10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We enjoyed being close to the beach, seeing sunsets every night, and having conveniences such as a disposal and modern dishwasher. The unit was clean overall, though I suggest they replace the shower curtain liner. Silver Sands is a nice quiet resort; we appreciated the peaceful atmosphere.

Silver Sands is a marvelous, peaceful retreat located in Longboat Key. We have vacationed here twice with our young granddaughter - and will return. The resort is well cared for and we have met lovely other guests staying there.

Cozy, clean, comfortable and a short walk to the Gulf. It was quiet and just a perfect visit.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2022
Nice vacation rental with pool and beach access. Needs some maintenance though - fridge is rusted, microwave doesn’t rotate, dish washer and bath fan sound like freight trains. Back door to lanai doesn’t lock so have to walk around. Shower faucet handle getting ready to fall off. Various dings and scratches. Bed was squeaky.
