Tranquil Ocean Retreat!

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 complimentary chairs and 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 (WiFi connection poolside!), mini golf course, shuffleboard, two BBQ grills, complimentary beach lounge chairs and umbrellas, onsite laundry, 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 (new mattress as of April 2022!) and television 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 (new as of August 2022!), which is just perfect for extra members of your party - the little ones! There is cable Television and DVD player for entertainment, when you're not on the beach, plus a variety of reading material and board games. Wifi, of course, is available throughout.

There is full heating and air conditioning (brand new unit as of April 2022!) throughout the condo, plus a ceiling fan in the living room and an extra floor fan, if needed. There is a smoke detector too.

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

The living room flows into the fully stocked (coffee maker, blender, Tupperware, wine glasses, etc.) kitchen, 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!

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

There are two propane grilling stations poolside with BBQ utensils in our unit.

At the complex, there are two washing machines and two dryers. Each load costs $2, and quarters are available from the main office. Detergent can be purchased there too or at nearby local Publix. There is a main dumpster, along with recycling bins, on property too for trash disposal.

The best part of our condo is the ample space, ocean view, 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 toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hand soap, paper towels, sponge, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, and laundry detergent. 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, please stop by in the morning instead.

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. Our guest cancellation policy is "Moderate" so we will not refund reservations due to inclement weather, hurricanes, red tide, snowstorms, etc., in our area of the country or yours. Of course, we will certainly work with you to reschedule for a better time period, if needed! If this is a concern, please consider purchasing trip insurance prior to your vacation. Thank you!
