    Just across the street

    It was clean and quiet. I would stay here again. Right across the road from the ocean.

    Beach front view

    I always came to cambria every summer growing up ! We decided to give this place a shot and well for us it was 5 stars ! Never have issues here. The complementary breakfast is good ! My only picky self is I wish it came with hash browns but over all great portion size ! I love having beach front view with our little patio. I will continue coming here ! Everyone has different experiences but ours has always been great and wonderful. Front desk is good. I believe her name is Kathleen. She was very sweet and inviting to us

    2nd day at Sand Pebble Inn. Cozy comfortable hotel. Breakfast was delicious. Our side room had a nice view of the ocean.

    Did not have any issues what so ever. We checked in a little after 6pm but sunset wasn't until a little after 8pm. So had plenty of time to get settled in. Reception is in the back where a lot of the parking is at. Kathleen at the front desk checked us in. She was very sweet and friendly. We paid for the ocean/beach room. She put us in 219. There was a little couch that was in front of the window you could open to the outside. You could hear the waves crashing all night. The inn is in great shape. I would stay here again but longer than a day.

    Stayed here for the second time and had another great stay. We took advantage of the Black Friday sale last November and got 40% off our booking. We booked the King Partial view room (214) and was surprised how great the view was! The room was immaculate, bed was comfy, nice to have a walk-in shower, roomy bathroom vanity, microwave, fridge, and keurig coffee maker. Cookies and free bottles of water in the room too. Hot egg wraps for breakfast delivered to your room. Faux fireplace heater kept the room really toasty. Decent wifi and was able to watch movies with our Firestick with no buffering. Decent TMobile cellular signal too. Squeegee and towels to help wipe your car windows are a nice touch. Very friendly staff. We've stayed in six different places on Moonstone beach over the years and the Sand Pebble and their sister hotel, the Blue Dolphin, are our favorite Inns.

    Lupe at the front desk gives side eye and a nudge to other gal when I give my name. Never asked for my ID to confirm. Other gal immediately pulls out a calculator and begins adding feaverishly. Lupe asked me several times if I was rooming alone. Only thing I could think of, paid via Hotels.com as the other gal was busy on the calculator. Was never told about the ammenities of the hotel. Room was super cute! View of ocean, windows open all the way! Cookies next to coffee pot with plenty of Keurig pods (strong). Tiny coffee cups, 6oz only. Room was 202.....cut down that tree! Sunset and view of the ocean was beautiful! Bathroom had plenty of room, no counter space. Has Q-tips, cotton balls and makeup remover cloths. Cross the highway, you are on the beach! Check Out I asked for a receipt and was told I purchased via Expedia (hotels.com)and was not getting a receipt from the hotel. Breakfast burritos was flour when requested corn and had a conversation about corn tortillas. Yogurt is a frozen parfait but tasty. I was never asked about my stay upon leaving. Lupe needs some customer service training!

    Cozy oceanfront hotel located in charming seaside Cambria. The hotel is quaint and immaculately clean with roomy accommodations and a complimentary breakfast (delivered to your door during covid). While not every room is ocean-facing, most at least have a partial ocean view, or you can spring for a fancier, oceanfront room with a private patio. They also have a shared outdoor seating area on the front, northern end of the property that is open to any guest. If spending time in Cambria, Sand Pebbles makes you feel at home.

    I am only giving this place 4 stars because they are EXTREMELY STRICT on their check in times. It's off season now and I heard they are short staffed, but prioritize your room cleaning to have your high priced rooms done first to accommodate. Kinda not my problem and when I come at 2! I expect to have a room if I've got no where to go and paid premium price! Room is beautiful and well kept. We stayed on the bottom floor in the front with a patio so no other complaints.

    Breakfast

    It's a nice place and the staff are nice. Real close to the ocean. Not a big fan of the bagged breakfast they bring you. They have a breakfast room but I guess they're afraid to use it. Not sure why they're using toiletries made in China.

