Perfect spot for a quiet get away with gorgeous views! We loved having all the great aspects of the beach without the crowds, seagulls, and sand haha. The husband and wife managers went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Customer service like that is hard to come by and goes... More

Husband's perspective My wife and I decided to have a weekend get away for our anniversary and we happened upon this romantic quaint gem. Located overlooking San Clemente Pier it has incredible views to sip a cold one watching the setting sun. Then when the sun goes down, the new managers and staff provided a small bonfire to sit and... More

We stayed here the first time on April 5, 2013. The property was clearly built in the 40's and shows it age. To me, that's a blessing not a curse. I spend way too much time in Marriotts, Hiltons and the like when I travel for business so I'm not looking for or expecting that type of homogeneous lodging. Here... More

We stayed here March 15-17th, 2013 for the weekend and absolutely loved everything about it, the only thing we didn't like was that we had to go home and back to the real world. The room was great, it was super clean, the new managers were wonderful and very accomodating, in fact, we had a few friends show up and... More

Ah, the Beachcomber. I've wanted to stay there for years, and just fulfilled that dream. I went there alone to rejuvenate, and there are definite pros and cons: PROS: - The view of the Pacific Ocean is spectacular, and the main reason to stay there. - The property is beautifully maintained on exterior, with an expansive, greeen lawn, fresh paint...

For years I have wanted to stay at the Beachcomber Motel in San Clemente and it has always been full and this time we were able to get a room and it was worth waiting for. I love having a room that is more than a room - it is more like a small cabin with a kitchen. I love... More

You know, if you cant tell what kind of "experience" you're going to have staying at this motel by just looking at it you dont deserve to share the small joys of life with the rest of us.

We recently stayed at the beachcomber motel, what you are paying for is the view. The motel overlooks the pier and beach, so you get a great view from outside your room. The motel is very dated and in need of an upgrade, there are signs saying that renovations are taking place, but they look like they might have been... More

The Beachcomber Motel is a 1940 Vintage style motel. The upgrades are being done as we speak. Actually, the signs we put in the rooms were put up about a month or two before you got here and will continue to be there until after next winter when everything should be completed. It’s not easy to work in the rooms... More
