The California lifestyle is one of laidback fun and tranquil adventures, especially when hanging out or living at the beach. Who needs fancy clothes when shorts and tee shirts will stand up to the salt air and why would you even consider wearing a pair of closed-toe shoes when your flip-flops will navigate sandy beaches just fine? This casually wonderful vibe is reflected in the décor and comforts found in our Brick Hotel Pacific Villas Unit 3 and we thought today would be a great day to shine a spotlight on its charms. Offering 1 peaceful bedroom and 1 spa-like bath, an intimate Oceanside, CA vacation for 2 will be more romantic when you choose this charming escape for your California love nest!
Feel That?
As you open the door and step inside for the first time, your first impression will be of tranquility and comfort. No secrets are harbored in this open-concept floor plan and as you move further in, you will discover constant reminders of the sea in every space. The living room offers a comfy place to sit, cuddle, and watch the television mounted to the wall opposite, a television featuring a crystal clear picture is also one that may never be turned on as you seek peace and quiet from your Oceanside getaway and there are so many other things you may want to do!
The kitchen is a compact space that manages to provide everything you need to create a romantic dinner for two, offering stainless steel appliances, tile countertops, and a stunning turquoise-colored glass backsplash that may have you rethinking the beiges and tans in your own home! This cozy space offers a special treat, a sink placed under the window, giving guests the opportunity to gaze out onto the oceans as they wash up after dinner. 2 wood and metal barstools belly up to the breakfast bar giving guests a joyful spot to enjoy a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee every morning before heading out to enjoy some Oceanside adventures and yes, a coffee maker is happily resting on the counters of the kitchen ensuring that every day will be well-caffeinated ones! And although there are no formal dining spaces in Unit 3, a marble coffee table placed in front of the plush dove-gray sofa makes the perfect spot to enjoy an evening meal as you watch television or engage in deep conversations about your dreams for the future!
Large windows in the living room and a glass and wood door allow you to always keep the sea in your line of vision and when you want to get even closer, the balcony outside your space provides extra seating and exquisite views of turquoise waters and sandy beaches. Sit out here with the ocean breezes kissing your cheeks, listening to the roar of the ocean, and reevaluating your choice in life to live somewhere without an ocean in your backyard!
Peaceful Nights
Less is more in this beautiful escape and the bedroom is a simple example of this phrase. Anchored by a plush queen bed offering a padded headboard, the crisp white walls, and collage of black and white beach pics provides a night filled with happy dreams and deep sleep. Read one more chapter of the book you carried with you in your travels before dropping off into the sweet oblivion that you may not often find for yourself at home. The solo bath of Unit 3 in our Pacific Villas escape is a modern space, offering updated fixtures, subway tile-lined walls in the walk-in shower, and a beautiful contrast to the historic accents of the structure that was built in the 1940s. The blend of modern and vintage is a constant in this beautiful building that has stood the test of time, something that doesn’t happen often in properties located this close to the ocean. Throughout the space, the décor of Unit 3 offers that casual and carefree vibe of the sea, apparent in turquoise accent pieces and photos on the wall, perhaps giving guests a hint of what to expect from their time in Oceanside!

