Excellent pet friendly location 50 steps from the beach with plenty of room for a large family gathering. We slept 14 comfortably. Great layout with ensuite bedrooms, oversized garage with 2nd fridge was helpful. Several porches to relax on and ocean views from top porch. Would stay here again!

Our getaway was delightful, and the house suited our needs perfectly. We loved being just steps from the shore, and the surrounding neighborhood was a pleasure to explore. The complimentary bikes made getting around simple and fun, and having a separate ice maker was a welcome bonus. One small note: we looked for a water filter on the fridge for drinking water but couldn’t locate one.if the house has one, a brief mention of where it is would be helpful for future guests.if it doesn’t, adding one would be a nice touch. All in all, we had a lovely time and would gladly stay here again.

Thank you for your lovely review of Sand Dollar! We’re delighted the home was a perfect fit for your getaway and that you enjoyed the easy beach access, neighborhood, complimentary bikes, and separate ice maker. We also appreciate your suggestion about filtered drinking water. We’ll check the fridge’s setup and, if a filter is available, make sure its location is clearly noted for future guests. If not, we’ll pass along your recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back for another wonderful stay!

The Sand Dollar is a very clean and spacious home. The beach and community pool extremely close, but has limited beach views. The home is very comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the gated community and our stay in this beautiful vacation home.

We absolutely loved staying at this house\! The location couldn’t have been better—it’s only about a 1–2 minute walk to the beach with super easy access\. The home was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation\.The owners were thoughtful enough to provide beach chairs and umbrellas, which we really appreciated\. Just keep in mind that the beach chair and umbrella rental service on the beach is operated by a different company, so if you want the setup they provide each day, you’ll need to rent directly from them\. Otherwise, you’re all set with the chairs and umbrellas at the house\!We had such a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again\. We can’t wait to come back!Tennessee Family!!
