We loved these little cottages. Great location in town. Perfect sized cottages. Beds were comfortable, place was clean. Only complaints would be the bright parking lot light above the bedroom windows, and the dryer didn't work well, but all in all, we'd come back!

Had 4 bunk beds in the second room, not good for a couple. Beds were way too soft.Cute and clean.

Very nice accomodations. Clean, bright, beds comfortable. None of the sheets fit the beds, bathroom barn door falls off very easily, the swimming pool always looked milky, needed shock. PARKING was a joke. If you have more than 1 car and 1 golf cart, your guests cars will be towed off. Serious issues with parking. Also, no blow dryer furnished.

We stayed in Unit 4 at Old Town Cottages. As soon as we opened the door it smelled strongly of smoke when this is advertised as a "smoke free" rental on multiple websites. When I brought this to the attention of the Silver Sands staff, they apologized but said they "cannot control what their guests do." I asked why housekeeping wouldn't have proactively reported the smell because it was very obvious, and Silver Sands responded with "well maybe the housekeepers are smokers too." Very unprofessional response. We ended up leaving the property a day early and requested a refund due to the smoke issue. I called twice but have not received a response to my request. Also know that Unit 4 is the only unit without an outdoor shower. Again, false advertising. We did really need one because we brought along our dog. Lastly, I unfortunately left a bathing suit in the master bedroom closet...I realized this just a couple of hours after leaving. Because we checked out a day early, I thought there would be no issue having someone get the suit, but they were not willing to send someone there to check despite talking several times to "Tonya." So so disappointed. My fault for leaving it there...I should have realized at that point that no one from Silver Sands is going to go above and beyond to help a customer. I recommend finding another place in Port Aransas to stay...one that is not managed by Silver Sands.

Beautiful condo with nice doorside pool... but NO TV!! We asked others staying there and no one else could get TV either. I finally used my phone and hooked up to Netflix, but the category was stuck on the "romantic and sexy" stories category. Imagine if the grandkid was with me!! Management never called back. Several cooking pans and dishes were dirty

We stayed in cottage #4 Friday-Monday. We usually stay at Aransas Princess but thought we would try something new this year. The kitchen was not stocked with anything, we had to throw TONS of food away due to the swarms of fireants we could not get rid of. I have an infant that could not crawl around due to ants on the ground also. The bathrooms only had 2 wash clothes, but yet they state the cottage can sleep 8 people... so we did not bring towels or washcloths since we thought they would be provided. Our cousins stayed in Cottage 8 and had the same issues we did as well as microwave not working. Only plus for them is that theirs came with a golf cart included in their rental, even though we paid the same amount for the cottages.... They request for you to start the dishwasher when you leave, but do not leave you dishwasher detergent to use... This place has great potential to be top notch. The pool is great, large ice machine on site (but never has ice in it) and the parking was easy but needs lots of help. We will be going back to Aransas Princess next year.

We stayed in cottage 4. This was the only downstairs cottage without an outdoor shower to rinse off sand. It’s also adjacent to the Salty Dog bar which gets rowdy at night. You see headlights and hear cars. The kids room needed to have the rug replaced but overall we’d stay again. It was clean, spacious and centrally located. Bring your own big pot/pan if you intend to cook for a crowd.

Overall we had a great visit here. Silver Sands does have great pre-trip communication and made it very easy to sign documents and upload info via their website, emails and text messages. We spent 3 nights in unit 18. It has the feeling of a beach cottage. Very clean. Plenty of amenities for a 3 day stay. Kitchen well appointed. Beds very comfortable. A few small things during stay that need attention which we did text management about but did not receive a reply. The WiFi is very slow. TV is dependent on WiFi as they do not have cable or satellite. You can try to stream spectrum, but doesn’t work well. We did see roaches in the unit everyday.This complex is directly on Alister street, so you can walk to just about everything in town or use the included cart which was great. Do expect some street noise, especially on the upstairs units that are above shops and face the street.Finally- a note about the layout of the complex, which I couldn’t find a lot of info about.Units 1-4 back up to Salty Dog Saloon. Didn’t hear any music during our visit (Sunday-Wednesday)Units 5-8 next to parking lotUnits 9-13 back of property. Farthest from Main Street.Units 14-18 upstairs above retail shops on Alister street.
