On the property
“The ocean views on the balcony were beautiful and I am sure the sunsets are even more so even though I did not enjoy it at the motel during this visit.”
“At night, you can roast marshmallows at sunset in one of their propane fire pits.”

From the reviews
Fantastic Location!! We loved our stay so much that we came back two nights later. The rooms were clean, spacious, and the views amazing. Just a short drive or walk into town. We look forward to visiting again! Pictures are of two different sunsets - one from room 210 and the other from room 213.
I really enjoyed my stay at this motel. To compare, the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The customer service was fantastic! The hotel offers Keurig coffee, coffee in the lobby, and is perfectly located right along the beach trail.
We stayed here for two nights for our honeymoon with our dog. Our favorite part was how pet friendly this hotel is! The Whirlpool Tub Room (Pet friendly) was spacious for us and clean. No lingering odors of previous pets. The paved walkway was the perfect morning and evening walk route.
Beautiful Clean Rooms, Spectacular Views of the Ocean & Honest! Many reviews have talked about the ocean front views and hopefully the clean, comfortable beds, but I was most impressed by the fact that I left my headphones there.
Getting married at The Beachcomber Motel
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
