My wife and I spent five nights at the Silver Surf and we have no reason to look anywhere else for our next visit. We loved the beach directly across the street (with the free beach chairs for hotel guests) and the hotel pool was just as enjoyable when it got a little too windy to sit at the beach.... More

Stayed here for 4 days earlier this month and for the price it can't be beat. We stayed on Anna Maria beach last year and wanted to go back. The prices for those that were available were sky high but a hotelier recommended Silver Surf. With it's own beach a few steps away it was ideal and everything we could... More

Old Florida Motel, but very clean. When we decided to go to the Sarasota Area in the middle of February, we found just about everything onor near the beach VERY EXPENSIVE or already booked. We stayed at Silver Surf for the same price we would have paid for a "modern" room near I-75. No, the property isn't "right on the... More

Wonderful room, lots of space for the two us, great places to eat and observe the most spectacular sunsets. We will be coming back often. Probably bring the kids too! Hobie cats, paddle boards, key skiis, kayaks.... What more is there?!

Our first time staying here and we booked a promotion that was available. Stay two nights and third night was free. Feb 8-11, 2012. The resort is right across the road from a beautiful beach where chairs and umbrellas are available for free. The rooms were very clean but small and basic. The wifi worked great while we were there.... More

we have stayed here three times in four years and I am tempted not to review it because we like it quiet ha ha! This hotel is by far the best value we have found in the area. We prefer the one story building because it has little patio areas and gets the afternoon sun, it is an old building... More

Brandenton Beach - What a spot! Fanstastic location and people. Very friendly and quiet. Not pretentious though. If you are expecting a fancy place and service, go somewhere else. But if you want a little room with all necessary amenities, from a small kitchen, dishware, fridge et all for a nice, quiet vacation, that's the spot. Literally 5 minutes walking... More

We made last minute reservations here and the staff was quite accomodating and friendly. The room was $100.35 per night inclusive of tax (10.5%). It had: fridge, small electric stove, microwave, toaster, coffee pot, some basic cookery items, dinette with 4 chairs, queen size bed, a murphy bed, 2 sitting chairs, flat screen TV, and AC. It appears to have... More

This is NOT a fancy resort. It's a motel type place, and the term "throw back" fits it well. Feels like something out of the 60s, but so does the entire island, so it fits perfectly. Staff was very helpful; you will not find better. Rooms were adequate, but again, older... they were clean and comfortable, but could have used... More

We stay at the Silver Surf with our extended families every 4th of July weekend. We go back every year because of the price, the beach and the service! It is older, but clean. There is a lady across the street who will set up your umbrellas and chairs (no cost) and every room has a small kitchen so you... More
