Temporary Lodging Reservations
As soon as you have a definite arrival date to Tyndall, you may call the Sand Dollar Inn and make reservations for either Billeting or TLF. Reservations for those on orders can be made at any time by calling (850) 283-4211 or DSN 523-4211, Ext. 3343/3346 or online by visiting their website here.
Pets are not permitted in lodging facility rooms; however, pet friendly TLF units are available (a $10 per day non-refundable charge). When calling to book a reservation, specify that you require a pet friendly unit. If a unit is not available, your sponsor can help you obtain a list of kennels in the area, or you can contact the local chamber of commerce or the Internet for local pet care facilities

Personal Property Shipments
Upon your arrival, contact the Traffic Management Office at (850) 283-4262. TMO is located in Building 662, and provides customer service from 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
You will need to provide a telephone number where you can be reached as soon as your shipment arrives. When you call, you will be provided the current status of your personal property shipment. As soon as you know your permanent address, call TMO and schedule a delivery date for your goods. A specific time for delivery cannot be promised, so plan to be at your residence between 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. to avoid attempted delivery charges.
If you need to arrange for another shipment to Tyndall, or if you made a do-it-yourself (DITY) move, bring your orders and all shipment documents to TMO for assistance.
