The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Find!

We unexpectedly had a few days to add to our vacation and decided to enjoy the beach-but found almost everything booked solid; lucky us to get the last available unit at this amazing little beach resort! The unit was beachfront with a large pool, and it was SPOTLESS! Walking around barefoot, our feet were all clean-that's a telltale sign of clean floors! Can't wait to return!

Beach Vacation

Silver Sands was great! The saltwater pool was heated, perfect for a relaxing dip after a day at the beach. We had access to beach umbrellas and loungers for ultimate comfort. The beach was secluded, allowing for a peaceful time with kids exploring and fishing right off the shore.

Simple, Quaint, and Clean!

Our family discovered this gem while looking for a vacation spot. The amenities for kids were plentiful, and they had a great time at the beach and pool. The warm pool was a kids' favorite, and the seating by the beach made it safe and easy to relax while they played.

Quaint But Perfect!

Every aspect of this resort is wonderful, including the nearby dining options. Restaurants like Dry Dock and Tide Tables provided delicious meals that enhanced our overall experience. We loved that there were plenty of choices without having to travel far from the resort.

My experience at Silver Sands was a mix of highs and lows. The location next to the beach is absolutely fantastic, and the accommodations we had were spotless and cozy. However, the issues with the check-in process left a sour note on what could have been a perfect stay. The overall value for what we paid felt a bit off, considering the service hiccups we encountered.
