We hired beach fire guys for part of my daughters wedding and they were great! They were easy to contact and able to meet changing needs. It was great to have this type of company out there. Having them set up and clean up was great! Overall great experience! read more

What a fantastic service! I called a week in advance and spoke with a very sweet "Kayla" who took my reservation. She took my information and said I was all set. I called the day before just to confirm and they said I would receive a call the day of from the delivery guy. Indeed, I did, as well as a text to say everything was there and waiting for us. When we arrived, it was exactly as they described and perfect. My group had a wonderful time and we will definitely use them again and again! So easy!!! read more

Unfortunately, this was a total rip off. We paid $165 for a guaranteed 3.5 hour fire and paid $10 extra for an additional bundle of wood. They only brought 2 bundles of wood....telling us only one is included in the package. There is no way one bundle of wood is gonna burn for 3.5 hours. It didn't even last 2 hours and when we called to complain we were told we could go to the store and buy more wood! Are you kidding me? After giving these rip off artists $165?? They set up the fire pit and chairs super close to the strainway, so it wasn't private at all. It was like being in a fish bowl with everyone in the houses right on the water watching us and passerbys talking to us. We ordered the most expensive package and then we were told it doesn't include s'mores which the website states is included. They wanted to charge an extra $5 per person for s'mores and on top of it all they didn't give us the 10% discount with the coupon. I would never use this company again! Trust me and choose a different one. read more

We called and booked out fire pit at 3pm for a 6:30 delivery! They were prompt and set everything up for us. After sitting with our fire for an hour the tide came up so high we were all fully submerged to our ankles. So they came back and moved our entire setup and gave us extra logs. Great service and fun for the kids and adults!! read more

Great experience! Was very easy to schedule and Josh answered all of my questions. Everything was setup very well and the location was perfect for a great bonfire night. We had chairs, tiki torches, and smores which was a great touch. Only negative thing was that we started out with a small pile of wood. Since it was a cold night, we needed way more. Would highly recommend! read more

Great Job. I contacted them as soon as I landed. They gave me great instructions/directions and really took the time to give suggestions for where to eat and play before the fire. They situated the fire so we could see the Fireworks! Great job!! We will use them Again!!! Thanks read more

Awesome! Great service and on time. The smores were a real treat! Made the end of a great day even better!

I tried to contact other beach fire services around San Diego and it was a nightmare. I filled out Beach Fire Guy's application and within an hour and a half I was contacted to get everything set up. I was very impressed and they were even able to adjust the time when we decided to do the fire on the day of. The fire was great and we enjoyed our time on the beach. It is so nice to just show up to the fire and leave and not worry about setting up or cleaning up. read more

Fantastic service! Everything was delivered on time and service was excellent. They were very helpful recommending a location for my family. We will definitely use Beach Fire Guy again and again! read more

About a week before our arrival in Mission Beach, I called to inquire how much notice was needed to set up a fire. I was told 24 hours. For three days we tried to contact them via the online request form and phone calls and finally got a hold of Shane on Thursday night. We made arrangements to have a fire set up on Friday night so we can enjoy our last night in Mission Beach, celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary and our Daughter's engagement which happened earlier in the day. Needless to say no one showed up and one of things we were really looking forward to never happened. What a disappointment. read more

I can't say enough good things about the Beach Fire Guys. Josh and Shane we're responsive and very helpful in helpings plan the beach wedding I always wanted. They preformed to their word. They went out of their way to get us the beach permit we needed and then were so accommodating when we decided to switch beaches and needed a new permit. They showed up on time and made sure the fires were stoked and burning all night. They created the perfect ambiance with tiki torches, location of the fire pits and beach games. After the beach party they cleaned everything up. I would highly recommend the beach fire guys for any type of beach event or gathering. read more

See all

I highly recommend using the beach fire guy if you want to do a bonfire in San Diego. We used them for a bonfire on mission beach and couldn't be happier. The services were well worth the cost and everyone had a great time. We had 2 bonfires for 15 people and had plenty of chairs and firewood to keep us going throughout the night. They were great to work with and will definitely be using them on our next trip to San Diego. read more

We had a great time with our experience with Beach Fire Guys. Thanks to the yelp reviews we looked up the fireworks times at Sea World during the holiday weekend we were in town and planned a beach fire around those timings. Rich helped us pick a specific location that was perfect to see the fireworks! We got a call the day before to confirm location/time and everything was set up when we arrived. The experience was a highlight during our anniversary/babymoon San Diego trip! read more

Amazing time!!! We actually did it twice during our stay- can't wait to go back and do it again next summer!!! read more

Called them yesterday morning for a last minute reservation for a beach fire for our softball team. Shane recommended a great spot with easy parking where we could see the sea world fireworks. Josh confirmed before he got there, and set everything up perfectly. I'd highly recommend them! Our teenage girls loved it.. "I feel like I'm in a beach movie" read more

