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.

Beautifully Decorated and Beautiful Scenery But a Couple Issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spotless, beautiful, and as advertised in the pictures. The concrete steps & no elevator was really scary to us on the 2nd Flr. There's a bad mold problem in the bedroom. My wife's ear was bleeding, & she got a bad ear/sinus infection. Are de-humidifiers offered? We also wished more trolley stops nearby. Also, wished we had our list of cleaning duties alerted to us b4 we returned home from our 5 hour ride. Coffee for every day of our stay would have been nice, & that powdered creamer is poison if you read ingredients. Parking was good.

Beautiful restful vacation!

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: We have stayed at Silver Sands for several years, and the front desk staff is always very friendly and helpful. The unit is immaculately clean, with beautiful, comfortable furnishings. The view is incredible. The only thing is that the beach chairs could use some cleaning/updating, as some are missing straps or dirty.

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.

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!
