The place was clean and close to excellent restaurants. We assumed we were staying in the two story building but were in the rooms attached to the office. Had full kitchen and everything you need. The only downside...had lots of rain but that's Florida at this time of year!

Perfect Stay on the Beach

We had a relaxing, peaceful stay at Silver Sands right on a beautiful 10 mile beach. Our efficiency was comfortable and cozy with a functional kitchen for cooking in. We had access to umbrellas and chairs for the beach and poolside. Lots to do if you wanted to venture out or stay and walk the beautiful endless beach. We will be back!

Great location and beach front

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was 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: Great location! Parking lot is crowded and not the best for all the vehicles when crowded. Pool is great as are the convenience of the washer and dryers . Everything is dated and needs some love! Rusted coffee pot, paper towel holder and bath room cosmetic mirror. Bath tub had mold on the tile and rust on the bath tub stopper. Oven element shorted when turned on. Air and dans work great! Ice maker has leak but made ice. Towel drying rack is rusted.

Great Location

Great location, friendly staff, vrbo needs updated cooking pots/pans dishes, etc. Probably to be expected after the hurricane, but if open, then these need to be updated so people staying have the ability to eat in while there. Otherwise, great stay, all you need for the beach!

The condo and location were beautiful. We were not happy with the cleanliness or communication during our stay. The sheets on the pull out couch were very dirty along with the spare sheets/pillow cases in the closet. There were actual crumbs and makeup all over the sheets. There was a half empty bottle of water found under the main bedroom bed when we arrived and a stray sock under the pull out couch. We also found the previous occupants makeup under the coffee table. When I messaged the property manager about the dirty sheets, they didnt respond until the following morning saying they would "let the operations team know". Shortly after, someone showed up to give us clean sheets but not to take the dirty ones or change the sheets themselves. The next day, around 5pm, while my daughters were swimming in the pool, a young boy pooped in the pool (diarrhea floating all around). We got out of the pool and immediately messaged the property manager but since they had left for the day, there was no one to respond (or close the pool to other guests!!) until 9am the next day. So the pool stayed open. I got a response to my message the next morning which again simply said they would let their operations team know. Later (early afternoon) the following day the pool was finally closed for service. There should absolutely be protocol in place for these types of situations. We loved the location but the cleanliness was below average and the communication was disappointing.

Great property, very clean. The owner was amazing. She was wonderful to my employees and took care of them. She went above and beyond for our crew. We will recommend this place to everyone.

Gulf front get-away!

This older but immaculately maintained property was perfect for my short visit with relatives in the area. Right on the gulf with a pool! I saw numerous turtle nests on my daily beach walks. Would come back in a heartbeat!
