I have stayed at the Sand Dollar Estate twice. Both times I have had excellent service and a relaxing, rejuvenating stay! Whenever one visits the island (as I have done multiple times over the last five years) one must remember that renting a house is different than staying at a hotel. Friendly service often depends upon how one treats the gracious people of St. Thomas. The staff at the Sand Dollar has always been wonderful, polite and attentive. The facilities have been consistently updated and are always in excellent repair. I will continue to enjoy my time in St. Thomas while staying at the Sand Dollar and would advise anyone considering it to do the same! P.S. Make sure to hop into town... the jewelry shopping is fabulous...as well as the restaurants down by the docks.. if you can, rent a boat and go fishing! It is worth it.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We stayed at Sand Dollar in January 2013. Our family has travelled extensively and have stayed at beach front properties all over the Caribbean, but nothing compares to Sand Dollar. The best part of the property is the private beach. It is always calm with plenty of wildlife and fish. The sand is powdery and the beach provides absolute privacy. The villa itself is beautifully laid out. There are always places to unwind and socialize. We ate mostly at the villa, but there are great restaurants and fun take out places all over the island. Bob, the manager, is most helpful. He always made us feel welcome and right at home. The highlight of our trip was taking a private boat charter to the nearby islands. Our son got PADI (Scuba) certified at one of the most beautiful places on earth. I highly recommend this property for any family vacation.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We just returned from Sand Dollar. The property was perfect for our large group. The setting was wonderful and relaxing with a lot to do. The interior of the house was spacious and clean with a well-stocked kitchen and all the modern appliances. Bob, the manager, was very friendly. He met us at the airport and made multiple trips to meet our friends who arrived at different times. It saved us a lot on taxi fare. He also pre-stock our groceries. We had everything we needed to start our vacation. He was always pleasant and willing to help while we were there. We had Monica cook for several nights. She was delightful and accommodating as most of us have very different dietary requirements. The fishing right off the private beach was incredible! We caught tarpon, bonefish, and grouper. Best beach we ever stayed on. Plan at least one day to see the other islands. Dine out a couple nights, try Old Stone Farm House and Mafolie. Book a massage at the spa. Try the Mahogany Run Golf Course, only 5 minutes away. Check the cruise ship schedule and avoid downtown when they are busy. Get the car ferry schedule from Red Hook to St. John and explore the island. Don't use Verizon Wireless, they will hit you with roaming charges for phone and data. AT&T is much better in the islands. Ask Suzanne if she has any suggestions for activities. Overall we had a great time. We will definitely return next year.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Sand Dollar Estate will forever remain in my memory, not only because it provided the perfect location for my dream wedding but also the perfect family vacation! We stayed one week and everything was wonderful, from beginning to end. Booking was simple, thanks to the owners, and they were a great resource for planning my wedding and vacation at the estate. The estate is in great condition and any needs were readily taken care of by Bob. All online descriptions and pictures just as they were online. Our extended family of 13 stayed in the house with more than enough room for everyone, including the kids. We bought some food and supplies at Cost-U-Less before we arrived, which Bob picked up and had at the estate upon arrival. We did hire a cook for the week and had catering for the larger wedding events due to the large number of guests, and Shelly Berry was fantastic The wedding and reception included 32 people and space was never an issue. The house is welcoming and comfortable, with plenty of space to spend time together or find a quiet place to read, whatever you like. Critiques (and I'm having to think hard to come up with any): The pool is a little small by Texas standards but it was never an issue as we usually split time and people between the beach and the pool. Keep citronella all around....we bought lots of candles so out on the deck after dark was nice but watch out for sand flies! The deck gets hot during the day and to go between the 2 levels the stairs are outside. Driving is an issue on the island. We did rent a van, which I'd do again as it was good or daytime activities. But, if we were all going anywhere we didn't fit in 1 car so we got a taxi. Also if we were going after dark or going to be drinking we used the taxi. Taxi was so easy and time efficient as we used the same driver all week. During the week we had days filled with great snorkeling in front of the estate. The water was also calm enough for the kids to swim without worry. There were lots of fish, sea turtles, stingaree, and on our wedding day even dolphins!!! We did kayaking, rented jet skis for one day, scheduled massages that were wonderful in the spa at the estate, and chartered a private cocktail cruise on Daydreamer. Our group loved Coral World too. Restaurant recommendations: Oceana, Amelia Cafe, and Havanna Blue. I would highly recommend Sand Dollar to anyone. We hope to return in the future!Did you find this review helpful?

