Perfect Girl’s Trip

The home was absolutely stunning! So close to the beach, super clean, comfortable beds, and a quick golf cart ride or Uber ride to entertainment. It was the perfect place for a long weekend away!

Fun in the sun

We had a great time during our stay! All the shops and store was close by and the beach was a few minutes walk down the street. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe the whole time there. The house was amazing and very when we got there. The owner and the rest of the team was very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns before and during our stay there. Definitely recommend this place for your next vacation

Amazing Family Vacation

From the moment we booked we were in touch with the property manager. Communication was great. The home exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our multi family vacation. We would definitely book this property again. The pool and outside area were great. Very quiet neighborhood. We rented a golf cart and used that for commutes to the beach, but it’s an easy walk.

Impromptu vacation

It’s difficult these days to find time where our schedules align with our adult children! We scheduled this VRBO on a Friday & arrived Saturday! The check in was super simple. Check out very easy too! The location & house were perfect! We had everything we needed! There was no detail our host didn’t think of! The private pool was amazing & the short walk to the beach made beach days a breeze! The house was big enough for everyone to have their own space to retreat to. The kitchen was perfect for a family where everyone loves to cook. We were close to shopping, restaurants & entertainment! Thanks so much, this week was exactly what our family needed!!

Lovely home

We had a great experience at Sand Dollar. Little things made a big difference…pool towels provided, well equipped kitchen for cooking and storing (like Tupperware and chip clips), blankets for chilly evenings, hand soap in bathrooms, games/movies, pool basketball game that my boys loved, beach set up for 4 right in front! We would definitely recommend this house and would rent here again. Katie responded quickly to questions and was very helpful and friendly. Thank you!

Great Vacation

We were a group of 14 family members from around the country all gathering together for what was one of the best vacations we have ever enjoyed. This property easily accommodated all of us very comfortably. The location was close to the beach, shopping and restaurants yet provided a quiet neighborhood feeling. Katy was responsive to all of our needs and the property was immaculate. Highly recommended. Hope we can return soon.

Fabulous House and Host

We loved our week at this property. If you have children this is the house for you. Katie provides everything and more you will need for babies/children including beach/pool toys. Kitchen is amazingly stocked and there are special touches throughout to make it feel like home. Beds are very comfortable. Beach chair set up and bikes are provided and the location to the beach is a short walk. Katie is by far the best host I have experienced. Just because I like to know what to bring, the only thing not provided is shower wash/shampoo. This house will not disappoint.

Amazing!

We stayed with 10 adults, 2 kids, 3 toddlers. Everything you could want is there! The kitchen is completely stocked with a starter of paper towels and toilet paper. The pool is big and clean. The beach sets ups are the best amenity and made our trip so much better. The ice maker also was a great convenience! Our stay could not have been better!

The Family Get Away

It was everything as we had seen and read about it and more. The pool was heated, and the grandkids couldn’t stay away. The openness of the living room and kitchen was perfect for family gatherings and meals. The bedrooms were beautifully laid out with plenty of room. The location was only a short distance from everything including the white sand beaches. It is truly a great place for families to come together and enjoy their vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Katie M Atwater

As an owner in Crystal beach since 2004, I personally manage 'Sand Dollar' in order to provide customized service to my guests. I have sold Real Estate along the Emerald Coast for 17 years and specialize in luxury residences, second homes & investment properties. Living nearby enables me to be available to my guests and to keep this home meticulously maintained.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the charming streets lined with white picket fences. The height restriction on beachfront properties makes the beach area less crowded. Easy walk to the beach, Restaurants, playground, book store, coffee shop, and ice cream shops. Bike & walking path runs along scenic 98/ the beach for about 5 miles.

What makes this property unique

The openness of the house home offers a very wide gather space with two living areas, a dining table that seats 10, bar stools and oversized bedroom suites.
