Dear Potential Guest,
Thank you for visiting
our Sand Dollar Owner Rentals website. We personally own two oceanfront units
in the complex which we rent …a studio and a two bedroom …both on
the top floor. In addition, we also rent other owner's units at similar discounts.
For those of you who have never been to Bonaire, here are a few basic facts:
The weather is always a pleasant 85 degrees (F) year round, which when combined with annual rainfall of only 22" and lovely trade wind breezes…….practically guarantees you perfect weather every day ! It should also be noted that Bonaire is outside the hurricane belt, so you rarely have to worry about this either. The island is approximately 24 miles long and 3-7 miles wide with a population of approximately 10,000. The local currency is the Netherlands Antilles guilder (NAF) which is approximately 1.77 guilders to the U.S. dollar. The restaurants on the island are many and varied in cuisine and price. Bonairians are very friendly people and a casual dress code prevails everywhere.
The water/diving in Bonaire
offers some of the finest diving/snorkeling in the Caribbean-and right from
your doorstep ! The Sand Dollar complex is one of the newest and most luxurious
on the island and is situated on an uncrowded 10 plus acres that is beautifully
landscaped.
Our studio (A-4) is located
on the top floor and comes fully furnished with air conditioning (although
you rarely need it due to the lovely trade wind breezes), a modern fully equipped
kitchen, color TV with cable (Show Time, etc.), a stereo with CD player, a
queen sized Murphy hideaway bed, a pull out queen sofa bed and daily maid
service. The unit can accommodate approximately 2 adults / 2 children. The
kitchen includes an electric range/oven, microwave, dishwasher, double stainless
sink, and a refrigerator. Naturally, you can expect to find all the conveniences
of home: a toaster, blender, coffee maker and much more. The unit itself is
tastefully decorated with lacquered wicker furniture, and smoked glass/wicker
tables. One end of the unit faces west, directly towards the ocean (only 60
feet away) offering a splendid view of the nightly sunsets…..which you
can enjoy from your own private balcony. For your private dining pleasure,
we have added a patio table with chairs on the balcony. In the morning you
will wake to the sound of waves lapping gently on the beach and the songs
of tropical birds.
Our two bedroom unit (B-10)
comes with the same amenities as our studio unit plus a few more. The master
bedroom has a king sized bed and a second color TV with remote. The rear bedroom
has two twin beds. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans and air conditioning. A
VCR and a small library has been added in the living room for your pleasure.
The exterior patio is spacious (approximately 10 by 50) and offers a lovely
view of the water overlooking Klein Bonaire. Patio furniture including a dining
table seating four and lounge chairs has been added.
Our full service on-site
PADI shop…Wanna Dive…..offers a wide choice of daily boat dives,
snorkeling trips, sea kayak rentals, dive & photo equipment rentals and
of course….. a full line of PADI certified instruction. Day or night
dives can be made directly from our beach at any hour, as your tank is available
24 hours a day.
The Sand Dollar Resort
has two excellent restaurants right on the premises. The newly opened "Sand
Dollar Terrace Restaurant" is located by our fresh water pool and offers
a full menu three times a day with specials. Evening meals often include some
form of music or entertainment. The "Den Laman Restaurant", which
serves dinner only, offers a variety of local cuisine and daily fish specials.
They are located on the water by our dive shop and offer nice dining in a
relaxed atmosphere with sunset views. In addition, there are many other restaurants
that are only a short walk away.
The complex itself has
a large fresh water swimming pool with our newly opened Terrace Restaurant,
two tennis courts (with lights for night play) available for your free use…..not
to mention our private beach, where you or your children can play and swim.
After a swim you can rinse off in the outside showers or barbecue a hamburger
in one of the permanent grills by the ocean. We have an on-site mini-shopping
mall featuring a grocery store and ice cream shop. There are also a variety
of children's activity programs such as "Ocean Classroom" and the
"Sand Penny Club"…which offer special daily activities for
children of all ages. Babysitting can easily be arranged through our office….so
the whole family can be assured of having a great week ! If you need more
details on any of these programs please ask.
We also have access to
a variety of other sized condo units….at similar discounts…..so
whether it be a one, two, or three bedroom unit you need just let us know.
We can arrange for accommodations for any sized group.….just ask.
