Our family stayed at the Carlsbad Seapointe resort the second week of this October, 2015.  This resort is just one of many great Carlsbad timeshares in San Diego county.  The weather was beautiful, and we were fortunate enough to miss the summer crowds.  The Carlsbad Seapointe resort is located on a secluded bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  It sits along the legendary Pacific Coast Highway, which takes just a few minutes’ drive to Carlsbad Village; a cute beach town filled with shopping, restaurants, cafés and local pubs. 

This resort is family friendly and ideal for resort travelers that enjoy vacationing close to the beach, but also want easy access to local attractions, such as Legoland (which is less than 1 mile away), San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Seaworld and downtown San Diego, all of which are less than half hour drive away.  The beach is accessed by crossing the PCH, then walking 5 minutes down the PCH to the beach.

The property has a very lush and tropical feel to it and offers several amenities such as 2 heated swimming pools (one of which has a fun kids splash pad), a tennis court, a fitness center, 2 jacuzzis and BBQ grills through-out.  Being steps away from the beach, the resort also offers day use of beach equipment such as beach chairs, umbrella’s, beach towels, wagons, boogie boards, beach balls and sand toys.
​
The resort features spacious one and two bedroom condominium-style rooms with either a patio or a balcony facing the ocean, which have spectacular sunset views!  One possible concern was that the units on the east side of the resort are fairly close to the rail line.  However, we didn't hear any trains after about 9pm, and our 2 year-old son loved watching the trains go by!  All in all, Carlsbad Seapointe is a really nice beach-friendly resort with a relaxing atmosphere.  

One of the great benefits of owning a Lawrence Welk timeshare in Escondido, CA is the ability to have "day use" of the resort facilities, especially the pools and splash pads.  This benefit comes with ownership in the Resort Villas, Villas on the Green, and for Platinum Points members.  Even the smallest, 90k every-other-year package gives you day use at the Resort.  

Last Sunday we loaded up the kids and took advantage of "day use" to enjoy this late summer weather at the Resort.  Once you get to the Resort, simply check-in with the guest booth outside the lobby, and you will exchange your owner's card for a pool key.  Then drive to the pool of your choice and enjoy the day!  

We really like the pool and splash pad at the Mountain Springs rec center, but this is the only pool where you can't bring your own cooler of food and drinks.  You can purchase food and drinks at the west end of the pool.
