Only complaint is the grill is basically non-working. We tried three times to use and ALL three times we ended up using the oven. With it being Spring Break and restaurants so busy we had decided to grill out a lot. We tried, but the grill is old, greasy, smelly and just does not work. More beach towel would have been nice too. ##### Kelly N.

This was the absolutely perfect place for our family of 4 to stay on our first trip to AMI. It was spotless upon arrival and Carolyn was wonderful to work with. She was quick to respond and so helpful with any question I had. It was nicely updated with high end furnishings. It included everything we needed, including beach towels and a closet full of beach accessories. The full size washer and dryer was so nice and the pantry was so big and a wonderful bonus! The house had plenty of storage for everything we brought. The pool and lanai area was absolutely amazing and beautifully decorated and landscaped. It was our favorite part! The location of the house was perfect. It was a nice quiet street in a very nice neighborhood. You did not have to cross any of the busy streets to get to the beach. The beach access was directly at the end of the street, not even 2 blocks away. It was close enough to the main part of town that you could get to Pine street or Manatee Beach in just a couple minutes via golf cart. It was close enough to everything, but just far enough to not be too busy. It was very private and did not seem like a duplex at all. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone and we would definitely stay again. ##### Laura H.

Loved the pool area with shade, barbecue, and dinning table. I second the other reviewers about the good condition of this property. ##### Joel R.

The reviews of the property are exactly correct. Clean and tidy, well decorated, newly renovated. Proximity to the beach is amazing and absolutely a highlight of the property. We loved the pool and shaded dining area. Our 7 year old swam every day! The property owner/manager is attentive and responsive helping with a minor dishwasher issue we experienced almost immediately. We will absolutely be back and will stay at this same property again. Stop looking, you’ve found the best. ##### Heather P.

The home was everything we had hoped it would be. Everything was extremely clean. The location couldn’t have been better. We are already hoping to book again for next year! ##### Robert H.

The kitchen and bathrooms were updated with luxurious finishes. The private pool on the property was a definite plus and our 3 yr old granddaughter preferred it over the beach. The owner was very responsive to all our needs. Oh yes and the beach was a 2 min walk. Would definitely rent again. ##### Diane R.

We stayed at the Sand Dollar Cottage for a month in Feb/Mar 2022 and were delighted with this property. It was spotlessly clean upon arrival and beautifully decorated. The backyard pool and surroundings are a little bit of paradise! It is a very short walk to the beach and one block from the free trollley stop. The beds were very comfortable and having two bathrooms is a great plus. The kitchen has beautiful stainless steel appliances with an ice maker and plenty of cooking supplies. Carolyn is a delight to communicate with and makes sure her guests are comfortable with everything. I would not hesitate to recommend this property! ##### Pat S.

The house is in a great quiet neighborhood, and very close to the beach! Nice pool, well appointed kitchen, and the beds were very comfy! I would definitely consider staying here again! ##### Debbie C.

We loved this property - it's updated, spotlessly clean, and the best location on the island. One block to the beach and walking distance to restaurants, shops, groceries, etc. The space is perfect for a couple or small family. The pool is a gem. The owner is so personable and responsive, and supplies great beach gear. While the condo shares a wall with another, we didn't hear a peep and the neighborhood is also very quiet. The weather can be cool and windy in early February, but the clear sunny days can't be beat! ##### Sue S.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sand Dollar Cottage. Property was as described, clean and well equipped for our visit (even had a pack and play and blender for smoothies). Our little one LOVED the pool, the covered shallow portion was perfect for her to splash and play in. It's just minutes from the beach and the wagon/chair/toys were so convenient. We enjoyed riding the trolley (stop just 1 block away) and rented bikes to ride around the north side of the island. ##### Kerry F.
