You can’t beat the location of this property! Being steps from the beach was ideal. The inside of the property needs to be updated. I highly recommend the property owner provide a key to the deadbolt, only key was to the bottom knob and that didn’t provide much security. I also think a shower liner should be replaced after each guest, ours was dirty with soap scum. A ceiling fan on the patio would be great as well as an in room safe. I’d definitely go back but updates need to be done. All furnishings were nice.

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.

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.
