                    I don't usually write reviews, but this time I had to make an exception. What a great place! The house is beautifully appointed and maintained with care. The pantry and kitchen were amazingly well-stocked and equipped. We could have cooked anything. The small garden out front was a pleasure to behold each morning, and added even a little more privacy. Away from the traffic but less than 5 minutes walk from the beach, this was one of the quietest beach homes we have rented. A most gracious owner who is so accessible ensured our enjoyment. We will be back!

                    Owner response: It is a pleasure to receive such a nice compliment. Everyone should come and enjoy their stay at "SandDollar"!

                    Thanks you for a great stay! The house is absolutely lovely! The decor is so warm and inviting we just loved it! We had such a relaxing vacation here. You have thought of everything here, we needed for nothing! I thought for sure we would go to Walmart for things that we forgot, but no need, because you had it here! The kids loved the third floor deck and had a blast! We will be sure to look you up next year. Also thanks for opening up the house to my little Yorkie, Bella.

They spend quite time reading on the third floor deck! I will always cherish the memories of my 50th birthday here! Perfect spot-near the Ocean and close to everything! We couldn't have chosen a better place! Thanks for everyting!

                    My family and I would like to Thank You for this outstanding rental! We had a spectacular week! We had my Mom, StepFather & Brother out with us as well. The house is gorgeous! We spent a great deal of time at the beach and the pool. Our dogs enjoyed relaxing on the beautiful screened in porch. I grew up in the Panhandle. I used to come out to the beaches here in Destin on a regular basic. It was great to have such a prefect home to bring my family to for their first Destin Beach experience?

                    We so, so loved Sand Dollar! It was just perfect! Such a quiet street and secluded grounds AND half a block to the pool! The beaches were pristine & we went every day we were here. Our kids are 7 & 11, & they had the upstairs bedroom. They loved it up there- we hardly saw them. Our little Sugar enjoyed your grounds as well. I just noticed the grapes yesterday. My Mother-in-law was very comfy in the extra room. Your special little touches indicate how much you care about this place, and it was a privilege to stay here. We'll be back...soon...

                    We truly enjoyed our time here at Sand Dollar. It was quite a peaceful stay here. I enjoyed watching the lizards in the trees. They caught my attention the first day I was here. We don't have any like these in Texas. I was also impressed with the beach- never have seen such white sand and pretty water. Truly a joy! Thanks for everything

                    We had a great time at Sand Dollar! Thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality. The house is just adorable, full of everything we needed and was prefect for our "Spring Break" crowd. The teen girls loved their private "suite" upstairs and own porch. We loved Clipper Cove and its location, so convenient to everything, especially the Beach! Thanks again for everything.

                    I stayed at the Sand Dollar Cottage for a week with my fiance, our two kids, a friend of the family, my mother, brother and stepfather. Sounds like a lot of people, I know... We fit without issue. This place is so much more than you can imagine. It was the perfect vacation. I grew up in the area and brought my new family down for vacation and I can think of no better way to introduce them to my home than in the Sand Dollar.We went to the beach every day and the pool every evening. We walked to beautiful town centers and delicious restaurants. It was like rediscovering my home. I never knew it could be so wonderful! Oh, and the Sand Dollar is pet friendly, so my two beautiful Boxers got to enjoy the trip as well... Bliss.
