About this property
Spacious Oceanfront Studio Condo A3 at Sand Dollar Condominiums
Welcome to our home away from home – Sand Dollar Unit A-03 - our beautiful ground floor (no steps to climb) oceanfront studio condo located on the island of dive/snorkel freedom – Bonaire. Our condo is one of the largest studios on Bonaire at about 600 square feet. It is truly our home away from home and we have added lots of the little extras that make a vacation special. The condo comfortably accommodates two adults and is most often rented by couples looking to get away for a while and relax. Please see our guest comments below.
The condo features a refreshing tropical theme throughout with a large complete newly renovated kitchen including new appliances and everything you could need to prepare your own meals. With a large renovated bathroom including a glass-block walk-in shower and for a comfortable rest a queen size bed with ample pillows with ceiling fan overhead we know you will instantly feel right at home.
For entertainment a 60 inch LG smart TV with multiple cable channels, various books, wildlife guides and island guides are all for your use. Additionally the condo includes an ultra quiet state of the art 24,000 BTU split air-conditioner capable of cooling the entire condo in a matter of minutes. We have also provided an electronic security safe for all your valuables that can accommodate a normal size laptop computer. You will find ample storage and hangers for clothing and dive/snorkel gear including a dedicated hanging/drying area on the patio so no need to leave your gear in the common dive shop area.
LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION
Quite simply, our unit is one of the closest condo units in the Sand Dollar Resort complex to the water with a screened-in patio (no bugs) and year round sunset views. Not all units can say this so please ask to avoid disappointment. From our condo you will be looking directly at the beautiful Caribbean Sea and Klein Bonaire through floor to ceiling sliding glass doors which allow for access to the screened-in patio with ceiling fan and wonderful year round views. We have provided comfortable table and patio chairs to make a nice eating and resting area on the patio. We always eat our meals, enjoy a drink, or do a little reading on the screened in patio in quiet comfort and relaxation.. The patio door provides direct access to the oceanfront promenade unlike second floor units.
Again, we feel location is important and we love ours. Our condo is the closest ground floor studio unit in the Sand Dollar Resort complex to the beach, dive center and pier but it still remains quiet, private and secure. Dive dock operated by Dive Friends are ready to help with all your shore diving and boat diving needs.
Fantastic shore diving and snorkeling is located directly in front of the Sand Dollar Resort on Bari Reef – rated the top reef in the Caribbean for variety of fish species. As our guest at Sand Dollar you will have unlimited direct access to Bari Reef for incredible morning, afternoon, twilight and night diving/snorkeling – all just a convenient short walk away. Sand Dollar Resort is centrally located on Bonaire so shopping, the town center and all dive/snorkel sites north or south are within a few minutes walk or drive. You are also only a short drive away from some of the best kite and windsurfing in the world.
Our local property management, oversees maintenance and cleanings to make your trip hassle free. We have large fresh water pool, lounge chairs, lighted tennis courts, bar/restaurant on-site and with several other restaurants, gym/spa, ice cream parlor, bank, grocery store, and shopping a very short walk away the little conveniences and forgotten necessities are right there for you. We are proud to have guests return year after year to stay with us and will do everything we can to make your stay a special one to remember. Need help with a rental vehicle, just ask and we will be happy to provide information and agency referrals as part of a vacation package.
We are not absentee owners but visit Bonaire as often as we can and listen to what past guests have to say about their stay with us. We take pride in our unit and do our best to make friends and guests as comfortable as possible. More than two adults in your group, please inquire about co-renting a second studio or 1 bedroom unit just steps away from ours. Many guests have told us they enjoy the privacy of having their own condo unit while appreciating the convenience of being so close to friends and family. Our condo books up quickly so we are sorry if it is not available for your preferred dates. If this is the case then we can help arrange a rental with a neighboring condo to meet your vacation needs. We are happy to answer any questions you might have, just send us an email. Thanks for considering our condo for your Bonaire vacation plans.

PLEASE NOTE: The Bonaire marine park, STINAPA, has changed its Nature Park Pass system. Now, instead of purchasing the dive pass or snorkel pass from a dive shop, you must purchase it online.
There are no more plastic discs to attach to your mask or BCD. Instead, you get a paper permit that you must keep with you when you head to the water.
You should purchase the Nature Pass (snorkeling or diving) permit before you leave home, print a couple of copies and keep one copy at the condo. (It is my understanding that the dive shops are not printing the permits for our guests so you must bring your permit with you.) That way, if the copy you take with you gets damaged or destroyed, you will have a spare. Here is the link for purchasing a Nature Pass.

This a perfect studio condo with all you need to enjoy a Bonaire vacation. Location and amenities make it our home away from home at Sand Dollar A3. A beautiful reef off the screened in porch, waking up everyday joyous. Evening sunsets viewed at the waters edge, perfection. Safe and secure and a dive shop just next door. Love, love love it!!!
Amazing location & lovely spot with all the things you could need. Great access to snorkeling & dive sites, so close to so many great reataurants. Highly recommend.
A3 at Sand Dollar is a spacious comfortable studio with a well stocked kitchen with everything you need. Screened in porch with beautiful evening sunsets. Bari reef right out your door. Definitely will go back to A3. Great Condo!
This is was our second time renting this unit. It's perfect size for a couple. We love the location in the gated community. Super short walk to the private beach and the dive shop. The condo has a nice large TV and full kitchen when you just want to chill in the condo. There is a handful of restaurants and an ice cream shop with in walking distance which is great.
Location was excellent for us. this was our 2nd stay at this condo. We dive with Dive Friends Bonaire and they are only 30 meters away. Great dive site right out front. No stairs which was great for us. Beautiful sunsets.
The condo was just as advertised. The beach out front had plenty of sea glass for treasure hunting, the property was super clean and well stocked. The restaurant at the dive shop complex was sooo good. Definitely laid back and friendly place to stay. The restaurant stockec
Great property just as described…perfect location for my diving for the week as well as town, restaurants etc…would highly recommend this property and hope to rent from this provider again :)
We had a outstanding 14 day vacation at Sand Dollar A3 condo. The condo description and pictures were accurate. We had everything we needed to relax and cook meals in the condo, it became a home away from home. The condo's screened porch and beautiful grounds made relaxing after a day of diving exceptional. This condo is close to everything you need for a Bonaire stay.
We are repeat guests at Scott & Susan’s place and it is always amazing! Perfect location and has everything we need. Really our perfect getaway. They respond quickly if you have questions. Certainly a gem!
Great spot ! We love Sand Dollar and have been going there for 20 years. This unit was perfect. Close proximity to the dive dock and the water. Definitely will be back.
Everything about our time in Bonaire was great. Sand Dollar and Susan's condo are perfect. Never feel like we have to leave. Everything is right there for great diving & snorkeling.
We've stayed at A3 several times and love it! It's not fancy, but it's clean, well laid-out, has a comfortable bed, has every kitchen item a reasonable person might need, and is steps from wonderful snorkeling! We'll be back!

Scott and Susan received their diver certifications in the cold waters of the inland Northwest and travels to explore new exotic warm water diving. We lived in Spokane, WA, which is in the Great Inland Northwest about 25 miles west of Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. We have now relocated to the Florida Keys in 2014 which allows us to be closer to our home away from home in Bonaire.
