Great vacation

We had a great time. The private pool was very nice & enjoyed. There was lots of room for everyone to be together or speed time just relaxing in their rooms. We look forward to booking this again.

Weekend family get together

Overall this is a great house in a great convenient location. Minor issues such as oven knob broken so unable to use, loose toilet upstairs, and a large hole in the ceiling. I reached to the property management and they apologized for all and had someone come and check the oven but they had to order a part and was not able to fix. Very pleased with response and none of these affected our trip. The kitchen was well stocked and the place was large enough for everyone to have their own space. Neighborhood was very nice around the house and the location was fantastic whether going to the beach or going out to eat. Overall I would come back again.

La Dolce Vida

This was the third time we used Silver Sands to rent a house. The first two were awesome! Both very clean and check in/ check out easy and convenient. This third visit we had reserved a house called Tiki Time but in June received a call saying the owner was pulling from Silver Sands. You set use up at La Dolce Vida. The house is beautiful. Location great. Check in and out awesome. However, a few things that need to be addressed. First the washer and dryer need to be replaced. There were towels that were still damp when we arrived. I rewashed them and it took 3 hours for them to fully dry. Also washer had sand in the bottom. Owner needs to replace both. Second ants!!!! In kitchen window there were two ant traps that were not working. I had to put a couple of drops of dish soap to stop them from teaming all over the window seal. Also on bathroom floor bugs too. The house seemed clean but one of the up stairs bed room doors had splatter from either coffee or coke that the cleaning crew missed. We will use Silver Sands again but this particular location needs washer/dryer replaced and a bug guys to come out

Pros: convenient location near the beach and Port A amenities and activities. Included golf cart a plus. Open kitchen and island a plus. Cons: home wasn't ready at normal check in time; walked in on the cleaners and after calling PM, was told they were sorry and it was just a busy time. Backyard pool under construction needs to be noted and compensation made; we were looking forward to using it and were disappointed at this unavailable amenity. Owners' garage not locked and we were chided for accidentally opening that door. Layout is a bit awkward, for example, the bath adjoined to the master bedroom lacks a shower.

Communication breakdown

I received no less than 10 emails/phone callas from the rental company prior to arriving asking to sign this form and that. Seemed repetitive and unnecessary. Once we arrived there were no keys to the included golf cart. When I called and emailed I got no answer or response. Then the next morning there was no hot water. Would go warm to ice cold back and forth. Called and emailed again with no way to reach anyone. Then the oven door fell off the hinges when we tried to cook. Again no communication was able to be established. Phone number went to no one. Will not use this rental company or any of there properties again.

Great House, Perfect Location, 10 star management company

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 stayed 6 night the week of thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. The house is layed out well with huge bedrooms. The front courtyard was so perfect to leave all our beach toys, coolers and wash them off. The back yard is completely fenced in which was great for are small kids to play while we grilled or got dinner ready. I’ve never seen so many cooking utensils in a rental, every pot and pan you can imagine. We were missing a cookie sheet and knifes could be sharpened. The beds were comfy, a few extra bath towels would be nice. A broom was the only thing we really needed. I cannot day enough great things about Silver Sands, they went above and beyond to make everything great, we got the 3 hrs early and asked if we could get into the house and they opened the door immediately for us. Then we called and asked if we could upgrade to a larger golf cart and dropped one off 10 mins later! When we left it was pouring down rain and we left the golf cart, they said they would pick it up for us. And once we got home they called and said I hadn’t forgot my wallet, they mailed it to me the next day!! Great Company

Nice Location

Enjoyed our stay. Location is perfect! House had everything we needed. No master shower in one of the downstairs rooms. When you have that many people staying it would be nice to have more towels. Next time we would take our own bath towels.

Very Nice Home - If you can swing a late check-in

This home was awesome. Rooms are huge, good beds. Backyard is nice. No problems with AC, Internet, TV, Appliances. The only issue would be that Silver Sands, the property manager does not let you check-in until 5:00pm now and then you must check-out by 10:00am. They say you can call and attempt to check-in earlier, but due to the season, good luck getting through on the phone. I called 10 times and was on hold for 10 min each time.

Roach Palace

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros- location, from the pictures it looked like an upgraded house, plenty of parking spots Cons- One of the full bathrooms was just a tub (not disclosed in the house review), all of the showers had clogged drains so 1min into the shower you were standing in your dirty water... ROACHES EVERYWHERE- I stopped counting how many times we had to kill/clean up roaches (we found them in kitchen drawers, under the fridge, in our room, on our sink, on the chairs in the kitchen, in other guest rooms, in the living room, in the closet- it was ridiculous. I called once in the house because there was something already stuck in the garbage disposal and there was a nasty collection of ants (looked like someone shook a bag of coffee grounds all over the counter and window seal), the office said they would send someone over to clean and fix the disposal- no one ever came or called. I would think the house would be impeccable after our check in ordeal! We called asking for early check in (our check in time was moved from 3pm to 5pm b/c of COVID), they told us we needed to wait for the extended cleaning procedures. We were already at the property by 1:30pm, no one was in the house cleaning, we asked for permission to enter the house early (we didn't mind paying), but still were not allowed because someone needed to "inspect the house before we entered". The office said they would call if we could get in early. NO ONE called while we waited. We continued waiting outside of the home until 4pm and NO ONE came to "inspect the house". We finally tried the code at 4pm and it was unlocked. We had seen the updated listing of what was supposedly cleaned due to COVID, this included light switches, extensive floor cleaning, etc. It was CLEAR that the light switches had NOT been cleaned and there was still a sticky residue in several spots throughout the kitchen/living room. The golf cart had not been rinsed down and I honestly feel like we left that place cleaner than how we received it.

If the homeowner wants to sell let us know.

Great weekend getaway!

This home is so pretty. Great location- being close to town and the beach . Golf cart was a game changer. The kitchen came well equipped to cook for the family. (That's not usually the case- usually have to use the same dishes over and over in some rentals) I'm glad our kids are older and respectful of others people's things. There were beautiful vases and art pieces that small children would not do well with. This home has wonderful indoor and outdoor living spaces. Nice new grill if you like to cook on charcoal. our family had a great time.
