Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort ReviewSouthern California is one of our favorite summer destinations. At just a 5-6 hour drive from Phoenix, it’s a great option for escaping the summer heat and getting some beach time! So, we were thrilled when ResorTime reached out about coming to experience the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort. Doesn’t the property look SO nice?! It has such a charming feel to it! Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort PropertyThe Carlsbad Inn is managed by Grand Pacific Resort (the parent company of ResorTime). The resort offers boutique hotel accommodations, condos and vacation rentals. Given the close proximity to the beach and the full kitchen in the resort condominiums, the Carlsbad Inn is a great option for families. Our condo featured a king-sized bed in the bedroom and a queen-sized sofa sleeper in the living area. We LOVE having a separate area like this so we can put the kids to bed, but still have the tv on in another room. The condo also featured a fully-equipped kitchen – a HUGE plus when traveling with kids! Carsbad Inn ResorTime CondoIt was a great amount of space for us – at one point we had two strollers, a pack ‘n play, multiple bags, and the sofa sleeper pulled out. Yet, we still had plenty of room to move around. The boys don’t take showers yet, so there was a little meltdown from the youngest two that they couldn’t take a bath. But, we worked around that and everything else was perfect for us! Honestly, our king-sized bed was THE most comfortable hotel/condo bed I have EVER slept on! Truly! If I could have taken the mattress home with me, I would have! And, we were so happy to have two spaces – and the “living area” really was quite spacious!

The view wasn’t too shabby either! 😉 Carlsbad Inn ViewThe grounds of the resort were so lovely. In addition to the pool & hot tub, the center courtyard had various tables and lounge chairs in open grass. Our boys loved having some open space to run around a bit, but they also enjoyed just kicking back. I LOVE this photo of all the boys (ours & Allison’s from All for the Boys)! Carlsbad Inn CourtyardWe loved this space so much that one night we actually just ate a late dinner in the courtyard after picking up some food from one of the near-by restaurants. There are a couple of fire pits you could sit around at night (all we were missing was s’mores supplies). The resort also has an activity center where you can check out items (including jogging strollers, boogie boards, and a whole bunch of beach gear) and a playground on-site for the kids. Very family friendly! Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort For FamiliesAs nice as the property is though, the real draw is just a few steps away – the beautiful beach!! The boys were SOOOO excited! We could have spent the entire weekend just hanging out in the sand & waves! From the property, we just had to cross one residential street & take a stairway down to the beach. It took us less than 5 minutes from our room to the water’s edge (and that’s from a 3rd floor room with 3 little ones & a whole bunch of beach gear in tow). So, we actually did 3 separate times down on the beach in less than a 24-hour period…and the boys loved every minute. We built sand castles, hunted for seashells, caught sand crabs, and did a lot of splashing in the water–having fun and making family memories.

  1. We LOVE Carlsbad Inn!! Everything you said about it is true & yes, it IS charming! It’s one of our favorite places in the world! We’ve owned a unit there for years, but sadly, we JUST sold it, as in it closed just a few days ago. We spent our last family vacation there in May. Our family is so huge, so we bought a much larger unit with Grand Pacific Resorts, still in Carlsbad over by Legoland, but we will still always use the beach by Carlsbad Inn! We’re you aware that Carlsbad Inn will check out all the beach equipment you need RIGHT AT THE BEACH? Chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, even buckets & shovels for the kids. You don’t have to drag anything but towels & sunscreen up & down the stairs, everything else is at the bottom of the stairs, 2 steps from the sand.

    Anyway, so glad you got to enjoy that slice of heaven!

  2. Seriously, I live 20 minutes away from here and have never been there! Will have to recommend it to our upcoming guests so we can hang out there with them! Beautiful.

  3. The Carlsbad Inn is our most favorite place to stay! My husband and I took our very first road trip together there while dating 12 years ago. We always stop in Carlsbad when we are visiting Southern California (every 6-8 weeks) because we love it so much and have made many many family memories there! We love the resort, the beach, the restaurants, the little town…literally everything about Carlsbad! We already have a full week booked there during spring break next year but will definitely be stopping by many more times before then. ResorTime looks like a great way to book travel…thanks for sharing the great discount code!
