Pros: Silver sands has a great location on the beach. Awesome ocean view from our patio. Great location to restaurants. Cons: Very difficult to get a hold of front desk. Tried for over a week and finally had to call RVA and they had the front desk call me back. Once there still no answer at front desk. Very frustrating.Also, at check in and through out our stay our room had a VERY strong odor. Not sure if it was a cleaning supply or pesticide but not good.

Great condo!!

Last minute getaway for 2. The resort has easy access to beach chairs, umbrella, floats and some toys for kids. We had a great view and the condo had everything we needed. We had groceries delivered and took Ubers to dinner. The nice women at the front office even helped revive our groceries when we couldn’t make it back on time. Will definitely recommend and will book again!

Pleasant stay

The place is roomy and nice and big, nice view.But as soon we got there the toilet was not working we had to flush it by touching the float each time cause maintenance wasn’t available till the next morning. The other thing we weren’t crazy about for a condo that when you walk in you’re in the bedroom so when you open the door people can look right in. Despite all that we would probably stay again.Thanks Silver Sands

Personal Paradise

This is the very best place to stay on any beachin FL. The beach view as soon as you walk into the room is stunning. The room was clean, conveniently located and stocked with the right amount of towels, amenities for the first night. We ran to the Publix a few miles down the road and got coffee, cream and a few snacks. The kitchen has plates and cookware. Beach chairs, umbrellas and floats were available for use. It's like having your own private beach. My husband and I enjoyed this stay very much and will be back a lot!

Our Florida trip

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: From the start it was about 30 min from the Sarasota airport. The ladies in the office were super friendly. Our room was very clean and nice had every thing we needed. A beautiful view of the ocean. Steps away from the ocean. The beach was beautiful. Felt like our own private beach there were only a few people on it every day. The town was very quaint not busy at all.

Peaceful and beautiful view

The condo was very clean and the perfect size for us. We loved our view, especially. Some things we noticed that might improve a guest's stay: 1) A ceiling fan and better lighting in the bedroom would have been nice 2) The mattress was VERY hard, so we didn't really get good sleep 3) When the towels/sheets were changed, we didn't get more toilet paper 4) When someone cleaned up the empty beer and water bottles on the kitchen counter, they also threw out a paper towel that held several shark teeth on it -- these were not small teeth -- it was obvious what they were and that we were saving them, along with a couple dozen shells and sand dollars 5) Brighter lighting in the bathroom would be great The beach access and numerous lounge chairs to choose from was WONDERFUL! We hope to come back to Silver Sands and enjoy the property and beautiful beach again in years to come!!! Thank you for a great vacation!
