    Disappointed

    Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat 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: I was disappointed with the condo. I normally stay at another property but due to availability I had to try another this summer. I will not be back to this property. The cleanliness was not good. Behind the couch was food and dust. Same behind the beds. There was dust all over the walls in the kitchen. Rust on the refrigerator. The ice maker didn’t work. The couch and chair were so dirty I went a bought a cover up at Walmart before I would sit on them. The cleaning people didn’t speak English so when I went to exchange towels they came across as rude. The chairs were broken at the beach. No umbrellas. The lighting around the property was not good so going out at night was scary. Overall, I will not stay at this property again. They spent more time cleaning the outside than the inside of the property. Also, they had to close the pool one day because no one was checking it until it was too late. I own a pool at my home so I know this could have been avoided.

Reviewer Comments: The pool was closed for half of our stay for spring break and we were not notified of this until we showed up. The management would never call us back or address the problem personally. At the end of our stay we did have a credit on our bill but it wasn't near enough for half of our stay and the lack of care and concern was underwhelming.

    Our stay at Silver Sands

    Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat 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: We have stayed at Silver Sands multiple times for nearly 10 years. As a family of six (4 kids) it has always been accommodating, however not this visit. Although on the website it said our room would sleep six people, it did not have a pullout double couch but a futon that only slept one. When this was brought up to the manager, Clint, he was impolite, unprofessional and passive aggressive, saying that despite the false advertisement that the room slept 6 but did not nothing could be done to refund us a portion of what we paid. Clint insisted that it did sleep six and that all similar units had been changed to futons in Sept with no complaints. However we stayed in a unit in the previous June that indeed did have a pullout double couch and that unit did sleep 6. Not enough chairs on the beach for hotel guests. Many were broken. No monitoring of hotel guests cars in the parking lot. Many people were parking at the hotel and using the pool and beach, making parking difficult for actual guests.
