We had a group of friends who had a fun time and enjoyed the accommodations. The unit was clean and is a great location as it has beach and gulf front access. This was the second time I stayed in this unit. Great location.

We have been vacationing at Silver Sands for many years. It works well for a multigenerational vacation - each family has their own space. We like the pool area and the proximity of the beach with lounge chairs available although this year one morning they were not unlocked til 10:30. The units are clean but some are a little dated. Everyone looks forward to our family vacation at Silver sands - this year we had 15!

My first comment is to say that your Guest Service Agent, Margaret is awesome. Always a smile & ready to help in any way. She takes great care of all your renters. She is a valued representative for your company. we expect to see her back next year!<br/>This is our 2nd yr at SS & as was last year, the overall experience was great. This was our 1st stay in #249. The unit gets high marks in the areas of HVAC, tvs, water pressure. It really had everything we needed. I'm thinking that after this year, the LR sofa might need to be replaced, but otherwise the furnishings were good - beds were very comfortable - the decor very pleasing. As you will see below, we gave 5 stars to all your questions. We are booked for next year and can't wait to return.

Great Getaway!

We had an amazing family time , this unit is the best located one as it faces the pool from your front door and it also faces the beach and access the beach walk from the screened balcony.<br/>Ms Margaret in the office is absolutely excellent and helped me with everything I needed . <br/>We will definitely come back and the only recommendation I have is for 2 of the beds to be updated or replaced please and those are the twin bed in the second room and the sofa bed , as they were not as comfortable.<br/>Thank you so much for great memories

This is our second stay in unit 249 and we loved it even more with the now 2 full bathrooms. Steps from the beach or hangout on the porch and listen to the waves. Staff is super helpful, place is kept up nicely. Only 30 minutes to airport.

Fantastic location on the beach plus a swimming pool. Lounger chairs and umbrellas for the beach were provided, as well as buckets and spades for the children if they needed them. The grandchildren had a great couple of days on the beach. There was everything you needed for a relaxing vacation.

Our family has vacationed at Silver Sands for many years. This year we rented 3 units. The location is great, the beach and pool are favorite gathering spots and the units themselves were well stocked and immaculate.

Great stay! Wish it was longer!

My second time at Silver Sands. Once again, I was not disappointed. One reason relates to your manager, Ryne. I had a couple of issues and he dealt with them promptly and effectively. What a great personality for his job. If I return I hope he is NOT there. That is not an insult. He should be managing a bigger facility. Can't say enough good things about him

We stayed at silver sands for our daughters birthday. We rented unit 249 and it was perfect. Directly on the beach, private porch, clean and adorably decorated. We’ve already looked to rebook this unit. Great for a beach weekend. Highly recommend

If you love the beach, this is the most wonderful place ever!!! The gulf is right outside your front door. It isn’t crowded and the resort provides umbrellas and chairs. The sand is like sugar. As if that wasn’t heavenly enough, the side door leads to the pool and shuffleboard and miniature golf. Lots of fabulous restaurants on the island. Host is very professional and friendly.

We spent two weeks at Silver Sands in early November. I can't imagine better vacations (although I worked online and kids had their school lessons till 3 pm). Warm days and nights, empty beach and quiet sea, with occasional dolphins and even manatees. The apartment is spacious and clean, and it can comfortably accommodate a family of four, with all necessary amenities. The hotel's pool is just a few steps from the door. #249 is facing the beach and the sea, with a small porch, so we could pick our beach staff and walk out seamlessly. Full kitchen allowed us to avoid restaurants in COVID19 times. Great experience, we would dream to return there again!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and will likely be back. We stayed in an ocean front suite. Pros: parking, immediate beach access, pool, full kitchen, family/kid friendly. Cons: housekeeping came once - they also took some of our beach towels, housekeeping also didn't replace any of the towels they took. Seems other people had the same experience. Ants in the kitchen. We had to be very careful with food and dishes.
