The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pictures don't really match the room. It's outdated and smaller than it appears. Hardly any water pressure, especially the sink. The bathroom has some water damage to the walls. For what you pay, it'll work given how close it is to the beach. But a little more money would give you at least a one bedroom and be better for a week. It's cramped for 2. Pool was nice but needed umbrellas as all but 2 were broke. Beach access was great. Need to clean up though where you wash your feet from sand as it's all sand and defeats the purpose. ##### A guest from Mattoon, IL ### 8/10 Good #### John B.

Staff was WONDERFUL, as was the beach. The pool bottom was a little rough, and we had two broken light fixtures, and a frying pan that was not very good. But we wouldn't change our mind to return over and over again. We first stayed there when my daughter was 3, and we now took our Grandsone who is 1.

The office manager Margaret is wonderful, responsive and helpful. The room needs updates: the shower grout is old and moldy, the toilet seat had wear marks ,mattress is hard and old, there is a loud wall unit for HVAC .

The room is doable for the price. Many have said a new matress is needed and we agree. Its not fun to recover from vacation bc your bed was bad. Many have said the tv is tiny. I don't go on vacation to watch tv but March Madness was going and it is nice to unwind in the evening when there is no night life on the island. Two easy improvements would make this a 100% great place to be. ##### Wendy M. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### JoAnn B. Feb 18, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Not a great experience for us . First of all we arrived at 4:30 and the front desk was already closed. We wanted to get there as early as possible to make sure our room was ok. The room smelt like musty, moldy basement, the room is very small and dark, not as bright as the photo shows. No place to put your suitcases or anything, just a few drawers. We turn the air conditioner down, thinking it was just damp from being shut up or something went and bought scencies and such to help. The next morning, we went down to talk to the lady at the front desk and here She leaves an hour early every day due to traffic I feel like we should have gotten a notification about that. When we told her about the smelly room, all she said was that’s too bad, and there were no other rooms because they were booked didn’t even act concerned we were hoping it would’ve cleared up but discovered that night it was the air conditioner. My husband cleaned out the filter and everything. It was disgusting. When we asked the lady where we could eat, she said there was nothing on longboat key that we had to go into Annamarie Island or Sarasota, which was not true, we found out from other people there were several places to eat-within walking distance.. as of right now traveling into Annamarie Island was a nightmare. There is construction going on everywhere so traffic is very slow. The beaches were absolutely amazing white powdery, sand, and very quiet. Would not return to this Silver Sands again, but maybe other rooms were better. ##### JoAnn B.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Margaret at the office was so accommodating and helpful. The ‘hotel room’ was dated but clean. The bathroom was not in good shape at all. Cruddy grout, toilet seat paint off. Plenty of towels, and bed was fine. The grounds of the property were very nice and beach area, pool area clean. ##### Pam D.
