FREE Beach Gear! Guests of this home will enjoy a complimentary beach gear credit toward items such as bicycles, kayaks, beach umbrellas and more!
Welcome to Island Sand Dollar!
A 3BR/2BA cozy, one-level beach cottage that sleeps up to 9 total guests, Island Sand Dollar is updated and offers 'Beachfront' views at 'Across the Street' pricing!
In addition to the best Gulf views, the living room offers additional sleeping with a Queen size sleeper sofa and a large, flat screen TV and DVD player. Just beyond the living room is a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, and laundry closet with full size washer/dryer.
The West side Master bedroom has a comfortable King-sized bed with large, flat screen TV, Gulf views and a sliding door that opens onto the beachside sundeck. This bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom with tiled shower.
On the opposite end of the home are two more bedrooms and a full bathroom w/ combination tub/shower. The bunk bedroom has a twin-over-full bunkbed and the Queen bedroom has a TV, Gulf views and a sliding door that opens onto the sundeck. The beachside sundeck is a great place to take in the Gulf view during the day and to count the endless stars at night.
After a day at the beach, rinse off in the hot/cold enclosed outdoor shower and settle into the shaded lounge area underneath the house with lazy hammock and additional seating, a great place to get out of the sun but still enjoy the Gulf breeze.
Beach access is directly across the street via a sandy beach path. Less than a 20 second walk finds your toes in the sand! If surf fishing, be sure to bring your catch back for grilling. We have a fish cleaning sink w/ hose and park-style charcoal grill for your convenience.
Sorry, we no longer allow pets.
Beds: 1 King, 1 Queen, 1 Triple bunkbed (1Twin/1Double), 1 Queen sleeper sofa

First time in SGI. We picked a great place. No complaints. Excellent home for 2 or 4 adults or 4 adults with 2 kids. Quick and easy beach access. We would definitely stay again.

Lindsey was particularly kind, courteous and friendly!
Despite the weather, I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday stay on the island--my favorite place to be! (And this house is next door to the one I regularly rented and leased from a friend for many years. I love the location.
The shower head in the master bathroom was wonderful and therapeutic to my back and neck. I loved the decor and openness of the living area.
A couple suggestions: Since the view is restricted by houses and vegetation, pruning the tops of the shrub next to the palm (beautifully kept) would help. The heat seems to blow almost constantly even tho it's set on auto and it feels colder than the temp as if a fan is blowing on you.

This was our first time to rent with Forgotten Shores and we had a wonderful experience. Island Sand Dollar was a great choice for us. It's a smaller house with a bright, cheery and homey feel with everything we needed. Access to the beach is right across the drive. We would love to come back and extend our stay for a month next time.

The house it’s self was very nice.. loved the location. When we walked in it smelled that sausage had just been cooked the refrigerator and freezer had a extremely strong smell of fish and we couldn’t use the ice because it smelled of fish after emptying it for days. There was trash behind the couch water bottles and a spit bottle in the room with the bunk beds on the floor next to the lamp, small bugs and ants in the kitchen a hair clip still clipped in the master shower to the curtain and a bag of dirty towels under the steps. I don’t know if the guest before us checked out late and put the cleaners in a rush. So we cleaned (not behind the couch)and put more baking soda in the freezer and we had a great time and stay. Thank you for your offering to do a vanilla wipe on the fridge I probably should have taken you up on it but didn’t want to be a bother. It’s a great home and location that we enjoyed very much! Thank you ❤️

Loved this house! Best decor of any beach house I have rented. Very clean. Beds were comfortable, extra lounge area downstairs was amazing but I want to suggest a string of outdoor lights would help, it is hidden back enough by shrubs it won’t effect the turtles. Also not having Tupperware was annoying. It is not stocked with simple things -no coffee filters, no extra toilet paper (they said that in the contract), no beach towels or beach toys for the kids-so just know it’s scaled back on basic things more than any rental I have stayed in so be prepared to buy everything you need or bring it. This being said it is a great house and I would stay there again!

House was great right across the street from the beach. Path to the beach is in front of the house. House is in good shape. Only complaint is the rug it is rattan and we had to wear shoes walking on it.

As 1st time visitors to SGI, and 1st time guests on VRBO, we took the due diligence to ask essential questions about daily needs like wifi and hot water. While this place is beautifully located, it is by no means equipped to handle 5, let alone 9, guests. After 2 showers there was no hot water and with only the bare minimum of devices connected, the wifi could barely load cartoons for our toddler. Recommend this place for proximity to the ocean, but "sleeps 9" is about all that 9 people can do here.For $375/night on a Tuesday, basic essentials should not only be included but functional!

Rental with dog. Wife Wendy
Nice house with great location to beach. Clean house with comfortable master bed. Master bedroom bathroom toilet could use an updater. A "comfort hight" oval toilet would be a nice upgrade to the short small round, did I say short stool.

Great get away!
We booked this particular place because it was advertised as pet friendly. But en route I was checking if we had paid a pet deposit and saw a note that said they no longer allowed pets. So our dog stayed outside - which works for him as we have a good dog box on the truck. But there needs to be clarity on whether pets are allowed. Otherwise everything was perfect. Great location and well appointed home overall. Would definitely stay again.

Weather and Red Tide made this trip a little less than past experiences. The new deck had some loose boards/wood fillers and the house still needs some work. Up- Dating the fridge which had a leak and the clothes dryer which is rusted inside and on top making it hard to get clothes dry without getting rust on them. Over all house was in good order.

Best vacation in a while
The house was great. Location was great. Just had to cross the street and walk a short path and there it was! This was our first vacation without all the big condos and mass people. This was so much more relaxing. Got to take the dog and she had a blast!

Family vacation
We had a great experience at island sand dollar, the location was almost unbeatable and the views were lovely. They also had a surprisingly well stocked kitchen in terms of cooking utensils which we appreciated. The only notes I would make are that the toilet in the master bath was painfully low and unsteady, wouldn’t recommend for anyone over the age of 40, also the cloth headboard in the master was not a good choice as it had several unappealing stains. Be aware as well that they only provide one towel per person and they are not good quality. Once again we had a great stay and I would recommend the house overall but for the price they should pay more attention to detail.

Great House with Excellent Location
There were a total of 7 in our party; 2 adults and 5 teenagers with room for everyone. The house smelled very fresh when we entered (no pet smells). The proximity to the beach was fantastic. We walked right from our house to a small sandy path leading directly to the beach. Our teenagers really enjoyed the hammock and seating area under the house for some privacy. We cooked every night and the kitchen had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this for a family vacation location.
