Sand Pebbles

This was our third stay in Carolina Beach but our first at Sand Pebbles (and our first with Intracoastal). We picked it because our friends had already reserved a condo at Sand Pebbles, which was our priority. We were extremely satisfied with the smooth, quick check-in process (our place was even ready early, but we were still on the road). Twice during our stay, we had to reach out to Intracoastal: once because we locked ourselves out (oops!) and once because the unit’s laundry wasn’t working. In both cases, the response was timely and efficient, The condo itself was a bit dated (the couch and bed were not the most comfortable due to age and wear, there was a gash in one of the bathroom ceilings, one of the bathtub fixtures was half falling off).

Bed bugs plus poor costumer service

The beds had bed bugs! The costumer service was very poor being the fact that we had an emergency our first night (not a 911 emergency) where we wanted to contact somebody from the rental and we weren’t able and they never contact us back! I returnd parking passes and they say i didn’t later on (2 weeks later) somebody contacted me about the issue but im not stay there again.

Great location

The condo was in a great location. It was very easy to walk to the beach and there were plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The other guests on the property were quiet and that was very much appreciated. However, the master bedroom was so bright at night. Blackout curtains would be much appreciated. My husband and I considered switching rooms with our daughter because the second room was darker though not by much. We did end up hanging additional comforters to block the light. The carpets were filthy. The bathrooms needed another cleaning, too. There were two small 8in frying pans in the kitchen and nothing bigger and there were no baking sheets.

Great location & view but condo was not clean

The furniture in the living room & the carpet in both bedrooms are filthy. Bring your own pillows because the ones provided are flat, lumpy & dirty. None of the lamps in the living room worked, the tv in the 2nd bedroom didn't work, there was no lights in the 2nd bedroom & there's holes in the wall. The balcony wasn't cleaned, there was sand all over it (carpet on an outdoor balcony?) & the beach chairs & boogie boards were all rusted or broken. The guest bathroom shower drains super slow & has been for awhile by the looks of the mold line on the shower liner. The location & view of this condo is great but it needs some deep cleaning & updating.

Beachfront Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of the condo is about a 15 min walk to the boardwalk, which helps keeps the crowds down while still being close enough to everything. There are three restaurants across the street, and a gas station and farmers market a couple of blocks away. There is even a tiki bar on the pier less than a five-minute walk away. Everyone at the condo was respectfully quiet, which made the stay even better.The room itself wasn't bad. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, decent furniture, and a view of the ocean and pool from the balcony. The carpet and mattresses are a little stained/dirty, but the beds were comfortable. There is a TV in every room and even a washer/dryer. The only suggestions I would have are to have some kind of blackout curtains in the bedroom. Between the lights from the pool area and the early sunrise, the main bedroom has a lot of light coming into it. We ended up hanging all of the spare comforters over the curtain rods to try and make it more manageable to sleep in. The lock on the gate to get to the beach was kind of hard to use, but may have just had sand in it. It was usually left propped open by guests.

Stay at your own risk.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo location is the only good thing about this place. As we arrived, the place was VERY dirty. I had to scrub the showers, replace shower liners (due to so much mold). The furniture and carpet are very stained and need to be replaced.We covered them so we didn't have to sit on the furniture or walk on the carpet. Interacostal offered to have cleaners come out, but I had already cleaned it. The last night, there was a cockroach in the condo. I asked for some money back, they refunded me the cleaning fee of $80, WOW, thanks. I do not recommend this condo.

Nice vacation spot

Had a wonderful time in Carolina beach. The condo is located in the perfect area. Short walk to beach through private walkway. It is also about a 10-15 minute walk to boardwalk. There are restaurants across street and a gas station only a couple minutes walking distance away. Condo faces pool but you can still see ocean. It is on first level but you must still go up one flight. Had difficulty opening door upon arriving. One set of keys would not work and of course this was the one that I tried multiple times. At first, I thought I was at the wrong condo but finally used the other key. Upon entering we found a bag of used laundry which was pretty gross. I dragged this bag outside. The laundry company had left our clean linens outside and had not picked up the last occupants linens. I complained about this and the key issue the next morning. They promptly picked up dirty laundry and brought us a key that worked. I also had issues with the correct wifi password but they corrected this also. We really enjoyed our time here after the initial bumps. The only thing I would change are getting more comfortable furniture for living area, removing carpet in bedrooms. (They were badly stained) and recommend a deep cleaning. The high touch surfaces were clean but property needed to have deep cleaning every so often. I would also recommend room darkening window coverings in the main bedroom. It was difficult to sleep even during night due to flood lights shining in. Also it was very warm during the night. It really needs to have ceiling fans in bedrooms to make things more comfortable.

