Great Vacation Location!
We enjoyed a great 7 days at the sand dollar! The house was as described and had something for everyone in our party from a quiet reading nook on the front screen porch to a relaxing pool/backyard area. Bonus it’s a quick 2 block walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great place that needs some TLC
Overall this is a great house for a family of 6. The location is perfect with a short walk to the beach and walking distance to Pine Ave. The screened in porch was fabulous for soaking in the morning sun while enjoying coffee and a book. The house was clean. There were several items that didn’t work well or at all; The garage door didn’t open. The elevator quit on the first day we were there with our luggage in the elevator. An elevator wasn’t a necessity. However, we thought it was nice to take luggage up to the third floor until our luggage got stuck in there for a few hours before maintenance came to get the door open. They were unable to fix it. The washer quit working with a load of laundry in it. The dryer takes two 70 minute cycles on high heat to dry clothes. The dishwasher doesn’t work the best. Make sure you scrub all dishes before putting dishes into it to wash. The water dispenser on the fridge quits working periodically. The oven takes double the normal time to bake. The pool pump quit working the 2nd day there. However there was a bad storm the night before that may have knocked it out. The hot tub is not a hot tub. It’s part of the pool and is the same temp as the pool. We were bummed about that. Regardless of all the items that need fixed, we enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed our stay
We stayed here for a week with 4 adults and 2 kids. Pros: good location with easy walk to the beach, we loved that the pool was clean and warm, and the house was spacious for our group. The grill ran out of propane and was refilled the following day which was nice. Cons: beach umbrella could not withstand the wind and some chairs were not in great shape. There were minimal beach toys so we had to go out and buy a bunch to keep the kids entertained. The dishwasher left dirty water behind so we hand washed most dishes. Upstairs tv did not connect - we did not ask for this to be repaired but I think they would do this if requested. Overall we enjoyed our stay with some minor inconveniences
