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.

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)

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.

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!

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.

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.

Booked just a one night stay on a trip up Island. I stayed at the Sand Pebbles many times when I lived on the Island in the 1970s and 1980s when it was new. It is a bit run down now outside although the rooms were clean and adequate. The kitchenette is just a fridge and microwave, no cups or utensils which was fine for us passing through but would be a surprise for a family on holiday. A small coffee maker was supplied but I prefer to make my own coffee. Had to heat the water in the micro with the coffee cup I had bought. Having said all this, the location is beautiful and I enjoyed a great walk at 7am. Stayed August 26th 2024.

The property is what it is.. it’s ok for a place to sleep close to the ocean. Rooms were older and not overly tidy. No amenities or beach access.
