Lovely house

The house was lovely and very roomy. We enjoyed being able to hang out comfortably in the living area with plenty of space. We had a few issues but the owner was quick to handle them. The only tiny disappointment was the listing showed a pool volleyball net but there wasnt one available. Overall we loved this place and would recommend!

Did not meet expectations

For the one-week generous fee, the property was not what was expected. Many of the lights and fans in the house did not function, stains on sofa and chair cushions, and the house was not clean. Found an old baby bottle, with milk, under one bed and other rooms had popcorn kernels on the floor. Even the teenagers noticed. Would not recommend this property.

We expected more

Overall the condition of this home is tired. We loved the kitchen and the pool but some of the furnishings were stained and some of the bedding was tattered. The deck on the top floor was badly in need of attention as there was at least one loose board and the wood looked like it had never been stained so it was very rough to walk on .It was not a home we would consider staying in again.

Summer vacation at Corolla

This property had plenty of room for our crew of 10, which included a child, a couple teens and adults. The location was perfect with easy access to the grocery store, restaurants and shopping and 4x4 beach access. And a short and easy walk right to the beach, thanks to the walkway which is only 3 houses down from the Sand Dollar. The pool and hot tub were perfect and used constantly. We didn't use the picnic table because it seemed a little unsteady and there a few nails on the decks that could be hammered down. But there are chairs on the decks to sit and there's also plenty of room at the dining room table.

Nice place. Would consider again.

Everything was good. Pool was nicely heated. Beds were a bit firm for us. Beach access was easy but no sand toys found on property. Billiards setup was a bit tight in the room but it worked. There was a Keurig and standard coffee maker. We had a small issue with the thermostat schedule since it could not be locked to a temperature but we were able to set it to 70 repeatedly throughout the day. There was a GFCI outlet in the carport which was great for charging the plugin hybrid. Thanks Alex!

The Perfect Getaway

We had such a fabulous trip! Loved the hot tub and having a heated pool option was amazing (especially in April). Weather was nice. Great proximity to the beach! Received a text from the owner upon arrival to make sure everything was as expected. The pool heater was acting up a little but Alex was very prompt in getting the pool company over to fix things and they were proactive about coming back to check on it all. We are looking forward to going back!

This place has everything you could want…and more

There isn’t anything bad I have to say about this property. The area is awesome and perfectly located about a 3 minute walk from the beach. This place has a great floor plan, a wide open common area on the top floor, then most of the bedrooms are located on the second floor. The lower level has the game room with pool and darts. We had 9 people (4 adults and 5 kids ranging from 10 to 17) and there was plenty of room for us all to be very comfortable. The owner was great to work with and the company caring for the property was responsive and prompt if anything was needed. Everything was great and we will definitely be heading back again.

Sand Dollar vacation

Reading prior positive reviews, I was impressed with the friendliness of the owner and subsequent comments. I was taken by surprise by the curt (bordering on rude) communications I had with Alex. It somewhat diminished the enthusiasm I had for our upcoming stay, unfortunately. The kitchen was perfect, well stocked with all we could need. The living space suitable for us. The pool was great. Had some issues with master bathroom and response time was slow from management. Ultimately we resolved the issue. We came expecting to grill many times and and after seeing the condition of the grill, we purchased one, as the property’s grill was so coated and filthy it wasnt usable. Having been an OBX visitor many times, my overall experience this time was less favorable than I have experienced previously. This was my younger family members’ first experience as adults and they enjoyed their stay, which was my primary goal….so that was good.

HIDE & SEEK

Although this is a ver nice home to rent, the owner needs to supply more information in the form of a folder or book in an obvious location.....such as a we have always found on a coffee table or kitchen counter. The realty company gave us the pass word for internet, which was incorrect. And after 24 hours without service, we finally located the router where the correct password was posted. Overall, it was a great home and a memorable stay!!

We loved our stay at The Sand Dollar! Plenty of space for adults and kids, great hot tub and pool, close to the beach, close to the grocery store and restaurants, what more do you need!? We had one issue with the pool heat partway through our stay, turned out that the propane tank was empty and the owner was kind enough to refund us for part of the heating fee. Still didn't stop our kids from getting in the pool, though! We'd happily stay here again!

Great Get-Away!!

It's a wonderful house!!! We had a great time in OBX for a much needed vacation. The house was beautiful and very roomy and had everything we needed. We were only 2 blocks from the beach with an easy walking path. The pool and hottub were a huge success for our teenaged guests and also for us adults after a long day at the beach! The house has many bathrooms which we loved! The owners were very easy to work with especially concerning the changing status of the COVID regulations. We appreciate them staying in close contact with us. The only thing we needed were a few more dish towels! We loved the on-the-counter ice cube maker. That was KEY!!

Frieds stay at Sanddollar

Our family along with friends stayed at Sanddollar 8/10-8/17. We had a great week, in a great location. The house had great space and everything we needed. We had great communication with the property owner every step of the way which was helpful. We did however have very little communication with the Management company. I made one call to inquire about checkin process and was told I would receive an email with all the information in a welcome packet. I never received that email. That lead to having no information on check-our process. We were left to guess on what our responsibilities were when leaving the house.
