Perfect little beach getaway

Our first visit to this part of the gulf coast and this was so perfect. The beach was just outside the back door and the porch is perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks listening to the ocean and birds. Amazing sunsets as well.

Right on the Beach takes it over the top

My wife and I returned to Silver Sands unit #240 because it is close to the Gulf of Mexico waves, and is a quiet spot on Longboat Key. The unit was clean, with quality towels & linens, and an efficient kitchen. All you need : basic not fancy. Quiet and right on the beach. Lots of good restaurants within 5 -15 min drive.

First Time LongBoat Key Visitor

This property is amazing and is well connected to the beach.. Each day I went to the local Harry's deli grabbed a sandwich and sun bathed at the beach and the pool. Getting around to and from Sarasota was easy using Uber.

Silver Sands at long boat key Florida

Silver sands on long boat key is a slice of old Florida. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. Right on the beach which is beautiful . Nice pool , friendly staff. Toaster did not work, was replaced. Th shower sliding doors are a bit dangerous. Be careful. We look forward to returning..

Easy access to gorgeous beach

The room was exactly as pictures…a cute one bedroom condo with fabulous, quick access to Longboat key beach. Lounge chairs were available and an umbrella was given to us as well. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets and perfect Florida weather. The pool was close to cool off if you didn’t want the salty beach water! Not super luxurious but can’t beat the location!

Piece of Paradise

This condo is a perfect little piece for paradise with the perfect location right on the end facing the beach! We had a clear view of the beautiful longboat key beach and were just steps away from the sand. Super convenient with also being located in close proximity to the pool. The unit was clean, beds were comfy, kitchen had exactly what was needed, and our stay was delightful.

Relaxation at it’s best!

Absolutely loved it. Our unit was directly on the beach with a gorgeous view. We spent the week relaxing between the beach, sitting on the beach view lanai, the clean pool, or just laying in bed watching movies. It was very quiet and relaxing! Definitely would return!!!

About the host

Hosted by Bridget Myers

Host profile image
I am a wife of 24 years and mother to two sons in their 20's. My husband is originally from Thousand Oaks California, but moved to Muncie Indiana to be near family. I am originally from northwest Indiana and moved down to Muncie to attend Ball State. We are a very active family and now as empty nesters I look forward to traveling.

Why they chose this property

When we toured different places on Longboat Key and the surrounding area as an investment opportunity and somewhere we would want to vacation, there was no comparison once we found Unit 240. We looked at high rises, but the ideal place I had in mind was also a vacation for me (mom). I didn't want to pack 3 bags and take an elevator to make it to the sand. Since the boys were 6 and 4 it has been exactly what I was looking for. I can sit out on the lanai and watch them on the beach. If you forget a shovel or sunscreen it's just 10 steps back to our place to retrieve it. The chaise lounges waiting on the beach and the close proximity to pool is what I wanted.

What makes this property unique

Unit 240 really is our second home. To be able to open the back sliding door and hear the waves while you sleep will never get old. Having the beach so close and private are what I think people are looking for in a vacation. Our condo would be ideal for a honeymooning couple to a family of four. I hope my future grandkids will be able to have the same special memories my boys have made here.
