We had reserved for one week starting August 3rd, 2016. We made the reservations in October of 2015. I called to confirm in late March of this year. Everything was "go." Imagine our surprise (among other things) when we arrived after traveling almost 500 miles to be told that OUR RESERVATION DIDN'T EXIST! We had a car full of luggage... More 

By accident, my husband reserved a 2 room suite at this Sand Dollar Motel when he thought he was reserving a room at the one on Ocracoke where we had stayed 2x before and enjoyed very much. He talked to the desk people on 2 occasions before we left home and found that there had been a change of management... More 

This was not what I expected. The room was small. There was no cooking equipment. The clerk tried to charges us a 15 dollar maid feed. The refrigerator was too small for one liter drinks to stand up. It is about a 1/4 mile to the beach. To sum it up, you get what you paid for, so if you... More 

We stayed in the 3 bed apartment. The entrance area is an open floor that has one bed with a love seat, TV, kitchen table for 4, kitchen area with a small stove, double sink, full size fridge. Stocked with multiple pots & pans, drainer, dishes, no need to pack any cookware. Back room has 2 beds. Very very clean.

This was our second visit to The Sand Dollar - absolutely immaculate room, great service! We are former residents of Emerald Isle, so we've known about the Sand Dollar for years. We're tickled to death to find a hotel that is well-kept and remains true to the "flavor" of that part of Atlantic Beach. It's quiet, family oriented, completely appropriate... More 

I took a shot and stayed here while I went offshore fishing last weekend. The owners were very flexible in allowing me to check in late, 8:30 PM. The room was quite clean. Everything in the room worked as it should. I found it to be very convenient, only a 10 minute short drive to the dock, restaurants, close to... More 

We stayed there for a week and loved it. Quite location, short walk to the beach. Check I was fast and went very smoothly. The room that we had was small but ok. Rooms very clean and we'll kept. We had a microwave oven, and a small refrigerator. I HIGHLY recommend this motel and that is something I don't normally... More 

My wife and I went to Atlantic Beach not only to get away but gather some intel for a future move out that way. We actually had reservations elsewhere at a motel we'd stayed at before. The week of our trip we changed our minds and decided to stay in AB for the aforementioned reasons. We were fortunate enough to... More 

I had out of state visitors and wanted to take them on a quick, last-minute trip to Atlantic Beach. Needed several rooms and decided to give the Sand Dollar a call based on other Trip Advisor reviews. I am happy I did. The owner was very accommodating and even gave me a deal on one of the rooms so we... More