Fall is inarguably the most beautiful season of the year and although most of us are back in school, behind our desks, or are just firmly ensconced in real life, some of our favorite people are getting to enjoy its beauty from the comforts offered in our Brick Hotel magical escapes! And although you may find yourself walking on the beach feeling the sand squish between your bare toes in the moonlight rather than huddling in front of a roaring fire and sipping a cup of cocoa for extra warmth, we think you will love every second of your beachy escape! If you are one of the lucky ones spending a part of autumn in the beauty of Oceanside, this guide to the fall activities in Oceanside you can enjoy during your visit will perhaps lead to a new seasonal tradition, spending time with us!
Rise with the Sun on Cool Mornings
Vacations are meant to be filled with lazy days, but at least once during your getaway to Oceanside, we recommend waking up early and watching the sun rise over the sea. The mornings are cool, so a jacket may be necessary, but don’t worry about makeup, hair, or even the fact that you are still in your jammies, Mother Nature doesn’t care if you dress up and her show promises to be spectacular no matter how casual you are! After the big show, you can always go back to bed and sleep for a couple of more hours; the linens will probably still be warm enough to take the chill off your skin!
Fall at the Farmers Market
We think Farmers Markets are so awesome, we actually offer 2; Oceanside Morning Farmers Market is held on Thursdays from 9 AM until 1 PM at N Coast Highway &, Pier View Way, and naturally, Oceanside Sunset Market is also held on Thursdays from 5 PM until 9 PM at 401 Pier View Way! Choose the morning you rose with the sun, stopping by Beach Break Café, 1802 S Coast Highway for the best pancakes in the state, making sure you arrive at the market in time for opening; you want to get the best of what’s available, not what’s left over after being picked through by early risers! Or combine the beauty of the sunset with the fun and wonders found at Oceanside Sunset Market! Offering a food court, live entertainment, and a huge selection of vendors selling everything from apples to zithers, if you can’t find it here you probably didn’t need it anyway!
Whale Watching Adventures
Every season is the best season to watch whales, but Gray Whale watching season does start at the end of November and Oceanside Adventures has the perfect tour for you! Offering tours aboard their luxury catamarans that last approximately two hours, the guides take you to where the whales like to congregate, and when you see the magnificent beasts breach the surface for the first time you will understand why this activity is such a popular one!

Taste of Oceanside, taking place on Saturday, October 1st from 2 to 5 PM offers a selection of the best nibbles in the state, as well as beer and wine.

Choose to spend at least one day of your fall escape exploring the wonders of your Brick Hotel seasonal sanctuary! Sleep in late, wake up on your terms and take a freshly brewed cup of coffee out to the balcony to watch the goings on below. The sea is known for its tranquility and its ability to restore whatever ails you and if your escape offers a peek at the Pacific, you will immediately notice the noises in your brain quieting and the tattered edges of your soul rending together. The cool sea breezes, the briny smell of the water, and the roar of waves crashing against the sandy shores; these moments will help prepare you for the crazy days that lie ahead as the holiday madness begins!

The history of Oceanside reveals itself in the charms found in our Brick Hotel Pacific Villas Unit 6. Built in the 1940s and recently renovated to ensure modern conveniences coexist with cozy comforts, this 1 bedroom, 1 bath escape offers the perfect getaway for up to 4 guests. Perched on the second floor of the Pacific Villas community, partial ocean views ensure that the compact balcony will offer the best seat in the Oceanside condo. Nautical accents throughout serve as a reminder that frolicking in the surf will be a popular hobby and crisp white walls keep the rooms light and bright.
Charm and Whimsy
Cobbled bricks and a bright turquoise-hued door lead guests into an open concept floor plan that harbors no secrets and provides guests of the Brick Hotel with an immediate sense of peace, serenity, and belonging. The living room may be compact, but the plush sofa topped with fabric the color of a stormy sky provides extra comfort and second sleeping space as it pulls out into a queen bed. A state-of-the-art television hangs on the wall opposite, providing late-night entertainment for the night owls in your traveling group and a beehive fireplace, a tribute to its nearly 100-year-old existence brings romance and additional charm to the space. A gallery wall of black and white photographs framed in bright turquoise adds a touch of charm to the room, with the vibrant color repeating itself in lampshades, throw pillows, and tchotchkes that sit atop the mantel of the fireplace.
In the corner opposite the fireplace, a small desk offers a great place to sit and surf on your laptop and although there is no designated dining room, the surfboard topped breakfast bar gives occupants a whimsical place to enjoy a quick meal prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. Yes, a polished wooden surfboard creates an ideal eating surface, and two wooden saddle stools that front the breakfast bar are comfortable and unique. A space-age ceiling fan with sleek black blades keeps guests cool on warmer days and a single French door made of wood and glass leads guests out to a patio that doesn’t just offer the ocean views we spoke of earlier, it also offers the perfect spot in which to sit, sip, and watch the sunset over the sea. Two Adirondack chairs, separated by a generously sized table perfect for holding your beverages and dinner plates while the turquoise cushioned rocker in the corner could be the spot where the best naps are enjoyed as occupants are lulled to sleep by the rocking motion of the chair and the lullaby provided by waves crashing on the beach.
The kitchen retains much of its 20th-century charms with its custom cabinetry retro-inspired door knobs, but its stainless steel appliances keep it firmly ensconced in the 21st century. Smaller sized to be able to fit into the compact footprint of the condo, there is still plenty of room to store your foodstuffs and beverages in the refrigerator and even though there is not a dishwasher washing dishes by hand will not be a chore as the sink is placed to also enjoy views of the ocean! How can you be less than happy when all the natural beauty of Oceanside is peeking back at you through the window, which also opens to enjoy ocean breezes? Accented with a bright turquoise tile backsplash the kitchen is a picture-perfect example of joy, even if chores are involved! A coffee maker and microwave complete this portrait of morning meals and late-night snacks, ensuring that every day will start out properly caffeinated and well-fed.
The sole bathroom is a beautiful modern space featuring subway tile walls in the walk-in shower, a niche for holding your own toiletries as well as a wall-hanging dispenser filled with quality gel, shampoo, and conditioner for guests’ convenience. A single vanity topped with a stone counter and updated fixtures face a cottage framed mirror and fluffy white towels will feel soft against slightly sunburned skin. The bedroom of Unit 6 is a tranquil space, dominated by a Queen bed topped with silky soft linens and a premium mattress. Downstairs and outside a barbecue grill is provided for the guest’s use and a small laundry room containing two full-sized washers and dryers allows travelers to pack light and save room for souvenirs; if they can tear themselves away from the beach that is located just across the street, that is!

