Beautiful oceanfront view

Easy access to both pool and beach with it only being ten steps away. We enjoyed this nice quiet area with polite neighbors during our stay. Plenty of room for the 5 of us and would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for an oceanfront place.

Unit 259 Silver Sands

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: In many cases I tend to ignore a request for a review of a product or service. I cannot do that in the case of Unit 259 Silver Sands. The owners have put great thought into both making you feel welcome and providing what would be the needs of most people/ A welcoming card when you arrive is a nice touch. The view of the Gulf is of course the highlight. But more than that the owners spent time thinking what they would like if they were renting the place. This is my fourth time as Silver Sands and the people at the front desk are always helpful. IN this latest trip it is Margaret who did a great job helping when I needed assistance

A little disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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 been coming to LBK - Silver Sands for 35 years. This year, room was not stocked appropriately. Two rolls of TP for 6 people - small qty of towels and 2 garbage bags. If they are no longer going to service rooms, then stock the rooms. Someone should (at the very least) come by rooms and ask if you need TP, towels, garbage bags. Even when I walked to office, they said towels were not available (clean) - She did manage to find me two rolls of TP in the back of her office. Just really disappointed - When you pay $4500 for a week, you expect a little more. Chairs on the beach were nasty - broken, stained. Sad to see the place I love deteriorating. Will look elsewhere next year.

Great location, Very Relaxing Vacation!

We stayed at the condo in early May and had perfect weather. That location is fantastic. Condo offers a full view of the ocean and is only steps from the beautiful, uncrowded beach. Close to shopping and many wonderful restaurants. We love St Armand’s Circle. Condo itself was nice. Beautiful balcony. Although we did not cook, kitchen appear to be well stocked. Only odd thing was the entrance into the condo was through the second bedroom. This did not bother us and it was noted in the description of the rental unit. Beach chairs were available for guests to use. Beach umbrellas were also actually available in the condo unit itself, but they were in the back closet which we never opened until the last day of our stay. Instead we went and purchased an umbrella. Perhaps the owner should consider making that information known to the guests to save them, the expense of going out and purchasing their own umbrellas, only to find them later. They now have an extra umbrella as we left the one we purchased in the condo in the closet. Our only issue with the condo was that the property allows visitors to smoke on their patios. The people below us were smokers. Every night we would have to go inside and close our door until they finished smoking as the smoke all came up into our patio. Lucky for us, they did not smoke long, but if you are sensitive to smoke or just simply dislike it, this should be considered. My hope would be in the future that the condo association votes to make the entire property non-smoking or designate an area away from the actual units or people can go and have a cigarette. Other than the issue with the cigarettes, it was a lovely vacation - very relaxing in a fantastic area of Florida.

Silver Sands Girls' Week

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Unit 259. It is furnished thoughtfully, and everything we needed was provided. The views from the screen porch were amazing! The water is perfect, so clear and such a beautiful color of turquoise. We did not turn on the televisions all week. We will be back again next year! The only recommendation we could possibly make is the king size bed has a very firm/hard mattress. We would suggest adding a pillowtop topper, and that would make it just perfect!

Beach but no beach with red tide

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: The location and unit was great. The view is fabulous. The large screened porch facing the gulf is a joy - rather was a joy until the red tide moved in and we couldn't even enjoy the good pool. Pollution plus temperature increases -

Well-kept and Great Location!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The property was well-kept. The kids loved the pool and of course the beach. It was nice having chairs and umbrellas to grab as we walked out to the beach.

Spectacular view

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: A spectacular view. Great staff. Clean. Poor set up of having to enter the condo through a bedroom. The shower was being worked on so there was only one shower which was through/ in the master bedroom. The renovation of the second bathroom shower should not have even been started until they had all the parts ( door to shower ) available! Very nice to see a bouquet of flowers on the kitchen table upon our arrival. The linai could have had more chairs that were comfortable as there was only one. This unit was described as able to accommodate 6 guests, not enough comfortable chairs. The recent price increase is not worth it.

Very kind management

We stayed here for 7 nights and never regretted. Quite friendly place where you can give your mind a peace. The pictures are 100% accurate. The staff are very understanding and responsive. Best service I’ve gotten for years. We’ve got some problems with some of the appliances but they were solved with a rocket speed. It’s a technology, happens from time to time. Also I would suggest to refresh some of the furniture (old but well taken care of and clean). When you planning to visit this room with the toddler keep in mind that there is only ceramic tile flooring all around the unit. Great view from the living room. Enter of this unit opens to one of the rooms (not a master one) with 2 twin beds, this could be an issue for some picky renters, but myself I didn’t find it a problem. Pool is always clean. The fresh towels you get every day. Overall GREAT. Highly recommend this place for others to stay in.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was 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: Its the perfect location and has everything you need. Beach and pool steps away, has a magnificent beach view. Beds are comfortable and kitchen has everything you need.The only issue we had was with housekeeping not showing up or doing almost nothing. Front desk was aware of the situation, we had to request towels and toiletry. One thing I will say is, bathrooms were clean but had moldy grout, not terrible but some. Overall great experience. Easy to reserved but do it with some lead time.
