Wife and I stopped by Pismo on our recent road trip and decided to spend a night at the BeachComber Inn. The room was very spacious and comfortable and the location was absolutely perfect--quick 5 minutes walk to the beach! The parking was easy as well! But the one thing that made our stay special was Johnny's hospitality! He was super friendly and amiable and made sure all our questions were answered and our stay was comfortable! We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quick, comfortable stay at Pismo Beach! read more

My spouse and I decided to plan a weekend getaway and chose to visit Pismo Beach, which is located on the southern side. I was initially undecided between a few different options, but ultimately decided to stay at Beachcomber Inn. I made a reservation from Friday to Sunday. I had already received an email confirming that check-in would be at 4:00 PM on Friday. However, around 9:00 AM that same morning, I received a phone call informing me that no one had stayed in the room the night before, and that we were welcome to check in at any time without waiting until 4:00 PM. As we all know, most hotels charge extra fees for early check-in or late check-out, so receiving such a generous offer without even asking was truly surprising and very much appreciated. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, we were only able to arrive around 6:00 PM. When we got there, I learned that the person who had called me was the owner, Johnny. We had the chance to meet him in person--he is incredibly friendly, talkative, and genuinely welcoming. He personally showed us around our room, which made the experience even more special. The location of the hotel is outstanding. It's just about a block and a half away from the busy center of Pismo Beach, yet it is remarkably quiet. We had a very peaceful night's sleep, and the room temperature was perfect. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided--there was a coffee machine with plenty of coffee pods, and the bathroom was fully stocked with essentials like shampoo and shower products. The room itself was spotless and in excellent condition. Additionally, the nearby beaches are only about a 10-minute drive away. We even went to the sand dunes and rode ATVs, which was an incredibly fun experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Pismo Beach. Check-out on Sunday was scheduled for 12:00 PM, but once again, Johnny reached out to let us know that no one was checking in after us. He kindly offered that we could check out anytime up until 6:00 PM if we wished. Just like the early check-in, this thoughtful gesture--offered without us even asking--was both surprising and deeply appreciated. He could have easily charged for this, but it was clear from the moment we met him that his priority is simply to provide excellent service and ensure his guests feel comfortable and happy during their stay. We would absolutely recommend staying at Beachcomber Inn when visiting Pismo Beach, and if you have the chance, meeting Johnny in person is truly a pleasure. From now on, we know that every time we visit Pismo Beach, we will choose to stay at this hotel without hesitation. Through this review, we would like to thank him once again and hope to see him again very soon. read more

This place is amazing !!! great location and Johnny is awesome!!! clean, cozy and friendly!!! this will be where i stay every stay!!!!

What a pleasant surprise. Stayed 2025 Memorial Weekend. Great location, fantastic service, and the property is well kept. The onsite manager, Johnny, I'd say has a lot to do with it. What a great host. Very helpful and kind. Hope to be back! read more

We were not disappointed, The Inn keeper Johnny was fabulous. He answered all our questions and treated us with respect. They have covered parking. Rooms were sparkling clean with the softest towels in town. The walk to the beach was great, about half a block. Restaurants are within walking distance. We highly recommend staying here. read more

We had the best stay here! We were welcomed by the host Kathie with a friendly smile and willingness to help. She showed us to our room and we were very impressed. This boutique hotel is quaint and offers rooms that are updated with attention to detail. The room we had was cozy, clean and comfortable. The kitchenette had a small fridge, microwave and was stocked with paper goods, coffee, tea and creamers. The fireplace offered a little extra warmth & comfort for us! The off street private parking was a bonus. All 7 rooms are on the 2nd level, no elevator but not an issue for us. We felt at home here and will definitely come back if we are ever in the area again. Highly recommend, hopefully you'll have a chance to be hosted by Kathie! read more

10/10. Highly recommended. The hospitality here is unbeatable. Johnny is really the best host and so attentive. They have the cutest rooms, so clean and decorated nicely. Walking distance from all the restaurants and shops which is super convenient. If you're looking for a home away from home in Pismo this place is it. read more

