Home away from home

Sanddollar is a beautiful, clean and well kept property. It is close to beaches and tasty restaurants. The hosts are amazing and friendly folks! They know the area very well and can provide great recommendations on how to get the most out of your time on the island. My friends and I spend a week at Sanddollar every year and always have a great time! If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway where you can truly appreciate “island time,” this is the place for you!

Comfortable Home on St Simons

The house was really nice. Bill, the owner, was good to work with and provided a very personalized welcome for us and our pet. The only downside was there was no grill (we knew that, just would be a nice edition).

My favorite stay!

This was my favorite VRBO stay to date! The house itself is exactly as pictured and very comfortable for a group of 3 couples. One of the highlights of our trip was spending time in the backyard and riding our bikes into town. The hosts, Tamara and Bill are very friendly and gave great restaurant and activity recommendations for during our stay. The Sand Dollar exceeded our expectations and I can’t wait to visit again! Thank you Tamara & Bill!

Island Living at its Best at Sand Dollar

The Langhams are gracious hosts who made us feel welcome and right at home! Sand Dollar is a lovey home located mid island and is beautifully maintained, decorated and filled with all the comforts one needs. Its near proximity to the beaches, golf courses and marina makes it easy to settle down, relax, and fall into “island life” quickly. The Langham’s are wonderful resources who are happy to share their knowledge of the area and ensure you are taking advantage of all the local activities and festivities - whether you are young or old or somewhere in the middle, there’s something here for everyone. We love staying at Sand Dollar and look forward to returning here for many more years to come. We’re already planning our return trip!

Sanddollar feels like home

We have spent much of 2023/24 winter season in this cheerful, comfortable, well equipped home. Minutes from golf, groceries and great restaurants it is nonetheless quiet except for the occasional rooster crowing. The island has much to offer, nothing is very far, and Sanddollar has been a wonderful jumping off spot. Bill and Tamara are excellent hosts…nearby if needed without compromising privacy in any way. We have loved it here.

Wonderful property and Hospitality

Thank you Bill & Tamara, For allowing us to stay at your wonderful property, we throughly enjoyed ourself and it was a god send that everything was on single level as our little frenchie hirl had hurt her self only a week before our stay, on medicines and was worried whether we would be able to make it. The location helped hugely in her recovery and convelescence and it was very welcomed recover for us, just relaxing and going down to the ocean. The family and I thoroughly enjoy our wonderful stay and the hospitality especially the very welcoming gift basket for our puppies and ourselves. If we come back to St Simons we would definitely like to stay with you again. Warmest regards Marc and Tara

Quiet and relaxing

Well kept home and lovely yard. Bright cheery colors and very comfortable. Eclectic mix of songbirds! Centrally located and convenient to all St Simons has to offer. We go there primarily for bike riding so this central location is best. Kitchen has everything you need for a stay and restaurants are very close by or easy Uber ride. Our elderly dog was quite comfortable and enjoyed the large yard. Our host Bill was really friendly and responded immediately to our questions. In all the years we have been using Vrbo this is the first time the owner had the house cleaned while we were there. Bonus! We plan to stay again.

What an amazing week!

I can not say enough good things about this property and the owners. If I’m being honest I was a little concerned about the owners being right now. Not that we are a rowdy bunch but there is something nice about having your own space and privacy. I can honestly say this was perfect! They are next door if you need them, but if not it’s completely private. We never even saw them only their sweet pups that would sometimes peel their head in the fence boards. :) this property was so cozy and had everything we could have needed. From the welcome gifts to the included shampoo and conditioner so many small details that made you feel special. We can’t wait to come for another visit! Book it! You will be glad you did!

The Best Vacation We've Had in Years

In a word, this stay at Sand Dollar was Spectacular. First and foremost, the property pics do not do the place justice at all. Impeccably kept is the only way I would describe it. While it might be intimidating to some to have the owners a privacy fence away, our family found there to be comfort in the owners being accessible, if need be. The owners left no detail out in preparing us for a relaxing and adventurous time. We lacked for nothing, even going down to the goodie basket, toiletries, towels, linens and everything else provided us by Bill and Tamara. Our two dogs were welcomed with open arms and embraced by the owners. The fenced in yard was a huge plus. It is so very nice to travel with our dogs as opposed to leaving them behind. More than enough room to occupy with three additional kids, should need arise. Cozy, comfortable, and inviting, we look forward to visiting there again in the future.

Everything was Perfect

Having rented many vacation rentals, seldom is everything perfect. It was at Sanddollar. Great quiet location, house easy to find and access, everything newly renovated inside, and, most importantly, owners/hosts that are really nice people and that really cared about our stay. I cannot overstate the importance of the hosts. We always felt respected of our privacy, but also felt we had friends right next door. Importantly to us, we were able to bring our dog to St. Simons and we were invited next door to Bill and Tamara's house for a dog get together. Very fun and kind of them to do. These sort of things make vacation rentals from owners a step above any other kind of rental. And by the way, St. Simons is the most dog friendly place we have visited, with dogs allowed on the beach, off the leash if in control, early in the morning and later in the evening. In addition, I am a fisherman and Bill gave me some great advice and even connected me with a guide. Indoor and outdoor space around the house was very comfortable.Like the title says. Everything was perfect.
