Tennis, Basketball, Pickleball, and Shuffleboard – Forget your gear? No worries, you can check out rackets, balls, and more at the front desk at no charge!

• Annual Easter Egg Hunt in the Courtyard – Easter Sunday, 9 am in the courtyard

• S’mores Nights with Live Music at the Pool –Wednesday nights are awesome at Silver Dunes! Throughout June and July, the firepits will be out, s’mores roasting, and tunes playing!

Beautiful views, great location!

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: Living room furniture needs to be replaced and updated, very uncomfortable. It would be great to have a recliner in the living area. My husband is disabled, so that would make it much more comfortable for him. Patio furniture is a bit rusty.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at silver dunes for 5 years now and we love it and have always had great condos except this one. The furniture is all way outdated, the sofa bed in the living room was very unclean and unsanitary, I could not even let my kids sleep on it which put us in a bind. All of the bedrooms mattresses need to be updated as well. Other than that everything is always so nice at silver dunes. Just won’t stay in this specific condo again.

Beautiful views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit desperately needs new furniture in the living area. Very outdated and uncomfortable. A recliner or two would be wonderful with a comfortable couch. Many of the other units have had major updates hopefully this one will before we come next year. We do love the location.

extremely disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: - Pool closed for repairs entire week (no mention on booking) - Condo was extremely musty, moldy smelling, came home with head cold and congestion from smell. - spent $40.00 on febreeze and scented candles. Master bedroom smelled so bad I slept on the couch all week - No cushions provided for the cabanas (first time in over 30 years) - Covered parking roped off and not available all week. no work took place while I was there - Washing machine broken. carried wash to family member in another unit - Both shower heads suck!!! could have gotten a better shower from the rinse station on the beach. I mean shower heads are $10..... - One bathtub didnt drain by the time u were rinsed enough to get out water was past your ankles. - Arrived to a dishwasher packed full of half clean dishes and an aweful smell - After 30+ years of coming here the week after Christmas, I can say that this was probably the last year I will stay at silver dunes. - Never had any issue while house keeping was on site, this has almost become a joke

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: Our usual experience with Silver Dunes has been good. This year was challenging. We reserved a unit on the 4th floor and upon arrival we were told the elevator was being serviced and wouldn’t be working for half of the stay. We had to get a hotel because we arrived after hours. We had no notice beforehand that the elevator would be out. We chose this unit because of a disability, and this was next to the elevator and disabled parking. The disabled parking also was not available due to repairs happening at the facility. Nothing was offered to try and compensate us. We were moved to another unit the next day where the elevator was working. This unit needs updating badly. Mold was on the walls in one of the bedrooms. So not our expectation at all this year. I would still recommend Silver Dunes as we have been there either with our parent or our own rental for many years. We enjoy the location and George and David at the beach are great. Glad to see the updates happening. But communication with customers is important and customer satisfaction is key. Disappointed in that this year.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice vacation in the rental unit. We thought the unit was nice and clean. We did think the furniture had been arranged in a way that didn’t really in our opinion suit the layout of the condo. We had a problem with electrical outlets that needs to be resolved. All other issues were quickly resolved.

Beautiful beachfront , spacious condo

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: I think my condo was very lovely. Lovely beach access. Nice music one evening and very enjoyable.Nice family oriented vacation spot but not really a place for couple with no children or grandchildren. Would probably not stay again due to many screaming kids, unless I had children or grandchildren.

Condo was wonderful, new beach service was horrible!

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: I grew up going to the Silver Dunes and have since taken my family! The reasons we love it so much is the beautiful courtyard, for the kids to play and the wonderful beach service provided by George. Well let me tell you, you can for sure tell George is gone. Our chairs were moved 3 times the first day, no customer service. Chris said he would comp the first day but then charged us for the full amount. Boy is this going to hurt the Silver Dunes. The beach service was a stand out and what made people return year after year. I spoke with several other people and they all felt the same way about the chairs and service. Just not the same...

Room B1303

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than 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: The room is very dated, there was a strong odor to the room, the rug has stains everywhere and should be replaced. There is kitchen table in the middle of the living room that should not be there. The master king room was very nice and clean. Carpets in both bedrooms were new. Both bathrooms very clean. The bedroom with two beds is cluttered with extra furniture and book shelves. Overall, if the strong odor, carpet, and furniture layout was fixed, the room would have been acceptable. Location is great, would stay again if problems are corrected.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location.

Reviewer Comments: This beach and the location are amazing, which were the best parts of this condo. The condo itself was very outdated, had a terrible odor to it, was missing closet doors, sink parts, etc. It had not been kept up well and was overpriced for what it was.

Prefect location

Wonderful location! Smell like a men’s locker room, mildew. Needs to change out carpet and some minor renovations. Other than that it’s a beautiful property. Can’t wait to return back to Sliver Dunes.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2021
