Getaway Week

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: Spent a great week at Silver Dunes. We love this location. Plenty of shoreline, not a high-rise. Also, a lot of green space for just enjoying the outdoors. Our unit was well decorated and had a good selection of cooking pots, pans and utensils. We found the unit just as it was advertised. Members of our family have stayed many times over the years. You won’t be disappointed!

Relaxing

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 love sitting on the balcony enjoying the beautiful beach. The decor was nice and comfortable. I loved having an entire kitchen cabinet to renters.The outdoor furniture cushions were stained and the frame had sagged. It appeared that a new set of balcony furniture would further enhance the condo.

Love’m and leave’m

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the condo! It’s my new favorite. The only thing I would change is to add a table & 4 chairs on the porch. Unfortunately it’s my first and last rental as the rates have actually doubled for same week next year. After more than 10 years at Silver Dunes I’m looking for a more reasonable place next year.

Amazing view but condo needs a deep cleaning

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than 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: I know this unit is for sale. My hope is the new owner will remove all furniture and carpet to give it a serious deep cleaning. The area rugs are dirty and the whole condo has a musty smell. Both bathrooms need to be updated. I would recommend the cleaning service be notified that we had to clean the bathrooms because there was still hair and the toilets had a ring and stool. We are very down to earth renters so I don't feel we are nitpicking. The mattresses also need to be replaced. Very low quality. Family room has chairs that need to be thrown out - dirty and uncomfortable. This unit has so much potential but I would not stay in it again until it receives some serious love.Maintenance needs to turn on lighting along parking lot. It was dark and felt very unsafe at night when walking past the storage lockers.

Can't wait to return!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: The condo itself was the perfect location for my family and I. We wanted a place walking distance to the beach with a great view and this unit gave just that. It was nicely decorated and clean. The balcony view was beautiful. Each room had a view of the beach! We enjoyed our stay and loved that the Condominium was low key, no crowds. Our beach had the least amount of chairs out so we all had a front seat to the water. Only downside, the TV would freeze and not work. My husband and son were not happy about this. And I wish coffee, and coffee filters were provided like most places.

Review of Condo B1304

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than 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: Need new toaster, rugs in 2nd bedroom do not fit & are a tripping hazard, smell of burning from washing machine, Need the Towel exchange as we litter bathroom with old towels. Don’t want to wash towels on vacation. Cost of condo is expensive enough! No pantry for groceries. Had to move bowls etc around to make room. Replace old scarred kitchen table!!! Kitchen cutting knives were dull. Pros great view. Love new fridge & dishwasher.

Silver Dunes B1304

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very 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: We had a great week at Silver Dunes, as we always do when we visit once a year. This was our first stay in unit B1304 and we will rent a different unit from now on, it was a major disappointment. Units should be held to a standard in order to be rented and this unit had so many issues. Broken dryer, broken coffee pot, broken bed frame, tv did not work, patio table and chairs falling apart, kitchen table leg fell off while we eating breakfast. Beds had no blankets. It felt like something went wrong every day over our 8 day stay. The view was beautiful and beach service with George was wonderful as always. However, this unit needs major improvements.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall everything was perfect. We have stayed in this unit before and love it. However, this time on our second day, an appliance in the kitchen began to beep. It was reported to the front desk twice during our week stay, but it was never fixed. We had to listen to the beeping 24/7 for most of our stay.

Home Away From Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Silver Dunes has been our vacation spot for many, many years. That's why it hurt my heart to not rebook for the first time ever when we checked out. We love all the rooms we have stayed in over the years, especially B1304. This year we were a bit disappointed in our room. We always cook in the room several times. This year we didn't have something so basic as a colander for boiling shrimp. We were just told sorry when we asked about it. It's supposed to be a fully stocked kitchen , and there has always been one there before. Another condo renter needed a large skillet. We let each other borrow. We did purchase one to leave in the unit. Outlets are loose and won't hold a plug, and some don't work. It's been that way for a few years, and I've put it on my review before. The biggest reason was that the room is tired and needs a good deep cleaning. My husband had problems with his breathing the whole week. As I checked the room to make sure that we had everything, I checked under the bed to be sure nothing got kicked under there. So, so dirty and dusty! Probably the reason for his breathing issues!Save money and don't put those little hotel shampoo's, etc in the rooms. You could have them available if someone forgot theirs, and until they go to the store, but everyone brings those with them when vacationing because it's not enough for a whole week. Soap, enough toilet paper, the dish washer detergent, a few trash bags, and the other extras were fantastic!Last year, we mentioned the palm tree that was blocking the view. We were thrilled to see it gone! Thank you for that!I can't imagine not being back in one of the end rooms next summer! We love it, but are undecided. We do love Silver Dunes!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the property in general and have been coming here for at least 25 years. This unit is great and nicely appointed, directly facing the Gulf. The added benefit to Silver Dunes is the superior service provided by the beach time, i.e. George and his associates.

Wonderful Condo- horrible beach service

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: As always, the condo was excellent. The new beach service is not personable, not professional, and inept. The did not adjust umbrellas throughout the day, they did not put chairs together when they said they would do so, and they did not get the payment correct. I received an email today stating they couldn’t find where I paid...totally incompetent. Very sad because I really enjoyed the beach service before and consider it a “piece of vacation” that I don’t have to worry about. Would have given 5 stars on all if not for the beach service.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have loved Silver Dunes for years, lots of years. Our unit was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The view couldn't be matched. The one thing that is going to need improvement is the beach service. I fully recognize that George spoiled all of us but this group needs to step it up a bit. Aside from setting us up, the only time we saw them was to pay. They never adjusted umbrellas or made an effort to interact at all. Again, we were spoiled. They will need to up their game if they want the tips.

360° Gulf Views with Sugar Sands at Our Feet

This end unit condo was amazing! We selected this condo because of the stunning views and the updated furniture advertised, especially the lanai (balcony) which sealed the deal for me! After our late arrival I went straight to the lanai, wrapped myself in a blanket, inhaled the crisp Gulf air then fell asleep listening to the ocean waves. My husband 'made' me come inside, but I could have stayed there all night...amazing! The next morning I prayed, meditated and did Yoga. That became my oasis. The family enjoyed the convenience of simply going down the stairs grabbing spare beach items and hanging out on the beach. We watched them from our lanai. If we were any closer we'd be in the ocean! However, we had a few issues during our stay, but they we quickly resolved. The A/C ran out of freon, but onsite Management resolved it while we were out enjoying the area. One of the guest beds had sand...eew, but we washed the linen in the unit's washer and dryer since it was too late to notify Management. I'd recommend having laundry detergent, dish washing liquid (to hand wash dishes...I used shampoo) and cleaning solution to clean counters and oven. We went to Walmart to buy these items. Also, the ceiling fan on the lanai blades have corroded so the fan doesn't work. Also, we arrived around 9pm and there was no one at the security gate and we weren't given a gate code prior to check-in so we had to follow another guest inside the gate. Other than these little bumps, we thoroughly enjoyed staying at this condo. We recommend it and would definitely stay again.
Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022
