Welcome to our home away from home – Sand Dollar Unit A-03 - our beautiful ground floor (no steps to climb) oceanfront studio condo located on the island of dive/snorkel freedom – Bonaire. Our condo is one of the largest studios on Bonaire at about 600 square feet. It is truly our home away from home and we have added lots of the little extras that make a vacation special. The condo comfortably accommodates two adults and is most often rented by couples looking to get away fora while and relax. Please see our guest comments below.

The condo features a refreshing tropical theme throughout with a large complete newly renovated kitchen including new appliances and everything you could need to prepare your own meals. With a large renovated bathroom including a glass-block walk-in shower and for a comfortable rest a queen size bed with ample pillows with ceiling fan overhead we know you will instantly feel right at home.

For entertainment a 60 inch LG smart TV with multiple cable channels, various books, wildlife guides and island guides are all for your use. Additionally the condo includes an ultra quiet state of the art 24,000 BTU split air-conditioner capable of cooling the entire condo in a matter of minutes. We have also provided an electronic security safe for all your valuables that can accommodate a normal size laptop computer. You will find ample storage and hangers for clothing and dive/snorkel gear including a dedicated hanging/drying area on the patio so no need to leave your gear in the common dive shop area.

LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION

Quite simply, our unit is one of the closest condo units in the Sand Dollar Resort complex to the water with a screened-in patio (no bugs) and year round sunset views. Not all units can say this so please ask to avoid disappointment. From our condo you will be looking directly at the beautiful Caribbean Sea and Klein Bonaire through floor to ceiling sliding glass doors which allow for access to the screened-in patio with ceiling fan and wonderful year round views. We have provided comfortable table and patio chairs to make a nice eating and resting area on the patio. We always eat our meals, enjoy a drink, or do a little reading on the screened in patio in quiet comfort and relaxation.. The patio door provides direct access to the oceanfront promenade unlike second floor units.

Again, we feel location is important and we love ours. Our condo is the closest ground floor studio unit in the Sand Dollar Resort complex to the beach, dive center and pier but it still remains quiet, private and secure. Dive dock operated by Dive Friends are ready to help with all your shore diving and boat diving needs.

Fantastic shore diving and snorkeling is located directly in front of the Sand Dollar Resort on Bari Reef – rated the top reef in the Caribbean for variety of fish species. As our guest at Sand Dollar you will have unlimited direct access to Bari Reef for incredible morning, afternoon, twilight and night diving/snorkeling – all just a convenient short walk away. Sand Dollar Resort is centrally located on Bonaire so shopping, the town center and all dive/snorkel sites north or south are within a few minutes walk or drive. You are also only a short drive away from some of the best kite and windsurfing in the world.

Our local property management, oversees maintenance and cleanings to make your trip hassle free. We have large fresh water pool, lounge chairs, lighted tennis courts, bar/restaurant on-site and with several other restaurants, gym/spa, ice cream parlor, bank, grocery store, and shopping a very short walk away the little conveniences and forgotten necessities are right there for you. We are proud to have guests return year after year to stay with us and will do everything we can to make your stay a special one to remember. Need help with a rental vehicle, just ask and we will be happy to provide information and agency referrals as part of a vacation package.

We are not absentee owners but visit Bonaire as often as we can and listen to what past guests have to say about their stay with us. We take pride in our unit and do our best to make friends and guests as comfortable as possible. More than two adults in your group, please inquire about co-renting a second studio or 1 bedroom unit just steps away from ours. Many guests have told us they enjoy the privacy of having their own condo unit while appreciating the convenience of being so close to friends and family. Our condo books up quickly so we are sorry if it is not available for your preferred dates. If this is the case then we can help arrange a rental with a neighboring condo to meet your vacation needs. We are happy to answer any questions you might have, just send us an email. Thanks for considering our condo for your Bonaire vacation plans.

PLEASE NOTE: The Bonaire marine park, STINAPA, has changed its Nature Park Pass system. 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.

    Loved everything about the room except it could use a bit of renovation. The bed was one of the worst I ever slept in and dreaded going to bed every night. The back patio worked great for storing scuba equipment. The room location being close to the dive shop was excellent. Fix the bed and it would have been great.

