Bon Bini. Welcome to Bonaire.

[NOTE: Effective July 1, 2022, Bonaire adopted the Visitor Entry Tax (VET). To avoid the long line upon your arrival at Flamingo International airport, pay the VET online at https://tourismtax.bonairegov.com/ BEFORE you leave home.

To avoid the Foreign Transaction Fee, sign up for a no-annual-fee card that does not charge this additional fee.

Wake up to bananaquits, troupials and parakeets calling. Throw open the room-darkening drapes to your stunning view of the Caribbean. Step onto your private, screened porch. See from Klein Bonaire all the way north to Brandaris, the highest point on Bonaire.
Relax with your morning coffee and breakfast on the screened
porch. Decide on the red or blue flip flops, bathing suit or shorts. Spend your whole day having fun.
Come home to beautiful sunsets while relaxing with your favorite drink on the screened porch or sundeck. Have a nice dinner. Pick your next day’s activities. Drift off to sleep in your comfy bed. Then, do it all again tomorrow.

Now you’re on Island Time. Ahhhh

We chose our piece of paradise not only for its view but also for its peaceful and convenient location. You are only 75 – 100 feet from the Caribbean with easy access to the turquoise waters of Bari Reef. You have choices – enter from our sandy beach, our sundeck via stairs to the water or our pier for swimming, snorkeling and diving. Bari, our house reef, is renowned for the greatest fish diversity in the Caribbean. Bonaire, consistently ranked as one of the best dive destinations in the Caribbean, defines shore-diving freedom.

Our studio’s location at Sand Dollar is perfect because you have:

The privacy, security, trade winds and fabulous views afforded by our second floor, oceanfront site
The services of our on-site Dive Friends Bonaire full service dive/snorkel operation at your fingertips- right next to our building. They offer guest gear storage, easy access to air, free upgrades to Nitrox, free weights and belts, rinse tanks, professional instruction, boat dives, rental gear, island tours, kayaking and much more.
Guest parking far off the street but just across our landscaped area. Traffic noise is a non-issue.
Central location to all the island’s shore diving sites - none more than a short drive along the coast.
Peace next to the sea, but proximity to shopping.
Banking, restaurants, ice cream shop, spa/fitness facility, retail dive shop conveniently next to or across the street from Sand Dollar

Our fully furnished, oceanfront studio has everything you need to make your vacation the best ever.

Some resorts provide air conditioning at extra cost. Some air condition only the bedrooms. Our quiet air conditioning system cools the entire condo. But, you might not even need it. It’s amazingly comfortable with only fresh breezes. Because of our orientation and height above the sea, we have consistent Trade Winds for natural cooling. They flow into the condo through the window and full size screen door and out the 9-foot wide sliding glass doors across the screened porch. Ceiling fans on the porch, over the bed & couch and in the bath add to your comfort.

Want to enjoy Bonaire with more friends or family We can arrange the rental of a similar, nicely appointed adjacent to and near our condo. You’ll enjoy being so close, but have the privacy of your own place.

We love Sand Dollar Condo Resort for all of its advantages;
Longest continuous beach frontage of any Bonaire resort
Eddy’s Sunrise Restaurant/Bar on site, a great place for meals or a casual drink by the pool. (By advance reservation, only.)
Close to many other restaurants for a taste of all the island’s famous cuisines
Large oceanfront sundeck with charcoal barbecue pit
Recently renovated, on-site, fresh water swimming pool
Lighted tennis courts
On site security
Local property management, rentals liaison and maintenance
Mid-stay maid service and change of linens, towels available at additional cost (for 2 week-stay or longer).

This unit is truly your home away from home and we know you’ll be comfortable. Before you arrive in Bonaire, we can help you with truck rentals, grocery locations, resources and directions. Once you’re there, our on-island management team will take care of any needs during your stay. And, before you head home, we hope you’ll post your comments so we can make your next stay even better. You’ll be thinking about your next Bonaire visit even before you leave the island!

PLEASE NOTE: The Bonaire marine park, STINAPA, has changed its Nature Park Pass system (since we left the island in March 2019!). Now, instead of purchasing the dive pass or snorkel pass from a dive shop, you must purchase it online.

There are no more plastic discs to attach to your mask or BCD. Instead, you get a paper permit that you must keep with you when you head to the water.

You should purchase the Nature Pass (snorkeling or diving) permit before you leave home, print a couple of copies and keep one copy at the condo. (It is my understanding that the dive shops are not printing the permits for our guests so you must bring your permit with you.) That way, if the copy you take with you gets damaged or destroyed, you will have a spare. Here is the link for purchasing a Nature Pass.

    The location was excellent. We were just feet from the beach where we could snorkel in a well-preserved reef. The condo was clean and well maintained. We particularly liked the decor with photos of fish and other sea life. We love to cook, and the kitchen had just about everything we needed. I also appreciated how easy it was to contact Laura, who responded almost immediately.