Could not have been more impressed. Had really great communication before hand, Jake came and set up the whole party and got the fire ready to light and left us with nothing to do but enjoy it. I own a fire pit. I own firewood. I'm local. This is definitely the better move all around. They took care of the hot ashes and pit properly (and legally), and we were able to just head to the cars and leave without any hassle at all. I will HEAVILY recommend this service to my friends, clients from out of town, family and loved ones. Thanks Beachfireguy.com ! read more

I called last minute and had a fire delivered within half an hour, chairs, tiki's s'mores and everything! They were very accommodating and the server did an amazing job setting up and cleaning up after us! Highly recommend to anyone! read more

We had a great experience with Beach Fire Guy! They were awesome with communicating with me the entire process. Great set up and so fast and easy. We will definitely do this again. read more

I had family come into town and I wanted to give them a great experience. Due to the memorial weekend, BEING understanding, I tried to compromise with BEACH FIRE GUY. I placed a reservation 4 hours prior to my requested time and was later informed, by me calling, that in regards to my reservation, they could setup my #3 option. STILL compromising with them, they informed me that I would have a bon fire by the night. A bit late but I would have one. When it came time to my request, on their terms, BEACH FIRE GUY informed me that due to their unfortunate business, they were not able to accommodate my reservations. Im a business man myself and customer service was DEFINITELY NOT MET. DONT NOT TELL YOUR GUESTS YOULL DO SOMETHING AND YOU DONT COMMIT! someone will read this and it will sink in that you not only lost one clientele but more than 10 guest. GOOD RIDDANCE. read more

These guys are awesome, I have used their services twice and it has always been nothing but perfect. They come out in time set up everything and they are out and when your done call them and leave. This is the best part of a bonfire not having to do it yourself. Thank you guys for doing what you do. read more

This literally could not have gone any better for us. We had a friend bail on us last minute on a Sunday who was supposed to bring our fire pit, so we had to scramble. I called Shane (I think it was Shane..?), expecting to have to pay more for a last minute miracle, and he was great. We picked the time & place, and when we got there, Josh already had everything set up. Fire pit, wood, kindling, tiki torches & s'more supplies for 8. Only $120. They even put out the fire & clean everything up - all you have to do is send a text when you're wrapping up. HIGHLY recommend these guys for a great experience in PB. read more

We hired Beach Fire Guy for a romantic Valentine's Day evening at the beach. We requested a set up about an hour or so before sunset for a 3 hour fire and that is how long it lasted. They showed up on time and set up the fire for us quickly and efficiently. They even threw in some skewers when they saw what we had to roast hot dogs was not going to work. We enjoyed roasting our hot dogs over the fire and a relaxing, romantic evening--fire, sunset, and stars. All we had to do was call when we were leaving and they took care of the rest. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again! read more

This guy is an absolute joke. Beachfire Guy is not professional or reliable. They can't so much as return an email, text, or phone call in a timely manner. I recently reached out to Josh to accomodate my college reunion - there would be 50+ people in attendance = $400+ in services from Beachfire Guy. Long story short, I was assured in an email that they could accomodate my needs and the night before the big event (after many failed attempts to get a returned message/ invoice for my order) I get a call from a different guy who had no clue what I was talking about and "couldn't guarantee" that they'd be able to set out chairs by 10am because "they are so busy putting out fires up and down the coast from TJ to Del Mar until 3am." Thank god it rained the next day and we had to move the event from the beach. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! You'd be better off picking up a Duraflame log from 7-Eleven. read more

I emailed them requesting a quote a couple months ago. I'm still waiting for a response........

I would never recommend this operation!! It's a great concept, but their process is TERRIBLE and they are not reliable! I sent them an email from their website request form and got no response. So after two days, I went ahead and clicked "Book Now" on their website. After still not getting a response after another two days, I called and left a message. I finally got a call back the next day and set up our fire reservation for last night. The guy told me they get about 50 emails a day and don't have time to reply...so then why doesn't the website just say that instead of wasting everyone's time?! I felt uneasy about the reservation because the guy was rushing me on the phone, and only took my first name and number and told me where to meet them. I left another message the next day to confirm price and date, and I received a text to confirm. Well, of course after dragging all of our out-of-state guests and all of our stuff to the meeting spot last night, no one showed up!! I called several times, no one answered. We finally found one of the guys setting up another fire pit for someone else, so he helped us, even though he said we were not on the reservation list. We finally got a fire over an hour later and after having to drag our stuff again to the other side of the bay for it. By that time, the tension between all of us was so high, we didn't even enjoy it! If you don't have the flexibility for them to maybe, or maybe not show up, I would not rely on them because they don't care! read more

Beach Fire Guy is amazing! I needed a last minute solution for my daughter's 15th birthday and these guys made the night. Everything was set up and ready when we arrived. This was a night to remember and far exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back! read more