    This is was our second time renting this unit. It's perfect size for a couple. We love the location in the gated community. Super short walk to the private beach and the dive shop. The condo has a nice large TV and full kitchen when you just want to chill in the condo. There is a handful of restaurants and an ice cream shop with in walking distance which is great.

    Our second stay at this condo and we will definitely return. We love it. The location is absolutely perfect. It’s a quiet part of the island (not that the island isn’t mostly quiet anyway) and right in front of a reef. The dive shop is right next door that you can walk to and there’s also a restaurant next door which is very good. If you stay at this condo, you have access to the pier. This makes diving Bari Reef super easy and night dives easier too. There is a small beach you can sit at to read or sun and beach-comb for sea glass. There are several restaurants nearby which are walking distance. The condo has everything you would need and a screened porch with an ocean view. The little covered area by the water is perfect for sunsets. Checking in and out is super easy and the front gate people are so friendly. We adore the island and this condo is our go to!

    We stayed for two weeks and had a great time. The location is perfect, close to town and restaurants, but to the north which provides easier access to my favorite dive sites. There is a nice house reef although of course most of the coral is dead these days due to the coral wasting disease but there are still a lot of fish out there and especially good for a late afternoon or night dive. The property at sand dollar is really nice and the condo location is fantastic with a great view of the ocean from the whole unit and especially from the outdoor patio. We cooked a lot of meals and the well equipped kitchen was great. The only complaints we had were about the furniture. The mattress on the bed is worn out and unsupportive/saggy. It needs to be replaced. The bed is also a bit small for two people --seemed to be a full rather than a queen and the extra room a bigger mattress would take up would be minimal in the floor plan but huge for 2 snoring divers to get a good night sleep. Additionally I found pretty much all of the chairs in the condo to be uncomfortable to sit in for more than a few minutes at a time as well. They were all kind of a cheap lightweight wicker with a thin cushion. Investing a couple thousand dollars in a new mattress and at least two comfortable chairs would go a long way to making this a perfect rental. Otherwise we loved everything about the place and would go back again.

    We had a outstanding 14 day vacation at Sand Dollar A3 condo. The condo description and pictures were accurate. We had everything we needed to relax and cook meals in the condo, it became a home away from home. The condo's screened porch and beautiful grounds made relaxing after a day of diving exceptional. This condo is close to everything you need for a Bonaire stay.

    The owner had the studio set up perfectly for our 2 week stay. Halfway through we recieved fresh bedding and towels, mopping, etc... Thanks for all the attention to details and decor. Have stayed in other, just as superb, condos with different sized groups in the past. All have been comfortable with Dive Friends and dock right next to the room, basically.

    The unit was everything we wanted and accurate to the description. We probably liked it more than we liked this particular island! Great screened porch with water view and friendly guests/owners in the other units. Ability to snorkel on reef right out front that had nice variety of fish; as well as small sandy beach to enjoy. Several restaurants in walking distance with very good food and drinks. Thank you for the use of your space.

    Got a email just two days explaining the ck in service. followed it but no one showed up . Some one left us a message from an office telling us to call them back. they said not to use the number they called on because the office would be closed. But they didn't leave a number. We eventually found someone that had a number to call. We were told that that ck in process that came on our email was many years old? so we stood in the heat for over an hour trying to figure out how to get in

    Everything you could need is there. 110 power and the little charging station was a bonus. Beautiful view. Screened in patio (just like home) affords protection from mosquitos and occasional rain shower. Walking distance to places for breakfast, lunch and dinner, gelato and a fully stocked market. Helpful host, responds quickly to requests or questions. I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else.

    Everything was great. The kitchen was well stocked and former guests left little bottles of spices and such that give you a head start on your cooking. Perfect location. Incredible snorkeling right off of the back wall. Even has a little beach. The dive shop next door is included so you can go over there and rent equipment for 40 a day for snorkeling. Easy to get around on scooters or you can rent a golf cart for about 75 a day. Very easy relaxing enjoyable vacation. We spent 7 days there.

    My wife and I just returned after ten days in A3. The condo was perfect for us. The ceiling fans and AC work great and kept us comfortable when indoors. The location in the complex is prime with great snorkeling/diving just a few steps away. The kitchen and bathroom (super shower!) did not disappoint. I can't imagine a better spot for a couple.
