My husband, 2 kids, and I stayed here the 2nd week of August. Honestly, when I first booked the room, I was a little nervous because it was privately owned. Sometimes you never know if you are going to get a run, down, shabby place with rats and roaches. The Sand Dollar was very nice though. Of course, it is not the Sheraton, but they don't charge like the Sheraton either. It is, however, VERY clean and VERY affordable. The owners are extremely nice!!!! We rented a 2 bedroom apartment and it had more than enough room for the 4 of us. For all of you tall guys out there, their shower comfortably fits a 6 ft. tall guy. I know this is a plus since some places have showers built for kids only. I will be bringing my parents back here next year when I visit again. Thanks for a relaxing week. We love Atlantic Beach! I hope you all weathered the storm well. I do have 2 recommendations though. The first would be to get a new bed in the front room of Room 5, I think it was. It was quite uncomfortable. I didn't sleep well at all on it. I woke up every morning sore as I could be. It was a little too hard for me, but that could just be a personal preference. The second recommendation would be to put a shelf or small stand in the bathroom for women to place their beauty products and hairdryers on. It wouldn't have to be anything expensive either. I found it to be a little hard getting ready sometimes because I didn't have anywhere to put my stuff other than the sink. Other than that, everything was wonderful!!!!!!! Thanks again!!!

Thanks so much for the nice review and your recommendation.
Sorry that you were uncomfortable with the bed. We just had new mattresses made for the motel last year. I do know everyone has their preference and it is hard to please everyone, as you know so people like firm and some soft. i will check that one out though. As for the shelf we have been working on trying to find some that will work in the bathrooms.
We hope to have that done soon.
Again thanks for staying with us and we look forward to seeing you next year with your parents.
