Whitney Beach Condo | Silver Sands: Open Christmas!

1 Bedroom Condo in Whitney Beach, Longboat Key

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, on-site coin-operated laundry, 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, highchair, and infant tub available 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!

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!
