What Guests Are Saying

“Family of 5 had a wonderful, warm, sun-filled week at Silver Beach Towers. We were on the 14th floor in a 3 bedroom/3 bathroom condo. It was gorgeous! All the modern furniture was comfortable, and the kitchen very well stocked with all the cabinets and drawers labeled so no searching for the big bowls or skillets, etc. It was not very crowded so we were able to grab a table with umbrella and chairs at the pool every day. (though more tables with umbrellas would have been nice, there is room) The Tiki Bar was cute and nice for a drink but pricey! You need your key fob to open all doors plus the gate to the beach. Good security, but a bit tiring to keep track of the fobs. You also needed to wear a bracelet at the pool, but no one was checking on that. Surprisingly, no fitness room, but a $10 deal at a local gym down the road. We got beach chairs and umbrellas two days. $65 for 2 chairs and one umbrella per day. They put them up very early in the morning and take them down at 5:00 unless no one is using them so they do take them down sooner but they patiently wait until 5 for those that are still in use. They put out extra chairs in case people want them at the last minute. Not sure what the reviewer before me was complaining about. It was great and the guys putting them out were very nice. They are close to the water so you have a very good view. On the last morning we were there a very loud alarm went off and we finally found it in the laundry room floor as the washing machine was leaking. It was a water alarm. The front desk called us within a few minutes as they were automatically alerted to the alarm. Maintenance guys were up in a few minutes to fix it. Have to say the young lady at the front desk when we first checked in was not super pleasant. We had never been there before and had a lot of questions about the resort and our condo (things that she really should have told us anyway) and she acted like we should have known all this. Everyone else we encountered that week was very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay here again and hopefully in the same condo. Shopping and restaurants are just down the street in both directions. Great location.” — beachlady3, 5 stars

“Absolutely perfect stay! This was our second visit to Silver Beach Towers and it is the perfect place for complete relaxation! The unit was spacious and equipped with everything we needed. The condo is directly on the beach and you don’t have to walk over dunes or a bridge. Elevators are efficient and there are plenty of carts and covered, assigned parking. It is close to restaurants and activities. The beach is perfect with white sand and convenient chair and umbrella rentals. Staff is friendly. Pools and hot tubs are amazing. The facility is clean. Of all the beach condos I’ve stayed at in various cities, this one is the best along with the best beach!” — Julie M., 5 stars

“We loved our stay at Silver Beach Towers. The 3-bedroom condo was the perfect size for our family of six—clean, spacious, and comfortable. The TipSea Turtle food and drink service on the beach was a great bonus, and the servers were fantastic. However, the beach service staff setting up chairs and umbrellas were not friendly. Although rentals were until 5 PM, they started packing up around 3:30 PM, making guests feel rushed to leave. Also, an alarm in a fire control room across the hall went off for hours on two nights, which was disruptive. We did call the after hours service. Great location and condo overall, but the beach service needs improvement.” — jabbg4, 5 stars
