Beachside Studio – Silver Sands #253A, Longboat Key

Very nice place to stay. Away from the hustle and bustle of Anna Maria Island. Great beach front.

liked the location, although our room was facing parking lot. It was short walk to beautiful beach . Window air conditioner was louder than optimal.

Yes host was very nice. The room advertised for Suite 253A was not at all the actual 253A that I stayed in. It was very dreary, no comforter, old dingy brown furniture, hospital quality blankets. A very dark, unhappy feel. The room deserves a refresh to match the amazing location!

The room itself definitely needed some updates. There were areas in the bathroom that had started to be touched up but it was a different color than the rest of the walls. The room itself also needed updating. It is a beautiful area but this resort is def run down.

Nice beach chairs available daily at the pool and beach. Located close to many delicious restaurants. Our only complaint was our room was tiny. This is no fault of the property owners just didn’t realize how cramped we would feel.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It appeared to be a cute, quaint rental on the beach. It was on the beach, but was not what it seemed. Everything was old and dingy including the mattress which sagged toward the headboard. The walls were so thin that we could hear actual words spoken at normal volume in the rooms surrounding ours. Front desk personnel was delightful. We stayed there one night, then found a different place for the remaining 3 nights; better to spend more than stay there.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a great time and accommodations this year. We were attached to my sister so we had what felt like a large apartment. Loved the pool and beach with umbrella provided by sillver Sands. Margaret was fantastic in meeting all of our needs and being present around the community!

No surprises. The room and property came as advertised. Great location, staff was very friendly and amenities were great too. Would definitely return.

Access to the quiet, private beach was fantastic. There are plenty of lounge chairs on the beach for use by residents and umbrellas in each unit. I could overlook the outdated condo for the sake of having a great location and access to the gorgeous, quiet beach. There was not elevator access to my room on the second floor so I suggest requesting a lower level room if you are unable to carry luggage up and down a flight of stairs.
