We booked this home as a last minute get away, and it was lovely. The house was beautiful, nearby to the beach, quiet, & clean. We had plenty of space and loved the large yard & deck. The garage was stocked with kites, chairs, & other fun things that made our trip even more magical. It was a bit pricey for only 2 nights, but otherwise - highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay at this beach house! It was honestly one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever experienced, which made such a great first impression. The home itself is very spacious and comfortable, and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed—cooking was so easy.The host was fantastic with communication from start to finish, which made the whole process stress-free. Check-out was also refreshingly simple—no long list of chores, which we really appreciated.The view was truly the highlight. Being able to see the ocean right from the windows was incredible, and having coffee on the deck while watching ships go by was one of our favorite parts of the trip.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway!

Best Stay Ever!!!

The Sand Dollar is the perfect place to stay. It was only my wife and I - however its big enough for a group of 8. The 2 of us enjoyed the perfect getaway in this beautiful home. As we spent time indoors we constantly found ourselves mentioning how perfect everything was and spotless clean. We are not indoor pet people - allergies - and usually do not book rooms that allow pets. Neither of us ever had a single issue at this location. WELL DONE!!! Bolivar Vacations has a new fan.
