Why this property? This property will make you want to stay in and enjoy the backyard Oasis!
With its year round east-west sun the ladies can sun bathe, swim in the pool, or enjoy the meditation garden. The kids can play a little put put, hit the pool, or the trampoline, while Dad grills and chills in a Hamock chair.
In the evening the family can take a stroll through our safe neighborhood to get a burger or an ice cream at the nearby plaza built in 2023 with Burger Fi, Kanes Chicken, and more. Golf carts and boats are rented nearby (we have an extra driveway designated for trailers, boats, and RVs)

Arcelia L.A paradise that everyone should enjoy.
I don't know where to start it's been almost a year since we stay (2023 August) at the amazing Sand Dollar paradise, and I don't have words to describe it, the pictures and the description doesn't make justice of the place, Cristal and Scott were so helpful so easy to talk and they were available and happy to answer all my questions, they covered everything and we feel like home, we will definitely be back. Thank you for everything.

Danny F.Family Vacation
I would like to start off by thanking both Scott and Crystal for making our first trip to Clearwater a memorable and enjoyable experience. All questions and requests were answered in record fashion. From the moment we entered the home, we felt at home! The home is spacious, very clean and organized. Not to mention the pool is a big plus! It is very well situated, near all stores and restaurants, not to mention short drive to surrounding beaches. Thanks again Scott and Crystal, we will most definitely be back and recommend your home to our family and friends.
