Disliked: Cleanliness
The place was so dirty! The floor has a residue on it. The bathrooms had mold. Everything in the kitchen was dirty. There was left over duty dishes in the dishwasher from the last visitors. The couches smells dirty and were so dirty under the cushions. One of the remotes didn't have batteries. The only good thing about this place was the location and the abundance of towels and toilet paper. Don't stay here.

Nice place with amenities and close to the beach. Parking is main issue with this specific unit

This was a cute place with nice features and close to the beach. We were coming from Myrtle Beach and staying a few nights here to extend our vacation. The main concern for this unit is parking. The unit only has 1 parking permit, and the town has no free parking areas. We paid $20 the first day to park my parents' vehicle 1/2 mile away. I spoke with 5 different families staying in various units at Sand Pebbles and they all had 2 to 3 parking passes for their condos. Fortunately, we were able to double park our vehicles in a closed bay, as there was plenty of room in the bay for 2 vehicles. We also had offers from other nice families to use their passes if needed. This saved us the $25 per day fee. (We paid $20 the 1st day because it was after 4pm). It's pretty silly to only have 1 parking space available per the size of the condo. It's also good to keep in mind there is no elevator, which we knew before booking. This condo is a good option for those wanting limited steps, as there is only one set of steps (about 10) plus 2 little steps after a landing.
