Sands By The Sea Motel, San Simeon (CA) - Deals & Reviews

Fire pits on the beach were such a vibe, and the easy beach access is a total win. Had a lekker brekkie at the restaurant next door—those $5 vouchers are not too shabby! The heated pools are perfect for a dip, too.

The room was a bit dated, with some scratched furniture and a noisy vibe—ag man, you can hear the traffic.

beach access, fire pits, heated outdoor pools

Noise from the heater was disruptive!!! Shower head too low and controls are poorly placed!!! Lack of soundproofing between rooms affects sleep quality!!! Management should consider better room cleaning protocol!!!

Check the conditions of both pools, as one might be cleaner than the other. Also, grab a breakfast voucher for the restaurant next door!

I really enjoyed how close it was to the beach, literally a five-minute stroll and you're hearing the waves crash. The friendly staff was a big plus. we were helped with our breakfast vouchers, even if the strict rules on them were a bit annoying!

It wasn’t cheap, more than I expected for the state of things.

The view from my room was killer, right by the beach. Loved chillin' by the outdoor fire pits after a long drive. Staff was super chill. Only bummer? Carpets could use a deep clean, felt kinda grimy. Hit up the Cavalier Restaurant for some good eatin'. Could seriously stay here again just for that sunset view.

The bathroom was large and nice, the bed was comfortable, and the fire on the beach was wonderful🔥. Location was perfect, only a 10 min drive to Hearst Castle!

Absolutely satisfied.

Enjoyed the cozy outdoor seating area.

Our queen room was spacious with a big fridge and microwave, super handy for late-night snacks! The shower was nice and had good pressure. We explored the nearby picnic area – perfect for meals outside! The only bummer was some noise from the highway, but it didn’t ruin our stay. Great spot for the price!

Loved the beach access and free parking. Wi-Fi was down entire stay.

the sandy beach access is lovely. perfect for sunset views, we even spotted dolphins swimming nearby! the property offers a welcoming vibe with friendly staff and plenty of outdoor games. breakfast options were delicious too.

none, but the wifi could be better. 📶

Loved the fire pits and unique beach access. perfect for late-night hangs. Had a cozy vibe, great for relaxing!

Felt that it is secure, no complaints.

Clean rooms and friendly staff made for a pleasant stay. The beach access is ideal, and I enjoyed evenings by the fire pits with the sound of the ocean nearby. Breakfast included scrumptious French pastries and fresh juice, while outdoor games like giant chess added to the fun. However, some noise from adjacent rooms was noticeable, impacting the overall tranquility.

Location right on the beach is a definite perk, providing easy access to stunning sunset views and outdoor fire pits. The room I had, while cozy, could benefit from some refresh – carpets were stained and the air conditioning was rusted. The staff did their best to help, creating a welcoming atmosphere despite room issues.
