    The beach access was beautiful but the condo wqs rough. Dirty rug and couch. Still buried in sand from the last hurricane. Expected it to be nicer for the cost.

    We loved the direct access to the beach. The unit was nice and clean. New appliances in the kitchen. The couch could use an upgrade. The cushions are very small and its difficult for adults to sit on it comfortably. We loved the massage recliner.

    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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve been coming to the area for 4 years now and wanted to try somewhere new and boy we were not disappointed! We got the room on the beach with our own private access and it was amazing. Room was beautiful, pictures don’t do it justice. Staff was great and the parking was perfect. We will be booking with RVA every year.

    The beach, pool, and common areas were fabulous. The condo is in much need of TLC. My elderly parents and kids couldnt open the sliding glass door because it is rusted and wont stay in the track. Main bathroom has a rusty tub and molded tile. The dishwasher leaked and the condo is not well equiped to use the kitchen. For the price we expected a more updated condo. As native Floridians we understand recovering from hurricanes, but some of the issues are easily fixable. The unit also needs a vacuum for guests to clean. The unit was dirty upon arrival. We had to clean bacon off the counters and floor.

    Very clean, wonderful refurbished from last years hurricane, comfortable beds and plenty of linens.As a local but 20 miles East of the beach this is my best option for a calm peaceful beach few days.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was right on the beach with great access. The apartment was nice and had some room. My main complaints would be the cleanliness and conditions. For example, the utensil tray was very dirty and we felt we had to wash everything before we used it. Secondly, there were quite a few ants. We had a good time and enjoyed the location but doubt we will ask for this particular unit again. The RVA agents are very nice and accommodating so we will definitely use RVA again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been vacationing at Silver Sands for many years. It works well for a multigenerational vacation - each family has their own space. We like the pool area and the proximity of the beach with lounge chairs available although this year one morning they were not unlocked til 10:30. The units are clean but some are a little dated. Everyone looks forward to our family vacation at Silver sands - this year we had 15!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at this resort in this unit for decades. I feel like the quality of the unit is not worth the ever increasing cost. Although we appreciate the beautiful view, there are items in the unit that have needed repair/replacement for years. The sofa is extremely uncomfortable and the sliding door is now almost impossible to open. In addition this year the refrigerator was missing a shelf making the food storage limited especially when you’re accommodating a family for a week. Lastly, for the price I feel that if you’re not going to include daily cleaning you should at least have a team that removes trash and replaces linens in your room. In the current condition I would not recommend the unit. In fact we did not reserve for our vacation next year even though we have been there for over 25 years :(

    Pros: - Location of our unit was right on the beach. - Umbrellas and chairs provided. - Beach was not busy in mid June. - Pool was nice. - AC was incredible. Cons: - I realize what goes with being so close to the water but it could have used a bleaching in the bathroom to get rid of the moldy corners. - Wifi wasn't that good. Overall I'd stay there again
