Testimonials from some of our current
LBI Rental Homeowners:
Sam and her team at Sand Dollar do an amazing job managing the rental of our home. They have an outstanding relationship with the tenants, and we have many of the same people return. Sand Dollar makes renting easy. ~ GM Harvey Cedars
I would like to state how pleased we have been with Sam Sepanak handling our rental from year to year. She was available to offer information on businesses when I needed the referral for a HVAC company or Rug Cleaning company. Her professionalism and kindness not to mention patience when I am dealing with an emergency is excellent. We have always been very happy with the families who rent our home. ~MD Ship Bottom
My husband and I have been very happy with Sand Dollar Real Estate for the last 15 years; first as renters and now as home owners who rely on Sam and the Sand Dollar team to show our home and carefully vet potential seasonal renters. Sam has gone over and above to make sure all bases are covered for us homeowners while also being an excellent resource for those searching for the right beach week(s) for their family vacations. If you are looking for professional, caring, LBI knowledgeable Realtors, Sand Dollar is your best bet! ~ MLK North Beach
I have been using Sand Dollar Real Estate for my rental properties in Surf City and Beach Haven, and my experience has been outstanding. Sam is always incredibly responsive and goes above and beyond to assist whenever needed. The team works hard to ensure both owners and tenants are well taken care of, making the entire rental process smooth and stress-free.
Sand Dollar’s commitment to personal service really stands out—they are available seven days a week, and even provide direct contact for after-hours issues, so I always feel supported. They take the time to personally interview tenants to ensure a good match for my properties, which gives me peace of mind as an owner. Their local expertise and dedication to both owners and renters make them a top choice for anyone looking to rent or manage property on LBI.
I highly recommend Sand Dollar Real Estate for anyone seeking a reliable, proactive, and caring rental agency in the area. ~ CP Surf City and Beach Haven
We’ve had a professional relationship with Sand Dollar Real Estate for over 8 years and we’ve always had quality renters, some who come back year after year. We highly recommend Sam Sepanak and the Sand Dollar team. They are qualified professionals who value their clients ~ RM The Dunes
We are happy to have the opportunity to comment on the excellent summer rental service that we receive from Sand Dollar Realty. We have owned a rental property for 30 years. Since we also occupy the unit off season, we are very aware of the way that the rental system is monitored and serviced. Every challenge that we have encountered has been addressed promptly and competently. Kudos to Sand Dollar ~ HB Ship Bottom
We have used Sand Dollar to rent our property for the past seventeen years. The whole Sand dollar team has always found us great tenants, managed the rentals perfectly and was always there for any and all issues. Their experience on Long Beach Island is amazing! The are by far the best real estate and rental company to use without question. I love the whole team! ~ BB North Beach Haven
Sand Dollar Real Estate has been our realtor on LBI since 1984. We are now working with our “third generation of ‘Sepanaks’ to manage our property. Since our original home purchase in 1984, rentals there through 2011, the sale of that home and the purchase of another in 2012 and rentals on the new home since 2013 (had to recover from Superstorm Sandy), Sand Dollar has been there for us as an advisor, recommender of contractors when work was needed, an ear to discuss improvements and a wealth of information on the LBI Real Estate. Their Market Trends newsletter enabled us to keep up with the market and better manage one of our largest assets. Above all, Sand Dollar has been a friend. ~ LB Holgate
My wife and I have used Sam Sepanak and Sand Dollar as our rental agent for eight years. Working with her has been a pleasure and very seamless. She handles the vetting and year over year follow up with our renters and many of them are satisfied repeat tenants. We couldn’t be happier with her work and can highly recommend Sam and Sand Dollar Real Estate for your summer rental needs ~ FC Surf City
I never had an experience like this with other agencies…You are proactive about rentals, not reactive…Thank you!!!! ~ LK Barnegat Light

I have been coming to LBI since I was born but this was the first time my family rented from Sand Dollar Real Estate. The entire process went smooth and seamless, and we loved the house we rented. Would definitely rent from them again! A.C.
I just want to say that I really like you and your real estate agency. The experience I used to have with the other person I used to rent from in the other house was so unprofessional. Thank you again for such a great experience! M.Y.
