Island Sand Dollar is a cozy family beach house. Great access to the beach, which had a gentle drop off. The kitchen was exceptionally well set up. We cooked several meals there and had everything we needed.

We loved the house! Great location, well stocked kitchen, very clean and comfortable. There was a veach wagon, chairs, beach toys and beach towels available for us to use. The beach access was just across the road and took only 2 or 3 minutes to get from our door out the the beach! We will definitely stay again!

Great place to stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was comfortable, updated and well provisioned with almost everything we needed. Some improvements that are needed: 1. Stairs need lighting. Very dark going down them during night. 2. The path directly across from property was nearly impassable and grown over. 3. Both can openers - electric and hand type were useless need replaced. There was not an extra toilet paper roll on the shared bathroom. Small things, but worth a mention for corrective action. Thanks Island San Dollar, we would definitely rent again!

The Island Sand Dollar was perfect for our stay in February. The proximity to the beach is only a few steps across the street. We did contact management one time and they quickly & efficiently supplied what we were missing.

Great Beach Cottage

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Island Sand Dollar. It was very comfortable and well-appointed for our party of 4. The location is fantastic, just a quick walk to the beach. Communication was also very good. We look forward to another visit. Thank you for sharing this cute cottage.

Amazing location steps to the beach

The location of this property was just amazing! Steps from the beach and ocean views when you wake up! The property was clean and was well stocked for a VRBO. I would stay here again and I would also recommend to others. There are steps, so if you're not able to use steps this could be a difficult property.

Very clean and nicely decorated. We had everything we needed except a garbage disposal. Loved the sitting area and hammock under the house. Short easy walk to the beach. Thank you!

Jennifer, thanks for the kind words. Garbage disposal isn't a good idea with the septic systems required on the island, but I do understand your missing it. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again. Don

Perfect size, perfect location, great value

My family of 5 includes three young children. The house was perfect for our family size, and we loved the easy beach access! The kitchen was great, the beds and furniture were comfortable, and the hammock below the house was a huge hit. It felt so homey that my kids didn't want to leave! We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great house at a great value on St. George Island.

The property was perfect for my husband and I and 1 another couple. This was the 2nd time that we have stayed at the Island Sand Dollar and was just as impressive as it was 4 years ago. The kitchen was supplied with everything that we needed to cook dinner with. The house was perfect and spotless and we will be staying again. Thank you for listing it and allowing us to stay there. BTW I replaced the batteries in the bedroom & my husband repaired the handle on the toilet. TY again!

It's a smaller house with a bright, cheery and homey feel with everything we needed. Access to the beach is right across the drive.

Perfect property for our family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Island Sand Dollar was the cutest home for me and my family. The living room area was very spacious, the kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking utensils one would need, and the beach decor and furnishings had all the beach feels that we were hoping for. The home is located just across the street from the beach via a sandy path that felt like our own the entire stay. The outside seating on the deck and under the house made perfect little spots to unwind and relax after a long day at the beach. We would definitely stay at the Island Sand Dollar again.
