Best Stay Ever!!!

The Sand Dollar is the perfect place to stay. It was only my wife and I - however its big enough for a group of 8. The 2 of us enjoyed the perfect getaway in this beautiful home. As we spent time indoors we constantly found ourselves mentioning how perfect everything was and spotless clean. We are not indoor pet people - allergies - and usually do not book rooms that allow pets. Neither of us ever had a single issue at this location. WELL DONE!!! Bolivar Vacations has a new fan.
