Beach Trip

Overall the room was spacious and clean, amenities were very nice and staff was friendly. The staff were also quick and helpful regarding clean towels and linens. Everything was provided, bathroom toiletries too. Only issue was Sunday morning around 8 or 9, we were woken up by work on the roof and loud bangs. While this likely wasn’t avoidable, it was still disruptive and we were asked to move our car.

The Sand Dolaar is perfect for a quick trip or solo trip. Of you need comfort, this isn't for you. But its perfect for a get-a-way. Management has been great with any needs as well.

Staff was nice, however the rooms are not very clean.
3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was OK, but the property needs to be updated. The rugs in the room are dated and stained. Shower had plenty of pressure but the shower head was all clogged and desperately needed to be replaced. Good property for single guy or young adult on a budget. Your wife will definitely not like it there. I was there on the off season so it probably improves when they have more staff and customers. I would give it another chance if I went down again.
Anthony, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good to stay.

It was a good place because it was close to the beach. It does need som maintenance and up grades. There is no cleaning services during my stay.

David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were late coming in, but the keys were left for us which was nice. Rooms had plenty of coffee which most places I have to ask for, very nice! Only drawback was not having shower curtains in either room.

Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s clean and affordable which can be hard to find. The shower is Hot hot! Which is no complaint from my wife.
Cameron, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not bad for the price

The sand dollar is an ok place for a night or two. It’s very basic at a reasonable price. Refrigerator and kitchen were nice to have in the room. I would suggest bringing toiletries, coffee and extra towels.
Johnny, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth the money

Run down old motel. It looked better in pictures. The beds were incredibly hard. No one was on the property if you had a problem
Cisco, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

No shoes, no shirt, no problem

If you’re not concerned with Francy and just want to be a beach bum, this place is fine. The price is one of the lowest at this beach but takes about 10 minutes to walk to the ocean. It’s got a view of the bay across the street though.
Dale, 1-night trip
