Thank you for taking the time to share your vacation experience in this incredible family home. Its just perfect for a large family.

Dear Albert,
We appreciate you taking the time to share what a fabulous property this is and especially the outstanding service Sanddollar One provided. The owners of this home make it easy for us manage since they are constantly updating and restocking their property. The location is also ideal for a family since the beach is just down the street and the beach access has tables, chairs, bathrooms. etc . Not all accesses along 30 A are equipped with these facilities. The private pool is a huge plus especially after a long day on the sugar white sand
We hope you are planning another visit to the area. If so, please give us a call direct so that you receive a small repeat guest discount. You will also not have to pay the VRBO fee that they charge.
Again, We thank you for contacting Sanddollar One the best team on 30 A.

We’re thrilled to have welcomed you back so soon — June and August! It’s wonderful to hear that everything felt smooth and easy from arrival to departure. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to seeing you again for another stay you’ll love!
Wonderful property, issue with upstairs air-conditioning got fixed right away. Really liked this location in Santa Rosa and property has pretty good proximity to the beach - about 10 minutes to walk it. The bikes were in good shape and a wonderful addition to the trip! There are lots of shops and restaurants close by as others have said. Overall, we had a great week and really enjoyed the property - will consider staying again.

The house was a great size and plenty of room and very clean. Pool is very small and not much room for more than 3-4 kids. The beach entry for the property was a public beach which can be very crowded at times.

This house was perfect for our crew of 4 adults, 3 kids, and one dog. Beach and great little commercial district are an easy 10 minute walk away, which is entirely feasible even with lots of beach gear because of the wagon in the garage. We loved this house and would highly recommend it.

Hi Elizabeth,
We are so appreciative of the time you took to share how amazing this home is. Often times .when a guest has a fabulous experience they never share. Only when they have a complaint. Our staff prides itself on making sure the guest experience is one that they will always cherish for years to come. We are especially pleased with the high service rating. This lets us know we are on the right path of achieving our ultimate goal.
We hope you will be planning another visit to the area soon? If so, please give us a call direct so that you receive a small discount. You will also avoid the VRBO service fee that they charge.
Again, we thank you for choosing Sanddollar One the best Team on 30 A.
This home was AMAZING, very, very clean and nicely decorated! It exceeded our expectations on every end. Much larger than what it looks like in the pictures. Home was fully furnished with everything that you would need for a perfect vacation. Pool was also a bit bigger than expected and was enough for my family of two adults and two teens. In a perfect location - just a short walk from the beach (literally), many restaurants and Publix. Be sure to stop by and try South of Philly 30A - so GOOD! Can be to local shopping in Destin and Panama City in less than 30 minutes. If you are looking for a clean, spacious and well kept property for your next vacation, you must give Just For The Halibut a try. You will not be disappointed! Would without a doubt book them again!
