Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Carol W. 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Pretty view of the bay Great for the price. View of the bay was beautiful. Nice clean apartment. There are no laundry facilities on site. Closest one was beach laundry. There are stairs to climb and we did not see any elevators so take that into account if needed. It’s an easy walk to the beach across the street. There is a beach access down just a little ways but not directly across from the unit. We had a nice stay. ##### Carol W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donnie A. 1 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach across the street We’ve stayed here several times and it’s perfect for us. Because we’ve been here before I did not read that this unit W209 does not have a washer and dryer. My fault. We just hung our towels and suits to dry. We will definitely stay at Sand Dollar again. We love it here. ##### Donnie A. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanna K. 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean, nice decor in an expedient location Really clean, well appointed condo generally. The location is perfect for the beach, walks to town and walks to Peg Leg Pete‘s. Very quiet building off Ft Picken‘s Road- cannot hear road traffic. Our balcony had a nice view of the sound of Santa Rosa. Be aware that, although the listing claims a dryer , there is no dryer.. or washing machine. The laundromat down the road is available but parking is tight. (And who wants to be in a laundromat on vacation?) The promised in person meeting upon our arrival did not happen., but we managed fine. ##### Joanna K.
