Absolutely Beautiful view. It has only 12 villas but you will feel right at home. Most guest are super nice and share certain things like food, drink and toys with each other. The fire pit is amazing and roasting marshmallows is even better.

Staff has been so warm and welcoming. The views are spectacular, the property is immaculate. One of the most charming places I’ve been in California. It feels exclusive, but not stuffy. Love it and will definitely be back!

This is probably the best hidden gem in San Clemente. My wife and I live in the city and wanted a staycation place and found this. A Hawaii vibe with a fire pit overlooking the ocean and walkable to pier, restaurants and the downtown. Rooms have beautiful views of the sunset. Great great time. Highly recommended. Sam and Jeanne.

This was our first time staying at the Beachcomber. This is a gem. We have already booked for April and next October. The room was super clean. And the view is amazing. This will definitely be a yearly vacation for us. And the staff are so friendly.

The Casita was perfect... plenty of living space and kitchen space, amazing views, lovely fire each night. My only disappointment was that there was no parking space available for this unit on property. Considering the price of the unit, I feel that this is unacceptable.

Beautiful ocean views! It doesnt get any better! So serene. We didn't turn the tv on once. We didn't even rent a car. Everything is walkable. (Scoring a parking spot there can be difficult.) Fyi
We did not use the kitchen, just fridge. Too many great places to eat!
