Awesome view

Very friendly at the front desk, supply beach towels, there are chairs but not a lot, we brought our own and glad we did. Pool is nice, porch was screened in which does distort view some. Overall, great stay and would come back. No elevator, that I noticed anyway, so if you aren’t great with stairs and carrying luggage up keep that in mind.

Great view!

Pleasantly surprised. The unit was brighter and nicer than I expected. The pool was very nice and clean. The only complaint is I whacked both of my knees on the corner of the bed frame in the middle of the night. A little bleach would help get rid of the mildew on the clear shower curtain. Overall great and I would stay there again without a doubt.

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: This was our second stay at Silver Sands. It is the PERFECT location and setting on the gulf. The unit was newly renovated and very comfortable. Being on the second floor this time, the views were amazing. The steps were a little tough to navigate with luggage and such but we managed. The management are very responsive and great to deal with. Would definitely stay again!

Relaxing stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed 6 nights at Silver Sands in January 2023. The unit was clean although the bed and pillows were not comfortable. The office staff was very welcoming and helpful. We’ve been renting two units for our family at Silver Sands the past 8 years for spring break week. It’s a great place for families. Last year our 10 yr old grandson complained about the beds so we definitely knew what we were getting.

Excellent view

Location and view of the ocean was excellent. The condo itself needs a little love. Walls need paint, cracks on the balcony and needed a cleaning. Balcony furniture and decor needs major update. The kitchen also needed way more supplies. Can opener that works, colander, spatula and baking dishes. The hair dryer was also super old and didn’t turn off unless it was unplugged.

Not a good place to stay for the price.

The property needs all around updating. Walk to beach is not cleared. No nice pathway. Chairs are old some broken etc. they provide you a zip tie for your umbrella. Pillows in room are old and worn. Air filter was dirty in a/c. I do NOT recommend this place for the cost. I will NOT return.

July 4 weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: My wife and I stayed for three nights Thur-Sun. First time at Silver Sands. Picked oceanfront unit and was willing to pay a premium to do so. All in, it was $460 per night. Our disappointment was the cleanliness of the unit as well as the patio furniture which needs to be removed and replaced since it is in severe disrepair. Dirty pots and pans, kitchen counters were not clean...The unit needs a deep cleaning to make it bring this type of price

A peaceful week

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: My young adult daughters stayed here with us for a week and it was a wonderful place to stay. The beach and pool we’re great. We really enjoyed Cedars fitness and racquet sports across the street and found it a completely relaxing time. The unit itself is a gem. Newly updated and clean. The king size bed is very comfortable. There was one issue that was disappointing and didn’t seem to fit with the rest of the experience and that was the pull out sofa where my daughters slept. It was uncomfortable to sit in as a couch, well worn and stained. That would’ve been tolerable, but the pull out bed was really bad, they were actually extra cushions stuffed under the mattress to help. It was very uncomfortable and my girls said they would’ve preferred an air mattress. The place is so great if we go again we will just take an air mattress. Management and staff were fantastic.

Great View! Needs Upgrades!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very 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: Kitchen table is too high, not beg enough. Only two chairs which are very difficult to get in/out of. Kitchen supplies are really bad. Bed is too high as well. Great view but that's about all it has going for it.
