Sandy Starfish | Community Pool + Hot Tub!

The place was wonderful. Very spacious, everything we needed in the kitchen. The pool was a short walk, and the beach was very close as well. Overall a wonderful getaway for out family.

We really enjoyed the location and layout of the condo. The variety of room set ups was great. The 4 bunk room was on the same level as a queen so if you want to be close to the kids at night, that would be the room to be in. Also there is no railing for the top bunks as the matresses are tall. The beds are firm and there are lots of pillows.The pool area was fun. The shallow end is 4 ft deep but it drops quickly so kids need to be tall or good swimmers or have floaties. The hot tub is hot but there is no signage or obvious location to turn on the jets. Property management said they'd find out the location but never got back to us, so we still have no idea if the jets work. The kitchen is nice with a small bar height peninsula. The appliances were nice and worked well. There are plenty of dishes but there was not a pizza pan or cookie sheet to be found. The living areas are comfotable and roomy but sound does carry through the stairwells.Overall we really loved the place and everyone agreed they'd stay again next year. The only issues were really with the property managers. Even though they'd sent the codes for entry ahead of tine, we could not get in at 415 pm as the entry code was not set. The call center takes a long time to navigate they did reset it eventually, but after driving and kids needing to pee, was a bummer. That with not returning info on the hot tub left a sour taste on their management process.

Our stay here was perfect in every way. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. It was clean, cozy and updated. Location was great and the pool and hot tub were also clean and well kept. Plenty of linens, dish ware and little extras that made our stay comfy and worry free. Definitely hoping to return soon. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. Very clean and nicely furnished. We will definitely book with Silver Sands again!

The space and location was ideal, and worked perfectly for our vacation and family size. However there were certain areas of the house that needed some addressing and touchups. For example, the walls needed some paint in different high traffic areas, tile/grout work on the first floor bathroom was missing and could have easily created an injury if one wasn't paying attention, there was a lot of lids but very few containers or they didn't match, the living room tv made a horrible screeching noise when it was first turned on, remotes didn't work on tv's they should have been labeled, and there should have been some directions. Kitchen trash can only had one extra liner when we were there for 5 days, 4 nights. Thankfully I brought my own trash bags. There was an Alexa remote, but a Google Chromecast connector on the back of the downstairs queen bed room which didn't work, so when the weather was bad there weren't very many options where the tv worked for the kids to watch. Thank god we had our own devices and could connect to the WiFi. There weren't any games in the closet other than Connect Four, and many of those pieces were missing. The shuffle board table and foosball table were great, just had to be careful with one piece as was broken on top of one of the discs. The golf cart was a great convenience but there was no gas can provided to help top it off. Additionally it would have been nice if we were given an option on the golf cart rental size. We saw other golf carts that comfortably seated 6 passengers and we wish we would have been given that option. Overall it was a fun vacation and we would be interested in going back and booking another stay thru Silver Sands, but we may look at another house for our next trip. Thank you, Puja

I forgot to mention that the condo sleeps 12. Well, the bunk beds are so unstable and dangerous that our kids could not sleep on the top bunks. This needs to be addressed before someone hurts themselves.

Everything up to check in was great. Then we arrived at our condo at 4:30, when we got there cleaning crew was still there. Took another 30 minutes to finish cleaning. They finally left, and we entered the property. This condo was filthy! Sand all over the floor, a pile of dirt in the kitchen pushed into the corner. Fans had an 1/4 inch of dust on the leading edge. Garage smelt like something died. Dishes had food still stick to them and we rewarded anything that we used before using. Bathroom on first floor shower door was broken and never shut. The bottom of the shower enclosure was rotted and nasty. Garage fridge never cooled but the freezer worked. Living room was not as advertised and the only sits 6 adults we had 11. Could not get comfortable. The beds were hard as a rock and did not sleep for 5 nights. Linnens had sand in them and always felt dirty. We have paid a lot less and have stayed in nicer units. This one is terrible. TV in living room never worked. The bottom floor always had a dead musky smell to it. Was really disappointed for the amount of money that we spent. Embarrassing with our first time to Port A family. The golf cart broke twice and they brought us two additional units . One occasion the golf cart broke down in middle of an intersection. A silver sands employee saw the whole thing and had them bring us a new cart. These were not safe in my opinion. Needless to say I owe my family another vacation because this one was horrible. Sad to say but it was really bad. Hopefully it's just that unit and not a indication of what to expect from Silver Sands. We have rented other properties and never had an experience like this. We have pictures to back everything up for except the smells of course. Feel free to contact me if you have any Fortner questions.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and felt like home away from home. The only down side was we are a family of 7 and our go cart was only for 4.

Everything was wonderful at the Sandhill townhome. Only problem was that the WiFi didn't work. I called multiple times for someone to come out and fix it. Yes, someone did come out and they said they needed to come back so manager can sign in their spectrum account. However, no one ever came back. Other than that it was a great view. Townhome was spotless and it was more than enough room for all of us and I loved the bedrooms were all spaced out and away from other bedrooms. Beautiful!
