Rich and Lauren were the best host. The Sand Dollar west was the perfect spot for us and our little Dachshund, it was just a 2 minute walk to the beach.

Great place. Super location.

This place deserves five stars but I only can give four due to the $500 deposit they require. They ran the $500 my credit card and I had to ask several days later I left for them to return it. Which they did…But I could’ve overlooked it very easily. I’m wary of properties that require large deposits. Overall the place is awesome. Clean and in a very good location, close to the beach I wish I could give it five stars but deposit is prohibitive.
