This is heaven on earth for me 
I come here every year and from the second i arrive till the second i leave it’s just pure joy 
The sun in my face the calm beautiful clear waters of the gulf and this amazing condo in apt 212 
Spacious and clean fully  equipt with everything you would need 
Just bring yourself and your bathing suit 
Supermarkets are close by so you can buy all the food you need to make your own meals if you want and if you don’t.. there are so many places to go and have dinner
Don’t want to rent a car ? You don’t need one 
The Sun Trolley stops right in front and takes you to many attractions including Johns pass where you will surely have a great time from touring in boats , great seafood amazing ice cream and great shops 
The sand dollar is definitely a place you want to stay 
Sleeps 6-8 and it had its own private beach pool jacuzzi and fishing pier 
And don’t get me started in the Sunsets !

Heaven in Florida

Sand Dollar Unit 210 was on point! Well acquainted and modern finishes! Clean and updated! It is like home away from home! This unit has new beds and everything you need to enjoy your stay on the beach! Not to mention the Amazing Million Dollar View and Sunsets! The staff were equally amazing! They go out of their way to ensure your visit is a memorable one! Highly recommend Unit 210 for your next getaway!

Amazing Million Dollar Sunsets !

We’ve stayed here a few times, Unit 109 is fantastic. We keep returning because the location is great, the beach is clean and quiet and it’s right by the pier so we can fish. I like the pool area a lot although the building casts a large shadow earlier in the day, which can make it a little cold. Not a big deal.

They have wristbands for people that stay at the resort and they are sticklers about it. You WILL be questioned if you’re not wearing one.

The last time we stayed they tried to charge extra person fees which were completely bogus. 

Unit 109 is 2 BR. The master has a king, the second bedroom has two queen beds. We’ve stayed with my parents in the unit as well as another couple.

In this case we were bringing along our mother in law and she was going to share the second bedroom with our young daughter. They tried to charge for our daughter, we questioned why, they said because it’s assumed a COUPLE is sharing a queen bed so that wouldn’t be an extra person charge, but since it was a child sharing with an adult that’s an extra person. WTAF? Most ridiculous thing I ever heard of and we definitely pushed back and refused to pay it.

Anyway yeah we like this place a lot and will keep going back if 109 is available.

Our go-to


1.  When I made the complaint to Annette about the loudness of the children in the unit above our unit, 103, I was told that JC Resorts had never had a complaint about that family.  They were dropping things, moving furniture from 3:47 a.m. until after 11 p.m.  on 9/27/2020.

 

2.  I had to call Pam at 11 p.m. on 9/27/20 to get her to contact this family.  They continued to move furniture (loud dragging sounds) even after Pam called them.  I mean, did I need to call the police and press charges for creating a disturbance, acting in a disorderly manner, and violating noise ordinances?

 

3.  By my estimation, JC Resorts owes me $60.  I want my $60 immediately.  I will not be back to anywhere where JC Resorts because you showed favoritism to that family over my husband and myself.  I will make a review with the Better Business Bureau.  Unit 102, which we finally moved into on Monday, 9/28/20 was cheaper than the 103 unit. 

 

4.  I will no longer recommend your resort and I will NOT be back.  You are completely unprofessional.

Staff showed favoritism to another family and refused to refund my $

My wife and various members of our family have been staying at the Sandollar for many many years. The staff is very helpful the condos are very nice. there are two issues that seem to irritate us when we are there.  The first is the condo building has only one elevator which becomes very hard to call particularly on weekends when people are coming and going and dinner hour. The second is that every time we have been there there is renovation of individual condos and or the building itself. that doesn’t sound like a big deal until you have a guy running a tile chipper above below or next-door to your unit. one time they were using chippers  to scale the bottom of the parking deck ceiling.  It seems there’s always someone renovating a kitchen bathroom etc. if you’re planning on sitting around the pool quietly relaxing or reading a book these all day are a real irritation. The lawn maintenance people have never heard of electric powered tools, they seem to prefer the loudest  gas units. Sitting around the pool listening to a hedge trimmer, lawnmower or edger 10 feet away is not relaxing. I have a suggestion for the owners , Pick your slowest month out of the year and have all renovations to the building and individual units done that month and don’t book renters. Further require that your maintenance contractors use electric tools. The cost of the stay and associated fees  should buy a person a little peace and quiet since they come here to relax and enjoy their vacation. .

