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

No air conditioning was a problem our 1st night. When the smoke from Port Alberni wildfire came on our 3rd night it permeated the room and was uncomfortable. Must have come under the door and through the walls. No clock in room. fridge was wonky.....need a wedge under a leg. Beds comfortable. Loved the sliding doors to patio and the view there. Good bathroom. Easy driving distance to Qualiculm village. Friendly staff.

Beautiful ocean views

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.

We enjoyed staying at this property with a beautiful ocean view. The room was very clean and it came with a kitchen which was great for saving money on meals out. The location was excellent as it was a short drive from local shops, and exploring places like Parkville and Coombs. The service here was welcoming and friendly. Our room opened onto the lower grassy courtyard which had a lovely pond and was family friendly. The area felt safe with no annoying partiers or smokers to interfere with the enjoyment of our stay. We especially enjoyed viewing the beautiful evening sunsets.
Peaceful view.
Lovely courtyard pond.

This is a small hotel that offers slivers of the ocean view. You will not have a full ocean view from the room as this hotel makes it appear. The exterior is in poor condition. The parking is right on a highway, no elevator and no AC. Very poor customer service. Nothing for kids to do here other than explore the beach before the tide comes up. I would recommend staying somewhere with a better view of the ocean for a little more price. The rooms are redone and are comfortable.

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.
