The Beachcomber Resort, Avalon

Had a great room on 3rd fl bright and sunny with ocean views from all rooms, very clean and comfortable bed. The landscaped pool area has tables under the trees lovely for lunch. The beach is just across the street and restaurants are in walking distance!

Tried to make a restervation for one night per websites home page" Nightly Reservations Available". Taked to Maryjane and she said no that is for "walkins only". Stated I wanted to talk to a manager and she said,"no manager is on duty, you have to call in the morning and talk to Penny". I find it hard to believe that there is "no' manager to speak with. You would think that in these economic times they would allow nightly restervations as STATED in their HOMEPAGE of THEIR WEBSITE. This lady was so rude.Now, I wouldn't give them my time or MONEY to stay there. As a family we will continue to stay at the Concord Suite. They are always nice, friendly, and the place is CLEAN!!!!

The Beachcomber is a tacky beach motel. It is close to the beach, but that is the only plus. The first room we checked in to had a Murphy bed and a sofa bed. I had no idea there was no real bed. It also smelled terribly of moth balls and everything was old and outdated. I went to the office to complain and they showed me another room, a one bedroom, which looked slightly better, but when I pressed on the bed to see if it felt comfortable, all you could hear was the crunching of the plastic mattress cover. There is no way anyone could ever sleep on that bed. I was then shown a 3rd room. ( I really wanted to leave and stay somewhere nicer though.) That room also had junky, uncomfortable furniture, but at least the bed wasn't crunchy. Unfortunately, it also had an awful smell of moth balls. We had to open all windows and let it air out. The bed was so uncomfortable, I hardly slept, and by the next morning I couldn't wait to leave. When I complained at the desk upon checkout, I was told to stay elsewhere next time and did not get a refund for the additional night I had already paid for. Would never go back !!!

Murphy Bed and Pull out were both horrible! No other bed provided. Will not go back. Could not have stayed a third night.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom 1 bath suite and what a surprise when we opend our door!! It was beautfully decorated and SPOTLESS! There were 3 adults and 3 kids and we had plenty of room. Your only one block from the beach and a "short" drive to downtown Stone Harbor or Avalon! There`s no need to look any further...You will love everything about "The Beachcomber." We will be returning!

We had a fantastic visit. The pool was very nice with fabulous Landscaping. Our Kids loved the beaches that was just one Block away. The staff was always there to help. We had a great time and look forward to getting back there soon. Our son finally learned to swim as we had plenty of time at the pool.

Overall we loved it. The pool and the lifeguard were wonderful. He made the stay fun for our kids. I really don't like the ocean but my kids love it, so it's nice to know they can go there with one parent and I can stay at the pool all day! The room was excellent. My only regret was telling our family about this place, and now we can't get the room we want because they all took them first! The only drawback is that I felt the price for the two bedroom suite was a little high.

What a great place! This will be our 5th visit to the Beachcomber. Units, rooms are tastefully decorated, not at all like a hotel/motel. Only steps to the beach, playground and some great restaurants. In the center there is a beatuiful secluded pool which is heated. Staff is friendly and helpful. A great vacation!

Just returned from our annual visit to the Beachcomber in Avalon, NJ. We love the place!!! We have returned year after year because we are always treated like family, the rooms are spacious and clean and you are steps to the beach. It doesn't get any better than this!!!

LIKES: pleasant front desk personnel ... nice pool area ... Cleanliness DISLIKES: Sofa bed ... circuit breakers ... shower water temp ... musty odor... Service: Front desk personnel were very pleasant and courteous. Room service did a nice job of cleaning up our mess and providing clean linens and towels. Room: Our room was an efficiency unit that had some negative points. The sofa bed was very uncomfortable to sleep on. The other stow-away bed (known as a Murphy bed) was much more comfortable to sleep on. For some reason the circuit breakers to the room were right next to the entrance to the bathroom, where our two year old was able to flip the breakers for entertainment (not good). Not only were the circuit breakers in a bad location, but there was no access door on the circuit breakers either (really not good). There was a slight musty smell to our room. The water temperature in the shower changed on its own (mixing valve was shot). Location: Our room was on the first floor and we were able to park directly in front of the room, which was nice for unloading/loading suitcases, beach stuff, etc. The motel itself is one block away from the beach which also is a plus. I'd give the Beachcomber just an average overall rating. We enjoy vacationing in the Avalon/Stone Harbor area but we'll look to find a different lodging option next summer.