We returned to the Sand Dollar recently after having our wedding there 2 years ago. Both stays were absolutely perfect. The house is amazing...well equiped, spacious, comfortable, and has tremendous outside living space. The private beach is incredible, even nicer than the main beach at Magen's bay! Suzanne and Steve were a pleasure to work with. We were very happy to spend another week with Bob, the property manager, who caters to every need. The 2 times we have visited have been dream vacations and we can't wait to return!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our stay at the Sand Dollar Estate could not have been better! We traveled down to get married and brought both sets of parents and siblings who had never met. The house is huge and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. It is beautifully decorated and all the bedrooms were gorgeous. Having our private private beach was the best part. It was so nice to have the option of the pool and beach, but most days were spent down at the beach. There are kayaks that we used all the time. We went into town a couple times but once you're in the house, you really don't want to leave. We would wake up and take our coffee outside and look into the water off the balcony at all the sea life there in the morning: Sea turtles, rays, schools of tarpon. The wedding was perfect as well. All the local vendors have worked in the Sand dollar before, so it couldn't go more smoothly. It takes all the stress off. I highly recommend staying here; all 15 of us had the most wonderful time.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We looked at several locations in the Virgin Islands as possibilities to have our wedding at. This place won hands down. The owners allowed us to tour the property with their property manager, bob, before committing. I knew right away this place was perfect. It has 3 separate outdoor decks, a private beach on megens bay only accessible from the property, beautiful furnishings inside and out, and is air conditioned in every room. Knowing we were having our wedding there, the owners sent us a list of recommended vendors. Because of their recommendations, we didn't need to hire a wedding planner. Everybody on that vendor list went above and beyond. They all were willing and happy to help with anything. The officiant, stu Scott, even put us in touch with a monko jumbie stilt dancer that we were able to hire last minute. Everything was perfect thanks to the owners help and suggestions. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here. There is plenty to do at the property, kayaks, snorkeling, a pool, billiards, a spa, gym, etc. This house is known to all the taxi drivers we met, as the "st. thomas White House" because of president Clinton's stays on the property. I should add that many of the vendors commented that the sand dollar is the most beautiful private villa rental in st. Thomas.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We had an amazing week at the Sand Dollar Estate. 14 of us rented the house and we had plenty of space for us all. We felt like we were in paradise all week long. The pictures of the house are beautiful and when we arrived, we realized that the pictures didn't even do the house and the view justice. This house is simply a paradise. Great amenities and features. Tons of deck space. A little of everything for groups of all sizes to utilize. Bob (the care taker of the house) is so friendly and was willing to help in any way to make our stay even better. Suzanne is so sweet and cares about the guests that will be staying at her place. She was a pleasure to work with. And Monica (the private chef) made meals that were delicious. She was willing to create menus that suited our tastes. Completely spoiled and so fortunate for our vacation. Top things we loved about the villa: 1: Unbelievable view 2: The ability to be at the private pool or beach 3: Kayaks to explore in or take to Magen's Bay beach. 4: Sounds systems that played out on the decks 5: Very comfortable beds and clean house 6: Amazing Staff. 7..... the list could go on forever. If you have the chance to rent, then I would definitely do it. This is the 2nd time our group has rented and we are already talking about doing it again! On the island, if someone asks where you stay, they know the house and they always say what a great place it is. So thank you, thank you, thank you for a luxurious and relaxing vacation.
