We stayed at Sand Pebble for six nights in early Sept. 2016 to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Had been to Bermuda a handful of times over the years and our priority was to be on a South Shore beach. The unit is very comfortable - excellent bed, A/C, wiFi, small kitchen, plenty of towels. There are sliding glass doors onto a lawn/patio with stunning views of the ocean and private beach below. Plenty of seating choices outdoors to read, have a drink, eat. The beach below is essentially empty. The usual talcum powder sand framed by rock outcroppings. The surf varied over the week from gentle to rough. Our only issue was the maybe 50 plus stairs down to the beach - not something that we wanted to do more than once per day. There are good handrails but it is steep. we carried the supplied beach chairs and umbrella down the stairs for the day and were the only ones on the beach most days. The beach is stunning - so nice and private that we never bothered with going to Horseshoe Bay (and fighting the cruise tourists) or even our other favorites - Jobson's or Warwick Long Bay.

The location is on the South Shore Road which is down a small hill from the unit. Bus stops either direction immediately at entrance, very convenient service to Hamilton (15-20 minutes) or Dockyards (40-45 minutes). Recommend unlimited bus/ferry passes based on number of days you will be there. One nice day was bus to Dockyards/wander around/ferry to St. George/Wander around/lunch then bus to Hamilton/transfer and bus back in time to still hit beach for a couple of hours. Decent sized grocery store ~ one mile on South Shore Road towards Hamilton; we had taxi stop there for a few minutes on way in from airport. Only restaurant within walking distance in Swizzle Inn - perfectly nice bar food plus but no A/C. We took $10 taxi cabs a couple of times to restaurants in that part of the island, or bus into/out of Hamilton, for dinner.

We would highly recommend Sand Pebble if you don't need daily housekeeping, an on-site restaurant or a beach without stairs.
