“Family Reunion”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

Our family has spent a week in June at the Sand Dollar for the last eight years. We cannot say enough good things about the facility and the staff. My entire family travels from hundreds of miles to attend this family reunion and they would not want to stay any place but the Sand Dollar.

We usually rent two condos to accommodate our numbers. We always stay in 208 which is a beautifully decorated condo with a well equipped kitchen and spotless bathrooms. The pool is clean and carefully maintained and the staff is always helpful and knowlegable about the area.

If your looking for the perfect spot for a beach vacation, we highly recommend the Sand Dollar.

“Great place, we'll be back!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

Our first impression when we opened the door was "it's so clean". Aside from that, being right on the beach, having a large pool, plentiful parking and the convenient location made this a perfect place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We plan to stay there again.

“very relaxing!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

we stayed in room 303 and loved it! very homey feel and very clean! the staff was super nice and the beach was outstanding. you could literally leave your belongings on the sand for the day and no one would bother a thing. the only suggestion i would make is about the pool... there was no supervision and when it got to the weekend some visitors were swimming with alcohol and cigarettes in the pool as well as playing inappropriate music on a loud stereo. it was not a family environment. when it was reported to the staff nothing was done. other than that problem we had a blast! plan on coming again and hope my concern is resolved before then!

“Sand Dollar Property #240807 Unit # 401 Dirty Condo, Not maintaned, Poor Customer Service, Would not recommend”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed at this condo the weeks of June 11th to 22nd 2011. When we arrived at the condo the floors were filthy, Stained Couch, Plumbing problems, Load of towels left in dryer for us to fold and put away. Non-working dishwasher that was suppose to be fixed on Tuesday (didn’t happen) Received 2 sets of keys only One set worked was told that we would have another set fed-ex overnight (didn’t happen). It took 3 times of mopping to get all the ground in dirt cleaned from the floor.There was a lot of dust and dirt underneath the beds along with baby bottle with molded formula, pair of dirty underwear under one bed . There were 2 picture hangers in the living room with no pictures. The florescent light cover was missing in the bathroom. There were dried egg on several pieces of silverware and spatula. Concrete was chipping away and was painted over.

We contacted Libby about this and all we got was not promises to take were delivered.care of it and they
The only good thing about this condo was it had a good intercostals and beach view. So the amentias that you pay for you don’t have.

Wow, I hate to read stuff like this - almost as much as you hated experiencing it.
I just wanted to clarify for people reading your post that the condo you rented from an individual owner is NOT on our JC rental program. Unfortunately, owners who are not on site often have issues like this as they are not able to properly supervise the work in their condo. For condos on our JC rental program, we have housekeepers and maintenance people right on site and customer service and keys right in the lobby. We are constantly in the condos to assure our guests of consistent and above standard quality as you can see from the other reviews of the condos that are on my program. I wish you well and hope you have better experiences in the future!

“We keep going back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2010

people found this review helpful

My family and I have been going to the Sand Dollar since 1989. We have a different group every year. Our kids are now teenagers and still love this place. We get our group together for volleyball, baseball, Kan Jam or just hanging around the pool. The condos vary but we have never been disappointed. Most of them look out onto the Gulf of Mexico. There is a discount for the ones that don't. They are very large and the kitchens are fully equipped. Most of the condos that we have stayed in also come equipped with a washer and dryer. There is a large grassy area with BBQ stands. We love the fact that we don't have to rely on going out to restaurants every night. There are many choices of restaurants right on Gulf Blvd and we usually stick to a few favorites for lunch. The private fishing pier is an added bonus for us novices. Definitely a great spot for familes!
