I came down from NH on local business for a couple of days in mid September and the area was great, a bit mellow this time of year but the hotel is fine. A short walk to the beach, local amenities, food, bars, etc, all a short drive away(try Jack's in Beaufort)! The accommodations are simple but clean and affordable,... More

We stay a the Sand Dollar at least one a year, and we're never disappointed! The rooms are clean, the owners are lovely people who are always there to help, the rates are reasonable, and it's close to the beach! Atlantic Beach is just a real gem; the atmosphere is very relaxed, and we always feel at home. In fact,... More

I have stayed here for a number of years now. Sometimes just my girls and I go, sometimes one of them brings a friend. My niece came and joined us part way through the week another year. I have never had a single regret about coming here, other than having to leave to head home! This year, we had our... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Sand Dollar this past week and really enjoyed every second. The owners were very friendly and courteous and made us feel very welcome. The efficiency apartments are more than enough room for 2 people and are stocked with all the home amenities you'd possibly need on a vacation, especially kitchenware. The rooms are... More

My wife and I had never been to the Atlantic Beach area and decided to stay at the Sand Dollar Motel. Our decision was based on cost, location and room. We wanted a room to cook a few meals in and was close to a beach access. I dive and usually stay by a dive shop but there isn't any... More

The perfect no frills place to stay at the beach. Extremely clean room/bathroom and nice owners. Short walk to public beach access and it's not crowded. I've stayed at more expensive places and not had as good a stay and at the beach for a few days this was perfect. Rooms are small but there is a refrigerator and some... More

I have been staying at the dollar since 2009. The location is perfect for me and my family. It is just a short walk to the beach and a short drive to anything you want to do on the crystal coast. The owners are wonderful and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

We stayed for three days and loved every minute of it! Had booked a room with double beds, but when we arrived we were offered the king suite. It was so spacious and clean! Now we don't think we would even want any other room! We'll request the same one next time we book. Very close to the beach. We... More

This review is not truthful and should be remove from TripAdvisor. This woman was deceitful to us as soon as she came to check in. She had insufficient funds on her credit card and could not pay for her full stay. Her reservation was for 5 people and she showed up with more people than we allowed in a room,... More
