Description
Classic charm meets modern beach breeziness at The Sand Dollar, a chic, second-story 1BR/1.5BA apartment in the heart of Gulfport’s vibrant Waterfront District.
With a parlor-style living space and private, tropical patio, there’s no shortage of spaces to relax. And you’ll do so in style: preserved Shaker touches and cool coastal décor offer the ideal blend of laid-back beach vibes and old-school Florida elegance.
Venture out and find yourself at the center of a vibrant community, where you’ll fill your days with farmer’s markets or music festivals. Spend afternoons in the surf and evenings at diverse waterfront restaurants. It’s all here in Gulfport, a funky little community tucked within St. Pete.
A DAY AT THE SAND DOLLAR
Wake up in a king-size bedroom with airy coastal accents to remind you that you’re on beach time. The en-suite master bath with a walk-in shower is great for refreshing for the day ahead or washing off the sand from your latest adventure.
Swing open the French doors to the living space, then grab a book or admire the treetop views from the cozy sofas. If you need a minute to check in with the real world, steal away to catch up on emails at the corner desk (free WiFi is also included).
Additional guests can use the main en-suite bathroom and convenient half-bath off the downstairs laundry room. A queen-size EZ bed is also available if you’re bringing a crew of four.
Suited for prepping everything from beach picnics to gourmet cuisine, the kitchen is equipped with a full suite of appliances and all the pots, pans, and dishes you’d find at home.
Shake a margarita and sip it in the upstairs sunroom, or prep feasts and share them in your private outdoor yard. This tropical-inspired space is draped by an enormous sail shade to keep afternoon gatherings cool—have a long lunch at the outdoor table, then recoup on the loungers or hammock.
WHY WE LOVE THE SAND DOLLAR
Its own hidden hangout in the midst of the Waterfront District, the Sand Dollar offers low-key relaxation to balance out Gulfport’s energy and excitement.
We love its quaint charm as much as we love its proximity to fun and funky downtown, home to mouthwatering dining establishments, unique art galleries, and a full line-up of events. Visit during GeckoFest, a circus-inspired street event with chill tunes and can’t-miss costumes, or catch a bi-weekly ArtWalk.
For some time in the great outdoors, take your four-legged family member on a stroll to the dog park, or peddle your way down the Pinellas Bike Trail. The Sand Dollar is just a short trip from Stetson School of Law and Eckerd College, making it ideal for families making a visit to campus.

Policies
We will need names of all adults who will have access to the home and be staying overnight.
We do not have an automatic refund policy for hurricanes or tropical storms. If you are traveling during hurricane season (June 1 - November 30th) you should consider the purchase of trip/travel insurance.
Refundable security deposit of $250 OR a $49 nonrefundable damage deposit is required in addition to the rent, taxes, any applicable pet fees, any applicable pet cleaning and departure cleaning.
Minimum age requirements: We will rent to persons under the age of 25. The person paying must be at least 18, pay with their own card, provide proof of a valid ID and complete a full rental agreement. No persons under 18 permitted unless staying with a parent or guardian.
This home is not suitable for parties or weddings or "events" of any kind.
You may park on the property. The entrance is via an alley and through a very wide gate. However, the angle of the turn is quite sharp (90 degrees) and obstructions on the opposite side of the alley will make pulling in a very large commercial-type van, an extended cab pickup truck or a boat pulled behind a trailer almost impossible. Regular-sized vehicles (up to 3) would be no problem.
Pet allergies: All homes are pet-friendly. This means that a pet has been in the home at some time. If you have pet allergies and do not take medication for them, you should not rent our homes. This does not mean that the home has not been cleaned, it simply means that we will not refund your money if you rent a "pet-friendly" home and find it aggravates your allergies.
Allergies to cleaning products: We generally make environmentally-friendly cleaning products available in our homes, including Mrs. Meyers and Honest Company products. However, our homes are cleaned by a professional cleaning company and we do not guarantee that some portion of the home has not been cleaned with a more "traditional" cleaning product.
High Season: If your reservation includes ANY dates between December 1st and April 30th, your reservation is in the High Season and you are covered by the High Season deposit policy and the High Season cancellation policy.
High Season Deposit Policy and Cancellation Policy: If your reservation includes ANY dates between December 1st and April 30th you are covered by the “High Season” cancellation policy. For High Season reservations, you must pay an initial payment of $500 to reserve it. This payment is nonrefundable if you cancel at any time. Your next payment is due 90 days prior to arrival and this payment too is nonrefundable once paid, regardless of your reason for cancellation. For these stays then, if you cancel more than ninety (90) days prior to the start of your lease term, you will lose your initial $500 payment. If you cancel ninety (90) days prior to the start of the lease term or less, you will NOT receive a refund. For these winter rentals, cleaning fees and pet charges will be refunded if they have been paid (i.e., if you have made the second payment.) If you book online, please know that our booking engine applies the Standard cancellation and deposit schedule by default. You will be required to complete a rental agreement applying the High Season cancellation and deposit policy prior to confirmation.
Standard Season Deposit Policy and Cancellation Policy : All other reservations (those with ALL stay dates outside of December 1 to April 30th) are covered by our Standard cancellation policy. If you cancel your occupancy more than sixty (60) days before the lease term begins, there is a $200 cancellation fee. Also for these reservations, if you cancel within sixty (60) days of the start of the scheduled arrival date/lease term, you will NOT receive a refund of any amounts other than the refundable security deposit, pet fees and the cleaning fee, IF THOSE HAVE BEEN PAID. The cleaning fee and pet fees are not paid until the final payment is due and the security deposit is not considered paid until 2-3 weeks prior to arrival. agree to pay the total amount due, including rents and other fees in advance to the Manager and to comply with all terms of the agreement

Reviewer Comments:
The Sand Dollar was all that the pictures showed it to be. It was clean and very well organized. Beth was easy to communicate with and followed up quickly whenever I had a question or concern. The bed and other furniture were comfortable and user-friendly, everything in good order but nothing prissy and off-putting. We look forward to returning next year. The location really worked. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach but far enough from the nightlife that we never heard the noise.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a very nice apt for vacation rental. The only con is that the driveway and entrance run off the large back alley which is very dark when walking back at night. We use Splashy Ventures vacations rentals for our Florida rentals and will continue to do so. I highly recommend them.

A Nice florida Vacation
A private and well appointed living area located on the second floor behind the primary home with a privacy fence and large courtyard to park your car and relax outdoors. Located in a quaint neighborhood with the friendly Gulfport community only a block away

Great getaway, close to everything
The rental unit was as shown in the pictures, unit was very clean. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, except no dishwasher (that was me). I had trouble finding the unit when we first arrived, we drove right by the gated driveway when we went down the alley opposite of the directions. The unit is only 2 blocks to the heart of Gulfport, seemed like something was going on everyday. So many shops, restaurants (loved The Neptune, great Greek food), bars (O'Maddys), beach volleyball, beach with swings, kids play ground, public library (free internet access), community theater, dancing, free live entertainment, you name it, they have it all. I would recommend the unit for couples and possibly with a family of 4 with small children. I plan to stay at the Sand Dollar again if unit is available on our next visit to the Tampa Bay area.

Awesome Sauce
Awesome little one bedroom located near bars and restaurants, easy access, all walking distance. This was a perfect space for my boyfriend, myself, and our small dog. Perfect place to stay for a few days to check out the west coast, I would definitely recommend this place!
