Great vacation for my family of 4!
Pros:

We had a wonderful time at Silver Surf and absolutely fell in love with Bradenton Beach/AMI. The room meet all our expectations and was just what my family of 4 needed. The access to the beach couldn’t have been better and to add the complimentary chair and umbrella set up was top notch. My kids loved the beach and pool! We will definitely be back in the future! Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing!
Pros:

I loved everything about silver surf! The location couldn’t be beat, and the access to the beach was incredible. The room was clean and big enough for 2 people and we were thrilled there was a full sized fridge and freezer. The shower was great with amazing water pressure and hot temperatures. There was plenty of storage to unpack and really make ourselves at home and the cleaning staff made sure our room was clean when we needed it.

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.
