My husband and I stayed there several years past and will be staying again in October. We found the rooms to be very light, bright and airy. Kitchen had everything we needed including a wine opener that I had forgotten. Then there is the view and location. Just beautiful. I took so many pictures of the grounds, flowers, garden and... more

The beauty of this little motel is the location and the view, the rooms are quaint and in very good condition considering this motel was built in the 1940's. The grounds are unique and very well maintained. For me, the huge panoramic window view, the porch areas, and the immaculate lawn overlooking the beach all contributed to the sense of... more

If you are looking for a place to stay near great surfing and body boarding, with no frills this is the place! My two teenage sons and I spent a weekend sharing a studio with a queen bed and queen sofa, a kitchen, bathroom and cable TV. Clean! The view is 5 star! You can easily walk to the beach... more

The location of this motel is amazing. Right on the sea front with amazing views. Next to the pier and few restaurants on your door step. Rooms are slightly outdated but the view makes up for this. The quibble I have is the service, no welcome or pleasant introductions. More of yep this is your room and this is how... more

Do not stay here!!! I can't begin to describe how much of a rip-off this place is. It is as expensive as a 5 star hotel with the quality of a motel from the early 50's. I saw roaches in my bathroom and kitchen, there was mold growing in the shower, and the entire place smelled of sewage. The veiw... more

Dear Motel Guest, The Beachcomber Motel is dedicated to making sure that our customers are satisfied in all ways. We are saddened by this review. We are very curious though as to why you did not come to us at any time during your stay and either request a different room or to tell us that you were not happy...

We stayed one week at the Beachcomber Motel. It was a little cramped for 2 adults and 2 kids but we survived just fine. The owners were great and very responsive to any requests we had. (a sink that clogged was fixed right away) The location on the beach is superb. We could see our 11 year old in the... more

Perfect!

This was a great place to stay. My husband and I are not picky, we just wanted something as close to the beach as possible for a reasonable price. Simple, clean rooms, with a sink, refrigerator, stove, coffee pot and dishes. We could live in the room and be perfectly content. Wonderful ocean view and beautiful, gated grounds. In my... more

I have read some of the reviews and wanted to let everyone know that this is the best little motel in San Clemente that is along the beach and by the pier. I have not stayed here recently but I have stayed here several times in the past. My sister stayed recently and has also stayed here several times with... more

Great View !

Stayed here for a long weekend in June. If you read the reviews of this motel on TripAdvisor, you will find one complaining about the blinds not closing, no A/C, small accomodations and more. I would not quarrel with any of those comments. But at the Beachcomber, you are not checking into a plush resort, which you can probably figure... more

We had seen this motel 5 years ago and my wife said we had to stay there at least one night during our next trip to CA. It is somewhat pricey for us ($220) but we booked Saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is unbeatable with a large green lawn overlooking the Pacific Ocean and San Clemente pier.... more
