Just the Vibes We Wanted

I counted and there were 65 steps to stepping in the sand on the beach from our door. I facetimed my sister and we were both like Nannie would have loved this place. It was reminiscent of the place we would go with our family years ago. Great spot. Quiet beach! I was surprised. I will stay there again when I am not staying with family and need a place. Lovely spot. Fun and tropical vibes

Beautiful vacation

Clean , easy checkin. Stayed in rm 245. Close to pool and beach. The pool was closed down Wed and Thursday unfortunately, but we were offered another alternative. The beach was clean and the weather was perfect . We had a great vacation and cannot wait to return . The bed was comfortable as well as the living room furniture.

It was ok

Our 13 year old loved it and rated it a 5. From my view it was ok. Location is excellent. Grounds are well maintained. Accommodations very tight, a/c stopped working and shower door fell off.

Private getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: It was a great week. The location was awesome, private yet close to action. The porch was dirty with rubber band and paper. Why charge $100 for professional cleaning and then ask guests to run d/w, strip bed, and empty trash?

We got what we wanted!

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: Due to travel delays we arrived late and hoped everything would be in order. We were contacted by an RVA rep to be sure we understood the late arrival protocol. Our rental was very well put together, I would even say crisp! When we had cleaning services they did a fantastic job! There were plenty of tables & chairs, at the pool and umbrellas & beach chairs on the beach. We grilled several times and the grills were very nice.

We had a great stay!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This as Our first stay at Silver Sands and truly had a wonderful experience. Our room was very nicely decorated, clean, and had all the amenities necessary for a stay away from home. Pool is nice, beach access is basically right out the door, and grills were clean, modern and actually worked(unlike a lot of places we have stayed) Can't remember the young gentleman's name(old age glitch), but the front desk manager was a credit to his organization. He was friendly, helpful, efficient, and was constantly moving around the property, checking things out and resolving problems. They ought to give him a raise, for the stellar way he represents his property. We have booked here again for next year!!!!! Try the Lazy Lobster or the Dry Dock for some really good sea food.
