Patio opens up to the courtyard and pool area with a short 75 yard walk to the beach through a manicured courtyard.

Kitchen is fully stocked with all dishes, cookware, and appliances, including a Keurig and a traditional coffee maker. Tile throughout unit. Sleeps 4 people. Non-smoking.

Beach Service – If you didn’t pre-reserve beach chairs, just stop by the beach hut or call the Excel team at In addition to chairs and umbrellas, Excel offers kayaks and paddle boards for rent, as well as an assortment of snacks and drinks.
Tennis, Basketball, Pickleball, and Shuffleboard – Forget your gear? No worries, you can check out rackets, balls, and more at the front desk at no charge!
Grilling Out – In the busy months of spring and summer, many families opt to grill out rather than go out. We have eight charcoal grills available. There are several seafood markets nearby, including Blalock’s which is just a block to the west (p.s., their tuna dip is a must try!).
Fitness Center – Did you know we have a fitness center in the Penthouse building? Just stop by the front desk to borrow the key.
Family Activities – There’s always something fun on the itinerary at Silver Dunes:
• Annual Easter Egg Hunt in the Courtyard – Easter Sunday, 9 am in the courtyard
• Scavenger Hunts – Throughout the Spring – for children of all ages! Just stop by the office to pick up your scavenger hunt necessities. Once you’ve collected everything, stop back by the office to pick a surprise from the Silver Dunes treasure chest!
• Movies in the Courtyard – Bring a picnic blanket, your beach chairs, and join us on Mondays at dusk throughout June and July. We show a different family-friendly movie each week.
• S’mores Nights with Live Music at the Pool –Wednesday nights are awesome at Silver Dunes! Throughout June and July, the firepits will be out, s’mores roasting, and tunes playing!

UNIT 1

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Patio door needs to be worked on. VERY HARD to open and shut. It needs a lot of lubrication because it’s so heavy and hard to move. Otherwise, a very nice comfortable condominium with everything we needed.

Cute, Quaint and Comfortable buuut

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we were satisfied with our unit and our stay. We were very confused getting to Silver Dunes, and until maintenance came to do some touch-ups, we were confused on how to get in contact with anybody. There was a contact left on the right side nightstand, a tumbler and paper towels behind the left side nightstand, a shelf in the kitchen had been replaced before we arrived and fell once we made our stay. Also, someone kept placing their mop directly in front of our patio. We weren’t sure why, we moved it one time and it ended up back in front of our patio. Not sure what that was all about. Despite all of that, we really enjoyed the stay. The condo was stocked, it was clean (for the most part) it remained cool, wifi worked awesome. The security guard was really nice too!!

Perfect first time

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 originally booked somewhere else. They lied about there establishment. We made a wrong turn and found a very helpful severity specialist. We then spoke to front desk and had a beautiful room to stay in. The next week here was good enough to convince use to plan to relocate. I loved the family oreinated feel of your establishment. Look forward to visiting and have recommended to everyone to stay here. Thank you for good time.

Beach Fun

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: Overall a great location and access to the beach! Fun activities for kids and adults. Stayed in Unit 1, penthouse. First impressions, not so good! Could really use an update, very worn out looking. Couch and chair showing it’s age, ice maker in fridge not working, bath tub needs to be re-finished, ugly cheap dirty looking area rugs. Sliding glass door took all your might to open. Very outdated and drab. Couple of spots on ceiling is peeling and ready to come down. Really needs a great of spring cleaning! Couldn’t ask for a better location to pool and beach!
