About this apartment rental
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!

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!!

We had an amazing stay at this beachfront property! The location couldn’t have been better—just steps from the beach with breathtaking views every day. 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.

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
