The small beach town of Mexico Beach is known for its excellent fishing, laid-back lifestyle, beautiful white sandy beaches, and emerald green waters. Located just a few short blocks from the beach you can jump on the golf cart, take a stroll, or drive to the Gulf of Mexico where miles of sugary white sand and sparkling water awaits you. For the fishing enthusiast, the public boat ramp is just a few miles away, and don't forget there is parking for your boat.
Visit nearby Port St. Joe for shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, and entertainment. Downtown offers cute shops and restaurants along Reid Avenue. Don't forget to check out the historical Lighthouse and Sea Turtle Museum. We love our sea turtles!
So when you are ready to slow down and enjoy a break from life's demands, come visit us and stay in the "Sand Dollar". You'll make memories of a lifetime!

When you are ready to hit the beach you will find miles and miles of natural beauty for you to explore. Grab a pole and go shore fishing, stroll on the beach looking for shells, splash in the refreshing salt water, relax and soak up some rays, there is something for everyone.

Family Fun

Nice house and accurate listing. Pool access from the house is through MBR which isn't bad if you have young kids. Quiet neighborhood with short drive and longish walk (especially in the summer) to the beach.

Can’t wait to come back!

This property was amazing! Definitely exceeded all expectations! Communication was excellent all questions were answered promptly. House was very roomy and nicely decorated. The beds were very comfy and they provided a lot of extra linens and towels. House was very clean! The backyard and pool was where we spent most of our time! Exceptional! Pool was clean and cold. Pool service came on Tuesday and Friday. The pool was my favorite part of the house! It was a good walk to the beach so we opted to drive which works out perfectly because the beach accesses were close. 10/10! Will definitely be back!

Great Stay

We had a wonderful time at the Sand Dollar. House was clean, kitchen well equipped. We loved relaxing in the pool after a long day at the beach. Fantastic back yard that my pup loved. The house isn't walking distance to the beach, but we were well aware of that prior to booking, but the golf cart available is an amazing advantage. The only complaint, which really isn't a complaint against the property, were the beds were more firm than we like. If you prefer a softer sleep, I'd suggest a mattress topper.

Mexico Beach first visit

Property was satisfactory, misleading on the only patio door to the backyard was through the master bedroom, which was inconvenient for cooking etc. no adult yard games, some for kids. Pool was clean and cooling . Convenient location to beach and shops.

Overall very pleased

We really enjoyed the Sand Dollar. Was very clean house and yard and pool very nice and clean. A couple of issues we had were the very , very hard to open and close sliding glass doors in master bedroom. Also the AC couldn’t cool the master bedroom as it should and made for warm nights sleep. Overall house could be cooler. Also we understood we could park boat under shed but not the case.

Laid back Florida!

Wonderful location very close drive or short golf cart ride to beautiful beaches. Lots of local eats and shops in Mexico beach or nearby port st. Joe. House itself was very clean and well kept. Pool was great, back patio was decent. Some weeds but otherwise very well maintained. Back slider needs new wheels or taken off and reinstalled. We had an issue with the golf cart but they came and fixed it within a day or so. We loved it and will certainly consider coming back to this same house!

The house stay of 6 nights for 4 people.

There was only one small roll of paper towels. Not enough for 4 people. There was 3 small rolls of toilet paper for the 2 bathrooms. Not enough for 4 people. Asking to start the laundry for them upon our departure was a bit much. We were on vacation. There was a partially eaten hot pocket under the couch situated on the outside wall. Disgusting. Showed the place was not thoroughly cleaned. When the sprinklers came on about 3:50, there was a terrible noise that stayed on until about 5:00, when the sprinklers went off. Woke up the adults in the master bedroom every morning. Someone picked up the owners boat and did not make sure the gate was closed. Or else someone stole it. Have no idea. The walk to the beach was longer than listed. Whenever was using the master bathroom and you were in the other bedroom, it was very noisy. Woke someone up in the middle of the night, twice. We had a nice time because we made the best of things. We will not be returning for another vacation.

Bass family vacation

This was our second stay at The Sand Dollar Home was very clean as always. Removing the sliding back door and replacing with regular door made a bid difference in the cooling of master bedroom. If home had a screened back porch it would be perfect. We are already booked for Labor Day 2025. Sunshine Vacation Rental is very easy to work with. Thanks for a great July 4th. Also the pool is great and very clean.

Annual 4th of July Family Beach Trip

We loved staying at the Sandollar! I love the aground level, open floor plan, pool area, and especially having the enclosed fenced in backyard for our 2 pups! The only complaint we have is the side and across the street neighbors were a little rude, when we had a few local visitors that “parked on their grass” but other than that we loved our stay and may stay at this property again in the future!

Best Girls Weekend destination!

We were very happy with the house, pool and location. They were 6 women staying here for a long weekend “Girls” trip. We had enough room but with only 2 bathrooms we definitely had to do some coordination. The only a few things to mention to the owner. We had trouble with was the slider to the backyard and pool, it was hard to open and shut. Some of the patio furniture was beat up, a couple chairs and an umbrella were broken. Paper towels and the TP supply was a little light side, which we ending up buying additional and we had to unload a dishwasher upon arrival. Those are small things and everything else was perfect and we had such a great time! We would definitely stay here again!

House was very clean and well stocked with kitchen essentials. Some minor inconveniences included the dryer not working and the only entrance to the back yard being through the master bedroom. The sliding door was very hard to open and close. House could use some updating. Overall provided us a good place to stay.
