As a fisherman who's spent a great deal of time in historic Point Loma, an older area of San Diego that has been home to generations of military and sport-fishing families, I was thrilled to be contracted (once again by LWP Group) to give a new lease on life to an old run-down no-tell motel on the main drag of Rosecrans.

I always enjoyed working with LWP Founder, Greg Strangman, and Project Manager, Mike Pandolfe, who I worked with on Midway Atoll, and even previously for his Dad, Joe Pandolfe, owner of Pacific Phoenix Construction.

Point Loma has been committed to keeping its WWII era charm and the city must have been excited by LWP's concept to balance modern with 50's style Route 66 destination motels complete with bar, lounge, restaurant, poolside movies and affordable weekend staycation rates.

The Pearl is now indeed a gem of Point Loma with its refined look and retro touches enjoyed as an evening or even overnight destination for events or just dinner for two by the pool, please.
