Pros: Silver sands has a great location on the beach. Awesome ocean view from our patio. Great location to restaurants. Cons: Very difficult to get a hold of front desk. Tried for over a week and finally had to call RVA and they had the front desk call me back. Once there still no answer at front desk. Very frustrating.Also, at check in and through out our stay our room had a VERY strong odor. Not sure if it was a cleaning supply or pesticide but not good.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed our beachfront location, ocean views, and convenient access to nearby restaurants. We sincerely apologize, however, for the difficulty you experienced reaching the front desk and for the frustration that caused, as well as the strong odor in your room during your stay. This is not the experience we want for our guests, and we are addressing both concerns with our team to ensure better communication and a more comfortable environment moving forward. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Great condo!!

Last minute getaway for 2. The resort has easy access to beach chairs, umbrella, floats and some toys for kids. We had a great view and the condo had everything we needed. We had groceries delivered and took Ubers to dinner. The nice women at the front office even helped revive our groceries when we couldn’t make it back on time. Will definitely recommend and will book again!

Pleasant stay

The place is roomy and nice and big, nice view.But as soon we got there the toilet was not working we had to flush it by touching the float each time cause maintenance wasn’t available till the next morning. The other thing we weren’t crazy about for a condo that when you walk in you’re in the bedroom so when you open the door people can look right in. Despite all that we would probably stay again.Thanks Silver Sands

Personal Paradise

This is the very best place to stay on any beachin FL. The beach view as soon as you walk into the room is stunning. The room was clean, conveniently located and stocked with the right amount of towels, amenities for the first night. We ran to the Publix a few miles down the road and got coffee, cream and a few snacks. The kitchen has plates and cookware. Beach chairs, umbrellas and floats were available for use. It's like having your own private beach. My husband and I enjoyed this stay very much and will be back a lot!

Last Minute Getaway

We had the opportunity to do a last minute getaway and ran across this gem. The property and location were exactly what we were looking for. Check in was quick and everyone was helpful. The weather was amazing and we loved the fact that the condo was away from the tourist area but within minutes to stores/restaurants. The beach and ocean are beautiful and reminded us of the Caribbean vacation we had to cancel in April. Our room was great! It was very clean and had everything we needed. I loved sitting out on the screened in balcony looking out at the pool and ocean. It was a treat to actually have a pool that was warm enough for me to walk right into - we spent many hours in it. This is definitely a place we will be going back to!
