My husband and I stayed here fourteen years ago and remembered it fondly. An opportunity arose as we were babysitting our five year old granddaughter - so we came back with her and had a wonderful time. The unit was attractive, clean and comfortable. Management was friendly and attentive. Facility is fabulous!

Great place, just need more in the kitchen and let people leave spices for all to use. A fan on the patio would be great too. Wish they would have umbrellas set up on the beach for guests, ours kept falling over. For sure coming back.

We had a wonderful relaxing time at the HEATED pool and beach. My husband and I are retired but watch our grandkids. We ended up sharing this vacation with our 5-year-old granddaughter who is still in preschool. Grandpa and Grandaughter must have stayed in the pool 12 hrs a day. The condo we stayed in was updated but it could use a few more items for cooking. The refrigerator was an eyesore, but it worked great. The property's mgmt was 100 percent positive and VERY friendly and professional. Would recommend and stay here again.

Amazing Vacation Rental!

We absolutely loved our stay. The unit was clean, we LOVED the resort atmosphere, the easy steps to the water, the sea turtles, the bike trails, and easy access to delicious to local restaurants. We definitely will come back! The remaining comments are meant to be constructive because our stay was lovely! Sleeper sofa is pretty bad. It desperately needs a new matress. Master bed is VERY comfortable. Fort he $$ of the rental, please updte the refrigerator. The ice box decides when it does and does not want to work. The whole refrigerator shows rust. Also, please spend $5.00 or less on a shower curtain liner that isn't yellow with age (or whatever it is).

Very cute and clean

This unit is the best in the whole place from what we saw! Modern and clean design and very clean. Perfect family weekend getaway steps from the beach! The putt putt was a nice bonus for when the kids needed a break from swimming. Only negative was most of the grills seemed out of propane but we made it work. <br/>We will be back!!

We had a great time. The only two things I would change is the sofa and carpet are not sofa fabric. You have to wear socks and also cover the sofa with a blanket to enjoy. Other than that, everything was great. Location, view, size, accommodations..... Great!

We have our annual family reunion at Silver Sands every year. Overall, we are always happy with our stay. We did have one problem when we stayed 3 weeks ago. When my kids prepared to go to bed on the fold out couch, they discovered there were no linens available. The same thing happened to another family member staying in another unit.

Secluded and ON the beach, do it.

If you want a place to get away and not be near crowds, this is for you. Private beach only a short walk from your room. No crossing roads or parking lots, just Walk. To. The. Beach. We brought a 10x10 canopy and just left it up all day even though we came back to the room multiple times. On a public beach we may have seen that walk away. They also offer free beach chairs and umbrellas, nice bonus. The rooms are nice, nothing fancy. A few issues but nothing to write about here. The staff fixed the only one that really needed attention within 5 minutes. The pool was green, the pool guy showed up the day we left. Not a huge deal, we weren't after the pool anyways. We wanted a secluded place to stay for a couple nights and just get away from people and see some sunsets. This was perfect. We did need to run to Publix one night and it was just 10 minutes down the road. Quick in and out and back to relaxing :) We will for sure be back, hopefully soon.

Simple, quiet, all we needed. Not nearly as crowded as most other places because the property is surrounded by personal residences. The beach was spacious and not crowded.

Thank you for the comments.
