This has got to be one of the worst experiences of our lives. We stayed from May 5-12, 2012. The elevator is horrible. When we arrived on Saturday, there was a line into the parking lot waiting on the resorts single elevator. Granted, they are installing another one but people having been complaining about this problem forever. When we got... More

But it has activities (meet and greet, hotdog+Ice cream socials+Shuffleboard tournament and Bingo),... More

We visit the Sand Pebble for our interval week(s) every year in January/February. Since VRI bought the property a few years ago, renovations & updating has been ongoing. The Sand Pebble is a small resort, with just the basic amenities - pool, hot tub,nice patios and a great beach. We love it here because it's quiet, friendly and close to... More

Last year we visited in March. The Sand Pebble is in dire need of a renovation. My wife and family had been going to the Sand Pebble for years (since early 90s) so it was more of a tradition. The location is great and within walking distance to the area attractions/restaurants. The pool area is nice as well with plenty... More

The apartment block (ugly, 1960s) is right on the white sandy beach of Madiera Beach in Treasure Island. Masses of free parking at the resort; we hired a huge 4 x 4 and it easily slid into the big spaces provided! Initial impression was of a rather dated resort, dingy reception area, but our welcome was pleasant enough. Apparently RCI... More

Did a Time Share exchange for a Studio; got an efficiency with multiple problems. Buyer beware - if you rent or exchange for a studio / efficiency you will receive a room that was split off of a larger unit. There is no control over the central A/C unit; the controls are in the other half of the unit that... More

We have nothing against older resorts. However, they must be clean! Last year we came to this resort and the two bedroom was ok, and clean. Not this second time around! My grandchild walked barefoot on the carpet for 10 minutes. His feet looked like he had walked on charcoal! disgusting!

We stayed at Sand Pebble for ou anniversary. It is located right on the beach, in quieter section of Gulf Blvd just a short walk south of John's Pass (with it's restuarants and shops). The Gulf view rooms are simply appointed, with a small kitchen and dining area. There was plenty of space, and while the interior is not the... More

We have owned at Sand Pebble since 1994 and have been lucky to have gone back every year except 2009, we really really missed it and can not wait to get back in October this year. The staff are so helpful and friendly and we have made many friends over the years, we have no complaints about "our second home"... More
