When it comes time to start planning your upcoming spring break getaway, you, as grown adults, perhaps with children of your own, are not looking for the parties you enjoyed during your single days. You had your good times back then, of course, but today you prefer your own space, your wine to come out of a bottle with a cork and a higher price tag, and your “roommates” (with the exception of your spouse or partner) are far under the drinking age! Coming from the cold Midwest, where chances are a late winter storm will be hitting your town, you want beaches, sunny skies, and the opportunity to wear that new swimsuit you purchased online. What you don’t want, however, is to fight for your space on those beaches, nor do you want to have to explain the birds and the bees to your own littles! Oceanside, California is the solution to your spring break escape, offering a family vacation that will give you everything you want and nothing you don’t need! And because you are long past the days of finding cheap and noisy motels acceptable, our Brick House escapes will offer luxury, charm, and never-ending peeks of the ocean you can’t get enough of, making them the ideal seasonal sanctuary for your Oceanside Spring Break escape to California!

Soak in the Warmth

Of course, you are going to want to start your California adventures with a trip to the beach! The warm air and sunny skies invite you to slip out of your traveling clothes and into your swimwear and flip-flops and walk the short walk to the beach that lies within view of your Brick Hotel escape! Stake your claim on the section of beach that makes you happiest, spreading out your towels, pushing the pole of your umbrella into the sand, and placing your chairs and/or loungers where the view of the water is best. Your cooler filled with beverages and drinks will ensure you don’t have to run back to your sanctuary and a good book will hold your attention until it drops to your chest, your eyes flutter to a close, and you begin to enjoy one of the best naps of your life! The sounds of waves crashing against sandy beaches, the cries of seagulls and other seabirds, and the laughter and chatter of other happy beachgoers will serve as the perfect lullaby for your tired body and brain!

LEGOLAND California, One Legoland Drive in Carlsbad

Traveling with littles can be a tricky proposition as you try to find activities that everyone will enjoy, but we think a visit to LEGOLAND will do just the trick! Located in nearby Carlsbad, and offering rides, food, and the opportunity to explore life under the sea with a visit to their SEA LIFE Aquarium, a day spent at this fun-filled theme park is destined to make your top 10 list of best places to explore with your family! Watch 4D movies starring your favorite Lego characters, explore the new beach house of your Lego friends with a show featuring singing, dancing, and laughter, and enjoy the meet and greets with a variety of characters! Exploring LEGOLAND is a beautiful way to fill some hours of your spring break getaway!

Carlsbad Ranch, 5704 Paseo del Norte in Carlsbad

The incredibly stunning flower gardens of Carlsbad Ranch are always a joy to behold and because not all spring break getaways involve the kiddos, a visit to the ranch can be a romantic addition to your itinerary! Reopening on March 1 in 2023, the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch provide acres of rainbow colors, flower mazes, and, even an opportunity to mine for polished gemstones the old-fashioned way, sluicing through sand and water! Offering butterfly gardens, wagon tours, an American Flag created from flowers, and so much more, this fun escape is also a great place to explore if you are traveling with kids!
