Loved every minute in this beautiful home. Everything was perfect!
5.0
The location of this property was perfect for our small family, we have a 5 and 7 year old. The walk to the beach was very convenient! The pool area was enjoyable, just enough sun and shade both for everyone’s comfort level. The pool depth seemed to be around 4.5-5 fr deep and perfect for our kids. The house was very clean and welcoming with zero complaints. This home qualifies for the list of properties that can be booked for future visits!

Loved this experience!
Pictures and description were 100% accurate. Loved the accessibility to the ocean and how nice the place was- will use again!!

Wonderful vacation home with a great location to beach! Only complaint is the grill is basically non-working. We tried three times to use and ALL three times we ended up using the oven. With it being Spring Break and restaurants so busy we had decided to grill out a lot. We tried, but the grill is old, greasy, smelly and just does not work. More beach towel would have been nice too.

This property was perfect for our family of four. We will definitely stay here again when we return to A.M.I. I was worried about how far away it was from the beach but it really is an extremely short walk. Owners were extremely easy to get in touch with before we arrived. We loved it!

All was great, just need better beach chairs and tent/umbrellas for the beach. Other then that, we loved it again! Host is great and communicates news of the area! Thank you.

Awesome house, even better location! Very comfortable, private pool, and walking distance to beach. There was tons of beach stuff for us to use as well. House is very nicely decorated and has plenty of space. We will be back to the island and this house!

I can not say enough good things about this place. The location was perfect. Very short walk to the beach and plenty of places to eat nearby. The house was very clean and well kept and the owner was always quick to respond if we needed them. 10/10 will stay here again.

Perfect place for a Girls Week Getaway! Easy walk to the beach and close to everything on the Island Carolyn is amazing! She provided wonderful recommendations for dining and activities. She even checked on us during our stay! Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!!!

We absolutely loved the house, location and pool! It was perfect for our family of 4 with two teenagers (15 and 18). Just a 3-5 minute walk to the beach was amazing! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely Perfect!!
This was the absolutely perfect place for our family of 4 to stay on our first trip to AMI. It was spotless upon arrival and Carolyn was wonderful to work with. She was quick to respond and so helpful with any question I had. It was nicely updated with high end furnishings. It included everything we needed, including beach towels and a closet full of beach accessories. The full size washer and dryer was so nice and the pantry was so big and a wonderful bonus! The house had plenty of storage for everything we brought. The pool and lanai area was absolutely amazing and beautifully decorated and landscaped. It was our favorite part! The location of the house was perfect. It was a nice quiet street in a very nice neighborhood. You did not have to cross any of the busy streets to get to the beach. The beach access was directly at the end of the street, not even 2 blocks away. It was close enough to the main part of town that you could get to Pine street or Manatee Beach in just a couple minutes via golf cart. It was close enough to everything, but just far enough to not be too busy. It was very private and did not seem like a duplex at all. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone and we would definitely stay again.

Perfect location. Wonderful stay.
The reviews of the property are exactly correct. Clean and tidy, well decorated, newly renovated. Proximity to the beach is amazing and absolutely a highlight of the property. We loved the pool and shaded dining area. Our 7 year old swam every day! The property owner/manager is attentive and responsive helping with a minor dishwasher issue we experienced almost immediately. We will absolutely be back and will stay at this same property again. Stop looking, you’ve found the best.

Fabulous rental property near the beach
The property was very clean with contemporary decor. The kitchen and bathrooms were updated with luxurious finishes. The private pool on the property was a definite plus and our 3 yr old granddaughter preferred it over the beach. The owner was very responsive to all our needs. Oh yes and the beach was a 2 min walk. Would definitely rent again.

Absolutely prime rental!
We stayed at the Sand Dollar Cottage for a month in Feb/Mar 2022 and were delighted with this property. It was spotlessly clean upon arrival and beautifully decorated. The backyard pool and surroundings are a little bit of paradise! It is a very short walk to the beach and one block from the free trollley stop. The beds were very comfortable and having two bathrooms is a great plus. The kitchen has beautiful stainless steel appliances with an ice maker and plenty of cooking supplies. Carolyn is a delight to communicate with and makes sure her guests are comfortable with everything. I would not hesitate to recommend this property!

The house is in a great quiet neighborhood, and very close to the beach! Nice pool, well appointed kitchen, and the beds were very comfy! I would definitely consider staying here again!

What a gem!
We loved this property - it's updated, spotlessly clean,
and the best location on the island. One block to the beach and walking distance to restaurants, shops, groceries, etc. The space is perfect for a couple or small family. The pool is a gem. The owner is so personable and responsive, and supplies great beach gear. While the condo shares a wall with another, we didn't hear a peep and the neighborhood is also very quiet. The weather can be cool and windy in early February, but the clear sunny days can't be beat!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sand Dollar Cottage. Property was as described, clean and well equipped for our visit (even had a pack and play and blender for smoothies). Our little one LOVED the pool, the covered shallow portion was perfect for her to splash and play in. It's just minutes from the beach and the wagon/chair/toys were so convenient. We enjoyed riding the trolley (stop just 1 block away) and rented bikes to ride around the north side of the island.

Perfect. Place was clean and comfortable.

Place was very clean. Sometimes when we rent a place, we feel like we need to clean when we get there. This place was not one of those places.
The pool was crystal clear and the pool area was decorated nicely with palm trees and other well-maintained landscaping. It made the whole pool area an escape from everything. Which is good because the overall neighborhood is just okay. It’s not that it’s run down or scary, it’s just not as nice as some of the other areas on the island. That’s really the only knock on this otherwise really nice property.
Beach access was very easy, parking was great, location was pretty much central to the stuff to do on the north half of the island.
Would definitely be willing to stay there again

Perfect getaway!
This condo is perfect! It's super clean, modern and beautifully decorated. And the partially covered, warm pool with changeable led lights is very relaxing at night. I was also amazed how close the walk was to the beach. Finally, Carolyn is super responsive and a pleasure to talk to. She had the pool guy come out the next day, when I thought the pool heater wasn't working. She also gave me excellent restaurant recommendations. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it!
