Relaxing Retreat

We enjoyed our days at Silver Sands. Our unit was very spacious and comfortable. It was an easy two minute walk to the beautiful beach, and checkin was a breeze. We loved the proximity to restaurants and appreciated the list of area restaurants we received at checkin. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property

A friend and I stayed for a very quick weekend getaway. The location is beautiful, the room was well taken care of, clean, and nicely renovated. We were down for an engagement party at another house near there and did not check in until later. The staff was very helpful with this process and called with updates and process before we arrived. I would recommend staying here and will be looking to come back for a longer stay.

Relaxing Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Clean,quiet,right on the beach. Great for a relaxing beach vacation. No access to restaurants or bars from the beach. You need to drive for a selection of places to eat. If you're looking for relaxation and a great beach and nice pool at a decent rate, this is the place.

Quick beach trip.

There’s plenty of room. Clean and neat. Property is on the beach. Plenty of parking. Our room was on the side of the building next to road but we did not have a problem sleeping due to road noise. If you plan to do much cooking bring supplies such cooking oil and spices, only salt and pepper were there. Would stay there again.

Rooming and private condo in a quiet complex

This unit was nice and roomy. It was well appointed and in a nice and quiet complex steps from the beach. The outdoor deck had a nice table for outdoor dining and the outdoor railing lights created a nice atmosphere for an evening glass of wine on the deck. The pool was heated and kept at a perfect temperature. It was convenient to spend some time at the pool and some time at the beach since they were steps away from each other. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us.

Easy peazy check-in. Unit was spacious and clean (2-bedroom). Nice TV in every room, as well as ceiling fans. Plenty of beach towels and regular towels. Two beach umbrellas also. Nice deck area with a limited view (because of palm trees) of the Gulf. Shower/tub was adequate. Overall quite satisfied and would gladly book again!

Quiet, clean, and easy access to a private beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great choice on a quiet stretch of beach even during the height of spring break. Even in a unit not facing the gulf- the outdoor deck was a great addition- and a few quick steps to the beach made it nice. Lots of activities to enjoy - the kiddos loved the heated pool, mini golf and shuffleboard. A few fixer upper needs like broken shuffleboard pieces but the grounds are maintained and nice; the unit is clean. Needs some minor repair and better pillows!

Great family getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental property was spacious and quiet and great for our family of four. The Silver Sands has a small Putt Putt course that we enjoyed. They also had beach toys, floats, chairs, and umbrellas available for use on a first-come first served basis. The beach is very quiet with only a handful of other families nearby. We were there in early June and saw a lot of turtle nests. Longboat Key has everything you need but is a bit pricey at Publix so you might want to shop on the mainland and stock up before heading out. We are already thinking of planning a return trip.

A bad start

We had a lot of trouble checking in. We arrived at midnight and because the office was closed we were instructed to get our keys from the drop box. The keys weren’t there and we couldn’t reach anyone at any of the multiple 800 #s we were provided. Thank goodness a maintenance man just happen to be there. He called the local manager. Turns out someone took our room. The manager gave us other accommodations for the night but I have yet to receive a call back from RVA and it’s been more than 48 hours (there vm system said within 24). The local manager was great but I will hesitate ever using an RVA property.
