Heading out on a last-minute trip is always a great feeling. You get the opportunity to escape from your daily responsibilities for a few days and simply relax. Last-minute vacations can be difficult to figure out, especially when you are heading somewhere difficult to reach. Instead, come join us here at the beach by making your way to Oceanside. Our Southern California community is part of the greater San Diego region and will welcome you with open arms. You will find the perfect relaxation vibes. Take a look at what planning a last-minute Oceanside vacation can look like for you:
Beach Time All the Time
You simply cannot go to Southern California and not spend time at the beach. When you vacation to Oceanside, you will not be far at all from the beach. One of the many great things about Southern California is that the sun is always shining, and the weather does not change drastically between the seasons. That means you can always hit the beach no matter what time of year you are visiting. Our city is appropriately named, as it is located right on the shore, allowing you to get to the beach whenever.
Perhaps the most popular beach to spend your time at is Oceanside City Beach. Many locals and visitors all report that it is a very clean beach from the sandy beach to the clear water. Oceanside City Beach can get busy on the weekends, but parking is more available than you would expect. Lifeguards are on duty and always attentive. You simply cannot beat the sunset views as the sun drifts off behind the horizon.
Another great beach to visit is Oceanside Harbor Beach. You will be located right by the harbor allowing you to take in views of ships leaving and arriving throughout the day. There are plenty of shaded picnic areas and public restrooms.
Regardless of what beach you end up at you can always walk the shoreline for a romantic walk, head on over to the pier, or check out the local restaurants scattered about. Life is always best enjoyed when you are relaxing on a sandy beach here in Oceanside.
Check out Oceanside Pier
The Oceanside Pier is always easy to spot, so making your way to it should be a breeze. Regardless of what time of year you visit Oceanside, a stop by Oceanside Pier is sure to be a treat. This historic pier was originally built in 1888 (and has been rebuilt several times since then due to sea damages) and offers an iconic photo backdrop. Head out to the end of the pier to find one of the best fishing areas in the city. Local shops in the area will help you get all the fishing gear you need for a successful day of angling.
If you prefer to just watch, you will find the pier to be the best spot in the area for whale watching. Our ocean waters are known to be the home of dolphins and seals, but they spend most of their time below the water. Luckily, humpback whale and blue whales prefer to reach the surface to spout out water that is easily to see from the pier. This free activity will be a great way for your children to develop long lasting memories of your trip.
You can also check out the amphitheater located at the foot of the pier where some incredible concerts have taken place. Many of the citywide celebrations such as Cinco de Mayo and Juneteenth also take place at the amphitheater, putting it to use all year round!
Book a Room at The Brick Hotel
Perhaps the one stressful part of planning any last-minute trip somewhere is lodging. Luckily we have you covered on that front by making it easier than ever to find a room at The Brick Hotel. Our local hotel is found in a historic brick building that adds character and convenience with it being close to many of these Oceanside activities. We offer a variety of Oceanside rentals filled with unique amenities found nowhere else. In addition to the rooms, you will find the onsite restaurants to be a delight. Head upstairs to the rooftop, where you can find our popular Cococabana Rooftop Bar. The drinks are paired perfectly with the sunset views. For something delicious check out Q & A Restaurant and Oyster Bar that is the perfect spot for a romantic meal for two. Other options also include Succulent Coffee, Frankie’s Cocktail Lounge, and Stone Beer Garden. Don’t miss out on a truly incredible stay. The Brick Hotel is waiting on you for your next Oceanside getaway.
We completely understand the desire to vacation in Oceanside. We are located right by beautiful beaches, and you have so many activities at your fingertips. Oceanside truly is a vacation paradise, and we invite you to visit again this fall. The weather does not change drastically here in Southern California, so expect plenty of time by the beach. Of course, when you visit in the fall you will have to plan around a few different holidays. The kids always love celebrating Halloween, so you will want to keep that in mind. Luckily, there are quite a few places you can trick-or-treat safely when spending Halloween in Oceanside. Take a look at the best places in Oceanside for trick-or-treating:

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!
