Best Room, great layout, functional, beautiful view

Fabulous staff, only hickup was two broken light fixtures and a frying pan that wasn't too great. OTHERWISE, BEDS FABULOUS, VIEW FABULOUS, just perfect!

Silver Sands Resort One of the Best in Longboat Key

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Facility and location top notch, The unit we stayed in needs some work, bathroom needs refresh and bed needs new mattress. Grounds, pool and beach are the best in the area-quiet and clean! One of the greatest are to view the sunset!

Lot of money for a unit sorely in need of a remodeling

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed with my wife and grandson at 253s Silver Sands. It was very costly considering the bathrooms were not acceptable, i.e. moldy grout and seal around shower and rusted out tub at the fixture. Bare bones.Kitchen ok. Sliding doors could barely move on the track and the Vertical Blinds (how 60's is that) were coming apart. Furniture was old and nasty. The beds need to be replaced, hard and lumpy for my taste. AC in the adjacent unit was not cold but in the main one it was great. Not sure if the dishwasher worked. No decent umbrellas and no beach canopies offered so you better have your own if you don't want to fry. Pool looked ok but too hot to get in. Not quality for the price. Really needs to be updated from the 60's.

Will come back but finding new accommodations

Online stated daily maid service. Inside we found a do not disturb sign for the door, I assumed for the daily maid service. For two days I waited for trash bags, we took our own trash out, and fresh towels. I finally called the office, only to be told they no longer do that. Every time the water went down the drain in the kitchen or the dishwasher was used the entire unit smelled like sewer. Keeping up with actual keys for the unit was not convenient either. Especially on the beach and at the pool. Then being threatened $25 a key for lost keys.

Stayed 4 nights in May 2023
