Highly Recommend

Typically we stay in a high-rise condo but this year we went on spring break with a group that was staying at Silver Dunes so we gave it a try. It was fantastic! The property is clean and quiet. Never a long wait for the elevator, plenty of luggage carts. Unit 43 was spacious, updated and well-stocked. Having the bedrooms on the 2nd level was fantastic! All photos are accurate. Owner was very responsive. Beach chair company is friendly, pool is heated. All of the kids loved playing in the greenspace between the pool and the ocean in the evenings. Chick-fil-A, Pizza Hut and Shakes across the street, Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins and Blalocks (fresh seafood *very good*) less than 1/4 of a mile walk. Highly recommend!
