This is our perfect staycation! Have stayed 4 different times (different rooms) And all have been wonderful. We love the restaurant in the area, always bring our S’mores for the fire pit, sunsets are beautiful!

Great little cottage getaway. Beachfront, amazing views, great options for tables, chairs, lawn chairs, etc. Fire pit was on sunset-8:45 and was a nice touch. Very friendly staff and guests. Nice to have parking (small spot but it worked) included near the beach as well! We used the trolley to get around so we didn’t have to move the car, it was great. Would stay again!

Every room has an ocean view. I liked the fire pit at night. We checked in and brought a cooler of food that fit nicely in the full size fridge in the kitchenette. The pillows were my favorite firmness which hardly ever happens at a hotel/motel. Easy walk to all the food places. Nice seeing the train go by below the property every so often.

Beachcomber Inn is located in a beautiful setting on the cliff in San Clemente. The Inn is decorated in a beachy retro style. The negative aspects are the parking situation, a U shaped parking area with spaces very close together. The couple of days I was there was exceptionally cold and drizzling and the unit had no heat.

This was an excellent place to stay. The ability to walk to the pier, shops, and restaurants is so easy and convenient. It was also so nice to be able to sit around the huge fire pit and get to know some of the other vacationers. The view of the ocean from our bedroom window and front porch was the most amazing I’ve ever seen. Hopefully, they will clean better under the corner of the bunk bed mattresses. Also, the shades in the extra bedroom need to be replaced. Thanks for a fabulous stay! We will definitely be back!

Check in and check out was super easy and staff was super friendly. There are close by restaurants, we just walked to the pier and ate at the restaurant there which is delicious and the views are beautiful. We are definitely going to come back but next time we will be brining our kids with us. And we cant wait to make this a yearly tradition for us!!
