Everything was good. Just would been nice to have enough towels for all 8 that it sleeps. Also could have benefited from having a cookie sheet and full size pan to use.

Comfortable Condo

We enjoyed our stay at the Pearl Marlin. The condo was very clean and comfortable. We had a minor issue with the cable tv and lack of batteries in the remote. The management team arrived within minutes of being contacted. I was impressed.

Silver Sand

Our property was very dirty and filthy, my wife and I spent two hours cleaning and sanitizing the unit and shower heads just so that we could use them/it. There was no ocean front nor ocean view and the boardwalk wasn’t accessible from the unit. I will never stay at that location again and I will never use Silver Sand for any of my future needs.

Rainy Start, Great Finish!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very comfortable and exactly what we expected from the pictures. The only issue we had was the wrong password for the wifi but Silver Sands sent someone over immediately and helped us fix the issue. The condo is right on 11th street and about a five minute walk to the boardwalk to the beach. It is very conveniently located to all the local attractions. We arrived during a small tropical depression which made the walk to the beach muddy and and the mosquitoes aggressive. But we got to eat at all of our favorite restaurants in spite of the rain. We would definitely stay here again.

Last Minute Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We didn't plan our vacation until two weeks prior so there weren't many available places at Port A by that point. Luckily we found this condo. The price was great and the place is decent. Few issues - the couch is cracked and peeling, the flooring in one bedroom is badly warped and there is sort of a musty smell. All(except the couch), I'm sure, are from the storm and the fact the lower floor condos haven't been completed yet. Other than those things the condo was clean and looks freshly renovated. The pool area is nice and the grounds are well kept.

Pearl Marlin unit great.......service not so much

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Pearl Marlin unit itself was great, exactly as described. The management, not so much. It started with 4 phone calls asking for early check in...did not get in till 4 on a Friday afternoon , when we noticed no wifi. No service till Sun afternoon. We even had trouble finding it, the office said "right down the street", it was, but address was in 4 inch high letters, actually went to wrong unit (same number) . A map with some detail might help. As I said, unit was fine, but overall property management could be improved.

Great location - housekeeping issues

We loved the location and the space but I do not think housekeeping cleaned prior to our visit. The first floor where the pull-out couch is, the sheets were dirty with stains on them. The second floor, one of the bathrooms had a used soap bar and the bed had sand in the sheets. The other bedroom had a blood stain on the comforter and the floor was covered in sand. I know being near the water, roaches are common but this unit had issues. Another problem was our door code stopped working and we had to call the management company. While on the phone with them we told them we believe the battery is going out. We waited about an hour for someone to show up who tried the code and said I need to get a key to let you in. He left and came back 30 minutes later again with no key, but had a screwdriver and busted open the door. We are not ones to complain but we feel these issues need to be addressed.

Cute condo but only 3 stars for me

Upon arrival, the condo looked just like the pictures. It was decorated cute and overlooks the pool. They had plenty of dishes and cookware. It didn’t feel as clean as we expected though. The floors were very dirty. Bring your own wash cloths as they only give you 1 per bathroom. There were plenty of bath towels. One of the biggest concerns was the entire time we stayed here, we felt sick. It was like a cold or allergies but only experienced the symptoms in the condo, especially at night. We woke up with sore throats and stuffed up nose but symptoms would disappear within minutes of leaving. It makes me wonder if there was mold. I don’t think we will rent a place over a shared pool again. There was loud partying and music that went on until 1-2am every night. There’s no after hours contact so you pretty much have to deal with it. It would have been nice to have an in unit washer and dryer. With the current quarter shortage, it was impossible to find anywhere to get quarters. We enjoyed our visit to Port A. Silver Sands was very pleasant to work with.

Very nice weekend

We really enjoyed everything here but the Wi-Fi didn’t work. Also, a place to rinse sandy chairs from the beach would be helpful. If there is a hose we couldn’t find it. But we definitely recommend this property.

Nice place to stay

This condo was nicely furnished, quiet and well maintained. Too many steep stairs for us but as long as you don't mind stairs it's a great place. Our only issue was with the separate laundry facility, we prefer units with washer/dryer included. We didn't have any problem with the washers being in use but it was hard to find quarters. The Sea Sands office didn't keep any on hand.

Rough around the edges

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is a two-story unit on the second floor. Surrounded by construction. Not clear in description. Living, dining and kitchen are nice but bedrooms need freshing up. Could have used more than one set of towels per person considering the laundry is in another location not in unit. Can’t watch tv in bedrooms unless you subscribe to roku.

Little rough around the edges

This unit is on the second floor. The unit is two story. Not made clear in description. Exterior (mostly landscape) was not in good shape. Majority of the property was under construction including the unit below us. Could not watch tv on “flat screen” in king size bedroom unless you have Roku subscription. No cable For a three night stay it would have been nice to have a couple more towels because laundry was in separate building. I would not stay here again

We had a hard time getting in as the code on the door had not been reprogrammed. We had to call the office and it took us about 30 minutes to get inside. The staff were very helpful during each call. Inside the condo was nice and comfortable. It is not close to the beach and hard to find the "walkover" which is located behind another group of condos. Pool was nice and well kept. Lots of parking available and the Location was easy access.

family beach time

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo itself was clean but the outside looked run down but I believe they are renovating it. we asked for blankets and towels since there were not enough, we did finally get them the next afternoon. The TV in the master bedroom never would come on even after several calls to the office. The dishwasher was not secured in so every time you opened it, the whole thing would fall forward making it very difficult to load dishes in it. Overall the interior was clean just remember to bring your own toilet paper and paper towels.
