Great place to stay and watch the ocean. When the tide comes in, the waves crash on the stone wall and when the tide is out, the beach is great. We saw a seal, blue herrons, and other sea birds.
I have stayed here multiple times over the years. Now all renovated, though the outside still needs a good coat of paint. I still love coming here. Best view in town.

Great water, fun property. The room was large and clean. Really enjoyed our stay.
Nice view of the ocean.
Reasonably priced and unit had a small kitchen.
Front area parking is on the busy road. Caution when getting and out of parking spaces.
Friendly and helpful staff.

Great stay! Needs to be fixed in back of the hotel. (Ocean did a number on the sea wall and exterior back walls. Great front desk ladies! You are right on the beach!! Excellent time!!
Being on the oceanfront was the best but the beach was pretty rocky. Beautiful views and nice lawn to relax on however there weren’t enough lawn chairs. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the rooms have been redone and they were really nice and comfortable and clean. There’s an excellent restaurant a couple blocks away.
Loved that it was a shoreline property. Nice green space and outdoor seating to enjoy the view and scenery. Nice to sit outside our room and watch the sunset. Would have been nice to have air conditioning or at least a lockable screen door to allow air to come in. Double beds made it tight for a family of four
Interior was tastefully updated with notably high quality fixtures.

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.
