🌊 Welcome to Sand Dollar 5 – Your Bright & Breezy East Beach Getaway!

If you're dreaming of a Gulf Shores escape that’s close to everything but still feels like your own cozy coastal hideaway, Sand Dollar 5 is the perfect spot. Located on East Beach Blvd, this cheerful two-story condo puts you just a short stroll from some of the area’s most iconic favorites—Sea-N-Suds, Pink Pony Pub, The Hangout, Mikee’s Seafood, Gulf Island Grill, and even Waffle House right next door (midnight waffles Yes, please! 🧇😄).

And here’s something special: Sand Dollar 5 is one of the few units in the entire complex with an actual Gulf view! While it's not beachfront, you’ll enjoy those sparkling water glimpses right between the buildings—perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.

    We would stay here again. A bit loud at night from people on the streets.Top bunk bed a bit creeky - but we have a restless sleeper. Prompt communication with Host. Need to bring extra toilet paper, beach towels, and quarters for the clothes washing machines. I would recommend for the cost.

    WE HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE AT THE SAND DOLLAR 5, WE HAD PLENTY OF ROOM FOR EVERYONE (7 ADULTS,1BABY). THE CONDO HAD ALL OF THE NECESSITIES THAT YOU WOULD NEED TO GET YOUR VACATION STARTED. POOL WAS NICE AND CLEAN, AND EVEN THE BBQ AND PICNIC AREA OUT BY THE POOL WAS NICE AND CLEAN. BEACH WAS A QUICK AND SIMPLE 3-5 MINUTE WALK. RESTUARANTS AND BARS WERE ALSO IN WALKING DISTANCE. OVERALL WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND WOULD RECOMMEND SAND DOLLAR 5 AND WE WILL BE STAYING AGAIN SOON! THANKS, JEFF
