The Beachcomber Inn is a quaint boutique style inn situated steps from the Pacific Ocean. The inn was constructed in 1947 and offers vintage at its finest. The Beachcomber is believed to be the oldest continuously running businesses in town, and it is one of the few examples of Spanish Colonial Revival style inns located on a coastal bluff. The blissfully secluded Beachcomber provides the perfect window through which to experience the California lifestyle. This inn, due to the properties' unique position, offers unparalleled views of the waters below. Enjoy surf, sand and sun along with the unobtrusive charm of this inn. Spend the day on the waves, shopping on Del Mar, enjoying free WiFi or dining at a local non-chain eatery. You'll be sure to fill your day with fun or relaxing moments. Just 30 minutes from John Wayne Airport and minutes from the Amtrak train stop, the inn offers oceanfront lodging, complete with individual patios overlooking the beauty of the San Clemente Pier which creates the quintessentially relaxing hideaway. Rooms are also appointed with a fully equipped kitchen, king bed and sofa bed. The grounds allow for a peaceful night by the fire enjoying unobstructed views as the sunset casts a burnt-orange tint over the glistening surf.

Absolute best view of the ocean! We will be coming back again and again to the Hotel. The employees were so nice and the bed was comfortable. It was the most awesome Beach vacation. They have a fire pit that is on from 5-10 every night thats so inviting.

The place is okay, but pricey for what it offers. You need to be okay with the pot smoking, as the smell of it was all over the property. The staff rent to their friends, and you might end up with a houseful of people in the room next door, smoking pot and partying. We arrived late and were weary from a long drive, but very happy to have found what looked like a cute place to stay. We stepped outside to have a cigarette. The wind was heavy and was blowing every direction. The party house next door came out within seconds and complained, so we moved far out into the lawn. The next day, we had a $250 charge on our credit card for smoking too near the building. We contested it, asked them to reverse it, explained the situation, and they refused. So, for about 20 seconds of smoking outside too near the building, we were fined $250. Cannot leave anything but a poor review for such treatment.…

Hello Odyssey749467 - We are sorry that staying at our smoke-free hotel did not work out for you. A few staff members were working that night and did not smell any pot smells at all. We are thinking that is an excuse you are using to write your review. We understand your frustration. Having signed the no smoking agreement when you checked in, you were very aware of our policy. After reviewing the video we have, you were definitely smoking on the property, and no other guests were discourteous. Thank you.

Although during the July 4th holiday we were forced to book a nightly minimum and special rate requirements it was absolutely the best deal and most amazing view and access to all day activities ending with the fireworks. Totally worth the money spent and with a grass area, outdoor firepit this was a perfect ending to the holiday activities.

My husband, daughter, and I stayed at the Beachcomber Inn for the first time. We stayed for 3 nights in the newly renovated casita and it was AMAZING!!! The property was clean, the casita was beautifully decorated, the staff was super friendly, and the views were spectacular!!! We can't wait to come back next year!
