I was a bit worried because of the reviews I had read, so I was expecting the worst, but when I got out of the car and stood on the beautiful beach right in front of our room, it was all good.. Ok the place itself needs a bit of TLC but the room was clean and the bedding was nice and I slept great. The people who work here are so nice and accommodating you forget that the place has taken you back to 1970, which isnt a bad thing... Our party of twelve had a great family weekend here and we'll be back

All of the other reviews and photos drew us to this property and it did not disappoint! The hotel portion is a fairly new (less than 5 years) 6-room add-on to the original home. The space, furnishings, and artwork is just a perfect blend of traditional and modern. The room has a very comfortable bed, and wonderful bathroom/shower. Jill is a fantastic host and operates the property with the highest level of service and privacy. It made for the perfect, secluded getaway!

It's always a pleasure to stay at the Beachcomber Motel. Always clean and accommodating. Staff is…read morefriendly and fun. Great location to unwind and enjoy the beach. The only bummer is there is NO restaurants in the area! Especially during the week. There are a few bars in town but you will only get bar-type grub there which is mediocre at best. We have been vacationing in Port Austin for almost 20 years and the lack of eating establishments in the area has us stumped. Best advice, bring a bunch of snacks! Enjoy your stay!

I've been wanting to stay here for a long time. I'm an MCM fan and the sign drew me in. Did not…read moredisappoint. The rooms are nicely appointed with comfy beds, nice linens, fluffy blankies, coconut soap, comfy deck chairs, satellite TV and beachy/MCM touches. Will definitely return.

I'm guessing one of the Wall Street investment pirates bought this, as they did so many, and intend to make it into condos or time shares or something. Or keep it closed and write it off.

Arrived after a huge storm and there was no power. Paul was awesome, he told us he understood if…read morewe decided not to stay....but he had candles in the room, a campfire going at the beach, he did everything he could to given the circumstances to make us feel welcome. We decided to stay (great choice as the power returned before dusk) as no one had power along the bay and we didn't want to return home. Condo was on first floor. Simple, clean, everything worked, and the view was fantastic. We talked with all the other guest who seemed to be great people and were also enjoying the accommodations. The beach campfires were great (some nights there were up to 3 different fires going) and we enjoyed talking with everyone. I plan to return soon. I hope Paul will give me a deal in the fall......
