The condo was spacious, well-appointed, and clean. Silver Sands is in a great location. We loved the pool, shuffleboard, and put-put golf, and, of course, the beautiful beach. Access to Cedars was also great!
The office was very accommodating, the place was spotless and had everything we needed. My only negative is that one of the washing machines did not work properly, but the office gave me extra quarters so I could dry the load ....
Stayed here with family. There were five of us and this place suited us perfectly. Very friendly staff at the office. We had everything we needed and had a great time. Would definitely rent here again.
Property was very spacious, impeccably maintained, and perfect location! Resort was right on the beach, everything was beautifully maintained, pool was warm and wonderful, and the beach was just about the best (if you like calm, gentle waves) that I have ever seen (even better than Siesta Key Beach!). Soft, gorgeous sand and almost crystal clear blue water. Staff was super-helpful and kind, very accommodating. Rooms were even larger (and better quality) then the pictures conveyed. I can't recommend this place enough!

Beautiful, well-furnished condo with awesome beach access. However, light bulbs were burnt out in 2 of the lamps,blinds were broken in 1 BR, refrigerator was very noisy,toilet base was wobbly in BR 1, large kitchen wall clock didn't work,front door lock needed repair, found live cockroaches in kitchen, all windows were filthy, canvas awning on patio needed repair, traffic noise made it difficult to sleep, small water heater made it hard for all 4 people to take warm showers. Very disappointed for paying this kind of money!

The location was nice and right on the beach. The room was average at best. wasn’t very clean and it is a little rundown and worn out. Nothing smelled clean and it was shabby. Needs paint and a good deep clean. The family room area rug is old and worn out and was curling up which was a tripping issue. Wouldn’t stay again

We had a wonderful time! I have stayed here several times and love the location. Our rental was very comfortable and spacious. Would love to come back again!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The space was perfect for our family. Clean and spacious for us to be together but still have our own space.
I just wish we would have had more beach towels. Will stay there again.
Our stay was following the hurricane that battered the area including this resort. I’d like to give a lot of grace

Great location
Had a wonderful long weekend here with extended family. Unit was clean, fantastic location steps from the powdery white sand beach. Great that they had lounge chairs for us to use. Nice pool with pool toys available as well. Harry's market right down the road was perfect for our food/drink needs. Free gym pass to a gym within walking distance was wonderful also.
Was good weekend. Great location and property. Property manager doesn't seem to know much about property (certainly doesn't know details. Minimal dishes and utensils. Is a property I'd visit again.

Beautiful condo. Very clean and huge! The private beach was wonderful, and everyone was very nice and went out of their way to be helpful.
Clean inside and out! Great beach access. Wonderful staff cleaning the grounds daily. Our space was perfect for parents with adult children age 18-24. We could easily rise early and the kids not hear us. Had beach chairs and other items to borrow for the beach. Full kitchen and awesome gas grills at the pool!
Nice location on the island and great private beach. The check-in staff were friendly and helpful. The unit is as pictured in the ad. It’s a bit dated and has a strange layout making it a 3 bedroom unit with one bedroom having a separate entrance from the outside.

It was nice. There is no elevator. I feel the shower curtain, pillows and bedding could have been a better quality for the price I paid
