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: Thoroughly enjoyable - but you need to trim the sea grapes so we can see the surf from Unit 249; also, fix the sliding glass doors

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.

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: 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

We have an active five year old and we loved this place. The beach out the front and the pool out the side. We loved having a kitchen to save on going out to eat all the time.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: WE had been coming here for years about 10 years ago. We decided to do a reunion. We now have to clean out rooms, take the trash out, and out dishwasher was broken. For the price we are charged, this small lack of services was huge. I felt bad for the front desk managers, they had to do so much more because they were the only people on the property.

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: My first comment is to say that your Guest Service Agent, Margaret is awesome. Always a smile & ready to help in any way. She takes great care of all your renters. She is a valued representative for your company. we expect to see her back next year!This is our 2nd yr at SS & as was last year, the overall experience was great. This was our 1st stay in #249. The unit gets high marks in the areas of HVAC, tvs, water pressure. It really had everything we needed. I'm thinking that after this year, the LR sofa might need to be replaced, but otherwise the furnishings were good - beds were very comfortable - the decor very pleasing. As you will see below, we gave 5 stars to all your questions. We are booked for next year and can't wait to return.
