Very clean, plenty of towels/toilet paper/etc. Internet was fast. Direct beach access and umbrella/chair provided at no additional charge. It is an older building but overall I have complaints.

We had a great time at the condo. The view was amazing. The pool closes at 10 and I enjoyed sitting on the balcony late at night listening to the waves. The beach was easily accessible, and there was a great restaurant within walking distance. They had TVs in the room and some games to play with the family for when we had a rainy afternoon.

Our experience with this RealJoy property was wonderful! While the property itself was a little outdated compared to some of the other listings we looked at, we did not feel that anything was lacking. The included amenities were helpful and the location was perfect. We will definitely keep RealJoy in mind on our next visit to Destin!

What an absolutely awesome place! A few short steps out of the beautiful condo is the most amazing soft sand beach! I walked for miles each day. People were so friendly. The condo was so nice! I can’t wait to go back! This is where you want to stay!

The unit was great!!
I have stayed at the silver sands in the past, and as usual everything about the complex has always been wonderful. I will definitely return. Since the weather wasnt the most cooperative when we were there, it was always a plus that the pool is heated.

Whenever we stay here, we talk about buying a condo. The location is perfect. The condo and condominium are well kept. We loved the grilling area, pool, and hot tub. I've thought about returning quite a bit since we left. I highly recommend this property and plan to return soon.
