Place was great! Highly recommend renting it. The only trouble we had was the fridge wasn’t getting cold and lost some food. We told them when we checked out so hopefully they will fix it. Best part was waking up and having coffee looking at the ocean. Amazing!!

Awesome view

Very friendly at the front desk, supply beach towels, there are chairs but not a lot, we brought our own and glad we did. Pool is nice, porch was screened in which does distort view some. Overall, great stay and would come back. No elevator, that I noticed anyway, so if you aren’t great with stairs and carrying luggage up keep that in mind.

Beautifully Decorated and Beautiful Scenery But a Couple Issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spotless, beautiful, and as advertised in the pictures. The concrete steps & no elevator was really scary to us on the 2nd Flr. There's a bad mold problem in the bedroom. My wife's ear was bleeding, & she got a bad ear/sinus infection. Are de-humidifiers offered? We also wished more trolley stops nearby. Also, wished we had our list of cleaning duties alerted to us b4 we returned home from our 5 hour ride. Coffee for every day of our stay would have been nice, & that powdered creamer is poison if you read ingredients. Parking was good.

Beautiful restful vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Silver Sands for several years, and the front desk staff is always very friendly and helpful. The unit is immaculately clean, with beautiful, comfortable furnishings. The view is incredible. The only thing is that the beach chairs could use some cleaning/updating, as some are missing straps or dirty.
