About this property

Oceanfront 2 BR/2 Bath Renovated E-11 at Sand Dollar Resort on Bari Reef

You are going to love this fully renovated and upgraded 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, oceanfront condo, located on the best reef in Bonaire. It's so easy to go for a dive, snorkel, or swim at any time and you're always going to find something different on Bari reef. Push open the triple size sliding doors in the living room, to add the large, screened-in patio as a room to enjoy morning coffee, bird watching, or breath-taking sunsets. A modern kitchen with granite countertops, pull-out shelving, up-to-date appliances with oven, cooktop, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, and a programmable coffee maker. You'll find service for 12, and all of the kitchen gadgets, pots & pans, and accessories you could need if you like to cook or be the gathering point for a group vacation. You'll even find an easy-to-use ice-cream maker and recipe book to create some frozen treats to savor during the warm days. An Instant pot is available for quick meals if you decide to eat-in. Both the dining room table and the patio table can be expanded to sit 6 to 8 people comfortably, while the living room sectional couch can quickly be converted into a double bed or a way for everyone to enjoy the chaise. Our unit contains its own dedicated, private router, providing fast and reliable internet, WiFi, and cable. Bring your laptop or tablet to keep in touch with family & friends back home, check in with work, or review your dive photos. Air conditioners are available in both bedrooms and in the main living area. Please only use when in the room - central air is NOT common in Bonaire and electricity is super expensive. Two spacious bathrooms have walk-in, stone floor showers, with adjustable one-handle shower heads. The master bath has two sinks, while the guest bath has one sink. Plenty of lighting, storage, shelving, and towel holders ensure that you will be as comfortable as possible. Both bedrooms are fully air-conditioned, and you'll find comfortable Sealy Posturepedic mattresses to enjoy a good night's sleep. The master bedroom contains a king-size bed, while the other bedroom contains two XL twin beds that can be easily converted into one king-size bed. Please let us know if you prefer 2 twins or 1 king when you make your reservation. If you like to kick back and watch TV, you'll find a 47-inch LED HD television in the living room and a 40-inch LED HD television in the master bedroom. A large, digital safe can store cameras, laptops, or other electronics and valuables. Weekly housekeeping service is included, as are bed linens, hand towels, bath towels, beach towels, and free starter supplies including soaps, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, and dishwasher soap. Gear-hanging and drying pegs are located in the locked, screened-in patio, and our corner location makes an easy transfer of gear from your truck to the patio, or better yet, gear up and walk out front to be diving off the front yard. Bonaire Dive Friends is our on-site dive shop, that offers full, five star PADI services, and 24-hour access to our pier, nitrox and air tanks, rinse tanks, and gear storage. They offer five drive-up locations across the island, with tank exchange, boat dives, equipment rentals and repairs, courses, and other outdoor activities. Your scuba orientation and checkout dive are done on your schedule, whenever you're ready to start, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Restaurant, pool, two tennis courts with night lights, small sandy beach, oceanfront lounge chairs, and grill area are available for guests. Ample parking available directly in front of unit. You'll also find many good restaurants and bars within a 5-10 minute walk.

Great location, well-equipped, clean!

E-11 Sand Dollar was clean, spacious, and very well-stocked for anything we might have needed. Kitchen had more equipment than my kitchen at home! Screened in porch and drying rack was perfect for drying dive gear. Location was ideal for accessing dive sites, Dive Friends (Bari Reef right next door, but we really loved the staff at Hamlet Oasis and kept going back there), lots of restaurants. We also used the supermarket right nearby for a few quick things, which was convenient. Would absolutely stay here again!

Awesome unit!!

You can tell the owners have put a lot of thought and care into their unit. High end ...appliances, utensils and decor. Location is great.. Close to restaurants and bars. And talk about close ...the best diving-snorkeling right out the back door. But watch out for the donkeys that wander in occasionally. Loved everything about this location and Bonaire! We will be back....thanks Ann

Seriously, stay HERE!

E-11 was lovely! We had everything that we could have needed and more. We did have the living room aircon unlocked but found that most days, we didn't need it because this corner unit caught such wonderful breezes. We enjoyed all meals on the fully screened patio and appreciated not having to pack or purchase things like coolers. We even found E-11 to have things that we forgot, like mosquito repellent. The beds were comfy, wifi strong. Dive Friends is super convenient & it is great using the pier facilities at Bari Reef. A week just flew by, next time, we will stay for 2.

Comfortable unit, very convenient for divers

We had a great trip! The four of us are all scuba divers and we really appreciated how well set up the unit is for divers. Drying racks for gear on the huge enclosed patio, close parking and a good dive shop with a pier and rinse tanks right next door. The unit has a wonderful view of the ocean and Klein right across a well landscaped courtyard. The sea wall in front of the unit has built in benches, showers, and sturdy stairs with good hand rails for doing shore dives. The stairs are also well lighted, so we took advantage of this to do some excellent night dives on the reef right off shore. There are good restaurants within easy walking distance and a supermarket two minutes down the street. We have all been to Bonaire multiple times and this property is now our favorite choice.