The Brick House Seasonal Sanctuary of Your Dreams
The beauty of your California spring break adventures will be multiplied when you choose the Brick Hotel for your spring sanctuary! Offering comfort, style, and a prime location within sight of the sea, the tranquility you seek will immediately be apparent upon your first steps inside. Play board games with the children, watch television on a rare rainy evening, and sleep deeply and happily in premium beds topped with the softest of linens! And when you sit out on the balcony, sipping a glass of your favorite beverage and watching the sunset over the waters, you will know that this moment right here is the one that will bring you happiness and joy for years to come! Reserve your favorite escape today and come home to the Brick Hotel for spring break in 2023!
The beauty of Oceanside deserves to be revealed and when you want to make your vacation dreams come true, exploring its beauty while choosing to stay in one of our Brick Hotel’s most cozy escapes promises to be the best way to accomplish both. We love our town on the ocean and we adore our Pacific Villas Unit 4 Oceanside vacation rental, a space that blends the modern with the vintage as it reflects the charms of the town. Today we are shining a spotlight on a vacation that can only be described as perfect as you enjoy long days of sun and sea and long nights of deep sleep and tranquil dreams. We invite you to take a few minutes out of your day, pour yourself your favorite beverage, and explore our portrait of a perfect vacation in the perfect vacation home.
Step into Comfort
Turquoise is the color of choice for jewelry, the color of the sea when the sun shines down on it, and the color that graces the front door of Pacific Villas Unit 4. A small seating area off to the side of the door also offers a touch of turquoise in the basket chairs placed there to help enjoy another angle of the Pacific Ocean but may soon be forgotten when you step inside for the first time. The footprint of Unit 4 is a cozy one, but bright white walls and generous windows will make the space seem much larger than it really is. Offering an open-concept floor plan, there are no secrets in this charming escape, just multiple ways to do your own thing while staying connected to your traveling companions.
A wide planked engineered flooring stained the color of driftwood lying on the beach leads the way to a cozy living room anchored by a navy blue velvet couch that we can attest will be the perfect spot to enjoy a nap on a lazy afternoon. Open the windows to let the ocean breezes sweep over you and allow the sounds of the waves crashing against the sandy beaches just below act as a peaceful lullaby. A beehive fireplace painted white and tucked away in the corner adds vintage charm and the television mounted to the wall at the corner of the breakfast bar provides a modern touch that will be much appreciated. This cozy condo doesn’t offer a dining room, per se, but the aforementioned breakfast bar provides the ideal spot to enjoy every meal if you choose to eat “at home.”
The kitchen of Unit 4 offers the charm of a much larger space and the turquoise glass tile backsplash adds drama to the room. Offering everything you need to create a feast or keep your beverages cold, the 4 burner gas range, refrigerator, and microwave are high-end ones of stainless steel. There is no dishwasher in the compact kitchen, but you may not mind the chore of washing dishes when performed in front of a window that offers more views of the sea! Now, this Pacific Villas unit is designed to be a cozy escape, built for couples in love or single travelers and offering sleeping space for 2 in the large single bedroom. Offering a comfortable queen bed and easy access to the solo bathroom, sleep will come easy after a long day of play in Oceanside, and dreams are destined to be happy ones. The bathroom offers a walk-in shower and updated fixtures and complimentary shampoo, bath gel, and conditioner can be found in the subway-tiled shower.
The Balcony You Will Never Want to Leave
The back balcony of Unit 4 offers virtually unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and conveniently provides 2 comfortable seats that are arguably the best seats in the house. Sitting out here on a sunny day, watching the ever-changing sea and the people that have come to play is a treat you will never forget, especially at sunset. The colors in the sky reflect on the surface of the water and as the sun slowly dips below the horizon, the sky darkens, and the stars start to blink on, one by one, you may find yourself never wanting to leave this chair, this balcony, this corner of paradise! Stormy days can be spent inside playing games or watching television, but the protection of the roof will allow you to come outside and watch Mother Nature throw a serious temper tantrum!
