Central to some other places we wanted to visit. If you like being right on the private beach and are okay with driving to some other fun in the area then I highly recommend this place. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here last year, but decided this year was even better. The location of our rooms were perfect to walk on the beach early in the morning, to enjoy the pool during the day, and to marvel at the sunset in the evening. The kitchen was packed with supplies to make sure our “home cooking” was easy, and the modern decor was lovely. We also appreciated the two sleeping areas and the two televisions.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Although the office and maintenance staff were excellent, we have issues with the unit. The photos on the website prior to booking were everything we had hoped for. After booking the bedroom and bathroom photos changed. This happened to us last year with unit 245. We are in our 70's and booked a walk-in shower as pictured. We were disappointed both times to find step-in tubs with no grab bar - very dangerous for us. Sure seems like a bait and switch tactic RVA is using.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are return visitors to this wonderful ,quiet ,clean gulf side resort. Margaret the property manager was extremely helpful and apologetic about our unit. This is our first chance to rent unit 243. It will be our last. There is no kitchen table. There is a small writing desk with 3 small ottomans for chairs instead. The bed has oversized legs that stick out and caused numerous bruises on our knees. The TV in the bedroom is covered with a large mirror on a chest of drawers. This prohibits the installation of child safety anti tipping devices. Do not rent this unit if you have children, have knees or want to enjoy a meal in the kitchen.

We stayed at Silver Sands for 3 days and it was right in the beach. Loved it!!!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we checked out, asked to be contacted by RVA about my stay, but nobody bothered, so I will give you all the gory details (unfiltered).My wife and I have rented at Silver Sands several times and actually rented this same unit a number of years ago. The view is great and we were very happy with the accommodations...then. Not this time though. The unit was very dirty, had cat or dog hair (no pets allowed) floating around when the doors were open. Under beds and dressers was clumps of it. We swept it up multiple times and informed on-site management. One morning we found roaches on the counter along with other smaller bugs on the floor. The exterminator came and sprayed along the baseboards, but we still saw some bugs (at least not roaches) for a couple more days. The exterminator stated that if we had roaches, other units were likely to have them also...that is gross. We were very pleased with Margaret's (onsite) trying to help...she was a bright spot who at least cared about our concerned. Needless to say, at nearly $500 a night, we will never be back or ever rent from RVA again.

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.
