Welcome to Island Sand Dollar!

A 3BR/2BA cozy, one-level beach cottage that sleeps up to 9 total guests, Island Sand Dollar is updated and offers 'Beachfront' views at 'Across the Street' pricing!

In addition to the best Gulf views, the living room offers additional sleeping with a Queen size sleeper sofa and a large, flat screen TV and DVD player. Just beyond the living room is a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, and laundry closet with full size washer/dryer.

The West side Master bedroom has a comfortable King-sized bed with large, flat screen TV, Gulf views and a sliding door that opens onto the beachside sundeck. This bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom with tiled shower.

On the opposite end of the home are two more bedrooms and a full bathroom w/ combination tub/shower. The bunk bedroom has a twin-over-full bunkbed and the Queen bedroom has a TV, Gulf views and a sliding door that opens onto the sundeck. The beachside sundeck is a great place to take in the Gulf view during the day and to count the endless stars at night.

After a day at the beach, rinse off in the hot/cold enclosed outdoor shower and settle into the shaded lounge area underneath the house with lazy hammock and additional seating, a great place to get out of the sun but still enjoy the Gulf breeze.

Beach access is directly across the street via a sandy beach path. Less than a 20 second walk finds your toes in the sand! If surf fishing, be sure to bring your catch back for grilling. We have a fish cleaning sink w/ hose and park-style charcoal grill for your convenience.

Sorry, we no longer allow pets.

Island Sand Dollar is a cozy family beach house. Great access to the beach, which had a gentle drop off. The kitchen was exceptionally well set up. We cooked several meals there and had everything we needed.

We loved the house! Great location, well stocked kitchen, very clean and comfortable. There was a veach wagon, chairs, beach toys and beach towels available for us to use. The beach access was just across the road and took only 2 or 3 minutes to get from our door out the the beach! We will definitely stay again!

Great Beach Cottage

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Island Sand Dollar. It was very comfortable and well-appointed for our party of 4. The location is fantastic, just a quick walk to the beach. Communication was also very good. We look forward to another visit. Thank you for sharing this cute cottage.

Amazing location steps to the beach

The location of this property was just amazing! Steps from the beach and ocean views when you wake up! The property was clean and was well stocked for a VRBO. I would stay here again and I would also recommend to others. There are steps, so if you're not able to use steps this could be a difficult property.

Perfect size, perfect location, great value

My family of 5 includes three young children. The house was perfect for our family size, and we loved the easy beach access! The kitchen was great, the beds and furniture were comfortable, and the hammock below the house was a huge hit. It felt so homey that my kids didn't want to leave! We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great house at a great value on St. George Island.

The property was perfect for my husband and I and 1 another couple. This was the 2nd time that we have stayed at the Island Sand Dollar and was just as impressive as it was 4 years ago. The kitchen was supplied with everything that we needed to cook dinner with. The house was perfect and spotless and we will be staying again. Thank you for listing it and allowing us to stay there. BTW I replaced the batteries in the bedroom & my husband repaired the handle on the toilet. TY again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Island Sand Dollar was the cutest home for me and my family. The living room area was very spacious, the kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking utensils one would need, and the beach decor and furnishings had all the beach feels that we were hoping for. The home is located just across the street from the beach via a sandy path that felt like our own the entire stay. The outside seating on the deck and under the house made perfect little spots to unwind and relax after a long day at the beach. We would definitely stay at the Island Sand Dollar again.

Paradise

This is our second stay at Island Sand Dollar and it's as perfect as it was our last visit. The house is so comfortable, has everything you could possibly need and is an oasis of peace and quiet. You can sit on the porch, watching the waves, birds and breeze and find peace in your soul. The bed is so comfortable, the livingroom is the perfect place to recline on the comfy sofas and read or gaze out the windows, this truly is a place of recharging your batteries. We were delayed by the hurricane that hit our area and Jamie was wonderful working with us to make our time here work, can't thank you and the property owners enough for that. We will be coming back to Island Sand Dollar again and again and again, a home away from home.

Lovely, clean first tier home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Island Sand Dollar was the 11th home we’ve rented on SGI, and easily one of our favorites. We immediately noticed upon arrival how clean the home was—much cleaner than most we’ve rented. The decor is lovely, and the home was configured nicely four our family of four. We loved sitting on the newly re-decked porch to watch the sun set and the convenient beach access trail just across the street from the driveway. The kitchen is so well stocked, we were surprised. Overall, we loved this home and will likely rent it again.
