The Spotlight on Sand Pebbles Inn

Seaside Comfort Just Moments from the Music

Set right on the shoreline of beautiful Qualicum Beach, Sand Pebbles Inn offers a tranquil coastal escape with easy access to Vancouver Island’s music and arts scene. This cozy inn features a laid-back vibe with stunning ocean views, a private beach, and charming garden spaces—perfect for winding down after a night of live music. Each room comes with free WiFi, a patio, and flat-screen TV, and some even include kitchenettes for longer stays or group trips.

Why Concert-goers love it

With free parking and peaceful surroundings, Sand Pebbles Inn is a favorite for fans who want a quiet spot to recharge between shows. While it's not in a bustling downtown, you're a scenic drive from Nanaimo’s live music venues and festivals, making it ideal for those happy to explore the island. The inn’s late afternoon check-in and restful beachside setting make it easy to settle in before or after a big night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a scenic base with space to hang out
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see artist and needing peace and quiet
  • Couples turning a concert night into a weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space with ocean air and calm vibes
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want beachfront beauty

Food and Drink Options

While the inn doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, you’re just a short stroll from local cafes and casual eateries in downtown Qualicum Beach. Some rooms come with kitchenettes for DIY meals and snacks after a show. Early risers (or late sleepers) will appreciate nearby breakfast spots to fuel up before hitting the road.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a bar on-site, but the inn’s location means you’re within driving distance of Nanaimo’s pubs, lounges, and live music spots. Prefer to stay in? Grab a drink and enjoy the sound of waves from your private patio. It’s the perfect low-key alternative to the post-show rush.

What People Say

Guests rave about the incredible ocean views, spotless rooms, and the peaceful atmosphere. Many appreciated the friendly staff and the ability to walk to the beach in minutes. Reviewers also mention the inn’s relaxing vibe and quiet location as highlights, especially after a busy concert night.

Areas for Improvement

Check-out is on the early side at 9:00 AM, which might feel a bit rushed after a late night out—but the beachfront sunrise might make it worth it. Also, being outside of Nanaimo means a bit of a drive to concert venues, so plan your transport ahead.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a serene, oceanfront stay with easy access to Vancouver Island’s music scene, Sand Pebbles Inn is a charming and affordable choice for concert-goers.

A very pleasant motel with...

Liked: The motel was clean and the mattresses were extremely comfortable. Each main floor room that I saw had sliding doors out onto a lawn overlooking the water. The upper levels had balconies looking over the water. I requested a main level room as I have mobility challenges and this was arranged. The staff were very friendly and recommended several nice restaurants.

While it was a great...

Liked: The location.
Disliked: Our group had 3 rooms. All of the rooms had issues. 1 room had the shower door come off that staff had to put back in. 2 of the rooms had very sticky (old) door locks that were sometimes tricky to unlock and get in. My room had the handle on the sink in the bathroom that came off a few times. While the rooms appeared to have had partial renovations done, it was done with low cost materials. The staff could have been a little more accommodating.

Our stay was less than...

Liked: The location was perfect
Disliked: The whole property needs a refresh. The towels were old and thread bare. Our door looked like it had been kicked in and was repaired poorly. I would not stay here again and would not recommend this property.

Good

Disliked: The water should have been run on all the taps prior to the start up of the season and bottled drinking water should have been provided.

will probably stay elsewhere next...

Liked: the front desk clerk (afternoon and eve) and the balconey
Disliked: the overwhelming bleach smell in the room; the bathroom door wouldn't close without a lot of fiddling; the shower door only stayed close with a towel pushed between the two panes; the weird little note stuck under the car windshield wiper because i was apparently parked too far forward.