    It was clean, well furnished, and comfortable. Everything worked that way it was supposed to, including the bathroom, the kitchen and the air conditioning. I felt perfectly safe going to and from my space. Kudos to the owners and the manager. I loved the close proximity to beautiful beach and clean water for swimming. The grounds were beautiful and kept immaculate.

    We have always enjoyed the ocean views, and this one was perfect for us. We love to watch the ocean sunsets, and this property is perfect for this as well. We spent wonderful mornings having coffee watching the day evolve and then enjoyed the islands many shore dive locations and then sunset dinners from the balcony. We would definitely return.

    Great location with fantastic views. We had dive trips scheduled with Dive Friends and they picked us up from the dock for our daily dives we snorkeled in the afternoon. The condo is close to restaurants that we walked to and cooked several meals in the kitchen that had the tools we needed. Laura provided information before the trip that we found valuable in navigating an island we hadn't been to before. The only comment my husband made was the size of the TV...as he gets older he needs a bigger screen..lol! Overall a great trip. One last note, we determined a resort next to the condo offers day passes to the resort, we investigated since we had a later flight and were looking for something to do after check-out.

    This place was great for my wife and I. It is well maintained, and the view is awesome (especially sunsets). The dive shop next door was very convenient. We only cooked one dinner (fresh caught snapper), but there were plenty of pots, pans, and utensils. The owner provided lots of info on the island, check in was very easy,, and check out was even easier.

    My wife and I had an amazing stay at the A4 condo. The host and property manager were very friendly, responsive, and super helpful. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. The screened-in porch was great place to eat dinner and watch the sunset. The property was centrally located and within 30 minutes (often much closer) to everything we wanted to see. And the snorkeling was outstanding, particularly Bari Reef, where we saw turtles, eagle rays, tarpon, and dozens of other fish! If we return to Bonaire, we would love to stay here again!

    Laura and Vann's condo was in the perfect location for our 17 day vacation. It is close enough to the action of Kralendijk or far enough away for a relaxing quiet vacation. There are at least 6 restaurants less than a 10 minute walk and several within 5 minutes! We stayed in Westpunt, Curacao a month prior and I cooked a lot so having dining options within walking distance was a bonus. But if you want to prepare your dinners the kitchen is fully equipped. The queen bed is comfortable, as well as the sofa. I came down with a virus and wanted to stay away from my husband, so I slept on the sofa until he caught the virus!. Although it is a sofa bed, the bed itself was not comfortable. I'm 5'5 and the sofa was really comfortable. The only thing I missed was a smart tv. There were a few channels in several languages, but no way to watch movies or review my video and pictures of the day. The beach is great for an afternoon swim and the snorkeling is good for seeing fish. We don't dive, but if you do, the divers we spoke to said the reef from the shore in front of the property was amazing. Every night we watched the lights of those doing night dives. Thank you Laura and Vann for sharing your piece of paradise with me and Steven. We hope to come back soon!!!

    Nice, well maintained, oceanfront place. Well stocked kitchen with every appliance you would need plus pots pans, storage containers, dishes, cups, silverware. This is our 2nd stay here and we love it. Air conditioning works great but you dont need it all of the time with the nice breezes. Close to the dive pier which is a huge plus. Has a great private beach and many lounge chairs and some picnic tables. This is a very laid back quiet place to stay that doesnt get crowded. Very safe and secure place. There are many dinning options in walking distance and is very close to a new water accessible park with a few very good food stands. We love all of it!

    We just returned from a week of diving in paradise. It was wonderful having dive friends within a few steps and our own pier to Bari Reef. We also loved the small private beach area. Pierre was so very helpful and friendly. He definitely goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. The condo had everything we needed. We cooked once or twice each day and enjoyed Coffee and breakfast On the balcony.

    The condo had everything we needed. It is close enough to downtown that you can be at a nice restaurant within ten minutes, but far enough away that you always feel peaceful and unhurried. Bonuses are that you have good snorkeling and diving right out your back door, and that owner Laura is super helpful and responsive to every question. It is actually our second time here, and we would not hesitate to book again.

    Check-in was seamless, Pierre met us there on time and walked us through the property and amenities. We love to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a variety of different types of meals. Place was clean and had a great view of the sunsets. (6 ice trays, great thinking). We had a little self created issue with the safe and Pierre came over immediately while we were out to dinner and figured it out. OK, getting old sucks and the memory was a little off :-). Items of note: You have to pay for shopping bags at the grocery store, so they provided a basket by the front door that has shopping bags in it. Also, Dive friends is next door and I highly recommend getting your tanks from them, pilus you can use their wash tanks late at night if you night dive. Lastly, even though we did not dive it this time, hit the Bari reef right out your front door. In a nut shell, loved the place and would stay their again.