I am a long time guest of the Beachcomber Inn, Room 7 is my go to. During my stay in late December 2023 I posted a detailed review, at least 3 different people also stayed at the Beachcomber Inn based on my detailed review. I am appalled to read the recent post from a "Lisa W". I knew Grace, she was there for a number of years and was always so personable, the next gentleman Innkeeper referred to as "odd" helped me during my December stay. I have only encountered Kathie over the phone. She was pleasant when talking with her when the phone was finally answered, most of my calls went to a recording and on one visit to town, I thought I would just stop by, there was no one there covering the desk rather a handwritten note from Kathie saying she'd be back at a certain time, that time came and went, no Kathie, so I just decided to stay elsewhere. I happen to know the owner Leanne, we are from the same small town, "scattered" she is here, there and everywhere so, ok I can see maybe referring to her as scattered, but "self absorbed", "narcissistic" please this is not the Leanne that I know and love, AT ALL. Furthermore, the "Odd" man (yes I know his first name but I refuse to mention it) that took care of the Inn during that December stay was truly a gentleman. He carried my bags to my room and absolutely refused my tip, and as far as selling edibles, please, this cannot be the same guy Lisa W is referring to though I do not know of any other gentleman having run the Beachcomber. Clearly this review is retaliation, and I am willing to bet "Lisa W" is a close friend or family member, a daughter perhaps? This type of thing is not cool and if you take the time to read it, you can see its very little about their stay at the Inn rather it is all about character assassination in a half ditched effort to drive business away. Clearly if all was well with Kathie's performance, she wouldn't need to be replaced. Shoot Grace was at the Inn for years and years, not sure why guy #2 moved on, but having read this review, it has "RETALIATION" written all over it. Surely Yelp has a protocol when it comes to these things, I hope Leanne gets it removed, this is so unfair. read more

Stayed at Beachcomber Inn last month. It's a cute boutique hotel. Great location. Best part was - Kathie ! She provided excellent customer service. Very welcoming and quick response to all my inquiries. I'd stay here again read more

It's rare you meet someone who takes as much pride in his work as Johnny the innkeeper does. He is so thoughtful and generous and accommodating (literally!). Whatever this guy gets paid, they should double it. If the hotel looks nondescript from the outside, the rooms themselves are spotless and homey, with super-soft towels, a comfy bed and even a mini fireplace! read more

Beachcomber Pismo Beach CA - The room was so quaint, beautiful and very clean. Johnny the manager was very professional, pleasant and helpful. The hotel is very close to beach & my favorite restaurant Hoagies! I will definitely be back to enjoy this beautiful hotel! read more

I recently stayed at the Beachcomber Inn and I have nothing negative to say. I felt so welcomed by the innkeeper as he greeted me by name the second he saw I arrived on property! He gave me a tour of my room which was spotless yet cozy. Cleanliness is very important to me when staying away from home and the inn did not disappoint. The room smelled clean and fresh; well ventilated compared to other stays that tend to smell stale. The bed was comfortable and layered with warm and soft blankets. The shower had a dispenser for shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel which was perfect for an underprepared packer like myself. Overall, I had a great stay here and I plan on booking again soon. read more

Location is great. Walk to beach and pier without paying for parking. Clean and cute room. Kathie the Innkeeper terrific. Price reasonable. Rooms on upper level so you need to be comfortable with the stairs. read more

Hidden Gem with a Welcoming Atmosphere Don't let the exterior fool you. This place may look a bit unkempt from the outside, but inside the rooms are absolutely perfect--adorable, almost like a little studio apartment or country inn. They are very clean and welcoming, with air conditioning and controlled temperature. There's a little kitchenette with a microwave, a Keurig coffee maker with lots of coffee options, and filtered water. The innkeeper, Kathie, was the sweetest and personally showed us to our room and where everything was. Highly recommended read more

We had a wonderful stay at BeachComber Inn. The inn keeper Kathie was very helpful with everything including making nice recommendations of things to do. This hotel is adorable with 7 rooms, all nicely appointed. Instead of duvets the beds had bedspreads & sheets which is totally our preference. The property is two blocks from the beach and the location is amazing. You can walk to the main drag and pier If we are ever in Pismo again we will definitely stay here again. -- Ron M & Andrew B. read more

Me and my partner were welcomed by Kathie and she made sure our room was ready on time for our visit to Pismo. Our room was so cozy! Kathie was very kind to show us to our room and provide us with a cozy blanket. Our room also had a microwave and fridge. Me and my partner will be back soon. (: read more

So close to all the action and beach! Rooms feels like home and clean. Parking is a little tight if you have a big car but theres plenty of free parking next door. The lady at registration Grace is very sweet. She is sarcastically hilarious too!!! Love her humor. We talked as if we felt like we knew each other for a long time. Never had that experience with someone before. Shes a gem! Will stay here again because of location and Grace!!!! read more

