Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 5)
You will not be disappointed in this newly renovated and upgraded 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom, oceanfront condo, located on the best reef in Bonaire. Being on the 2nd floor offers many benefits such as the spectacular view you just don't get on 1st floor rooms. The trade-winds are more prevalent the higher up you go as well.
Being so close to the Sea it is very easy to go for a dive or snorkel at any time, whether it's early morning, noon, or night, and you're always going to find something different on Bari reef. We have seen more marine diversity here than all the other islands we have traveled to combined. Sand Dollar is also only one of 8 properties on the island with its own pier. Sand Dollar is also one of only 4 properties with living room AC.
You'll find all new ceramic tile flooring throughout. New in May 2017 we have enclosed the existing screened porch off the living room to add an additional 160 sq ft of living space to the first floor. We are the only condo that has this feature available for rent. Open the front door and enjoy the cooling constant trade winds through the apartment.
A brand, new kitchen with corian countertops includes all new appliances with oven, cooktop, dishwasher, American style refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. You'll find service for 12, and all of the kitchen gadgets, pots & pans, and accessories you could need if you like to cook including an indoor electric grill.
You'll also find a laptop desk in the work area. Bring your laptop or tablet to keep in touch with family & friends back home, check in with work, or review your dive photos. The office area offers a fully stocked desk with office supplies. You will also find dive guides, maps, puzzles, games and more.
Our unit contains its own dedicated fiber optic internet (best available on the island), private router, providing reliable internet, WiFi, and cable. We are one of only 7 in the complex with this hi-end cable and internet. F10 is the only rental with the highest speed internet that is available on Bonaire. You will have no trouble doing video chats, streaming movies or uploading photos to social media.
Brand new air conditioners are in the master bedroom AND in the living area. The living area air conditioner is available for a small daily fee ($10/day) to offset the high electricity costs or open the fully screened doors & windows to let the trade winds blow through. There are also newly installed ceiling fans in each room to ensure ample movement of air.
Two spacious bathrooms have been completely remodeled with walk-in showers, with adjustable one-handle showerheads and rainfall shower. Both bathrooms have brand new sinks and toilets.
