Great Accommodation

I was very happy with the actualAccommodation. Well Mainrained and great view of water and sunset. I arrived and the manager had left early and left keys which was great. But I was unaware this had lots of steps up to get to unit and no elevator that I found. So I , having had knee surgery earlier, couldn’t get my suitcase upstairs so I had to make several trips taking in just what I needed for one night. Only other “complaint” is that housecleaning knocked loudly on my door well before the 11:00 checkout and woke me up. I would recommend this unit but know that there are steep steps up.

Wonderful experience!

My 19 year old son really liked the place so that should be praise enough since most of the time we only get grunts or nods out of him. Lol. We enjoyed our short stay in this cozy unit right next to the Gulf. Beautiful sunset and walks on the beach.

a wonderful week on Longboat Key

We enjoyed our week on beautiful Longboat Key and were very happy with our accomodations at Silver Sands. Our unit was well-equiped with everything that we needed. The view from our balcony was lovely and the staff was always helpful. We hope to return again next year. Sincerely, Evelyn and Fred Kletzin Friesenheim, Germany

Very nice property. Pool not heated though.

Room was nice, but it’s an awkward layout - you enter into the bedroom first and then walk through to get to the kitchen living room area. Also the pullout couch bed was very uncomfortable, really only fit for a small child or the like.

Nice property, daily cleaning and housekeeping needs work

This was our 1st visit to Silver Sands. We have been coming to LBK for over 10 years but stayed at other places. The property, grounds and beach are great ( although our unit needs a facelift). What kept this from 5 stars was the quality and attitude of the housekeeping staff. Towels are supppsed to be changed daily and weren't. Bed linen are to be changed every 3 days, but was only changed once in 2 weeks. When we asked for new towels, the cleaning lady couldn't understand us and also looked disappointed when we said we'd like our room cleaned. One day it was not cleaned at all. Finally, the management allows smoking in the lanais. I am disapppointed with this policy, because the smoke drifts around. The people next to us were chain smokers and the smoke drifted into our lanai and caused us to stop using the lanai and keep the door closed to our unit.
