I stayed at the Beachcomber last month and had a great experience. We have stayed at the Beacomber three or four times in the past year. The owners have always been so nice and helpful. The hotel is walking distance to the beach and has a swimming pool and hot tub. They have always be very reasonably priced. We always... more

This Place Is Unclean and out to get people for there money. They have bugs and have a horrible smell to them. If you go there don't think about having any friends over you will get kicked out and will not get your money back. That’s what happened to us and the owners would not give our money back and... more

I would not have written this review if it were not for the owner's lack of ownership to the problems, (and from reading previous reviews, I know he will respond!). My family and I along with a friend and his two boys had booked a weekend there. We got there with our name taped to the door saying the room... more

We took our senior citizen parents and three teenagers along with my girlfriend and myself for a wonderful week at the Beachcomber. It was a wonderful private and secure place to spend a week, we left our private belongings on the deck and they were never disturbed. It was quite except for one night when a transformer blew out and... more

We rented the Dancing Fish Cottage for a week..WHAT A MISTAKE!!! We drove all the way from Plano, Texas. The first night my husband woke me up to tell me there was a cockroach on the bed. When we looked under the bed there was a beer bottle with chewed up tobacco and a wet t-shirt. The next morning there... more

My husband and I discovered the Beachcomber by accident in 2002. We got a walk in rate for one night. All I can say is that this is the first place we want to stay when we get to the island. We have been back over 20 times in 6 years.Every summer we stay for a week for our family... more

We were happy with our stay in the Penthouse last year, so this year we e-mailed for prices to repeat our stay. The price had gone up by $18 a night, which was much more than the properties of comparable quality, and the owner was rude. Other people have said that he was rude to them but we didn't mind... more

We have not raised rates in over 5 years. This person propbably received a special walk-in rate(if we are not full and someone walks in, we sometimes offer one time lower rates.) and wanted to duplicate this for an advance reservation rate. Our rates are not only competitive, they are the lowest for the location and aminities we have.

My family visited Port A most summers when I was growing up, and for the vast majority of those summers, we stayed at the Beachcomber. It was so conveniently located and had that beachy feel. My nostalgia for the Beachcomber had me insisting on staying there for a couple of nights on my honeymoon as well. But years later, bringing... more

It is too bad they waited two years to post this review. During this time, several updates of the property have been accomplished. We still are the lowest priced condos for the location and amenities.We are the closest hotel/condos to the beach on Ave. G. We are the only condo with a large enclosed Hot Tub. We have a salt...

The owner of this hotel expects you to treat this place as though you were family. You spend hundreds of dollars to rent the rooms and get verbally abused when the kitchen floor is not swept. The family that owns this condo has no concept of service for payment.. We were yelled at by the owner and his cleaning lady... more

Management response from
thehueys, owner

This person evidently got their feelings hurt because I informed them that their unit was left in a shambles on the last stay. They have stayed with us a total of 32 days in the last 4 years. "Bottom Line", they stayed with us for seven days just two months after they wrote this nasty review.
