Review Detail

Are you saying there were bed bugs in those block beach houses? After you called the office the next day what did they say? I was going to make reservations for a few days, but I’m concerned about staying there after reading your comments. Do you have any details on any follow-up to this? I would be interested in what Camp Pendleton MWR had to say; this is serious stuff!

Yes, I am interested to know the answer to the previous person's comments, too. I have a family of five and we're thinking of staying in the cottages- but definitely NOT if there are bedbugs (no thanks!!).

I have a hard time believing that it was bedbugs, mostly because of the timing of the itching. Bedbugs come out in the middle of the night and the first thing they do is inject pain killer at the site. That means that you don't feel the bite and don't start itching for a few hours. People don't wake up feeling the bites after being asleep for an hour, they find the bites after waking up in the morning. So unless the reviewer actually saw the bedbugs, I'm thinking the kids got bitten by bugs on the beach in the evening. There are lots of different types of bugs that come out in the evenings. I frequently get bites at the beach that start itching a few hours later. I think it's usually gnats.

We'll be staying in a cottage there this weekend with our baby. We always check all the areas where bedbugs could be hiding as soon as we enter a hotel room. It's that rampant nowadays, every place has had them at one time or another. I'll post what we find after we get home.
