The Sand Pebbles was exactly what we expected. A bit dated, but clean, comfortable and affordable. The view was amazing and being right on the ocean, we could watch the birds and seals. The front desk staff was super pleasant and accommodating. We will definitely be back.
Rooms were updated, beds are comfy. Bathroom could use deeper clean but wasn’t too bad. There was a New microwave oven and cable tv. Overall, we had a good stay.
Spectacular view, helpful staff, nice large rooms with a table that seats 4. The location was great.

Very shabby on the outside, torn flooring and rickety stairs. The center courtyard has been decimated by a storm
. We have stayed there numerous times but always in a room near the ocean, this time we were right by the road and it was very noisy. Don't be put off by the exterior the rooms are quite lovely.
Very happy to find this hotel for our stay. Right on the beach (high tide rocky, low tide nice and sandy), have everything you need for your stay and near by many places to go.
Little mountain lookout - must visit place to see unbelievable views be very careful, super high not for people with kids too dangerous.

We can appreciate the fact that this dear building is a beautiful, old soul. Upgrades have been done and are in progress. We enjoyed a lovely sleep, and woke up to the sound and vibrations of the waves coming in. Our suite must have been far away from the water heater, but patience brought us a hot shower in the end. The lady at the front desk was delightful. Thank you!

Room renovations were well done and room was clean. As noted in other reviews, the outside is dated and needs work.
The property has misleading photos. Not showing overall state of the building. The building needs some serious remos. spider and bugs everywhere. We got the wrong room compared what we booked. The property owner said they can't do much about that. We booked a double room with kitchen however the room had no kitchen. Yje housekeeping only changed the towels. The sink was clogged.
The hotel said they only have one housekeeper and cannot change the sheets the bedding had blood stains. The curtains were hard to shut as the rod had tape on them to keep it together. The stairs leading to the beach was not in safe condition (there was a sign saying use it at your own risk)
The view is amazing but it’s time to put some money into that motel.

This place reminded us of a 1980’s motel. Definitely needs updating. The facilities are average at best however you cannot beat being right on the ocean. There are several restaurants within a 10-20 minute walk along the sea wall.

They have not maintained the carpet outside the doors of the rooms. torn carpet. The rooms inside were very nice and renovated. We loved the ocean view from our room.
I honestly did enjoy my stay overall, but I would not ever stay in the ground level again. The people upstairs of us were up at about 5 am both mornings and we could hear them stomping around. That was truly frustrating, but the location, the inn itself was very nice.
Hosts were terrible, left property and I want my money back. Struggling with Expedia and the sand pebbles inn. The rooms were absolutely disgusting, mold in the bathroom, spilled coffee stains on the side tables, dirt on the floor, kitchen was a mess, they said the rooms were clean and it definitely wasn’t touched. Place is a disgrace and the hosts act easy to deal with but refuse to pay money back. Didn’t even stay the night and they charged me anyway. Went to a better hotel down the road. Don’t waste your time and money at this place.

Great location - beach, shopping, walking trails and parks all quick and easy to access. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, not very soundproof. The highway and nextdoor guests were quite noticeable, though things quiet down overnight.