Misleading Information

Start with the things we liked. (1) Location (2) Close to the ocean (3) Easy in/out for snorkelers with steps leading into the ocean (4) Shaded and open ocean front terrace (5) vary peaceful Things we did not like (1) couch was totally uncomfortable(2) King size bed was way to soft (3) Twin size beds were Ok but had sheets that did not fit and a total mess in the morning (4) No toaster-just a toaster oven which made dried out crumbly bread

You'll Want to Stay Here

This Sand Dollar condo exceeded our expectations! Four of us spent two weeks diving in Bonaire. As a diver, I don’t think you can find a better location. Centrally located between the northern and southern shore dive sites, walking distance to the dive shop, and easily accessible pier diving is located adjacent to one of the top reefs on all of Bonaire. Super convenient for night diving. Large open courtyard with expansive views of the sea. Sand Dollar residents, owners and guests alike, are very welcoming. We enjoyed gathering outside together at the sea wall for sunset. Not to be missed – twice caught sight of a green flash! The unit’s kitchen is fully equipped. We prepared and ate most of our morning and evening meals here. Plenty of supplies and large dining space to accommodate an additional four friends who joined us for dinner. After each day’s diving, we felt like we had returned home. All the living room, bedrooms, bathrooms and enclosed patio furnishings are clean, plentiful, comfortable, and in excellent condition. The hosts also provided for the small but important details such as the indispensable collapsible cooler bags. Each morning we loaded them up with everything we needed for that day’s diving and tossed them into the truck. On return, we laid out our dive gear on the drying rack and hung it on the wall pegs to dry. Their Bonaire Suggestions document is loaded with helpful information. The staff at Sand Dollar is friendly and met all our needs.

Lovely and Well Equipped

This condo was one of the best ever in terms of being so well equipped that we truly couldn't find anything missing. Besides the numerous kitchen items--dishes, flatware, tools and gadgets--the bedrooms had lots of space and more hangers than needed (a rarity in my experience). Lovely bathrooms and everything worked, very nice furnishings in the entire condo. My early questions were answered by the owner right away and the instructions she sent before the trip were very helpful and complete.

Fantastic Location and Condo

We loved this location and condo. The kitchen is the best equipped in Bonaire. Updated and close to restaurants, shops and diving. Sand Dollar and Dive Friends have a great operation here. New dock. If boat diving-be sure to ask for the “new large boat”. Highly recommend.

Perfect little Condo

The property was exactly as described and had every amenity we needed during our stay. The kitchen was VERY well stocked for cooking and coolers/grocery bags/sun screen was in the hall closet, along with a washer. I called Ann to ask her about things to do on the island and she spent 20 minutes with me. Great owner, great property and great staff. And Dive friends is just next store with a locked storage area for gear and locked dock for night dives. Look for the frog fish!

Awesome condo!

This was our first trip to Bonaire. Love the island and the condo! We will be back to visit and will stay at the condo again. It is modern, spacious and well furnished. It is the best furnished kitchen I have seen! Our family time sitting on the screened porch every morning was priceless. Having awesome snorkeling right at your backdoor is a big plus. We rented a car. We went to snorkeling sites, restaurants and shops in just a few minutes. Ann was a pleasure to deal with. She provided a really helpful document regarding the condo, restaurants and places to visit. Overall a wonderful experience!

Beautiful spot on Bonaire!

Bonaire is beautiful and the condo is in a great location. It was the perfect amount of space for two couples. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need for cooking, plenty of extra items in the closet for our use. We loved the screen porch overlooking the water for the sunsets. It was a short car ride to town and there were restaurants and some shopping within walking distance. It was our first visit to Bonaire and we will definitely go back.

Great looking location, snorkeling at your doorstep!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sand Dollar. The location was great for restaurants, snorkeling and relaxing with a drink at sunset. The condo met all of our needs except that there is no washer and dryer. We especially enjoyed eating meals on the screened porch. The best thing about our visit to Bonaire was a snorkeling trip to Klein Bonaire with Woodwind. A hundred times better than the the water taxi. The captain of the boat was extremely knowledgeable about the reef and all other marine life. She snorkeled with us and pointed out hidden things in the water that I would never have seen. I have snorkeled many times but this was just wonderful.

Fantastic Condo, upgraded on the perfect dive site Barri Reef

We have stayed here in E-11 before. Property is exactly as advertised and beautifully updated, the kitchen has everything you could ever dream of. The trade winds blow and keep it cool with the help of the extra window in the living area. This condo sits right on the most awesome dive site in Bonaire, Barri Reef. The dock is right at the end of this property and two additional dive ladders let you enter and exit also right on the reef. Maid service is twice a week and we love the ironed sheets they provide, all of our creature habits are met here. The dive shop is new but not new to the island. They provide tanks to dive at Barri and also drive up for shore diving around the island. Thanks to the owners of E-11 they have seen to all our needs.

Owner's thought of everything!

We really enjoyed our time at this Sand Dollar Condo. This is our 3rd stay at Sand Dollar and I must say that the owner's thought of everything to include in the condo. We were pleased to have a cooler to take on our journeys around the island and also several storage containers for leftovers which usually are hard to come by at any VRBO property. Great stay, would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Firestine

Host profile image
We are absolutely thrilled to be able to own a place at our favorite dive location in Bonaire, and look forward to sharing it with you. We currently live in Durham, NC but are originally from New Hampshire and New Jersey, and have lived throughout the U.S. We love traveling the world but found ourselves returning to Bonaire time after time to enjoy the amazing shore diving.

Why they chose this property

We've stayed at many places on Bonaire but absolutely loved this oceanfront location on Bari Reef. Put your toes in the sand at the small beach, watch the sunset or the parrots in the treetops, walk to any number of great restaurants, dive center on site, a swimming pool, tennis courts, or just enjoy the peace & quiet. We think it's the best location on island.

What makes this property unique

Large living space, oceanfront, gorgeous sunset views
