DO NOT BOOK sand pebbles Inn I recently booked 2 rooms for 2 nights at this Inn for vacation because I saw it had a promotion going on and it was located at a very convenient location. The promotion brought the price down to $99 per night for those 2 rooms, which totaled $529. I gave them my credit card info to pay after my stay however, after checking the statements on my card, they overcharged me $100. I have called the company several times but staff told me they couldn't refund the $100, they said they would tell the manager but I've waited 7 days as of April 30, and still no response. Not to mention the state of the Inn was also lacking. They have very old and clunky appliances that barely work. My family of 4 didn't even have places to sit because only three chairs in the room but 1 was broken. The overall state of the room shows how little they cared about maintaining a clean living space as there were countless insects roaming around. Please don't make the same mistake I do, even if you do plan on staying here DO NOT give them your credit card information because they WILL charge you whatever they want. read more

If there was a negative star option, this place would win 1st prize. :( However, the view was decent when you walked out of the patio door. We needed to find a place that was pet friendly. Having spent a few days on the Island from Sidney, Parksville and then Qualicum Beach, choices were limited. The rooms? Yikes, one of the beds had an arch in the middle and we told this to the front desk... their reply "well, no one else has ever complained" WTF???? Why not take the 2 minutes to come up to the room and see? The kitchen outlet didn't work, the seals were rotten along the countertop. Speaking of the countertop - it was hot from the heat generated from the weird 70's fridge. Dial was missing from the stove/oven contraption. Oh, if you don't clean your dishes, they actually have the audacity to charge you an extra $25 cleaning fee !!!!! WTF????? The bed was "kind of" made up. Don't get me started on the carpets.. The rooms are not worth more than $50/night. $49 to walk out and see the view and $1 to sleep. I wish I could say something better, but alas, I can't.. It has a wonderful private waterfront view but needs a complete reno. Until then? We will never come back!!!!! read more

Cute, quiet motel/inn right on Qualicum Beach . . . . Room 108 corner suite was bright, lots of windows with two balconies and 180 degree sweeping ocean and mountain viewscapes all the way to the mainland east and north to Mt. Washington . . . . The suite was roomy and comfortable, a bit dated, but I liked it just the same. The bathroom really dated, but clean. A mini kitchen if you want to cook, otherwise The Beachhouse Restaurant and patio is right beside. Its literally right on the beach, the ocean at high tide hits the Inn's cement breakwater. Shallow and warm for summertime swimming, chaise lounges at the edges for relaxing. A crashing surf through the night's high tide was good to sleep to. I really loved it - just lazing in the water and watching the sun set on the balcony. Friendly, family owned. Good value and a comfortable room. I'll be back . . . read more

My husband and I wanted a quick break out of town and decided to take the ferry to the Island and to a new destination (to us), Qualicum Beach. The Sand Pebbles Inn was our base for three days. The accommodation offered was very adequate, the room spotless, and the price right. The room's decoration is a little dated and that is fine by me - the amount of waste created by frequent hotel renovations is mind boggling. We really enjoyed the oceanfront location and the lawn chairs to read and relax in after a couple of hikes in the morning. I should add that the bedding was very comfortable. From online reviews I was expecting a friendlier welcome: we didn't need anything from the managers, but no help was offered either. But it was fine with us, I'm sure if we had had questions they would have helped us out. Be aware that, unavoidably in this location, the road is very close by and in the busy times of day it makes it less enjoyable to sit on the balcony. We are big on walking so we hiked up to the Qualicum Town Centre (about 25 minutes uphiill), and there were convenient locations for dinner (Beach House Restaurant) and breakfast (Old Dutch Inn) within a few hundred meters of the inn. read more

A couple friends and I spent 1 night at the Sand Pebbles Inn and were pleasantly surprised by the hospitality and service. We were drawn to hotel by its prime beachfront location. The building is a bit on the older side, but the rooms were comfortably appointed and very clean except for the carpets. The highlight was watching the sunset from the lounge and adirondack chairs and chatting it up with the owners who are extremely friendly and helpful. read more

This is such a gem of a find for us. It's the perfect family friendly getaway we have been looking for! Tranquility and peacefulness only begin to describe this place. The owners went above and beyond and the hospitality can't be beat. The staff is so friendly and caring. They seem to be happy working here. It's actually more like a family atmosphere than a place of business. Our daughter loved playing with the owners son. I just can't say enough good things about this place. Will definitely be staying here again! read more

It's a motel, but a five star motel. Right on the water, very easy reservation and check in processes with folks willing to field all our questions. Clean, and well-situated for a post ferry stopover on the eastern shore of Vancouver Is,and before heading across island to the other coast. read more

we LOVED this motel, we are from Wash state and decided to just drive and see what we could find, we thought we would stay in parksville, but Parksville is VERY expensive to get a water view, and all the other motels did not have a view of any kind, so on we drove...I was getting worried, no place to stay..we saw the visitor center for Qualicum Beach and stopped, they were SO helpful, they had a list of motels with available rooms....we stopped in the first one, Sandpebble in and was so glad we did. We were so exhausted from traveling since saturday morning...ferries etc...The staff, Stacy and Paul, were the most helpful managers ever. It was Sunday afternoon and my husband really wanted to watch the Seahawk game, Stacy suggested several places to watch the game, as it works out, we were able to watch it on TV...Stacy also printed out a menu from a local pizza place that delivers...what a life saver, all we wanted to do was sit and watch the view..and the game!!! was so nice. Again, being from the states, where we are miles per hour and miles, the kilometers etc confused us. Stacy, being the efficient gal that she is, looked up conversions for me and told me what we should be driving re speed limits. The view from every room is incredible, we were so glad we found this place!!!!! The beds and bedding were so comfortable. Others had said that the rooms were a little dated, but thats fine with me also.....so looking forward to going back!!! read more
