Top Family Vacation Destination

scottsss2022 (Gilbert, Arizona) on Jun 20, 2026

This was my family’s seventh or eight visit to the Seabird in Oceanside, and I can say with confidence it’s our favorite vacation destination… Not just for a beach resort in Southern California, but throughout the whole United States. The property at the Seabird is gorgeous! The facility itself has everything you need… There’s not a reason to venture anywhere else for a relaxing family vacation. They have pools (you have access to their sister property The Mission), the beach is right across the street, one of the best restaurants we’ve dined at Hyatt (Piper), as well as other excellent restaurants and bars. The nearby neighborhood in Oceanside is cute… Lots of coffee shops, bars, places to eat and shop for souvenirs… And just a short drive from Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Del Mar. But the best thing by far about the seabird is their incredible staff. I feel like everyone- from front desk (exceptional service from Isabelle, Etiola and Suede), valet, housekeeping, the restaurants —shows top-notch courtesy and customer service. We’ve stayed at a lot of nice Hyatts using our Globablist benefits throughout the , but nothing tops the benefits and experience at the Seabird.

Seabird is Spectacular

The Seabird is spectacular. Perfectly located, beautiful rooms and views, great food and places to gather, friendly, kind, helpful, hospitable staff. Lovely details - robes, slippers, water bottles, super comfortable beds, bathtub with an ocean view. Loved it all!

Fabulous stay in Oceanside

Excellent beach front resort that is incredibly accommodating to families with young children! They offer complimentary beach toys, umbrella, chairs (with complimentary set-up), have a movie night, kids crafts, and a game room. Sure, it's not the most exciting crafts or game night, but my young kids of 3 and 6 loved all the activities. They offered a complimentary roll-away bed, which I feel is quite rare these days. I did not feel at all that the hotel was trying to nickel and dime me. The resort fees, though high, were offset by so many activities/options. Valet parking is pricey but there are more affordable public lots around the area. The restaurants/bars all around the hotel are so delicious - fun vibe! Most of all, every single staff member was so hospital and welcoming. Now I understand why so many people love The Seabird hotel. My only complaints were that the water pressure was quite low in our room (for both shower and faucet) but not enough to complain/switch to a different room. Despite the hotel being super busy the weekend we were there, we were upgraded to a partial ocean view, which was such a treat. Despite the busy-ness, we were still able to find lounge chairs and enjoyed our stay. Breakfast reservations are a must - and the check-in employee does mention that. Really appreciated the tip from her. Also, the agents behind the texting service are AMAZING. We've stayed at a good number of hotels, but their texting service was the best I've experienced. The hotel property is beautiful. Our beds and furniture in our room were a little lumpy, but everything else outweighed those slight downsides. There were a lot of furniture around the property to lounge and just hang out with the kids. They've managed to keep a calm and peaceful environment despite it being a very busy property/resort.

Friendly and beautiful!

Check-in and valet service were quick, efficient, and very friendly. The staff were helpful whenever needed. The room was clean, well-appointed, comfortable, and the view was beautiful. There were several onsite dining options, which were friendly and accommodating. Check-out was smooth, with no unexpected surprises. I definitely recommend a stay at the Seabird!
