2BR · 1BA · Sleeps 6 · Pet-Friendly ($150 Fee) · Across from Manatee Public Beach · Late 2024 Renovation · Shared Heated Pool · Hammocks · Outdoor Shower · Beach Gear Provided · Boat & Trailer Parking · Shared Laundry · Dead-End Street

Important before booking: the current photos were taken before the late 2024 renovation. The new granite kitchen, fully tiled walk-in shower, fresh coastal décor, and updated furnishings are complete and in place.

Manatee Public Beach is directly across the street. The shared heated pool is steps from the unit. Hammocks are on the property for the afternoons when the pool isn't calling. An outdoor shower handles the post-beach rinse. Sand Dollar 2 is a Holmes Beach vacation rental on a quiet dead-end street where the beach, the pool, and the island are all within easy reach.

The unit was completely renovated in late 2024. New granite kitchen with modern appliances, fully tiled walk-in shower in the renovated bathroom, fresh coastal décor, and new furnishings throughout. The semi-private deck has beach gear storage — chairs, umbrella, and wagon included for trips across the street.

Two bedrooms sleep six. The master has a king bed with its own TV. The guest bedroom has two twin beds. The living room has a 55" smart TV and a sleeper sofa for the remaining guests. High-speed 1-gig WiFi. Fully equipped kitchen for meals at home. Shared laundry on the property. Linens and towels provided.

Dogs are welcome with a $150 non-refundable fee. The dead-end street and the resort layout make this one of the more comfortable pet-friendly setups in Holmes Beach.

Cafe on the Beach, Skinny's Place, and local dining are within easy walking distance. The free island trolley stops close by for exploring all of AMI without a car. Boat and trailer parking available on-site.

Sand Dollar 2 is one of four renovated units at MI Happy Place — all sharing the heated pool and grilling area.

Sand Dollar 2 requires a one-week minimum stay with parking for two vehicles.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due

You are vacationing in a residential area, please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property. Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 7 AM.

Located in Holmes Beach, this vacation home is near theme parks and near the beach. Travelers eager for a bit of culture can stop by John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Manatee Public Beach and Bradenton Beach. Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town? See what's happening at LECOM Park or IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy. Swimming offers a great chance to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding and ecotours nearby.
