Om overnatningsstedet

Oceanfront, nyligt renoveret 2 BR / 2BA @ Spektakulære B7 Sand Dollar Resort

2 rummelige soveværelser: en kingsize seng (ny madras) i soveværelset, to enkeltsenge (nye madrasser) i det andet soveværelse, begge soveværelser med masser af opbevarings- og gulvplads

2 uberørte nyrenoverede badeværelser, med bruseniche, en fastgjort til soveværelset, det andet støder op til gæstesoveværelset

Nyrenoveret, fuldt udstyret køkken med alle apparater og madlavning og køkkenredskaber og madopbevaringsbeholdere, som du har brug for (herunder crock pot!)

Nye klimaanlæg i begge soveværelser

Ny klimaanlæg i stue / spisestue og køkken (ikke nødvendigt at bruge på grund af den konstante vindvind, der blæser gennem lejligheden, og anbefales ikke at bruge, fordi det er bedre at lytte til vinden og bølgerne end til AC enhed).

Stor screenet veranda med loft ventilator

Fire andre loft fans og en bevægelig gulv fan

Gratis og altid pålidelig internetforbindelse via vores egen router og wifi

Gratis mobiltelefon lån (hvis tilgængelig i receptionen)

Kabel TV

Maid service to gange om ugen

Stort elektronisk pengeskab til bærbare og kameraer

Gratis starter forsyninger: sæber, papirhåndklæder, toiletpapir, skraldespand, opvaskemaskine sæbe

Gear-hængende og tørring område på verandaen (i tilfælde af at du ikke forlade dit gear i den nærliggende dykke butik opbevaringsrum, som vi anbefaler)

Dive Venner, vores on-site dykkerbutik tilbyder fulde fem-stjernede PADI-tjenester: udveksling af tankskibe, båddyk, udstyrsudlejning og reparationer, skyllevogne, lagerfaciliteter, kurser og andre udendørs aktiviteter

Væggene er smagfuldt indrettede med lokal kunst og originale fotografier.

Måske er den bedste ting om vores Condo er placering og udformning af udvej. Det er i midten af ​​øen, så det optager den mest bekvemme beliggenhed for dykning op og ned kysterne; og du kan se ud i undren på havet fra næsten alle værelser redde badeværelser (medmindre du holde døren åben til master badeværelse) og det andet soveværelse. Havet føles som det tilhører dig, og himlen så godt. Og selvom vores Condo er en del af en udvej, Sand Dollar er en stille, fredeligt og private paradis. Vi elsker valg af socialt samvær med gæster og beboere eller bare holde for os selv. Hvad en glæde at kunne gå ud af vores screenet-in veranda og hoppe i havet på ethvert tidspunkt af dagen eller om natten for en svømmetur, snorkle, eller flyde. Vores børn elsker det her, også. De kan lide at gå frem og tilbage fra havet til puljen til stranden og til lejligheden (normalt for fødevarer). De kan forsvinde i timevis, og vi har ingen bekymringer overhovedet om dem. Hvad en glæde at se dem vågne om morgenen med planer om at tilbringe hele dagen ude at bruge deres fantasi, jagt efter Sea Glass, sportslige med leguaner, og lege med andre børn i byen, hvilket gør livslang venner. De værdsætter også sjælen ekspanderende, opadgående udseende udsigter.

Nogle gange kommer en flok geiter til at skelne gennem Sand Dollar, og vi hjælper med at skyde dem væk, før de nipper væk ved de mange ejere (som os), der stoler på deres haver; og nogle gange vil et par vilde æsler vandre gennem deres egen version af paradiset.

Så ja, lejligheden har de faciliteter, du bliver nødt til at nyde dit ophold komfortabelt og rigeligt, men den virkelige grund til at være her er den direkte og bred adgang det giver til havet, gennem øjne, ører, og berøring. De siger, at du bør forsøge ikke at røre ved havets levende, men efter et stykke tid vil solen og saltet og brisen og støvet, der blæser over fra Sahara, berøre alle dine sanser, og du vil gennemgå en »havforandring«, som Shakespeare kalder det , til noget rigere og bedre end før. Men det tager normalt mere end en uge til at ske. Det skete for os, da vi boede her i et år. Så kom og bo så længe du kan. Og komme tilbage år efter år, som nogle af vores gæster gør. Vi vil gøre vores bedste for at gøre dette muligt for dig. Vi tilbyder stigende rabatter på længere ophold, og vi er villige til at forhandle disse rabatter yderligere. For vores mål som ejere er at dække vores udgifter og investere i lejligheden ved at foretage forbedringer, så din næste ophold her, vil være endnu bedre. Så fortæl os, hvad du synes ville gøre dette Condo og det liv, det giver nærme sig perfektion, at naturen rummer ud som model.

