Wonderful Time!

This was our 2nd year staying at Sand Dollar and it was a wonderful time. This year we stayed in 407 and everything was great. It was clean, spacious, beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. Ed was great to work with as was Holly at the front desk. Would definitely stay here again!

This was our second time staying here. Just like last time, it was great. Though the weather didn't totally cooperate. overall a good stay. The owner Ed, touched base with us, during the week. the check in process and communication with the front desk was excellent. On our last night we took a sunset sailboat cruise in to the gulf. . It was magnificent out there. Once again Ed thank you for sharing your condo.

Vacation week

This was our first time visiting Indian Shores. We had a wonderful time staying at the Sand Dollar Resort. With the pool, hot tub and beach steps away, plus restaurants, grocery shopping near by there was no need to travel far. It was just what we wanted a fun and relaxing time!

Very clean and great location!

My family was very impressed with the condo. The condo itself was spotless with fantastic amenities, including cookware and utensils, beach chairs, beach towels and a huge selection of books. The grounds were well kept as well. We enjoyed the heated pool and large hot tub as we were there during cooler weather.

We really enjoyed this condo. Our fist time at Sand Dollar but not new to vacationing in the area. Great location and the property was as described. The only complaint about the property was as others have described ~ only one elevator for all units.

Such a beautiful condo with amazing views. We saw dolphins every morning! We enjoyed the clean, uncrowded beach daily and the heated pool and hot tub in the evenings. Great location --close to restaurants and grocery stores and a short drive to John's pass. Communication with Ed was great, he is so helpful! Would recommend staying here to anyone!!

About the host

Hosted by Ed Bates

Host profile image
Engineering geologist. Retired after 35 years of service with the US Environmental Protection Agency where I specialized in clean-up of hazardous waste sites. Veteran, Army Corps of Engineers. President Sand Dollar Condominium Association. Reside in Cincinnati, Ohio along with 4 rescue dogs.

Why they chose this property

I have travelled to many areas in Florida. This part of Florida between Clearwater Beach and St Petersburg Beach is the most beautiful and relaxing part of Florida, yet convenient to many facilities and attractions. The 15 miles of wide white sand beaches are fantastic and are suitable for swiming, walking, running, and even bicycles as the sand is firm near the tide line yet fluffy back from the tide.

What makes this property unique

Great breakfasts and sunsets on the balcony overlooking the beach and Gulf,great tropical garden on the beach with palms, tiki huts, hot tub, and pool all beachside. Great restraunts in the area and a family oriented condo atmosphere. Be sure to visit some of the great Florida State Parks in the area including Honeymoon Island, Caladesi Island, Myakka River and Egmont Key, featuring trails,boat rides, kayaks,bird watching, and even alligators.