This was our first time staying at this hotel. It was car show weekend so we weren't sure what to expect as far as being downtown and with the noise. We were pleasantly surprised. The noise was out there, but minimal. The room was very cute. We had 2 double beds, there was a table with 2 chairs, Keurig for all of your coffee needs, microwave and mini fridge. It was stocked with the essentials you may need if you forgot to bring them. Now, let's talk about Grace. We absolutely loved her. She was so friendly. When we checked in she gave us a bag of chocolate, a reusable grocery bag & a great attitude. We will definitely stay here again. P.S they are the first hotel in a while that actually have a room key and not a card. I had to take a picture to share. read more

With the hype of the new hotels in Pismo this is still the hidden gem. This is a quaint 7 room hotel with a homey feel. The rooms are a cross of your grandma's house with updated decor. The quilts on the bed to the bowl of candy on the counter. It's the little touches. Well worth the stay and is perfect location to reach anything downtown. read more

The hotel was so nice and comfortable and Kathie went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, she was so friendly and professional, we will be back just because of her amazing hospitality, shes the type of person you don't forget and was just so welcoming and helpful to our family, we are always planning our next trip back!

Totally over exceeded all of our expectations! Just a few minutes walk and we were in the sand! The room was clean and so cozy, very homey vibe. Thank you Kathie for being a great host and making us feel right at home during our visit!! Will highly recommend to friends and family and see you again soon! read more

My husband and I stayed at Beachcomber Inn back in June 2021 for our anniversary - just getting to the review now - but enjoyed our stay so I did want to make sure to write a good Yelp review. I thought the price was reasonable, considering how close to everything and the beach you are, when other places were charging so much more. It was great to have parking set aside just for the hotel, one space for each room. It is a small hotel, maybe only 8 rooms, which kind of adds to its charm. The room was very clean and decorated quite nicely. It was wonderful that everything was in walking distance and the beach was literally one small block away. I would definitely stay here again. read more

Cute, comfortable and well appointed The B. I. is a great place to stay. The eye level fireplace is soothing. And manager Grace makes you welcome. She is part of why we choose to stay here! read more

One of the best hotels I've stayed at in Pismo! Grace the manager/owner (?) was a gem! Loved her sense of humor. Very welcoming! Room was amazing. Right up there with the larger hotels in the area. Actually nicer than some. So much character! I will definitely be staying again in the future. I'll forfeit an ocean view room for the atmosphere and kindness at this hotel! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Cutest place to stay in Pismo Beach which is an adorable town. A spacious room with a fridge (much appreciated) and everything you need. Very comfortable beds. Not just a chocolate on the bed, but a whole bowl of assorted gourmet chocolates! An easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. But what makes the BeachComber special is Grace who picked us up at the San Luis Obispo train station and took us back the next day! Incredible. She said not to bother with checking out as she didn't need the room. She's a riot. We'll definitely return here. read more

After months of COVID shelter in place, I needed a quick get away in August. I stayed here mid-week to try to minimize contact with weekend crowds. The accommodations were perfect, clean and quaint. I had a quiet room, kitchenette (microwave, sink, coffee maker and mini-refrigerator). The bed was comfortable and the room was stocked with more amenities than I expected. Grace welcomed me upon my arrival. Off street parking is available as the hotel is built on pillars so the parking is underneath. It was in a great location where I could walk easily to the beach and restaurants. read more

Look no further this is by far the cutest hotel in a great location for almosthalf the price as the ones on the beach. This hotel is literally 3 minutes walking distance if that to the beach, pier and many restaurants. Love that there are only 7 rooms at this hotel which makes it so much more pleasant as your not having to deal with a lot of people. Its very quiet. Kathie at the front desk is awesome! Thank you Kathie for making our stay so enjoyable. Kathie is very accommodating. She personally walked us to our room which in all of the years we have traveled and we travel a lot no one has ever walked us to our room. She made sure we had everything we needed. Rooms are super cute and very clean. The rooms also have a kitchenette which is stocked with plates, napkins, cups, utensils, coffee. Barhroom has shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. Do not pass up on booking at this location. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back. read more

I love this spot. Great service. I felt like it was a mini Airbnb. This spot is affordable and in the heart of Pismo.

The best place to stay in Pismo. The owner is the absolute sweetest gal. Love staying here anytime i'm in town. She never fails to ensure that my stay here is comfortable and is worth while. read more

This was our first time to stay at this charming place. The room was very quaint, had everything you would need. Keurig coffeemaker, with a verity of coffee pods.

Bathroom had makeup mirror on the wall, Q tips, makeup remover pads, cotton balls, much more than any other places we have stayed. Fireplace on the wall. Just so roomy & comfortable. Grace is the most charming lady, wants to make sure you are satisfied with the accommodations. We have been telling all our friends about this place & will definitely be back in a couple of months. read more
