This charming seaside condo is directly on the pristine white sands and serene blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico in exclusive Longboat Key, Florida! Located on the second floor, overlooking the heated pool and ocean, this dreamy one-bedroom condo is optimal for sunset viewing from a private, screened lanai. Take a 30-second walk to the pool and onward to the secluded beach with loungers and sun umbrellas. Enjoy a relaxing vacation at our peaceful condo at Silver Sands Gulf Beach Resort!
<br>Upon arrival to Silver Sands Gulf Beach Resort, you will be wowed by the tropical property! Conveniently located in the middle of Longboat Key, and just off the main road, Gulf of Mexico Drive, this small, intimate resort, only 35 units, has so much to offer: direct, private beach access, heated pool, loungers and sun umbrellas, laundry facility, mini golf course, shuffleboard, and complex office with staff.

When you arrive, pick up a parking pass from the main office (onsite staff 9A.M. - 5P.M. daily for any questions). There are also two in the condo, just in case! Then make your way to our condo, Unit 256, located on the second floor for optimal sunset viewing! The condo has a smart lock for easy entry and exit. Each guest is assigned a secure, individualized 4-digit code (deleted upon departure!), allowing for 24/7 arrival and freedom from carrying a key when on the beach...!

Upon entering, our condo features a spacious bedroom with king-size bed and Smart TV with cable too for viewing while lounging. There is a large closet and chest of drawers for storing belongings for a long stay, especially if you are a snowbird escaping those bitter winter months up North...!

Walk further, and you reach the living room with ample seating and queen-size sleeper sofa, which is just perfect for extra members of your party - the little ones! There is a Smart TV with cable for entertainment, when you're not on the beach, plus a variety of reading material, board games, and children's toys. Wifi, of course, is available throughout!

There is full heating and air conditioning within the condo, plus a ceiling fan in the living room and extra floor fan in the closet!

For convenience, we have a Pack 'N Play, for families traveling with infants!

The living room flows into the fully stocked kitchen (coffee makers - drip and Keurig, blender, wafflemaker, Tupperware, wine glasses, etc.), with dishwasher, including everything you might need for a quick weekend trip or a month-long stay.

The bathroom features a combined tub and shower, which always comes in handy when traveling with children!

Beyond the main living space is a large, screened lanai with patio furniture, ideal for eating a meal or sipping a cocktail! We have a deck box filled with fun beach toys for the kids too!

On property, there is a large heated pool with deck, featuring lounge chairs. Pick up a beach umbrella and walk to the West (no need to cross a busy street!) to reach the private beach with more lounge chairs. No need to bring your own!

The best part of our condo is the pool/ocean view, ample space, and all of the amenities that Silver Sands has to offer, most importantly, easy and quick beach access!

Upon arrival, please ask the main office for a parking pass to be displayed on your dashboard. If you arrive after the office is closed for the evening, we have two laminates passes in the condo too!

3. Please note our condo is best suited for one-two adults or one-two adults plus one-two children in the sleeper sofa, and/or one in the Pack 'N Play, if needed. Unfortunately, we cannot accept reservations for over two adults. If it is a unique situation, feel free to message me to discuss further. Thank you for your understanding!

    We loved our stay here! The condo had everything we needed, the host really thought of every detail to make the experience exceptional. The screened in porch overlooking the pool and seaside was our fsvorite place to hang out. We used the grills (they were amazing top of the line Weber), enjoyed the heated pool, and loved how close the beach was. It was really nice that the resort provided beach chairs and towels. We even got a round of mini golf in before leaving ...so much fun. I just want to thank Heidi for being a wonderful host. She went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. From providing recommendations for dining and entertainment to leaving the most delicious keylime pie on our doorstep. The

    The lights outside of the property were not working. Dark in the hallway, not the best for security or for older visitors. Overall, beautiful property, well kept. Would definitely stay there again and recommend this property to others!

    We had an amazing stay! The unit was spotlessly clean and incredibly well organized, which made us feel comfortable the moment we arrived. Heidi was responsive, friendly, and truly wonderful to work with—communication was quick and easy from start to finish.The location is hands‑down the best—close to everything and perfect for exploring the area. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a stress‑free, top‑quality stay.

    I can’t say enough great things about this place and the host! This place is PERFECT! Heidi communicated with us quickly and she had such helpful information and is so kind! We loved how close the pool and ocean was-couple feet out the door and down a short set of stairs! The condo was very clean and bed was comfortable! So many extras-beach wagon, cooler, beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys and toys inside were a huge plus for us since we flew with our 3 and 5 year old. Also, so many extras in the kitchen and having toiletries in the bathroom was nice. The property was quiet and relaxing and within 5-10 minutes to great restaurants and things to do! Publix and a convenient store very close! We also saw 3 dolphins and a manatee within 15 feet of us when we were in the ocean! The sunsets are amazing too! We can’t wait to come back! Meghan

    My husband and I were looking for a place on the beach that was not in the heart of the action but not too far away and found the perfect spot! Heidi provides everything you could want but maybe can't schlep with you (beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach towels, shampoo, dish detergent, etc.) and is very communicative. Super cute and very clean condo... we'll definitely return!

    Literally steps from the soft white sand and a giant beach we nearly had all to ourselves. Love the north end of the island. Super quiet and much less traffic. Heidi was a super communicator and made our stay so wonderful! Would 10 out of 10 recommend this property!

    Perfect escape! The beach is amazing! We loved our walks along the shore collecting shells. Enjoying the daytime sun is easy with the ocean breeze. Having a warm pool close by to dip into Is great. The sunsets are beautiful!! Heidi is the best host!! Her condo is clean, well equipped and decorated nicely- very “beachy”. Communication and check in / check out is easy. We loved staying here and will come again!

    My daughter and I had the BEST time at Heidi’s condo! We drank coffee on the porch, watched movies in bed (so comfy!!), and basically had the entire beach to ourselves when we were out and about. My daughter stays in VRBOs all the time for work and said that Heidi was the sweetest, most attentive host she’s ever had! And I have to agree. We felt so taken care of and Heidi makes your stay even better with her thoughtfully appointed condo and attention to details. The check in and out process was so easy, it truly felt like we were staying at an old friends We loved Longboat Key so much that we are making it a yearly tradition and will definitely come back to Heidi’s next February! We’ve even nicknamed the condo “Heidi’s Hideaway”
