Almost perfect

I loved the location looking out at the pool and Gulf. Very quiet and well maintained. Only problem when we checked in there were wet bathing suits on the floor behind the bathroom door. So was the floor even mopped? The bed was very hard a update in the mattress would be nice.

LOCATION is the best!

Walk out the lanai, past the pool, right to the beach! Condo has everything you might need; pool was warm; beautiful landscape! Only change I'd recommend is a new mattress, boxspring, bedframe; it's VERY squeaky and uncomfortable.

Great place and location

Great place, older style hotel right on beach, not modern but thats the nice part of it, very laid back hotel with anything you could want without the prudeness of newer places, and the location is great for biking or walking every morning on beach or down the blvd.

Great Location

Right on a private beach with beach chairs and umbrellas. The rental itself was basic and clean…dated 80s furniture. Linens were clean and acceptable, but could be refreshed. Map provided was confusing,.

Very Nice Stay at Silver Sands

We enjoyed our 5-night stay at the Silver Sands Resort. We arrived right at 5:00. The office was closed but our envelope with keys was in the late-arrival, so we had no problems getting into our unit. The unit was very clean with plenty of space for two people. Loved the screened-in porch overlooking the pool. It is very large and would be nice if there were a couple of comfy chairs other than those at the table where you could just sit and relax. I only gave the rating four stars because I think the interior needs to be updated a little bit.
