Best hotel on the island!
Absolutely incredible stay. The staff could not have been nicer. Beautiful room with comfortable beds. Private beach is stunning and a perfect addition to your stay. I doubt we will ever stay anywhere else on the island and we have tried many other places over the years. A+++

We loved the convenience of being across the street from the beach & chairs, umbrellas, beach towels were included.The breakfast was great. It is grab and go so don't expect full breakfast menu but we enjoyed ours every morning.We didn't have to fix it and it was included!There were bagels, french toast, waffles, different pastries, granola and protein bars, 3 types of juice, hard boiled eggs. The pool was amazing but it closed at 8 pm. I read it was due to turtle season and being a law.We had a murphy bed and it was very comfy. They will clean your room every day if you want it. We are conservative at home and the same when away so we just put the do not disturb sign out and just changed our towels out with the office staff, which on that note. Noah and the WHOLE office team are wonderful. Actually every single person we encountered we so kind and seemed to really want us to enjoy our stay, the cleaning staff and maintenance included. So very friendly!The only thing that might be trouble for some is that only 1 vehicle is allowed so if you are meeting someone from a different direction/not riding with you.I'm not sure what you do.I'm sure there is a solution but since there was just the 2 of us we didn't ask.Thank you Silver Surf and we will definitely be back!Oh and ps there is a trolley stop right out front that takes you all over the island so no need to start your car back up or rent a golf cart.Do yourself a favor and take the pontoon ferry to Bradenton $6 roundtrip

As a person with back problems, sleeping away from home is difficult. The beds were extremely comfortable! Tons of storage in the room if you have a longer stay and very convenient beach chairs and umbrellas. Would definitely stay here again.

Happy as can be!
We were greeted and checked-in by Noah, who was super personable. This motel is in a great location, there are a few restaurants within walking distance and the private beach access was incredible. They offer free umbrellas and free beach chairs as well. We could see the beach from our front door! And Mother Nature did not disappoint with her gorgeous sunsets while we were there. Most sunsets we spent in their heated pool! Such a treat!

I recommend this hotel, nice people front desk, a good location, good beds and pillows, and clean rooms, my children loved it, and everything was perfect except the quality of the breakfast and the staff that cleans and supplies food, it is uncomfortable to have a person complaining about the guests while they clean, and at the same time parked cleaning while you try to take the food, that is the only thing I did not like.

Liked: Noah the receptionist - respectful, friendly and welcoming. Keyless room entry. Room recently updated. Nice beach with a section reserved for Silver Surf guests. Beach towels chairs and umbrellas provided. Bicycles and jet skis for rent. Plenty of parking available. Breakfast was included. Not like: It's a motel marketed as a "resort". All seating to eat breakfast is outside on picnic benches. Have to cross busy street to the beach.
