We rented the Dancing Fish Cottage for a week..WHAT A MISTAKE!!! We drove all the way from Plano, Texas. The first night my husband woke me up to tell me there was a cockroach on the bed. When we looked under the bed there was a beer bottle with chewed up tobacco and a wet t-shirt. The next morning there... more

My husband and I discovered the Beachcomber by accident in 2002. We got a walk in rate for one night. All I can say is that this is the first place we want to stay when we get to the island. We have been back over 20 times in 6 years.Every summer we stay for a week for our family... more

We were happy with our stay in the Penthouse last year, so this year we e-mailed for prices to repeat our stay. The price had gone up by $18 a night, which was much more than the properties of comparable quality, and the owner was rude. Other people have said that he was rude to them but we didn't mind... more

We have not raised rates in over 5 years. This person propbably received a special walk-in rate(if we are not full and someone walks in, we sometimes offer one time lower rates.) and wanted to duplicate this for an advance reservation rate. Our rates are not only competitive, they are the lowest for the location and aminities we have.

My family visited Port A most summers when I was growing up, and for the vast majority of those summers, we stayed at the Beachcomber. It was so conveniently located and had that beachy feel. My nostalgia for the Beachcomber had me insisting on staying there for a couple of nights on my honeymoon as well. But years later, bringing... more

It is too bad they waited two years to post this review. During this time, several updates of the property have been accomplished. We still are the lowest priced condos for the location and amenities.We are the closest hotel/condos to the beach on Ave. G. We are the only condo with a large enclosed Hot Tub. We have a salt...

The owner of this hotel expects you to treat this place as though you were family. You spend hundreds of dollars to rent the rooms and get verbally abused when the kitchen floor is not swept. The family that owns this condo has no concept of service for payment.. We were yelled at by the owner and his cleaning lady... more

This person evidently got their feelings hurt because I informed them that their unit was left in a shambles on the last stay. They have stayed with us a total of 32 days in the last 4 years. "Bottom Line", they stayed with us for seven days just two months after they wrote this nasty review.

Took the family on a long weekend and loved this place. It was great to be able to walk to the beach instead of taking the car. It was also great to just relax on property, sit on the deck and watch the kids play. We wil be back and tell our friends. more

We stayed here over the winter holidays and everything was absolutely awesome! The rooms were very nice and well equiped, the family treats you just like family, the pool and hot tub were clean and a lot of fun. Plus the awesome benefit of a 3 minute walk to the beach. Some rooms you can even see the ocean and... more

Some of the rooms are nice, but the one I had was not cool at all. I had no idea I would have to take out my own trash and wash dishes.They are additonal fees . I can see cleaning up the dishes. But this is supposed to be a vacation!! The pool was dirty. more

The Hotel is run by a family who make you feel like your one of their own, nothing is too much trouble for them, Pool and Hot Tub were excellent and its almost on the Beach. The rooms are large and comfortable with everything you need. more
