It was an excellent location with beach access that was basically private. Very few people even on days when the public beach was super packed. The resort had umbrellas and wagons for use and it was only a few steps from our room to the beach!

"A" units are very very small rooms cluitered with kitchen items in a poor attempt to make it appear they're providing more. Bed was broken when we arrived and broke again during our stay. Queen beds shouldn't be supported by only 4 boards...there should be a box spring. Only redeeming quality was location and access to beach.

I was a little nervous when I saw some of the recent reviews saying the room wasn’t clean, but honestly this place was so nice! It’s not a brand new resort or anything, but if you’re just looking for a relaxing stay at the beach, this place is perfect! One review said there was mold in the shower, there’s not…the grout is just a little discolored and older, but it’s perfectly fine. I will definitely go back and rebook this resort again someday. The pool was really nice and I love that they provide beach chairs, umbrellas, pool noodles, etc., it made relaxing by the water so much more comfortable!

GREAT

We've stayed at Silver Sands many, many times. This was the first time we rented the "motel room", which was ok, but I would not to that again! We normally rent a one bedroom unit, which is always perfect. But because we booked so late everything else was rented. But would highly recommend Silver Sands. Always totally satisfied.

Not a one bedroom as advertised. A studio with one wooden chair

Great property Very clean People very friendly Advertised as a one bedroom. It was in fact a studio. Had one wooden chair in the room. To make coffee we had to use the bathroom to get water

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we apologize if there was any confusion, our listing does mention the room is a studio room; however, this resort does offer 1 and 2-bedroom units.

Lovely place, well situated. But needs to be deep cleaned.

The place was small, but perfect for us, the bathroom had mold in the shower and around the sink. I contacted the office and they told me to get some bleach and clean it myself, and that should take care of it. Will never stay there again.

The bed pictured in the details is not correct. Blanket had stain(photo attached) It was a joke. I think inflate-able mattress would have been an improvement. There was no support and when we laid down the bed basically folded into a V shape. We suffered through 1 night of the 4 booked. Got email from manager day after we left. No reply after with resolution or re-fund. There was a blood stain on blanket which i assume was from past guest as the frame corners were very sharp.
