Disliked: Amenities
This particular unit is tiny; just enough room for a double bed. There is a fridge and microwave, but no sink so actually cooking would be a challenge. One window--unopenable-- facing the parking lot. Someone has made a nice effort to decorate the room. The larger property has very nice beach access and the other units appear more attractive.

Good short getaway
Our unit was pretty dated and smaller than most hotel rms we stay in, but right on the gulf and a heated pool when it was chilly made it a great choice for a short getaway

Good for the price.
We hadn't stayed on Longboat Key before. Not a big fan of that island. The hotel was old but very clean. The room was very small and the table and chairs in the room should be thrown out. A bit of money would make the place 100% better, but for what it was it wasn't bad. The bed was very uncomfortable sadly, but that's hotels sometimes. The staff was very nice and quick to fix issues.

Silver Sands was such an amazing place to stay. Pool and Ocean steps away...I've personally never seen beauty like this shy of going to an Island in the Caribbean. The staff was amazing...Margaret...YOU were amazing!! The people staying there were super friendly...as were the locals. Super quiet, relaxing...just what I needed for my body and soul!! Will def be returning whenever I can!! A++++++++

Short on a few thing
Only had 1 fork. Would of been nice to have some plastic glasses for poolside refreshments. Beach longers were nice but umbrellas were only available at the office and the cheap. I got a new one from the office but it broke. Would have been nice if the umbrellas were commercial grade and positioned on the beach. Overall, we had a very nice stay.

It was a great little place. Perfect locations, with just enough amenities
The unit I stayed in had a few little glitches. The shower door was off the track, and little things like that. But maintenance was quick to offer to fix it. It didn't bother me, though, and the location was just perfect. The people were lovely too.I am looking forward to retuning. Its a great place, for the price, its really fabulous.

Great 2 day Escape!
First time using VRBO. Was pleasantly surprised! Our room was exceptional with everything we needed. Bed was comfortable and room was very clean. The Silver Sands resort was amazing, clean, and exceeded our expectations. My spouse of 40 years and I will definitely be back for a longer stay. The service was impeccable and the views of the sunsets on the Gulf of Mexico Beach were beyond words! Pool, shuffle board, and putt putt 9 hole course was well maintained and fun to enjoy. Area restaurants had some of the best seafood we have ever eaten, and we own a restaurant, so that is saying alot. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back soon. Thank you to all the staff for their amazing service and attention to detail!

Too small no sunlight
The room photos were deceptive of size and lack of lighting. It felt like punishment and was very cramped. The room cleaning was good and essential due to dish washing in the sink and a hot plate. Compared to beach sides and windows and pools for others. Regardless, it was too expensive and not healthy to spend 3 nights stepping over luggage.

There is no view of the ocean all I had was a room. No place to buy food and I couldn't sleep well. The bed is on wheels and that was the only place to sit and relax. I was very disappointed 😞.

Great property with Pool, Beach and Parking!
This quiet place is a tremendous find! Clean, updated and easy to access, one soon learns that parking access on the west coast keys can be non existent at times, not here, there is plenty. The beach is beautiful and uncrowded. The sunsets are an added treat!! I will stay here again.
