“Sand Dollar Motel strikes me as a no-frills option, where the location near the beach stands out. What I find interesting is the reports of wildly varying experiences, pointing to a place where management can make or break a stay. For those prioritizing proximity to the shore and a simple base, it's worth considering, but manage your expectations.”
