This was our first time visiting Ocean Lakes and we were not disappointed! Ken and Fentrice were so easy to work with and readily available to contact. Everything went smoothly, including booking a reservation, checking in, checking out, and receiving our deposit back. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We especially enjoyed the large, covered porch on the main floor that had plenty of room and seating for lounging, relaxing, and eating meals. The interior and exterior decorating is beautiful and added to our overall experience. The kitchen was well equipped with everything a family could need for preparing meals. The beach is a short (2 min) drive, as well as plenty of other amenities that the campground offers. Our families enjoyed the playground, the arcade (puts Chuck E. Cheese to shame!), the indoor and outdoor pools (includes a children's splash zone), the mini golf, the picnic area, and more! We didn't have to leave the campground at all during our stay, thanks to the local "sandy mart" and all the great entertainment opportunities on site. One of the most helpful "perks" for our family was the fact that Ken & Fentrice don't charge anything extra than what you see posted. We had the option to clean the house ourselves (all cleaning supplies are provided on site - have to follow specific cleaning directions) or pay a fee to have it cleaned for us. Thank you so much for a wonderful, affordable vacation that we will remember for years to come.

Great Beach House! My family and I only spent the weekend here for my son's baseball tournament, but we would have loved to have stayed an entire week:) We have stayed at several vacation rentals, but this was the best of all! The home had everything we needed and more...Extremely comfortable, clean, peaceful and a BEAUTIFUL home!

Summer 2010

My family spent the first week of August 2010 in this house. Let me just say that the owners were excellent to rent from. We had everything we needed with the exception of linens. The house is clean and accomodated all eight of us quite nicely. The porches on both floors were very relaxing and enjoyable to visit with friends who were also staying at Ocean Lakes.The covered parking was great when it rained. I would 100% recommend renting this house and we look forward to renting from them again in the future! :)

My family of 8 spent the last week of September at this home. We all loved it and had a great time. This house is very clean and roomy. My father is 81 years old and handicapped and that is one reason we chose this house. The ramp was great and the 1st floor is handicapped accessible. We loved the golf cart and the intercom system with a radio.We would recommend this house to anyone. We hope to come back next year. The owners are very nice...a pleasure to work with...A+++

My family spent a week at this home during Labor Day. We have been going to Ocean Lakes for the past eight years and this has been the nicest place we have stayed. The home is beautiful and well equipped with everything you could possibly need plus lots of extras. The porch is wonderful to sit on and read, take a nap or just spend quite time. The owners could not have been any nicer to work with. We enjoyed our stay so much we stayed an extra night. I would highly recommend this home. I have already checked into renting it again.

We had about 10 people to stay at "The Sand Dollar" in May and we throughly enjoyed ourselves. The covered porch was the best place to take a nap.The ramp made for easy access and it had all the amentities of home and then some. The owners where great to work with, very nice people. We look forward to returning to "The Sand Dollar" very soon.On a rating of 1 to 10 I rate it a 12.

We spent Christmas at the Sand Dollar and enjoyed our stay. This is a lovely home and the owners were wonderful to deal with. I would recomment this property to any family that enjoys the beach. It is very roomy and clean, everything worked well and all the comforts of home was nice. Loved the tiki-cart.

Our family of 8 spent Labor Day weekend enjoying/relaxing at the Sand Dollar. We found everything that we needed and more. The owners were more than pleasant to work with. Would definitely recommend this house for large families!

My family and The Davenport family just got back from our vacation at your house. I have to say your house truly made it a vacation. It was like being at home. It has to be one of the nicest house in Ocean Lakes. We hope to vacation in your house for years to come. Thank you for making your house our house. 8-2-2008

We throughly enjoyed our stay at "The Sand Dollar". The house was beautiful and very comfortable. This is by far the best vacation experience that we have ever had. We were able to enjoy all of the comforts of home while at the beach. We hope to return again next summer and stay longer!

My family voted this as the best house in 5 years of renting beach houses. It is very spacious and well equipped. The Sand Dollar offers amenities that we did not find in 4 previous houses. Great place to vacation!
