Spent 20 yrs renting on AMI, no more......this is what AMI used to be. Laid back, family oriented. Brittany checked us in and was soo very friendly. Room was great, rented for myself, spouse, and 2 adult children and we had plenty of room. Only thing that was disconcerting was the adjoining room.......we heard EVERYTHING coming from under the door which connects to the bedrooms. We will book again, but stuff towels under that door to help with the noise. ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura L. 28 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little spot!

Very very happy we did! Great food, great bars/restaurants! Check out Guppy’s when you stay here!We stayed here in February of 2025 and the Red Tide situation was happening unfortunately. If you don’t know what that is, Google it. It could wreck a trip. But at Silver Sands, everything was fine! Beautiful pool and pool area with plenty of seating, tables, and umbrellas if needed. The beach area was very nice as well, and very close to the pool area and housing units. Plenty of chairs out by the beach as well! All in all the property itself was very well maintained and clean. Our unit was as advertised. Clean, well stocked with everything we needed. Comfy bed. And nice lanai overlooking the pool area. Few things to note:- Coffee pot is a Keurig so bring pods. - This unit is on the Second floor and there’s no elevator. - This unit had adjoining doors to the next door unit. Normally not a big deal but we could hear everything on the other side of the doors in the next door unit. And I’m sure they could hear us too. And by the way, the doors are in the master bedroom. - Televisions in the living area and bedroom. We never tried the tv in the bedroom but the one in the living area could use replacing. Picture and audio were fine. But there was that annoying green thin line from top to bottom across the screen telling you it’s about to die. This was a nice place for us. We would come back.
