This was a good little condo. The access to the pool and beach was fantastic. The pool is nothing fancy, but good for my kids because it was never too busy. The fridge had rust on the side but was clean inside. We enjoyed this spot!
The resort is not overly huge which makes for a less crowded and enjoyable time. Room was clean and we were just a stones throw from the beach. We would definitely go back!
Super low key quiet place. Beach was beautiful and not crowded and goes for miles. The pool was warm and plenty of lounge chairs. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. The staff was very accommodating We will be back!!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I liked the tranquility and privacy of the beach
But the path to the beach should be cleaner, lots of weeds
First time vacationing to Longboat Key area. Very very happy we did! Great food, great bars/restaurants! Check out Guppy’s when you stay here!We stayed here in February of 2025 and the Red Tide situation was happening unfortunately. If you don’t know what that is, Google it. It could wreck a trip. But at Silver Sands, everything was fine! Beautiful pool and pool area with plenty of seating, tables, and umbrellas if needed. The beach area was very nice as well, and very close to the pool area and housing units. Plenty of chairs out by the beach as well! All in all the property itself was very well maintained and clean. Our unit was as advertised. Clean, well stocked with everything we needed. Comfy bed. And nice lanai overlooking the pool area. Few things to note:- Coffee pot is a Keurig so bring pods. - This unit is on the Second floor and there’s no elevator. - This unit had adjoining doors to the next door unit. Normally not a big deal but we could hear everything on the other side of the doors in the next door unit. And I’m sure they could hear us too. And by the way, the doors are in the master bedroom. - Televisions in the living area and bedroom. We never tried the tv in the bedroom but the one in the living area could use replacing. Picture and audio were fine. But there was that annoying green thin line from top to bottom across the screen telling you it’s about to die. This was a nice place for us. We would come back.

Loved everything about our unit. It was comfortable, clean, close walk to pool and beach. I will have to say it was probably the cleanest property I’ve ever rented!! Our stay was just too short.

We stayed a couple days for our anniversary. We loved the condo and the front desk lady was amazing ! Our only suggestions are updating the sofa and putting a mattress topper on the very hard bed. Thanks for a great getaway!

This place has a great location. Needs some updates but everything works. Would stay again. The best part is the beach access. Very responsive management team! LBK is one our favorite vacation spots for over 20 years and would stay here again.

I loved it
Very nice unit with a wonderful balcony area that offers a great view of the pool and ocean. The pool was very nice and this property has excellent access to the beautiful beach and is only a few yards away.
That mattress was very hard, not firm. Not to our liking but others may not mind.
Wished we could have stayed longer!

Clean. Easy to get to the beach. Great views from our balcony.
One complaint: the vent in the bathroom is incredibly load. Consider a quieter vent or at least separate switches for vent and light.