And because 2022 has given us the bonus of an extra 3-day weekend with the 4th of July falling on a Monday, many travelers are making their way to Oceanside to celebrate in all the right all-American ways, starting by choosing the Brick Hotel to shelter them during their patriotic festivities!

Watch the Sunrise Over the Sea
Our forefathers sacrificed everything so we could enjoy the simple beauty of a sunrise over the sea in freedom and peace and if you have never witnessed what is surely Mother Nature’s most spectacular display, your Oceanside getaway is the perfect time to do so. Head to the nearest beach in the pre-dawn hours and find your spot in the sand, watching the sky turn from inky black to dusky gray, and as the first traces of pink start to appear, the peace you find from this simple activity will serve as confirmation that there is no better place on earth to live and love. The sounds of the waves crashing against the sandy shores, the feel of sand between your toes, and the scent of the ocean tickling your nose is the best way we can think of to start celebrating the most beautiful country in the world! And when the sky turns blue and the sun is a bright golden orb in the center, no one will judge you for returning to your comfortable quarters in our Sandcastle Condominiums and climbing between silky soft sheets for a couple more hours of sweet oblivion!
Picnic in the Park
A picnic in the park is always a good idea and when you take the party to Buccaneer Park you can finish off your meal with a swim in the ocean that is just across the street! Buccaneer Beach and Buccaneer Park offer our favorite way to celebrate our nation’s birthday and we think it will be something that you will love as well. Let the kids play on the playground as you grill your burgers and hot dogs on the provided barbecues and spread out your Independence Day feast on picnic tables under the shade of the pavilions. Also offering basketball courts and an idyllic landscape, once the meal has been finished and all have been cleared away, you can finish your celebration with a dip in the sea. Buccaneer Beach is a small beach bordered by homes and large boulders and is the smallest beach that offers a manned lifeguard station!
Fireworks for the Win
The past couple of years proved that we could still celebrate the holiday, even without fireworks, but we are so happy that life is returning to normal and the fireworks displays are on once again. Here in Oceanside, we are celebrating on the 3rd of July which is also the 134th birthday of our coastal town and the show is guaranteed to be epic! Held at SoCal Soccer Complex at El Corazon, the gates will open at 5 so bring your chairs, your coolers, and your appetite for fun, but leave your pets and alcohol behind for this family-friendly event! Food vendors will be on hand to feed the hungry, live entertainment will keep you entertained until the big display begins, and a family fun zone offers inflatables for the kiddos! When the night skies turn that inky black all attention will be directed at the colorful explosions that take place overhead, making us all happy to be an American. And if you haven’t got your fill of fireworks at the end of this show, Lake Murray in San Diego (just 40 miles south of Oceanside) is offering their own Fourth of July celebration ON the Fourth of July, featuring live music, more great food, and all the fun you can handle!
