Perfect Vacation

We returned home today after a fabulous vacation at Sand Dollars! The house was perfect, the pool perfect, the lagoon perfect, and the weather was perfect. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed ourselves! We were so sad to see it end. The house was just right for our needs; it was very well stocked, clean, roomy, and comfortable. We absolutely loved starting our mornings on one of the decks. The location was wonderful. Initially we were surprised to see that we were 4 rows back from the beach, but we soon realized the location was ideal. We enjoyed the lagoon so much and while we were close enough to enjoy the beach (short walk), we were secluded enough so we didn't have any run-ins with college kids or busy crowds. We actually caught crab in the lagoon! That was fun and delicious. Between the two families we have 8 kids ranging in 18-3. Everyone enjoyed themselves equally. We are already planning next year's trip and would love to use this house again. I absolutely recommend this beach house to anyone. We really enjoyed the area as well. We had a great time with the younger kids at The Hangout and at Lulu's. Both were great family outings. We didn't feel the need to go far with the pool, lagoon, and beach so accessible from the house. It was very relaxing. Thanks Gail!

Thanks you so much for letting us use you house and working with me on the lease dates. We had a great time and the house was great, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. I love to cook and I had everything I needed. The house was clean and well maintained. We had a great time on the dock crabbing, swimming in the pool, sitting in the hot tub, and on the beach (witch wasn't too far to walk). We found some pretty shell on the beach and that made our 3 year old granddaughter happy. There was plenty of room the pictures on the net doesn't do it justice because it was nicer than it looked. I will recommend this to my family and friends and will call you the next time I visit Gulf Shores.

Gorgeous property, awesome location! You couldn’t do better! My family stayed at Sand Dollars for a week and enjoyed every minute. The condo itself was beautifully decorated and felt more like a five-star resort than a typical beach-area condo. It was also very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools we needed to make great meals for the family. We spent lots of time every day down at the fishing dock, at the pool or sitting on the porch watching the wildlife and enjoying the weather. We also went to the local public beach (just a few minutes away) and the state park beaches (about 15 minutes away) and both were clean and lots of fun for the kids. We had such a wonderful time we’re already planning our next trip to Sand Dollars!

We loved the house, very nice and great decor. The kids loved the pool everyday and we walked down the dock each day. Close enough to walk to beach. It was a wonderful week!!! Thanks.

This is a great house at a great price. We had 12 people in the house for a week and everyone had a great time. Lots of room with easy access to the ocean. We will definatly be looking to stay here again on our next trip to Gulf Shores!

we had a wonderful time, the place is beautiful,well equipped with whatever you need, swimming area is great especially if u have children we have three year old twins and they LOVE the small pool they can get in and out themselves then over to the hot tub, the only pool we did not get into was the bigger pool didn't need too we also had fun in the little pool. I myself love to run,there is an area on the side of the road they have made for biking walking or running it's great!!! the beach is so easy to get to just about 2 minutes down the street, kids loved that.to sum it up it was a great get away, we have went 2 years in a row and hopefully we can go next year, one more thing the shrimp there is great you have to try it!!!!!

Thank you Gail! We LOVED the house as did everyone that came by to visit. There was plenty of room for the 10 of us that stayed in the house, the kitchen was awesomely supplied, and the hot tub was a HIT! It was absolutely gorgeous in and around the house. Thank you for being so reasonably priced too! We have been telling everyone about what a gorgeous place it was and how great the owner was! Thanks!! Andrea Vaughn

Gail, what a wonderful house! The layout lends itself to privacy for all guests which gave us each a way to have escape time. We could not have asked for anything more in the kitchen. It was ideal. My husband and I took a nap on the dock and enjoyed the hot tub too. It was really relaxing and the home just made it complete. Thank you! I will definitely tell my friends.

We had a good time at your place on the coast. I hope all was found to be in good order after our departure. The place was wonderful and relaxing. Being a cook, I loved the kitchen. It was the best supplied kitchen that I have ever had in a vacation rental. If we ever return to the gulf coast we will contact you again and I will recommended your vacation rentals to any one I know that will be visiting the Alabama Gulf Coast. Thanks so much. Samantha
