We fell in love with the Beachcomber and all it stands for. Great people, great rooms, great area, great views, all GREAT!Maureen is awesome and so easy to communicate with, she makes it such a wonderful place along with everything they have to offer. If you like fancy, modern, ritzy, etc, then you DO NOT need to stay here. Please leave it for us to enjoy just the way it is!!Thanks to everyone for a wonderful vacation and well see you again next summer!

Unit 13 for BEST VIEW! :) It was so relaxing and the PERFECT location. You could walk right to the beach from your room! Everyone was super friendly. The pool makes for a great addition. I loved waking up to my beach view everyday! I would recommend this to anyone! 10/10

Only accepts reservations for 3 or more nights. Thats too bad; Im in town for only two days, and wont be a patron of this location. As a business owner, I cant seem to wrap my head around saying no to income. Fare thee well!

Visiting family and the place is always a pleasure to visit and stay at! I once checked out and realized when I got home that I had left my gold ring behind on the night stand called the hotel and to my surprise and delight Maureen called me to tell me she go found it!! I had it on my finger 2days later!

Awesome place right on the beach!! It is older, but so wonderfully maintained it is fantastic!! Close to everything you will need and an easy walk to town. My only criticism is the lack of shade by the pool. If like me you want shade while your sweetie enjoys the sun, your only option is to sit in the grill cabana. No fun.

We recently spent a week at the Beachcomber in Venice Beach, it was our second visit. This is the only hotel situated directly on the beach in Venice and the sunsets are spectacular. Our room was very much like a small apartment with a full kitchen, sitting room, bedroom and bathroom. The Beachcomber has an authentic Vintage Florida vibe that I love. The manager was very friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Beachcomber in Venice is a charming, clean, quiet place to stay where youll have a private beach nearly all to yourself. Great for sunsets and picking up sharks teeth.

Just enjoyed another relaxing holiday weekend at the Beachcomber with my family and friends. The property is well maintained. All of the rooms are clean and neat and include a well supplied kitchen. The management and staff are friendly and very accommodating to their guests needs. We cant wait to go back there again! We already have reservations for two more visits next year.

Have stayed at the Beachcomber for several years now. Maureen is fantastic to work with. Our room is always clean and perfect for the beach. The beachfront access is excellent and lack if commercialism is just what we like about Old Florida.

This gem has been the secret destination for a few select families for up to 3 generations. Built in the 60s as a motel on the beach, within walking distance to downtown Venice, it went condo in the early 70s. 18 rental units on 2 stories are individually owned and decorated. Many people select their favorite unit and return around the same time year after year. This results in a super-friendly atmosphere because vacationers develop friendships that last for years. For many, the Beachcomber in Venice is a family tradition. If you can find a spot - grab it !!!

My husband and I just returned from a week at the Beachcomer. We had a great time. We stayed in Unit 14. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Dont go there if you are expecting modern luxury. The facilities are obviously dated, but they are clean. The Beachcomer sits oceanfront and affords beautiful views of the sunsets. The only negative thing we experienced was that the mattresses were not comfortable at all. I dont know if they are specific to this unit.

My family and I have been visiting the Beachcomber for 39 years. We come 2 or 3 times every year. Needless to say we love it! This is a family place, not necessarily the place for you if you want to stay up all night and get drunk. Sea turtles come ashore and lay their eggs along the beach here during their season, THIS is why there is a lights out rule every night! The lights at night confuse the turtles trying to come on shore to lay their eggs. MY family and I are more than happy to oblige. We make our reservations a year in advance to ensure we can come, and I assure you, if the pillows stunk We would not continue to visit! Over the years I have seen improvements made to all of the rooms as well as the grounds on an annual basis. New paint, appliances, bathroom upgrades and the pool have all been renovated. I will admit that years ago when people were allowed to smoke it was off putting but now smoking is not allowed in the public areas or in the rooms. I am a native Floridian and a professional, I have visited many beachfront resorts, hotels and spas along Floridas coastline for both business and pleasure and this is the place I choose to keep coming back to. This is like a second home for myself, my three children and my parents. The bad reviews make me sad, however it means less competition on the 4th of July when we want to visit!

Review №43

This was my familys destination over the 4th of July week for the last 37 years. With 3 generations from 4 different families totaling 30+ people who have been attending each year. We have different levels of income attending so this has been a decent choice due to the beach access and inexpensive rates. However, we have put up with many discomforts over the years in order to accommodate our families tradition.Due to poor management we have now been told we can no longer book our normal annual trip. Management gave us the option for the 30+ of us to all move our vacation week up a week. We were informed they will no longer accommodate our vacation the week of the 4th claiming there are others who may want to book at the end of the summer. Personally, I am happy to find a new place for our vacation for the reasons below.Over the many years I have stayed in every room the Beachcomber has to offer. There is truly only 1 room worth paying to stay in. The beds are hard with very cheap mattresses, all rooms smell of mold, the plumbing is a continued problem, we always have some maintenance person needing to come out during our stay, the furniture is old and worn out, couches smell of other peoples sweat and look dirty, there is painted over rust on the appliances, the bathrooms are extremely dated with very little updates since originally built, the dishes are very old and stained, pots and pans are cheap and food sticks to them, the walls are solid but you can hear every move the people above you make if on the 1st floor.The outside is fairly decently kept up with the exception of the old shuffleboard that hasnt been updated in about 20 years. The cleaning crew ladies are all very nice and several of them we have known for years. The Manager has always been difficult since she has been in her role. We try to avoid her as much as possible. If you are a smoker it is not allowed anywhere on the property expect for outside by the trash cans and under the windows of 2 rooms. If you stay in those rooms you can put up with the smokers out there at all hours of the night and smell their smoke. Even electric cigarettes are now being band from the property. Lights out and fans off at dark so bring your flashlights and fans if you want to play cards or games in the outdated common area.If you are looking for a cheap place to stay on the beach you have found the place. Bring your air fresheners, your own pillows, a thick mattress pad, fans, and much more. Be prepared to get what you are paying for.
