My favorite stay!

This was my favorite VRBO stay to date! The house itself is exactly as pictured and very comfortable for a group of 3 couples. One of the highlights of our trip was spending time in the backyard and riding our bikes into town. The hosts, Tamara and Bill are very friendly and gave great restaurant and activity recommendations for during our stay. The Sand Dollar exceeded our expectations and I can’t wait to visit again! Thank you Tamara & Bill!

Sanddollar feels like home

We have spent much of 2023/24 winter season in this cheerful, comfortable, well equipped home. Minutes from golf, groceries and great restaurants it is nonetheless quiet except for the occasional rooster crowing. The island has much to offer, nothing is very far, and Sanddollar has been a wonderful jumping off spot. Bill and Tamara are excellent hosts…nearby if needed without compromising privacy in any way. We have loved it here.

What an amazing week!

I can not say enough good things about this property and the owners. If I’m being honest I was a little concerned about the owners being right now. Not that we are a rowdy bunch but there is something nice about having your own space and privacy. I can honestly say this was perfect! They are next door if you need them, but if not it’s completely private. We never even saw them only their sweet pups that would sometimes peel their head in the fence boards. :) this property was so cozy and had everything we could have needed. From the welcome gifts to the included shampoo and conditioner so many small details that made you feel special. We can’t wait to come for another visit! Book it! You will be glad you did!

Wonderful property and Hospitality

Thank you Bill & Tamara, For allowing us to stay at your wonderful property, we throughly enjoyed ourself and it was a god send that everything was on single level as our little frenchie hirl had hurt her self only a week before our stay, on medicines and was worried whether we would be able to make it. The location helped hugely in her recovery and convelescence and it was very welcomed recover for us, just relaxing and going down to the ocean. The family and I thoroughly enjoy our wonderful stay and the hospitality especially the very welcoming gift basket for our puppies and ourselves. If we come back to St Simons we would definitely like to stay with you again. Warmest regards Marc and Tara

Quiet and relaxing

Well kept home and lovely yard. Bright cheery colors and very comfortable. Eclectic mix of songbirds! Centrally located and convenient to all St Simons has to offer. We go there primarily for bike riding so this central location is best. Kitchen has everything you need for a stay and restaurants are very close by or easy Uber ride. Our elderly dog was quite comfortable and enjoyed the large yard. Our host Bill was really friendly and responded immediately to our questions. In all the years we have been using Vrbo this is the first time the owner had the house cleaned while we were there. Bonus! We plan to stay again.
