Great place to soak up the sun at the pool and private beach!!
Pros:

Wonderful experience every time we stay at Silver Surf! It's impressive to see how well the property is maintained, even down to the last detail! The front office staff is always friendly, as well as the maintenance crew and housekeeping staff. Rooms are always clean and well-maintained. The pool and private beach access with chairs and umbrellas are what keep us coming back!

I feel very at home at Silver Surf
Pros:

The Silver Surf is absolutely amazing. We are back for about 10 years now. They have everything to make your stay comfortable and to feel very pampered. I love the heated pool, well maintained with convenient rest rooms. The morning breakfast is a very friendly, welcoming touch. Makes you feel valued. The beach area provides great amenities. You have everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Most of all, the front desk staff is always friendly and helpful. I feel very at home here.

Highly recommend.
Pros:

Friends had recommended the Silver Surf resort on Ana Maria Island. We gave it a try and were very happy we did. All staff members were very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and comfortable. The pool area was nice and the location of the beach was wonderful. We will definitely stay here on future travels to AMI.

Perfect Anna Maria Vacation
Pros:

Silver Surf lived up to its many five star reviews. It deserves top ratings for friendly, clean and comfortable. It's an old-fashioned motel that's been beautifully updated with modern furnishings & room design that makes everything convenient.
We loved swimming laps in the heated pool & having a lovely beach with chairs, loungers & umbrellas less than a minute from our room. Having a kitchennette was a big plus too - perfect for fixing light meals and having drinks and snacks handy in the full-size fridge.

We always choose Silver Surf
Pros:

This is where we choose to stay whenever we visit AMI. The entire facility is clean and well kept. The office staff is friendly and helpful, the location can’t be beat. The private beach with chairs and proximity to the trolley stop make this hotel the best lodging for the money.

Relaxing getaway
Pros:

Perfect low-key place to relax for a week - great location - incredible beach - nice heated pool - walking distance to bridge street which is a plus because traffic can sometimes be tough- tiki bar steps away - nothing negative to say about this place- why I have come many times from Massachusetts

Location and amazing staff
Pros:

Amazing place at a fantastic location (shops, restaurants) with an amazing staff all around (Shout-out to Noah and Angie). I wish I could keep this place a secret but they deserve to thrive so I raise my glass to them and thank them for the amazing stay. We will be back (yet again).
On day one we strolled onto their gorgeous beach and were greeted by dolphins. On day 2 we visited the North of the island and it sugary powder white beaches ate at a restaurant by the ocean and came back to the hotel at night greeted by an amazing sunset. On day 3 we realized it was sadly time to leave...