I tried for three days to contact them about a fire for my parents anniversary. I tried email, Facebook and then called (no ring, straight to voicemail all day) finally got in touch with Shane, who I assume is the owner since it is his personal number on the website. I asked him to set up a fire for the next night. He said someone would call me to confirm that day. Hours leading up to the time I reserved I didn't receive a call. I thought maybe they would just show up. 7:00 came around (which is the time I asked for) and no call, no one was there. When I tried calling I constantly got sent to voicemail. My mom called from her number and he called back immediately so that made me feel I was being ignored. When I spoke to him on her phone he said he set it up for the previous night which is the night I called....okay honest mistake but why would I call later than the time I was trying to set it up for. Then he said he will try to get someone there and would call back in 10 minutes. I waited another 30 mins before calling . No answer again. 20 more minutes later after I had given up on the idea of having a fire, someone named Jason called and asked if I was still interested in having a fire but he wouldn't be there for another hour. Not his fault because he was just told about it, but still very frustrating. I wish I had something good to say because it seems like a really great concept, just very poor execution. read more

Our team loved this!! Jacob set up and tore down everything, which made the night so much easier for me as I was already running around taking care of other things for the team. Thanks Beach Fire Guy for an excellent experience and lots of fun on the beach! read more

Bad communication. I sent a request via the website and didn't hear anything back so I called 24 hours later; they didn't have a request from me, no big deal, very easily could have been my fault. When I called I requested 7:00 and was told they couldn't do 7:00, but could do 6:30. I had a large party if 21 people that I rushed out the door to meet them there by 6:30. Finally after I texted at 7:10 and didn't get a reply, my wife called and she was told they would be there by 8:00. I started calling and texting at 8:15 and finally got a reply at 8:45 saying they would be there in 15 min. No one ever showed up. I had 15 kids waiting on dinner (hot dogs and s'mores over the fire) since 6:30. Now it's after 9:00 and our options for dinner were limited. I called and left a couple more messages and still haven't heard anything back, it was over a week ago. I would suggest if you schedule, it's a crap shoot if they'll show up and deliver on their promise. Worst part was 20 people (15 kids) waiting for almost 3 hours and having to be the one to break the news to them all. It cost us $40 in parking that we wouldn't have had to pay. read more

As you can see from the previous reviews - Josh does an exceptional job of providing the atmosphere and product your all looking for ... my review is to let you know of the exceptional level of respect, professionalism and integrity with which he provides his services. Recently my event planning company had to cancel an event due to some inaccurate information that was given to both me and Josh. When Josh realized what was happening, he knew there was nothing either of us could do to make the event proceed as planned and he offered to refund our money, no questions asked - I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO ASK - Josh offered. I was so impressed with his level of integrity and kindness - I had to leave this review. I am actively looking for another client where I can use Josh and his company. There are not many businesses out there with his kind of a moral compass ... very very impressive. I will be using him in the future as often as I can. Thanks Josh so much for your understanding, patience and kindness. read more

I have been waiting to write my review because I was so devastated by their service for my event there was nothing but pure emotion that would have come out for my review. Well it's been a year and it's sad to see that other people have had the same problems I had... Anyway bottom line is if you have something important... i.e. reunion, special occasion or big partyYou are better off saving yourself the embarrassment and stress that could potentially come from this company! If you're having just a casual hang out with no expectations then it's worth the gamble with them because you won't be as let down. In my case I was coordinating a reunion... Everything went wrong from from being over an hour and 1/2 late, incorrect estimate saying I had to pay more if I wanted what they originally told me was in package, when I went to pay he asked if I could pay away from lifeguards because it was too risky... Whatever that means, then ASKED for a tip, then once he saw my tip ASKED for more!!!! Then showed up later during event to tell me owners would include the extra pit no charge ... And mind you this has ALL transpired during my event.... Thus I was stressed and dealing with this unprofessionalism! Afterwards they did offer to give me a free bond fire but my event was already ruined... Maybe a refund would be better compensation for this service! read more

Arranged to have a beach fire with the Beach Fire guy. I was NOT impressed. Kenny set up our fire pit, and as soon as he left, the tiki torches fell down. It was difficult to get our fire lit due to the wind, and he left no extra paper for when the fire went out. The worst of it all was that he left us CRUMBLED chocolate bars for s'mores. They had clearly been left in the car and melted, so I had to refrigerate them, and then they crumbled to small pieces when unwrapped. The marshmallows were also all melted together in one big heap in the bag. None of it was usable for s'mores. When I made the reservation, I had requested Reese's for our s'mores and was assured they would be delivered. But they weren't. I texted the number I had requesting more paper, new s'more making stuff, and the Reese's I was promised, but did not get a timely response. Therefore, someone from my party had to go to the store for the s'mores and we had to tear up cardboard from our trash to get the fire lit. Terrible disappointment for everyone at the party. I do NOT recommend, especially for what they are charging. read more
