Great beach house
The house was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. We enjoyed the salt water pool a lot and the outside grill. Easy access to the beach, about a 5 minute walk. Communication was excellent with management and would highly recommend this rental!

Problems solved
We had a few bumps along the way with some issues at the house after arriving, but Ronnie and her office were very responsive and quick to get the issues resolved. The house was perfect for our needs and close to the wedding venue and our daughter (the bride) and her friends. We didn't have an opportunity to go to the ocean, but there was easy, close access.

Decently stocked but not very clean. Feet were black within 10 minutes of walking in house. Definitely needs TLC. Doors and walls marked up. Patches made in walls but not sanded down and painted. Very worn stairs and sticking doors. All the outdoor furniture was torn and worn. Nice location, got an early check in. As someone has stayed in the outer banks since a child this house was overpriced.

Sand Dollar is Great
What a great cottage with all the trimmings. Kitchen is extremely well equipped with sharp knives and even cast iron frying pans! Beds are huge and very comfy with lots of pillows. And a GREAT location - easy 5 min. stroll to the wide beach. The area is also in a perfect less-busy location and in walking distance of the BEST restaurant on the island - Sam & Omies!

Squeaky floorboards and Self-clean...
The location of the property was in a quiet part of town so that was a plus for us, considering that we were there to sight see. The property is also located close to the major attractions. On a negative note, if one person is in the kitchen/dining room/lounge area upstairs, and people are trying to sleep downstairs, the floorboards squeak with every step which is most annoying. The private access point to the beach is not clearly marked so that means we had to use the public access which was an inconvenience considering we had to cart a lot of items. Next time, I would book into a hotel because according to the checkout reminders, we had to sweep and wash dishes and clean-up, which is like being at home. We paid additional for cleanup and house cleaning, so why must I clean up myself.

Great location, pool, accomodations
We loved the location and the house had plenty of room for six adults, one child, two babies and a dog. We loved the convenience of the close beach access and on site pool. Unfortunately the house does need a few repairs from leaks in the past and there was a ceiling leak while we were there related to a rusted out air conditioner drip pan. The rental company did fix it right away and gave us some money back on our rental for the loss of sleep related to not being able to use that room for a night. Overall we had a good time and would recommend.

Great location, fully stocked kitchen with everything you’ll need and the pool was an added bonus. Mother Nature has taken over the private boardwalk and we had to use the public beach access. It has become one with the dune. Thankfully it wasn’t far but would have been easier with our little ones if it was usable.

July 2021
Our family has always stayed on Hatteras Island and this was the first stay on the "mainland". We were used to more modern, updated homes with adequate bathrooms (one for each bedroom), and amenities such as game room and hot tube for far less money than what we paid for the Sand Dollar. While the pool, beach access, and fully stocked kitchen were great, 2 bathrooms were not enough for the 4 bedrooms in the home. We had 9 persons staying (it accommodates 12) and waiting for an available bathroom was frustrating. Also comfortable living room furniture only sat 5 (not including the bean bag chair). So when we were all together, several had to sit on the dining room chairs. Most of the time, they just went outside and sat on the deck. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The convenience of being nearer shopping/grocery facilities was also appreciated. Overall, we did enjoy our time and was thankful to have found a place to stay in the high demand for vacation homes!

First time to Nags Head; enjoy the location along with the private access to the beach. The access allows for limited number of crowds onto the beach; enjoy ocean breeze from the front deck regardless the time of the day.

About the host

Hosted by Ronni Moldovan

Host profile image
Our Founder, Dr. Sarah Forbes passed away in 2011. She was a compassionate physician, dedicated to her patients becoming Norfolk General’s first female chief resident of OB/GYN.
In 1958, she became the first female physician to open a private OB/GYN practice in Newport News, VA.
Dr. Forbes was the first woman to be selected to the board, and the first female president, of the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula, where she was honored as a member of the “Wall of Fame” – the first and only woman to be so honored in the club’s 65-year history.

Sarah was often honored for her contributions to the organizations she served, and the community she loved.
Among her many awards were the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities’ Humanitarian Award in 2007, and the Medallion Award which is the highest recognition presented by The Boys and Girls Club of America to volunteers.

She served as president of several community organizations that include the Virginia Peninsula Academy of Medicine, the Newport News Chapter of the American Cancer Society, the Newport News Medical Society, and the Peninsula Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Her generosity benefited many organizations, including the Cancer Society, the Newport News Medical Society, the Peninsula Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Family Planning Council, First Baptist Church of Newport News, the Peninsula SPCA, Mariners’ Museum, Riverside Hospital, and Christopher Newport University.

We are continuing Dr. Forbes’ Legacy
All of our vacation homes are owned by Sarah E. Forbes MD, Trust which continues her legacy by using our profits to make regular donations to the charities she loved.
We take care of the houses like she would have wanted.