    Lovely Ocean View room with sitting area and fireplace
    Laurie A.

    Lovely and quaint Inn directly across from Moon Stone Beach. Comfortable beds, charming fireplace for chilly beach nights and hot packaged breakfast delivered to your room. Fabulous Seafood Restaurants a short walk in either direction and a casual ocean view wine bar next door. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed the complimentary wine with ocean view and one of my biggest reasons for booking it was due to they accept dogs, which says a lot about an establishment. That being said, there are areas for improvement. When I checked into my room, I noticed that the the dark blinds were stuck so I went to the office to see if they could help. The manager came to my room; tried to lower them and agreed they were stuck. She said she would ask the maintenance person to fix it. A day went by and nobody came by. I was awoken to a bright room early in the morning so my sleep was cut short. I went back the office and the same manager welcomed me with "yeah, what's up"? I highlighted that nobody came by to fix it and she seemed pretty indifferent but said she would request it again. Needless to say, nobody showed up to fix it during my whole stay so I was greeted with shortened sleep thanks to the bright room in the mornings. While I was checking out, I highlighted this to the new manager and she laughed it off, saying that's why she brings blindfolds when she travels. No discount offer or anything. Furthermore, their door key cards are the most sensitive I have ever encountered. I had to have them reprogrammed 3 times during my stay. Also, the owner apparently requested that they close the wine tasting early due to rain so, when I showed up to use my complimentary wine vouchers, I found it closed over an hour earlier than their posted closing time but the server did provide me with the complimentary wine since I was a guest but they were no longer offering food so no marinated olives and nuts to go with it. That being said, the Inn does have a great location; is a value and I love that it is dog-friendly but they do need to work on their customer service. Oh and some more Vegan options and recycling/compost bins would certainly help.

Rooms on the Sea Chest Oyster Bar restaurant side (which this one was) seem to get more sun, so they are warmer. It cooled down at night, but not enough to use the gas fireplace. We didn't notice any restaurant noise, and we were able to hear the ocean all night, which was lovely. In the morning they serve pastries and muffins and coffee which were all delicious. The bed was very comfortable, and we got a good nights sleep. It's just so wonderful to be directly on moonstone beach where you can walk on the path and see the stunning ocean. There are also stairs taking you down to the beach. The Sea Chest Oyster bar is super popular with people lining up to get in long before it opens. We were able to get in about an hour after we put our name down and the food was delicious. Cash only. There are other restaurants within walking distance and one night we ate in town at the Sow's Ear, which was also delicious. Would happily return to Moonstone Landing!

This property is owned by a company that owns at least four other properties on Moonstone Beach, and shares with them poor customer service.

The rooms, lack decor and character, although the bed was very comfortable. When we asked that the waste baskets be emptied at the beginning of the day, we were told that since we did not make that request the night before, it could not be accommodated because of insufficient custodial staff. When I made this request to the manager on duty, she gave me a look as though I had asked her to donate a kidney. We emptied the baskets ourselves. The property has two fire pits, both of which were essentially nonfunctional. Also, the pool was closed. When they ran our credit card on check-in, they actually immediately charged the entire fee for the stay at once. This is an unusual practice, since most similar properties assess the actual charges for the room at checkout.

We booked three rooms (8, 19, and 21). All were decent in size, though lighting varied. Room 8 was the darkest, while Room 19 had the brightest natural light. Most rooms include a fireplace, except Room 21. There is no in-room coffee maker, but complimentary coffee and a light breakfast are provided daily in the lobby.

An excellent spot to enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine. Plenty of parking is available directly in front of the rooms, making it very convenient. There are complimentary beach bicycles for guests but you have to sign a waiver. We went for an early morning ride along Moonstone Beach Dr. It was fantastic!! At $178 per night including taxes and fees, this is hands down one of the best values if you want to stay right by Moonstone Beach. We would absolutely stay here again. Happy Travels!
