Location to the quiet beach is a daily pleasure. The pool is wonderful and well maintained. The hosts respond quickly to any concerns but in 4 weeks we had no need to contact them. Additionally, the house is tucked away in a very quiet alcove

Our stay here was great! The saltwater pool was warm. The home had the best accommodations. The neighborhood was peaceful yet close to bars and restaurants with transportation accessible via Stumpy's Free Rides (just be sure to tip your driver) Just a few minute walk to the beach with beautiful sunsets. One couldn't ask for a better host. Thank you, Kirsten.

The Sand Dollar was a wonderful place to stay with our two young children and parents. The pool was perfect and the walk to the beach was incredibly easy and quick. The beach was very private and beautiful. We enjoyed looking for shark teeth and tried to beat another person’s record in the guest book - 2000. But we fell short - if we didn’t have young kids that needed naps we would have beat the record for sure! The home has almost everything you need. There is a free golf cart shuttle that will come pick you up certain hours of the day, which we used several times. A very convenient location to restaurants and town. We would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful home in an excellent area and very close to the beach! We enjoyed being able to walk across the street to the beach anytime we wanted and to have the ability to return at anypoint for naps for the little one! Excellent communication and easy check in! The house also had beach chairs, an umbrella and coolers to use as well! The pool was great as well to relax in while at the house!
