Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We had to sleep first night with non working AC (80 degrees) and dirty cover mattress. Property manager offered another room for next day and this one was perfect. Great property management. Some apartments in very bad condition so be careful which one you are assigned to. Direct access to the beach.

We enjoyed our one night stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. Being steps from the beach was the best part. Our kids also enjoyed spending time in the pool.

Nice Beach Get-a-way
We enjoyed our stay despite the tropical storm and red tide, which were both out of Silver Sands control. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Would definitely return.

Terrific place to stay!
The rooms were very comfortable. Nice having set up so we were actually in the same basic space but each had our own bedroom. Next time we'll choose a bottom floor being no elevator. The beach and it's view is gorgeous but we still were dealing with red tide so didn't go on the beach much after wiggling our feet in the beautiful sand to find a rotting fish under our feet. But I was aware of it, just didn't want to cancel a long awaited trip. Besides that, there was so much to do, we didn't mind. Would definitely stay again.

Great hotel and location. Pool is bigger than most we have seen at hotels. Beach is very secluded and private. The turtle nesting along the beach was incredible to see an even more incredible to learn about. We will definitely be a back

Best Beach Ever
The property is beautiful! We enjoyed the very short walk to the beach. Having two connecting rooms ( one hotel room and one condo type room) was very convenient for our family. Everything was clean when we arrived. I did not realize we could have two parking passes because we had two rooms but nice to know for next time. We would recommend these units to our friends and family!

Excellent STAY HERE
Even though it was FREEZING we still had an excellent time. I would of like to had an extension cord as the only plug in was behind the bed with really no access to it. So we had to leave our phones charging on the floor. Not a big deal but just a suggestion. Kitchen table is super annoying when trying to eat as it moves back and forth. Again something minor.. Thanks again for allowing us to stay we had a fantastic time we will return.

Beautiful view, nice unit but odd floor plan. Patio furniture was very dirty should have been wiped down prior to our arrival. Frying pans need to be thrown out and replaced with new.

Great location; room outdated & needs better maintenance
Bobbi at the front was extremely helpful & accommodating. She did her best to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The room has an odd layout where you enter through a bedroom. That's fine if it's a hotel. I was under the impression this was more like a living style condo. We wanted a 2 bedroom and the entrance from the 2nd bedroom into the living area & kitchen was through our bedroom. The bathroom was really old with worn out caulking & deep black mold areas. The shower doors were the old, sliding ones that can easily come off the track. The bed was comfortable. Newer tv only in the king bedroom with HDMI ability . DVD & CD player was available in living room. A great benefit was access to the fitness center at their sister property 1/2 mile down.