Wonderful 1st Visit to Carolina Beach :)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Intracoastal provided phenomenal service from making the reservation through our stay. We were provided a code for keyless check in and drove directly to the condo only to find the code would not work - it was approximately 5 PM. When I called, a pleasant gentleman answered and immediately dispatched someone to us with a key and check in packet (even though the office is only a short distance we'd have gladly driven) - within 5 minutes we were inside. We were unable to access internet due to incorrect/incomplete wi-fi information in the packet so called and a tech person was dispatched to come help us. This level of service was above and beyond!! The building is not new, but fairly well maintained for its age. Reserved parking space was nice, although the location was a bit of a challenge for parking a larger vehicle - we had that down to a science by the time we left! The unit is nicely located with view of the pool and limited ocean view, but proximity and access to the beach was great. Our 2 young adult and 2 teenage sons shared the 2nd bedroom and were comfortable but next time we'd probably opt for something a bit larger. The complex is within walking distance to the boardwalk shops and attractions, and we really enjoyed The Spot just across the road. Sand Pebbles A9 was definitely worth what we paid for the week for its location alone, and Intercoastal staff were awesome! Thanks for helping us make the boys' first visit to the ocean so fun and memorable!

Nice stay with nice updates

We had a little confusion with the realty company checking us in but once we got over that it was a good stay. The living room furniture is probably next to be replaced and a full size couch would be great. Would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Wonderful weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came one last beach weekend, This condo was very comfortable for my family of three. It’s an easy walk to the beach. Access at this point was limited to those at the condo complex, so during this pandemic, it felt really safe to be there. It wasn’t crowded. We spent a lot of time on the balcony too. There was “weather” that weekend, so it was nice to have the balcony and comfortable apartment

One of the better Sand Pebble units

Owner needs to know that all cooking utensils may need to be replaced. We had to buy a new pot and skillet because the ones in the unit were not usable. Other than that we enjoyed the unit.

Reviewer Comments: The only major disappointment with our stay this year was the fact that the swimming pools were closed due to COVID-19 I am sure, which we knew was possibility, however many of the condos and hotels surrounding ours had their pools open. I guess it is up to board members of each property? Otherwise it was another pleasant stay at Sand Pebbles A9 with Intracoastal Realty!

Highly disappointed in every way!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family & I arrived very late and went to bed right when we arrived to the condo. In the morning, my husband and I were very much looking forward to having coffee out on the balcony. I only packed K cups since the listing mentioned having a single serve and a drip coffee maker. When I prepared to make coffee, I found the single serve coffee maker to be full of mold! I was shocked. After having a closer look around, I was disappointed to find the condo in very poor condition. The kitchen was not "fully stocked with everything" we need. There were barely enough utensils for our family of 4 to have breakfast. The master bathroom shower head and shower curtain were moldy. There were long dark hairs on the tub/shower walls. The toilet smelled like urine. Both bath tubs are terribly stained. The master bedroom carpet is so dirty and stained, I did not want to walk on it barefoot. Many kitchen tiles are cracked and the living room furniture is old, stained and tired looking. The walls and the vent covers were full of dust bunnies. The water in the condo has a sulfuric, rotten egg smell, especially from the kitchen sink. I reported this to Intracoastal Realty but no one has responded in any way. The description of the property is deceptive and not at all what I expected. Very disappointed all around.

Great place to stay for easy access to beach, pool, and places to eat. We enjoyed our stay!

Our family of 5 had a great time. We enjoyed being able to walk out and go to the beach and pool. Also had several restaurants and ice cream places within walking distance. The condo is showing some age but had all basic amenities. It had a bit of a musty smell but I suppose that comes with humidity and was nothing some air freshener didn’t fix. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would come back!
