About this property

Blue Zone @ Sand Dollar - Luxury suite in a beachfront location

THIS IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER SAND DOLLAR APARTMENT!

This high-end 2200+ sqft apartment was designed as the primary residence of Sand Dollar's developer. It's a 3 bedroom condo converted into a 2 bedroom with immense living spaces.

Chosen by our guests as the best 2 bedroom oceanfront apartment in Bonaire. Our guests say that it is “peaceful”, “has breathtaking views”, “luxurious”, “private”, “spacious” and “diver friendly.”

It is private - it's the whole second floor of the building. And we're in front of the other Sand Dollar buildings, only 16 feet away from the sea with panoramic views from every window. You can't get any closer!

The Blue Zone was recently renovated and has a new kitchen, bathrooms, furniture, tiles, doors & windows.

The apartment is cool and breezy and completely screened in - mosquito free.

Full time night time security guards patrol the premises.

Both bedrooms have air conditioning and ceiling fans and have king size beds & en suite bathrooms.

The kitchen is fully equipped with black granite countertops, dishwasher, oven, oversized cooktop, coffee machine, blenders, toasters, microwave... the list goes on.

Internet, wifi and cable tv is also included.

A local cell phone will be made available to you.

There is a television in each bedroom and an IPhone/Ipod speaker dock in the living room. There is a washing machine, digital safe, iron and hair dryer.

For rentals 2 weeks and longer, there is a weekly cleaning service included, where towels and linens are changed.

The reef is right in front and it's a Bonaire classic. According to years of REEF surveys, Bari Reef, as it is called, has more biodiversity than other reefs in Bonaire. Your morning snorkel will be great, your daytime and night dives will be exceptional.

Sand Dollar Resort is the largest oceanfront community in Bonaire with long pathways along the waterfront. Unlike many Bonaire apartments, there are no roads or public access between you and the water. And it's quiet! The sounds of development are elsewhere.

The resort facilities include:
- shore diving and snorkeling in front
- swimming pool with pool-side bar/restaurantt
- outdoor grill and dining facilities
- ocean platform with recliners for sunning
- outdoor showers and washrooms
- two tennis courts

Right next to the resort are several 5 star PADI dive shops... Bonaire Dive Friends (Sand Dollar/DenLeman), Wannadive (Eden Beach) as well as Buddy Dive (at Buddy Dive).

There are many fine restaurants within a 5 minute walk from the apartment. There is a world class spa, gym and physiotherapy centre just across the street with morning and evening fitness / yoga classes.

You’ll see many photographs and paintings on the walls of the apartment. All of the works are for sale, should you like any of them.

One of the king size beds can be changed to 2 twin beds on request.

Art gallery by the ocean.
The Blue Zone is filled with under water photography and original paintings which is amazing. The unit has everything a traveler needs. Wonderful grounds crew. We've stayed at Sand Dollar 6 yrs now and love it!

Wonderful Place to Stay
We stayed in this unit for a week and really enjoyed it. The place was very clean and well appointed. The kitchen had everything thing you could need and it is a large unit. Every window you look out there f you see the water. The breeze coming through the screened windows is amazing and keeps the place nice and cool even during the hottest times of the day. We never needed the air conditioning in the bedroom. You are just steps away from swimming in the ocean. Lots of fish right in front of unit and very easy snorkeling. We have stayed in many rentals all over the world and this one ranks very high on the list. All the rooms are filled with beautiful art work created by the owners. Short drive into town and restaurants. We never used the pool. Highly recommend!

Great location!
This is a beautiful, comfortable, well thought out rental that includes a very detailed book describing how things work, suggestions for restaurants, massage, snorkeling sites etc. Snorkeling in front of the condo was a treat for a quick afternoon or morning dip, or for an extended swim. Both the owner & local caretaker were very responsive. We stayed for 2 weeks, this is a great rental & we would not hesitate to return. Thanks so much. Michelle (Feb. 2023)

BEST Bonaire Vaca Ever!!
Catherine’s condo is absolutely fantastic - location, location, location! One of our fav dive spots is right outside the condo, ease of walking to Dive Friends pier for boat diving/gear storage, makes it ideal. Then quiet evenings enjoying fantastic trade winds, ocean views and simply gorgeous artwork makes this the dream vaca! Condo is a home, every convienence +, oustanding in every respect. ❤️💕 our time and can’t wait to come back!! Thanks Catherine for sharing your wonderful home!!

It's a 10
Blue Zone @ Sand Dollar is amazing. This is the second time I have stayed at this property. I am so lucky it was available. The dedicated dive locker and cart was a luxury we used every day. No need to hang gear all over the place to dry. This 2 bedroom unit is very large with tons of seating areas. Being on the Second Floor, I always felt safe. The condo is beautifully decorated with photos and art created by the owners. Blue Zone has everything you need for an amazing vacation. I can't wait to return!
