This was a nice rental close to the beach. The property was as advertised and clean. Our only complaint was the dishwasher was really old and had a bad smell. I saw a new one in a box in the main office. Maybe a replacement? Check in easy, check out we waited a while for someone to show up but was fast and easy. It is true that you have to walk through the bedrooms to get into the place but we didn't mind. Enjoyed ourselves.

Lovely place with amazing location and view. We really liked our rental and it was fully furnished with everything we needed. The property manager was extremely helpful and friendly, Margaret I think was her name. We are coming back at the beginning of January to enjoy the beach and property once again. The price was very reasonable. The unit is a little older, but in very good condition and clean.

We have been coming to this same place and staying in this same suite for many years. We were HIGHLY disappointed with the significant increase in the overall expense and then NOT honoring the discount for frequent stayers. We really are contemplating going elsewhere next year. Also the owner did not renew daily service for the suite so we had to clean ourselves and go for extra towels and supplies. Another reason to be very DISAPPOINTED

Great hotel and location. Pool is bigger than most we have seen at hotels. Beach is very secluded and private. The turtle nesting along the beach was incredible to see an even more incredible to learn about. We will definitely be a back

The rooms were very comfortable. Nice having set up so we were actually in the same basic space but each had our own bedroom. Next time we'll choose a bottom floor being no elevator. The beach and it's view is gorgeous but we still were dealing with red tide so didn't go on the beach much after wiggling our feet in the beautiful sand to find a rotting fish under our feet. But I was aware of it, just didn't want to cancel a long awaited trip. Besides that, there was so much to do, we didn't mind.
Would definitely stay again.

Nice Beach Get-a-way
We enjoyed our stay despite the tropical storm and red tide, which were both out of Silver Sands control. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Would definitely return.

We arrived and had no warning of the red tide. The only clue was all the dead fish on the beach. I understand it’s a natural occurrence and nothing property management could control but would have been nice to have a heads up. Cleaning service was minimal. Even when requested we only got fresh towels. The suite was never sweep and we didn’t have a broom. Overall it was just okay. Not horrible, not great but with the investment made would have expected more.

The property is beautiful! We enjoyed the very short walk to the beach. Having two connecting rooms ( one hotel room and one condo type room) was very convenient for our family. Everything was clean when we arrived. I did not realize we could have two parking passes because we had two rooms but nice to know for next time. We would recommend these units to our friends and family!

Excellent STAY HERE
Even though it was FREEZING we still had an excellent time. I would of like to had an extension cord as the only plug in was behind the bed with really no access to it. So we had to leave our phones charging on the floor. Not a big deal but just a suggestion. Kitchen table is super annoying when trying to eat as it moves back and forth. Again something minor.. Thanks again for allowing us to stay we had a fantastic time we will return.

Odd floor plan
Beautiful view, nice unit but odd floor plan. Patio furniture was very dirty should have been wiped down prior to our arrival. Frying pans need to be thrown out and replaced with new.

Great location; room outdated & needs better maintenance
Bobbi at the front was extremely helpful & accommodating. She did her best to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The room has an odd layout where you enter through a bedroom. That's fine if it's a hotel. I was under the impression this was more like a living style condo. We wanted a 2 bedroom and the entrance from the 2nd bedroom into the living area & kitchen was through our bedroom. The bathroom was really old with worn out caulking & deep black mold areas. The shower doors were the old, sliding ones that can easily come off the track. The bed was comfortable. Newer tv only in the king bedroom with HDMI ability . DVD & CD player was available in living room. A great benefit was access to the fitness center at their sister property 1/2 mile down.
