18500 Gulf Blvd

Sand Dollar is a low-rise, five-story condominium complex built in 1981 on the Gulf-facing shoreline of Indian Shores, Florida. The property presents a straightforward beach-resort character with stucco construction, sliding-glass balconies and horizontal massing that keeps most units close to water-and-sky views. Unit mix skews toward multi-bedroom vacation-style condos with open floorplans, eat-in kitchens, in-unit laundry rooms and generous living/dining space; many residences include walk-in closets, crown molding, stone or quartz counters, and built-in storage. Interior circulation is served by an elevator and exterior access corridors; select units occupy corner and top-floor positions with extended balconies overlooking the Gulf, pool and pier. Common facilities emphasize outdoor coastal living: a heated saltwater pool and jacuzzi, thatched tiki-hut garden and picnic areas, covered and open barbecue spots, private fishing pier (repair plans noted), and direct beach access with outdoor showers. Exterior features also include hurricane-rated sliding doors/windows, balconies, fenced garden areas, irrigation and owner-designated storage. Parking is covered but unassigned and allocated to owners on availability; the association permits short-term rentals and maintains an on-site rental management office. Pet policies are permissive in many listings. The property’s location offers quick access to St. Pete/Clearwater attractions, dining, golf and two regional airports, positioning Sand Dollar as a well-established vacation condo community with resort-oriented services and rental income history.
