4 miles.

Loved everything except!
Property was just perfect. The management was excellent. Tried to help us on our condo situation. Our bed and couch were awful. We covered the couch with a sheet. Was very dirty and the cushins were very uncomfortable. The bed was so uncomfortable we only had one person in the bed. I went and bought a blowup bed to sleep on. There wer a few things that did not work either.

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: We had 3 different units for our family get-together. We had a great time! We used the BBQ grill a few times. The place is maintained well. Margaret, in the office was the best! Always smiling and a great help if we needed anything. She was friendly and great with the kids. There were plenty of pool and beach toys for the kids. We greatly appreciated the available lounge chairs and umbrellas. Will be planning another stay soon!
