When you really want to experience a Thanksgiving for which you can be thankful, sometimes the best way to do so is to get away. Fly away to someplace warm and beautiful, perhaps a place that offers sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and a tropical escape that will make you forget any issues or problems you may be currently experiencing! Pick a vacation abode that makes you feel comfortable and welcomed and also offers a beautiful kitchen so that you can choose to create a Thanksgiving feast or use it simply to heat up an already prepared meal purchased at the local grocery store. Having your immediate family close will provide the love that this thankful holiday needs, and being away from the cold weather and potential cranky dispositions of your more distant family member will give your soul the respite it needs! And because all of the above can be found in our rentals at The Brick Hotel in the beautiful town of Oceanside, we think that a California Thanksgiving vacation is destined to be a dream come true!

The Big Meal

Yes, let’s get right down to the star of this delicious holiday, the big meal. If you are getting away from your home this holiday, chances are you are looking for someone else to do the cooking. (And if you still want to cook, later on down this page we will discuss the kitchens at The Brick Hotel) Lucky for you, our coastal city understands your needs and offers quite a few choices for enjoying a Thanksgiving feast prepared, served, and cleared away by others! Enjoy farm-to-table deliciousness at Piper Oceanside, 105 Mission Avenue, or take a scenic drive along the coast to explore the elegant options prepared at Adelaide at L’Auberge Del Mar, 1540 Camino Del Mar in Del Mar. Our proximity to San Diego expands your choices for a delicious meal on Thanksgiving Day, and if you are looking for something exceptionally different to dine on, look no further than Animae, 969 Pacific Highway in San Diego. If you are a fan of the traditional turkey dinner, Animae may not be your cup of tea but if you like to walk on the wild side and you think that caviar shrimp toast and Chinese sausage jam sounds exciting and delicious, we suggest you make your reservations today before you miss out on a meal you will be thankful for!

Black Friday

We are very happy that most stores will be staying closed on Thanksgiving Day, allowing employees to stay home with their own families, and we are even more excited that starting bright and reasonably early in Oceanside on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the stores will open again with some really incredible deals! Every store in town is destined to offer something you can’t live without, but a stop by Ozone at 102 Mission Avenue promises to bring you to new heights of delight! Offering fashionable clothing for men, women, and kids, it’s their lifestyle merchandise that really makes us smile and is the section where you will find the best gifts for everyone on your shopping list. Christian Lacroix notecards for the teachers in your life, Andy Warhol photo books for your own budding artist, and incredible body care items for your female friends are just a few things that caught our eye on earlier shopping trips, but we promise, there is so much more to buy and enjoy, you may not make it to any other stores on Black Friday! That’s ok, though, as the Black Friday deals generally last throughout the weekend, giving you a couple of more opportunities to get your shopping done.

Home Sweet Home

The best part of your Thanksgiving getaway, however, may just be the moments you spend enjoying the comforts found in our home sweet homes at The Brick Hotel! State-of-the-art televisions give crystal-clear pictures of the big Thanksgiving parade in New York City, and comfortable sofas offer a soft place to nap when the tryptophan from the turkey causes you to drift off to sleep! Fully equipped kitchens make it easy to prepare the family feast, and when it is time to clean up after, standing in front of large windows that look out over the Pacific Ocean will take your mind off the drudgery of the chores you are completing and give you a few more moments of peace and serenity! As a matter of fact, we suggest you put off the clean up for a few minutes and sit out on the balconies, raising a toast in celebration of the holiday and the stunning California sunset that helps affirm your decision to spend this Thanksgiving in paradise! The sandy beaches are just over there, so slip on your flip flops, grab some sunscreen and some beautiful moments with the family with your toes in the sand and know that you have never been this thankful before!
