Beautiful beach area with the option to rent cabanas from a local. We did appreciate the four beach chairs and the cooler that were in the condo, they came in very handy. The check in process was smooth and the front desk workers were very helpful in answering any questions we had. We will definitely recommend this rental.

We had an excellent time and stay. The condo was clean and had plenty of storage and amenities. The building had construction going on the ground level so there was some noise during the day. The beach was very nice and the views are stunning! We did not use the pool but it looked nice and the hot tub was nice as well.

The kitchen was also supplied with everything we needed to cook breakfast and a few dinners. Thanks for the great vacation!

This condo was very enjoyable for our week stay, equipped with absolutely everything we needed. I have my favorite condo in Miramar Beach and this condo is equal in quality, comfort and property amenities. The sunset views from the balcony were amazing. The pool and hot tub were great. There is still some construction going on from the hurricane, but the Sand Dollar property is so well maintained and convenient in location up and down the coast. We drove up to Clearwater and Tarpon Springs, and down to John’s Pass, Treasure Island and St. Petersburg. Just so much fun. Ed the host is very responsive and welcoming into his property. He wants to make everything just right for your stay. We had a wonderful week and I can’t wait to return to this property next year or sooner. Thank you, Ed.

This was our first time visiting Indian Shores. We had a wonderful time staying at the Sand Dollar Resort. With the pool, hot tub and beach steps away, plus restaurants, grocery shopping near by there was no need to travel far. It was just what we wanted a fun and relaxing time!

Such a beautiful condo with amazing views. We saw dolphins every morning! We enjoyed the clean, uncrowded beach daily and the heated pool and hot tub in the evenings. Great location --close to restaurants and grocery stores and a short drive to John's pass. Communication with Ed was great, he is so helpful! Would recommend staying here to anyone!!

About the host

Engineering geologist. Retired after 35 years of service with the US Environmental Protection Agency where I specialized in clean-up of hazardous waste sites. Veteran, Army Corps of Engineers. President Sand Dollar Condominium Association. Reside in Cincinnati, Ohio along with 4 rescue dogs.

Why they chose this property

I have travelled to many areas in Florida. This part of Florida between Clearwater Beach and St Petersburg Beach is the most beautiful and relaxing part of Florida, yet convenient to many facilities and attractions. The 15 miles of wide white sand beaches are fantastic and are suitable for swiming, walking, running, and even bicycles as the sand is firm near the tide line yet fluffy back from the tide.

What makes this property unique

Great breakfasts and sunsets on the balcony overlooking the beach and Gulf,great tropical garden on the beach with palms, tiki huts, hot tub, and pool all beachside. Great restraunts in the area and a family oriented condo atmosphere. Be sure to visit some of the great Florida State Parks in the area including Honeymoon Island, Caladesi Island, Myakka River and Egmont Key, featuring trails,boat rides, kayaks,bird watching, and even alligators.
