Good location. Dishwasher in need of repair. Large mirror leaning against back wall unsecured and could have posed a danger to children. Room looked nicer in photos tan in person.

We loved the view from our unit. There were always beach chairs available and lots of space on the beach. The marine life is wonderful to experience! It's great for families and no crossing streets to go to the pool or beach. Staff and guests were friendly. A few tweaks to the room, (updated, unsoiled sofa, drain plug that works for tub, dish drainer, kitchen sink stopper and baking pan), would improve the unit stay. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would like to return in the future with our extended family.

Old Florida vibe, but nice room, clean, great location. Not luxurious, but very nice for the price. Felt like we had our own private beach. Beach chairs and umbrellas provided was a nice touch. Room was clean, good layout, but could use a little update. First time in this area, it was absolutely beautiful! We’ll be back!

Having our own kitchen is vital - we enjoy making our own meals sometimes.A comfortable living area to relax after a day at the beach is great. Love the patio overlooking the pool area.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This just confirms to me that you all don't have a clue what goes on. I notified at least a month ago that I was not able to stay bc of daughter hospitalization. I received emails telling me how to get keys and what to do since I was going to be a late arrival. Now I receive a review request. I request a REFUND since I was not able to be there and the place was not used. But I am sure that will go absolutely unnoticed! Get it together, people!!

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is really great, and so is the pool areaThe unit (#251) itself needed some attention: the bedroom blind was broken, the bed was like sleeping on a slab of concrete, the bedding was in poor taste, the toilet wouldn't stop running unless you jiggled the handle, bulbs were out, the dishes were old and in poor condition, and the couch was faded and worn.Also, if you want privacy, this is not the place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: We stayed at the Silver Sands on several occasions. We stayed in this room a few times. This time we noticed that it definitely needs some updating. Need some TLC around it. Ceiling fan in living area. Light switch is not working. Plus it is damaged. Some Slants in windows going outdoor missing and will not close without pulling it shut. Bottom line it just needs to be given a critical eye look. Also, in the past, we have found the lounge chairs to be very good. This time most of them at the beach area were broken or definitely needed the rigging replaced. Also, the provision for umbrellas was nonexistent or damaged. This is very helpful for many of us who fly in and have no way to bring those things with us.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very dirty, dusty and dated. We had to cover the sofa throw pillows and chair with sheets. We had to wash all the dishes, silverware and cups before we can use them. We also had to wash the whole silverware drawer, the toaster and toaster oven. Margarette from the office was very accommodating and she herself dusted the Livingroom and sent someone to vacuum. We enjoyed the beach and the pool and would go there again but not unit 251
