About Little Sam's Island & Beach Fun
Little Sam's Island & Beach Fun in Coronado, CA offers rentals for bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and wetsuits right near the sand. Customers frequently highlight the owner's exceptional kindness, accommodating service, and great value pricing across various rental items. This shop is ideal for vacationers and families seeking affordable, friendly service to enhance their island exploration or beach day.
The Good
Customers overwhelmingly praise the owner (Sam) and staff for being incredibly friendly, kind, honest, and providing amazing customer service. Specific highlights include receiving extra free time on bike rentals, receiving discounts on merchandise, and getting helpful tips on bike routes and local spots. Rental prices for bikes, chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards are frequently cited as being the best/cheapest on the island. Equipment quality (bikes, strollers) is generally reported as good or high quality. The shop's location near the beach/Del is also appreciated.
Things to Consider
There are severe, conflicting reports regarding staff demeanor. While most praise the owner, one review details an extremely negative experience where an older gentleman working allegedly acted childish, yelled, and embarrassed the customer over a malfunctioning bike lock. Another review mentioned the owner being rude and refusing a refund for an early equipment return due to an unforeseen emergency (stingray sting). One customer noted receiving curt or rude service from 'Overweight Sam,' describing him as an angry man. Minor notes include one instance of a broken bike lock provided for free, and one comment mentioning they do not accept credit cards (though other reviews confirm they do, suggesting inconsistency or cash incentives).