Great family condos, but noisy

Buyer Beware Room 107! My family has been staying at the Sand Dollar for almost a decade. By family, I mean my siblings and their families, my parents, aunts and uncles and cousins and their families as well. All total, we have around 30 people each year. As our families have grown so has the need for additional rooms. We were so excited to all be located on the first floor this year.  My sister and brother had this room booked for their families and my parents and my family are staying next door.  My sister recently had a baby and we had planned to help her as needed so she can enjoy her vacation too.  Our rooms were booked on April 10th for our vacation next week (October).  Imagine our disappointment, when my sister received a call today (Sept 26th) letting her know that the owner of this property did not want her family in the room due to the number of children and their ages (4 children and 4 adults) and the Resort has "upgraded" her room and moved her on the 4th floor.  The owner has since changed the occupancy to 6.  Highly disappointed in how this owner runs things.  Switching to another floor would not have been a big deal in May when additional rooms were still available and someone else could have switched with them so my siblings weren't sequestered by themselves.  We are not rowdy people and have a good track record at this location.  We may stay at the Sand Dollar again next year or may look into a location.  When booking be aware that your reservation only guarantees room type not actual room.  The Sand Dollar is generally top notch but this experience has left a bad impression.

***Review updated 10/04/19***After dealing with staff of the Sand Dollar and JC Resorts we were finally able to work out a solution that was satisfactory.  I can't say enough good things about the Sand Dollar in general - that's why we stay there year after year- but I won't book Room 107 in the future nor will I recommend it to family and friends.

Great Resort BuT Some Owners Are Difficult

A wonderful holiday experience.... Being just my wife and I, our visits to the Gulf Blvd can be very flexible. Usually, we phone ahead to several Condo resorts to check availability, but only book & pay for something after visiting them and taking a look at what your getting. The On-Site staff at The Sand Dollar were a pleasure to deal with. Special thanks go out to Barbara who went beyond the normal realms of service to meet our needs. Condo # 306 was beautiful. We will be back again soon.

Excellent Vacation - Excellent Help & Service.

The condo was spacious,clean and well appointed. The view was excellent! Beautiful fluffy white sand beach, clear water, pier for shade, nice pool. Good location to restaurants and stores. We were on the 5th floor with a clean set of stairs and elevator.

Fun beach trip.

We have been travelling to the area every February/March and keep coming back to JC Resorts and in particular Sand Dollar Condos.  Yes the building is older and there is only 1 slow elevator however this Gulf front property is a real gem.  Our three bedroom condo had every amenity we could possible need and was very clean upon check in.  The grounds crew, cleaning staff and front desk customer service is top notch.  Holly and her entire team need recognized for their outstanding service every time.The pool is also warm and inviting and the hot tub is one of the nicest on thie Gulf Blvd.  The sugar sand beaches and fishing pier is a real plus for both fishing and just watching boats and dolphins go by.  We were very lucky this year to see a manatee go past the pier in the Gulf ... a first for us and we had dolphins most days as well.  This beach property is top notch and there is a reason so many regulars return every year!

Fantastic area for a Wonderful family Vacation

Stayed at Sand Dollar last year. for the 1st time.  We were not disappointment.  Our condo was perfect. Nicely decorated and spotless.  Front office staff was wonderful.  Sand dollar is the perfect size, just the right amount of condo's so its not over crowded.  Great pool, next to the beach.  No complaints here.
Very close to many great places to eat.
