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

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!

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.
