Vitamin Sea: November & December Availability!
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!
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!
Notes:
1. Upon arrival, the condo will be prepared with fresh bed linens, bathroom towels, and beach towels.
There will also be starter supplies of the following:
Bathroom: - toilet paper - shampoo & conditioner - body wash - hand soap - hair dryer
Closet: - iron & ironing board - laundry detergent, on-property credit-card operated laundry, $2/wash, $2/dry - extra folding beach chairs - sun umbrella - beach wagon - vacuum cleaner - broom and dustpan - in utility closet!
Daily housekeeping service is not available unless you would like to request a mid-stay clean for an extra fee, which I can arrange for you...! Sometimes that can come in really handy!
2. For our condo, there is one parking spot available - park wherever you like within the lot! Due to the size of the parking lot, unfortunately, no guest cars or trailers can be accommodated. 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!
4. The condo is located on the second floor... for a pool/ocean view! At the complex, there are stairs, but no elevator.
5. The entryway door opens into the bedroom; this is very typical for Longboat beach hotels.

Thank you so much for visiting over Labor Day weekend, Carol! Our condo is at Silver Sands, a gulfcoast property. We are directly on the beach, Gulf side, but our condo does not have direct oceanview. Our view is a diagonal across the pool to the ocean. We have a large screened lanai, and there are some palm trees, but we very much have a pretty view, and our photos have always been accurate. Thank you again for staying at our condo!

This was the most peaceful, relaxing beach trip we have ever experienced. We spent most of our time soaking up the sun, salt water and sunsets with sand between our toes. The condo felt like home, with everything we needed (we flew in with a backpack and lacked nothing), it was clean and comfortable. Our first morning we received the sweetest surprise at the door for breakfast, very thoughtful host, who seems to want to make your stay as best as it can be!We loved EVERYTHING and are already talking about making this a yearly event

Kitchen had everything we needed, including a waffle maker we had fun with. Beach access was super convenient and the chairs provided made it perfect.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at this property and cannot recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and relaxing.The location is truly unbeatable, as access to the beach is incredibly quick and easy. It was so convenient for heading out to the sand whenever we felt like it. Inside, the condo was spotless and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need for our stay.A huge thank you to our host, Heidi, who was wonderful to work with. She was proactive and friendly, and her communication was consistently awesome, which made the entire process stress-free.

Über den Gastgeber
Zu Gast bei Heidi
Hello!
My name is Heidi, and I live in Oklahoma City with my husband, Jeff, nine-year-old daughter, Louisa, four-year-old son, Teddy, two beloved dogs, Kramer and Gus, and two playful kitties, Maple and Willow!
Originally from Upstate New York (the Fingerlakes region!), I grew up vacationing on Longboat Key as my parents owned a condo at the nearby Diplomat Beach Resort. It's a peaceful island full of beautiful memories for me. When the opportunity presented itself to purchase on LBK, my husband and I jumped at the chance, and bought our sweet little studio at The Beach in October 2020, followed by our beautiful one-bedroom in February 2021 at Silver Sands, and last (for now), our second Beach studio in September 2024. It's been a marvelous experience owning on the island and hosting so many amazing guests!
To learn a little more about me, other than managing our condos and raising two children, I teach and take yoga (vinyasa flow!) classes, foster the most wonderful dogs and cats (100+!) through our local Oklahoma Humane Society, read for monthly book club, and spend way too much money gardening!
For us, vacation is important. It's a beautiful gateway for reconnecting with spouses, bonding with children, celebrating special events, and reinvigorating oneself. We take vacation seriously and want it done right from booking onward...! A positive guest experience is paramount, and we approach each guest party as if it's our very first one - ready to impress!
We're so happy you are considering booking (or have already booked!) one of our condos. They are little slices of serenity! We hope you love them too.
Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
Our condo, Unit 256, is located within Silver Sands Gulf Beach Resort on beautiful, quiet Longboat Key, which is a barrier island just outside Sarasota, Florida. The condo is situated toward the northern end of Longboat Key (LBK) with easy access to many other fun local tourist spots, like Coquina Beach, Holmes Beach, and Anna Maria Island to the North and Lido Key and Siesta Key to the South.
Just a note, oftentimes guests combine a trip to Disney World, 2-hr drive, 111 miles! Another popular destination is Busch Gardens in Tampa, 1.15-hr drive, 65.3 miles.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
Longboat Key, Florida, is easily reachable by flying into Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, which is an easy 24-minute (15 mile drive) to the condo.
You can also fly into Tampa International Airport, which often offers cheaper flight options, and is just a 1 hr, 20-minute (59 mile) drive away.
For ease and convenience, we do recommend renting a car while on the island. Along Gulf of Mexico Drive, where the condo is located, there is an extensive, paved multiuse walkway (10 miles!) ideal for walking and biking for pleasure, exercise, and purpose. Although you can use this walkway to get you to a few nearby restaurants (Harry's Continental Kitchens, .4 miles; Lazy Lobster, .7 miles; Blue Dolphin Cafe, .8 miles), they are spread out with no main cluster. Likewise, with a car, restaurants and attractions are just a quick 5 - 10 minute drive for most!
If you decide not to rent a car, consider calling one of the following to schedule airport transportation or specific restaurant/activity rides: Longboat Key Transportation, Elite Sedan Services, or Bewitched a Curated Concierge Service. Uber (download the app) is available too, but remember their availability is contingent on time of year, day of week, time, etc.
Due to the petite size of the Silver Sands parking lot, if you are driving to the condo, one parking space is allowed per unit. There is no room for additional cars (second family member car, guest car), jet-skis, trailers, etc. Each car requires a parking pass from the main office.
