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.

The property was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation.The host was awesome, friendly, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. We especially loved enjoying our mornings listening to the waves and watching the sunsets in the evening.If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-maintained beachfront getaway in Florida, this is the perfect place. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable beach vacation!

Perfect condo for our family of 3! Clean, bright, and well-supplied with everything one needs for a beach getaway! The host left us a lovely souvenir and had fresh juice and cake dropped off to the door. The condo itself is steps away from the pool and beach. The whole facility has a friendly staff and beach supplies like wagons and loungers. Highly recommended! Come stay at this great place in beautiful Longboat Key.

Just got back from our long weekend trip to Longboat Key. Had a marvelous stay in the Vitamin Sea property. Everything was just perfect - really nice unit with all the necessities already stocked, steps from a beautiful beach and gorgeous sunsets, and great amenities (to include miniature golf)! Great pool for morning swims. Our host, Heidi, was a gem! Easy reservation/check-in and always making sure we had everything we needed. She even surprised us with a shell ornament gift and cinnamon rolls and OJ on our 1st morning! Many thanks for an absolutely perfect getaway!!

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

Lovely, clean, well-decorated condo with shaded porch overlooking the community pool. We enjoyed reading there, with the beach visible in the distance. 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. What truly made the trip though was Heidi’s care and comfort put into every detail. Highly recommend!

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. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable, and perfectly located getaway, this is the place to book!
