About this property

Ocean-Front, Bari Reef Studio (A4) with Gorgeous View

Bon Bini. Welcome to Bonaire.

[NOTE: Effective July 1, 2022, Bonaire adopted the Visitor Entry Tax (VET). To avoid the long line upon your arrival at Flamingo International airport, pay the VET online at https://tourismtax.bonairegov.com/ BEFORE you leave home. Be aware that some credit cards charge a Foreign Transaction Fee for purchases from a foreign country. To avoid the Foreign Transaction Fee, sign up for a no-annual-fee card that does not charge this additional fee.

For the latest on entry and departure COVID testing/paperwork requirements, go to: https://www.bonairecrisis.com/ and https://www.infobonaire.com/pcr-testing-on-bonaire-available-for-visitors/]

Wake up to bananaquits, troupials and parakeets calling. Throw open the room-darkening drapes to your stunning view of the Caribbean. Step onto your private, screened porch. See from Klein Bonaire all the way north to Brandaris, the highest point on Bonaire.
Relax with your morning coffee and breakfast on the screened
porch. Decide on the red or blue flip flops, bathing suit or shorts. Spend your whole day having fun.
Come home to beautiful sunsets while relaxing with your favorite drink on the screened porch or sundeck. Have a nice dinner. Pick your next day’s activities. Drift off to sleep in your comfy bed. Then, do it all again tomorrow.

Now you’re on Island Time. Ahhhh

We chose our piece of paradise not only for its view but also for its peaceful and convenient location. You are only 75 – 100 feet from the Caribbean with easy access to the turquoise waters of Bari Reef. You have choices – enter from our sandy beach, our sundeck via stairs to the water or our pier for swimming, snorkeling and diving. Bari, our house reef, is renowned for the greatest fish diversity in the Caribbean. Bonaire, consistently ranked as one of the best dive destinations in the Caribbean, defines shore-diving freedom.

Our studio’s location at Sand Dollar is perfect because you have:

The privacy, security, trade winds and fabulous views afforded by our second floor, oceanfront site
The services of our on-site Dive Friends Bonaire full service dive/snorkel operation at your fingertips- right next to our building. They offer guest gear storage, easy access to air, free upgrades to Nitrox, free weights and belts, rinse tanks, professional instruction, boat dives, rental gear, island tours, kayaking and much more.
Guest parking far off the street but just across our landscaped area. Traffic noise is a non-issue.
Central location to all the island’s shore diving sites - none more than a short drive along the coast.
Peace next to the sea, but proximity to shopping.
Banking, restaurants, ice cream shop, spa/fitness facility, retail dive shop conveniently next to or across the street from Sand Dollar

Our fully furnished, oceanfront studio has everything you need to make your vacation the best ever.

A4 Studio Features

Please see even more condo photos in the link shown below.

Some resorts provide air conditioning at extra cost. Some air condition only the bedrooms. Our quiet air conditioning system cools the entire condo. But, you might not even need it. It’s amazingly comfortable with only fresh breezes. Because of our orientation and height above the sea, we have consistent Trade Winds for natural cooling. They flow into the condo through the window and full size screen door and out the 9-foot wide sliding glass doors across the screened porch. Ceiling fans on the porch, over the bed & couch and in the bath add to your comfort.

Want to enjoy Bonaire with more friends or family? We can arrange the rental of a similar, nicely appointed adjacent to and near our condo. You’ll enjoy being so close, but have the privacy of your own place.

We love Sand Dollar Condo Resort for all of its advantages;
Longest continuous beach frontage of any Bonaire resort
Eddy’s Sunrise Restaurant/Bar on site, a great place for meals or a casual drink by the pool. (By advance reservation, only.)
Close to many other restaurants for a taste of all the island’s famous cuisines
Large oceanfront sundeck with charcoal barbecue pit
Recently renovated, on-site, fresh water swimming pool
Lighted tennis courts
On site security
Local property management, rentals liaison and maintenance
Mid-stay maid service and change of linens, towels available at additional cost (for 2 week-stay or longer).

This unit is truly your home away from home and we know you’ll be comfortable. Before you arrive in Bonaire, we can help you with truck rentals, grocery locations, resources and directions. Once you’re there, our on-island management team will take care of any needs during your stay. And, before you head home, we hope you’ll post your comments so we can make your next stay even better. You’ll be thinking about your next Bonaire visit even before you leave the island!

PLEASE NOTE: The Bonaire marine park, STINAPA, has changed its Nature Park Pass system (since we left the island in March 2019!). Now, instead of purchasing the dive pass or snorkel pass from a dive shop, you must purchase it online.

There are no more plastic discs to attach to your mask or BCD. Instead, you get a paper permit that you must keep with you when you head to the water.

You should purchase the Nature Pass (snorkeling or diving) permit before you leave home, print a couple of copies and keep one copy at the condo. (It is my understanding that the dive shops are not printing the permits for our guests so you must bring your permit with you.) That way, if the copy you take with you gets damaged or destroyed, you will have a spare. Here is the link for purchasing a Nature Pass.

Such a great stay!
Sand Dollar is a great place to stay: convenient location, secure, great snorkeling and diving right out front, within an easy walk of some good restaurants. This condo is a great choice for a couple--it's clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We try to find a screened porch for any island vacation so we don't need so much bug spray, and we made full use of this one! The property manager, Pierre, was very helpful and Laura was friendly and gracious. We'd love to come back.

Beautiful sunsets!
We enjoyed our stay again this year! We love the location and the beautiful sunsets from the screened balcony. Everything we needed was there and the property manager was most helpful and accommodating.

Great Location
Everything that a couple needs for a break from the cold up north. Central location with easy drive to snorkeling anywhere on the island. Eddy's restaurant on site as well as Blennie's and Breeze 'N Biteson on either side next door. I am already missing my breakfast on the balcony each morning.

Fun two week stay!
Condo was well equipped. Pierre, the property manager, was very friendly and quick to respond when we had a minor request. We enjoyed the patio immensely and spent most of our time out there when we weren't diving. Sunsets from the patio just like the listing depicts. Dive Friends right on property was so convenient and Bari reef out front provided hours of shore diving with fabulous critters! Road trips to other shore dives were so fun and Salt Pier ended up being our favorite. Five visits there! The only negative, (and not in the condo owner's fault) is that there are very few lounge chairs provided on property. I would suggest guests finding a store that sells beach chairs, and when you arrive buy your own so you know you have seating out on the waterfront property or down on the small sandy beach.

Why they chose this property

We chose Sand Dollar because of its central, oceanfront location, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, long and lovely shoreline, phenomenal views and awesome Bari Reef.

What makes this property unique

We love being able to walk 75 feet out of our condo and be in the warm, crystal clear, calm water snorkeling, swimming and/or diving to our heart's content. We enjoy relaxing on our second floor screen porch and taking in the tropical views, sunsets, sounds and smells.
