Fun as usual

Always enjoy staying at Silver Sands. Quaint and clean. Staff is helpful and attentive. The pool is great. The complex sits right on the beach. The beach is great and never overcrowded. Location is very close to several great restaurants and St. Armand Circle which is great for shopping and dining.

Relaxing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The actual unit was GREAT! It could use some maintenance, such as the patio screens are torn, the microwave is rusty inside (but works great), the box springs cover needs replaced & bedroom wall has a little water damage. But we would rent this unit again! Office staff was WONDERFUL!

Great place to stay with private beach

This condo is everything it was represented to be. Beautiful beach. Pool is very clean, warm and inviting. Condo is clean. It is an older unit, not a super luxurious feel, but very accommodating and comfortable. Location is great for walking, beachcombing, convenient to dining. Bed is very comfortable. Would stay here again.

Great weekend getaway for 2

The room itself was clean and was well decorated with a beachy vibe. It was a perfect location for 2 people to spend a couple days at the beach with access to some good local restaurants . The property itself is a bit outdated but it’s hard to beat the location.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The experience was really good. We enjoyed the room a lot. Lots of amenities at the resort and nearby. Due to the tropical storms from the fall of 2024 there was lots of landscaping not looking good but they were fixing it up. The shuffleboard area was not clean. Could use more beach tents especially during the summer when it’s really hot. Our tv was not working and maintenance was supposed to to fix it but they did not.

Quick weekend trip for my husbands birthday. We wanted to enjoy the beach since the hurricane did much damage by our home in Fort Myers. This was the perfect spot. Great location. Reasonably priced. Plenty of beach and pool equipment to use. Nice restaurants in the area as well.
