This was our first visit to Silver Lake, and our family (20+ housed in different accommodations) had an amazing time. The house had everything one could possibly want/need in housewares, linens, etc. The coastal decorations were unique, and I imagine that some have an interesting history. Madison, property manager/owner responded immediately to any and all questions. The location was central to all recreational activities. Its location at the back of the Flora subdivision provides a quiet environment. Our family was so busy with the dunes, beaches, swimming, etc that no one had a chance to swim in the pool (sadly!). And yes, the carpets do need replacing or a good cleaning, but with the rental traffic and the pet-friendly option, I rather it is hard to keep up with carpets. Otherwise the cleanliness was fine. Since we travel with our 13+ year old, never been boarded lab, we are most appreciative to find such a wonderful accommodation.
