Yes, please! 🧇😄).



    And here’s something special: Sand Dollar 5 is one of the few units in the entire complex with an actual Gulf view! While it's not beachfront, you’ll enjoy those sparkling water glimpses right between the buildings—perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.

Perfect Stay

We had a great stay and would definitely book this condo again! It was clean, well kept, and had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was super easy, and it was nice being able to walk to restaurants, shops and pretty much everything around the area without having to drive as much. Our daughter absolutely loved the kids room and had a blast in the pool. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a family-friendly place near the beach!

We would stay here again. A bit loud at night from people on the streets.Top bunk bed a bit creeky - but we have a restless sleeper. Prompt communication with Host. Need to bring extra toilet paper, beach towels, and quarters for the clothes washing machines. I would recommend for the cost.