Og lad mig ikke glemme at nævne, hvor meget vi kan lide at leve i vores badning dragter eller et par shorts og uden sko meget af tiden, som vi flytte ind og ud af vores lejlighed. Og ingen armbåndsur enten for der er to gange på Bonaire, dag og nat, og to steder, hav og jord. Livet er simpelt her, men elementær og tæt og reel. Det er ikke til misbrugere af de menneskeskabte, men for dem, der har psalmistens sjæl og accepterer fritidssamtalen med glæde i sine mange gode anvendelser.

I have been traveling to Bonaire for over 20 years and have even been recognized by the Bonaire Board of Tourism as an “Ambassador”. I have stayed in many different places all around the island, and have rented at Sand Dollar at least 10 times. This unit is absolutely among the very best at Sand Dollar! The location is great, the unit is updated, clean, and very well stocked. There is more than ample room to store and dry your gear on the screened in/lockable patio. The owners and the property manager were reachable and quick to respond when we needed assistance- much appreciated! The pool at Sand Dollar is somewhat dated. The pool area is tired and could use some renovation. That said, many rentals in Bonaire in this price range have no pool at all. We had an outstanding trip and hope to rent this unit again in 2026!

Thank you

Thank you for such a pleasant 2 weeks. The unit was just as described. Our group has been staying at the Sand Dollar for years so we knew what to expect for the most part. This was the first time we booked a unit through VRBO. The condo is tastefully decorated and you can’t beat the location. Everything about it was just about perfect. Communication leading up to trip couldn’t have been better from the owners and the property manager. Leanne even reached out to me to compliment me on some photos I had posted. You will not find a nicer, or cleaner unit to stay at. Thank you for everything. Our larger group will be back in a few months. After that we would love to stay in your unit again. It was just that great! 5 stars!

Perfect Homebase & House Reef

This condo is perfectly situated for ALL of the things we wanted to do on Bonaire!!! We hit about a dozen snorkel sites on the island and when it was all said & done, none of the reefs were better than Bari Reef right outside the back door. I even liked their house reef better than the drift snorkel we did on Klein Bonaire. The pictures and videos I was able to take here came out great. We were always the only people on the small beach in front of the condominiums. There was never a lack of good food options nearby, but my favorite food ended up being the low cost meat pies at one of the grocery stores! In the condo, we only needed one bedroom, but the bed was very comfortable. There were fans to keep us cool and give me a bit of the white noise I need to sleep. We didn't use the TVs while we were there because who needs TV when you're in paradise!? The kitchen had everything we needed to prep a couple meals a day at home and to help keep the road cooler filled with snacks for our adventures. The open concept between the kitchen, dining and living room is perfect. The front office always had plenty of clean beach towels so we didn't track around sand. But as nice as the accommodations were, the best part was the amazing location. I would highly recommend this condo and the Sand Dollar Condominiums to anyone looking for some snorkel and dive adventure. Thank you for allowing us to share your piece of heaven right here on Earth.

Amazing location, excellent for snorkeling

The pictures and reviews don't do this place justice. The location is stunning, and there is a small beach on the property and a short swim takes you to a small reef (Bari) which has a great assortment of fish and coral. It is easy swim with very little current, you don't need fins- go barefooted since you are less likely to brush against the coral! There is a dive shop right next door. Very nice condo with everything you need for a perfect vacation. The front staff are so sweet and accommodating! I would return if I go back.

Beautiful B-7 on Bonaire

This condo is beautifully renovated with stainless appliances and it is well furnished. There is excellent WiFi, a big screen TV, CD player and loads of games and books. It was immaculately clean when we arrived. However, due to construction in the neighborhood and our need to keep the windows open and get the ocean breeze, it was hard for the cleaning ladies to keep up with the dust. The views from B-7 and the sunsets were fabulous. I highly recommend this listing and am already making plans to return.

Outstanding Location, Right on the Water!

The property was exactly as advertised by the owner. Clean, well furnished and very helpful on-site property managers. The location couldn't be beaten. Far enough out of town to avoid the craziness on cruise ship days, but only a 5-10 minute drive to great restaurants and bars. A small and beautiful beach, a great dive operation (Dive Friends) next door, and being situated right on top of one of the island's best dive and snorkel sites (the Aquarium and Bari Reef) made this location even better. The only minor complaint is that the complex's pool is pretty plain and isn't heated.

Divers' delight

Our family of three divers had a great week in this condo - it's located just steps from fantastic diving at Bari Reef (best house reef on the island!) and is also near the on-site dive shop (Dive Friends) and property office (for swapping out beach towels, picking up cell phone loaner, etc.). The unit is clean, comfortable and comes with a well-equipped kitchen. As a family, we appreciated the food storage containers and coolers as well as electric kettle (!) and blender. The wifi and A/C are also excellent, though we rarely used the A/C since we enjoyed the sea breezes blowing through the condo. We spent most of our time on the screened porch - we loved being able to watch the birds feeding from the flowering pots in the morning and the setting sun in the evening. There are also drying pegs if you want to hang your gear or you can make use of Dive Friends' gear room, which is accessible 24/7 and just steps away. You'll also have access to wheelbarrows if you want to move gear from the dive shop or pier to/from your condo/truck. Dive Friends has several locations around the island, which makes diving northern and southern sites in a single day a snap - no need to drive back to one location to replace tanks. Also, parking is just outside your condo so there's no need to schlep equipment across the property. Louis and Eileen are wonderful communicators - they were responsive when we had questions about scheduling our visit as well as when we needed a minor repair during our stay. We highly recommend their condo and look forward to our return! Notes: housekeeping comes twice/week; there are two outdoor charcoal grills available for Sand Dollar guests at the pier

Great stay at Sand Dollar B7!

