Our best vacation
We loved our stay!!! Plenty of room for our family, wonderful kitchen, roomy deck with a beautiful ocean view, and a fabulous private beach shared with neighbor. We are so glad to have stayed at the Sand Dollar House and are looking forward to returning again next year.
Great Beachfront House
We love this home and the location is wonderful. We are returning guests and we can’t wait to return next year….it’s well stocked and very secluded. It’s like we have the beach all to ourselves because the public access points are so far away. We also appreciate that the ground level is concrete and we can hang out to get out of the sun. The owners are very responsive and promptly refunded our deposit…we will be renting again next year.
We had a great time
The house is set up with a great view of the Bay and is wonderful for families with small Kids. We were amazed at the difference of the beach between low tide and high tide, and even more so that it worked to our advantage. The morning and evening were great for finding sea shells, sand dollars and building sand castles. The afternoon was perfect for swimming.
The owners were great and responded quickly to all the questions we had. There was plenty to do within a short drive but also felt like we had the whole bay to ourselves which is not a easy combination of things to do.
Whether you like to stay at the house the entire vacation, or only sleep there you'll find everything you need at the house.
Great family vacation
4 adults, 2 toddlers, and 1 golden retriever fit nicely in this house, and the beach was absolutely perfect for everyone. Low tide was great for a larger beach area, and high tide was great for swimming. Only complaint about the house was that the only bathroom is located in one of the bedrooms. We made it work without incident, though. We would definitely vacation here again!
Perfect spot. Perfect views. Perfect weather. Just perfect.
I really can't overstate how idyllic this spot is. So clean and so comfortable. Even the beds were dreamy. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and I plan to.
Wonderful family vacation!
What a wonderful vacation at the Sand Dollar Beach House!!!! It was perfect for all ages. The house was amazing. The beach was perfect. We spent the entire week at the beach. We never left the property! The neighbors were friendly and welcoming. My family can't wait to go back next year!!!!
