We love traveling and staying with Silver Dunes. It is a laid back and relaxing atmosphere, unlike the high rise styles. Huge grass covered courtyard, pool, beach, and interior are well kept. I love just walking and looking at the landscape. We have tried other placed a few times and always come back here as our number one choice. A huge addition this year was the Big Red Truck they hired for the beach entry. Food was AMAZING! It actually blew away the other tourist restaurants on the strip by far!

This unit butrs up against the wider part of the Penthouse building so the patio feels like it’s tucked away in a private corner. There is enough room on the patio with the ground in front of it for lots of people to gather without being in anyone’s way. That is my favorite part of unit 008.The furnishings are beautiful and very comfortable. The kitchen is everything you’d expect so if you are a bit of a chef, you will want to bring your own knife. The master bedroom is huge so plenty of room for a pack-n-play if needed. This was our second time in unit 008 and I will choose it again.

Our five week stay at Silver Dunes was wonderful! This is our fifth year staying here and every time it has been great! The staff from Amber, Mary Lou, Andy and others are always very pleasant. Our property is always clean, neat and well furnished. Golfing at Blackstone, Eagle Springs, Links, and Regatta Bay was fantastic. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.