Three of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the condo. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were much appreciated. We spent nearly all of our time on the screened porch. There was plenty of space and hooks for drying wetsuits and other gear. The ground floor offered great access to the water, and the way the condos are oriented meant that it felt very private. One evening we walked across the street to the open-air Empire Cinema (where you can also order dinner if you call ahead) to see a movie. Other nearby casual places that we enjoyed walking to were Yhanni's Arepa shack and the Doner (Turkish) restaurant. Dive Friends is on the property for gear and tank rentals, and you can use the pier for water access. I would definitely stay here again!

Om værten

Vært: Eileen McFarren and Louis Petrich

Værtens profilbillede
Louis and I are teachers. Louis teaches the liberal arts at St. John's College in Annapolis (the quintessential great books school) and I teach Latin. We have also spent many years teaching outside the US, first with the Peace Corps in Czechoslovakia (Brno), and then Slovakia (Presov), Romania (Iasi), Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek), and Iraq (Kurdistan)! Yes, the kids went with us and attended local schools. We have settled down in Maryland, outside Annapolis. The four of us now live the typical fast-paced life of a suburban family, but every seventh year we take our sabbatical on Bonaire, where we live out the meaning of that word: rejuvenating ourselves while reveling in nature's riches. We have lived and worked in much of the world over the years, and have seen many wonderful and beautiful things, but Bonaire is the place we chose to make our second home, and Sand Dollar is that home. Our life on Bonaire at Sand Dollar offers a pretty good approximation of what philosophers call 'the good life.' We invite you to find this out for yourselves. It is real. It is not a dream. Every summer we escape to this diving paradise. Bonaire is our favorite spot in the world because of the never-failing, beautiful weather and 24/7 shore diving up and down the coasts--the freest and easiest diving in the world and possessing the greatest variety of Caribbean species according to REEF surveys. We also love being a part of a community of divers who believe in protecting and preserving the reef. We participate in clean-up dives, lionfish hunting, fish surveys with REEF, and water clarity studies. My daughter is committed to protecting all lizards, iguanas, parrots, donkeys, and goats that roam freely on the island. My son is falling in love with wind surfing, and kite boarding will come next. We hope you stay with us and fall in love with Bonaire's nature and its way of life.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

Louis and I were fortunate to spend a full sabbatical year on Bonaire in 2009 (and again in 2016). We became residents, and while the children went to a local Dutch school, we dived every site on the island multiple times and made life-long friends. We had thought that a year might be too long for such a small, simple, and quiet island, but when the year ended, we knew we were in love with this unique little place. The diving really is that good, and not only the diving. We started looking at properties on our next dive trip with a very patient realtor, but in the end we bought at Sand Dollar, where we first fell in love with the Bonaire way of life. Why? Sand Dollar is in the perfect location, and it offers spacious living, not only because of the generous size of its rooms, but also because the outside is a fluid extension of the inside. Such is the genius of its design, its unique and spell-binding orientation towards the sea. The view of the sea and sky is breath-taking, and the breeze from east to west is constant. It flows right through the condo. The on-site amenities (pool, tennis, beach) and on-site dive shop (Dive Friends) sealed the deal. We made the right decision. You will think so, too, when you come here.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

Drive up to your front door and walk right into your home-away-from-home in this rightly-named 'Divers Paradise.' Drop your bags and keep walking through the living and dining rooms, out the sliding glass door, to your screened-in porch that opens onto the Sand Dollar gardens. The beach and the dock are only steps away. When you aren't diving, you can relax in your comfortable, family-friendly condo, equipped with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, an assortment of games, puzzles and books, a fully functional, newly renovated kitchen, newly renovated baths, newly furnished bedrooms, new flooring throughout, new closets, and all you need to make yourself at home. The pool and lighted tennis courts are on site and ready for you when you aren't diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, kiteboarding, hiking, kayaking, birdwatching, caving, or biking. You will be glad to tuck into the king-sized bed in the master bedroom and ready to do it all again the next day, when the birds wake you to song and the gentle waves beckon you to the blue! If you dive with Dive Friends, you can take advantage of their five locations for tank drop-offs and pick-ups and rinsing. And ask us how to arrange a guided dive on the east side of the island, where you will see eagle rays and large sea turtles and green morays and schools of large snappers and grunts in all directions!
