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."

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 return visit for us to the Sand Dollar. Once again we had a great stay. The location is just perfect to walk to everything. The property is clean and just right for a couple. Love the private outside patio area. "

We loved the Sand Dollar. We stayed for 3 weeks while our home was being renovated perfect for a couple or family of three. The kitchen was our favorite part!"

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!"

Loved the Sand Dollar
"We really enjoyed our time at the Sand Dollar. We were visiting my daughter at Eckerd College in St. Pete and Gulfport is a nice alternative to the busy St. Pete Beach area. It's great to be able to walk around town and we especially appreciated how dog-friendly the place is. Sand Dollar was the perfect size for a couple and one small dog, with a nice restful gated yard to enjoy. It had everything we could want or need and was very comfortable and clean. I'm not sure I could recommend this for more than 2 or maybe 3 people, as the second bed is a sofa bed and the only bath is off of the bedroom, but for a couple, it was wonderful. We'll definitely try to stay again sometime!"

Relaxing stay at The Sand Dollar
"We had a wonderful stay at Sand Dollar apt. It was a hidden gem in the quaint town of Gulfport, Fl. I grew up here and love to come back to visit. It is in a great location with easy access to many places. I found it to be clean and well stocked with almost everything you could need. There are many great restaurants in the area. I love Habana Cafe which is right down the street. I hope we can come back for another stay!"

The Sand Dollar
"Very well-run operation. Clean, well-appointed, easy check-in/access. Location has that perfect balance of closeness to waterfront bars/restaurants and quiet off-street privacy. We have stayed in many rental units in Gulfport and this one ranks as one of our favorites. Thanks for an enjoyable vacation experience!"

Conveniently Close to Gulfport
"All was neat and tidy, clean, plenty of towels, pillows, and the kitchen was very well equipped on this self catering unit. Loved the added security of being able to close the driveway gates at night."

House of Character
"It was great having all the kitchen stocked with utensils and everything else. Very private driveway and plenty of parking. If you want a place with character, this is the perfect place. Close to the water and beach St."

March 9-14th stay
"We flew into Orlando and drove to Gulfport at night. It was a little tricky to find the place because of the alleys, but after that everything was great. It was very nice to have the keypad on the door. We also had everything we needed. We were in town for the Grand Prix, so we were close enough to downtown to easily drive or Uber. A couple nights we ate on the strip a few blocks away. It was a much more relaxing experience than a hotel! Everything else from the weekend was great and if we do come back again, we'll likely look this place up first! Thanks"

LOVE THIS PLACE!
"We keep coming back to the Sand Dollar. It's the perfect place for the two of us and our dog. Bright and airy, private fenced back yard. Only a block from the water front and from the downtown area. Art walks, Fresh Markets, cute restaurants and coffee places. Fully furnished, everything you need in the kitchen and laundry room. Always clean when we arrive, owners are so friendly and willing to do what ever we need to make our stay perfect - great customer service. A+ rental!"

We have stayed at the Sand Dollar many times, in the spring and in the fall. Beth was very helpful when she moved us to Sand Dollar when it became available due to a cancellation. The unit was very clean and had everything you might need for cooking, grilling out on patio, or taking in the nearby resturants and night life. You will get a great nights sleep in the comfy king bed. The location is just a walk away to the main drag in Gulfport and a short drive to the beaches on the Gulf. If your thing is dancing, there is a dance hall (casino) with different themes nightly and lessons are available. I prefer to go sailing, there are many locations nearby to rent a boat or go on a afternoon or sunset cruise, a must do while in Florida. There are two bikes in the laundry room on the ground level, the area has a great bike/hike trail network or just ride around town to explore. The only regret was having to leave our great fall getaway and to return home to the awaiting cold weather. "
Very nice stay and location in Gulfport
"As part of a multi-city Florida trip, my wife and I stayed in the Sand Dollar at this great location in Gulfport. Communication and information exchange with the owner prior to our arrival was fast and efficient. The location was not only a close walk to the water, shops and restaurants, but it was central for our trips north, south, east and west to various attractions, museums and beaches.
The neighborhood was very quiet and the parking area off the alley was great. Having the separate building to yourself (all self-contained) felt very private and secure. The laundry area just below the flat was also secure and very handy. The unit was well air conditioned and had all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay.
We have no reservations in recommending this property and owner to potential travelers."

Sand Dollar is a beautiful second floor apartment that gives a wonderful view of Gulfport! No worries about downstairs neighbors as 1st floor is storage for the properties. Sand Dollar has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Beth does an excellent job making sure everything is perfect. The location is an easy walk to the beach, pier, shops, and an assortment of awesome restaurants. Gulfport is a small and friendly town that has managed to stay unique amongst the over developed beach towns. It is also just a short drive to Fort DeSoto which boasts a terrific dog beach that our pups always enjoy! All of Beth's properties are beautiful and incredible well maintained. We have rented from her for over 10 years and have never been disappointed! Sand Dollar is a favorite for it cozy charm and privacy. "
Love this property!
"Cozy, comfortable beach property walking distance to everything in Gulfport. My second stay there and I’ll definitely be returning!"

Great time in funky Gulfport. This apartment is well furnished and thoroughly equipped ... all good quality stuff. It is very comfortable for two people. We have been to Gulfport many times so for us the location and approach to this property we’re not off putting. The back alley approach is far less than appealing. Once in the courtyard all is fine. It is a very easy walk to Arts District and beach. A fun stay!!!"
