What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

Enjoy California coastal living steps away from the Oceanside Beach Pier. A classic oceanfront resort celebrating the delights of Southern California living. Casually upscale, unpretentiously fun, and timelessly stylish. The seabird offers the relaxing indulgences of a full-fledged resort delivered with the impeccable taste one would expect of an art-filled coastal retreat. The classic beachfront architecture surrounds a series of eccentric and artistic discoveries that include breezy and luxurious rooms, an expansive pool with an indoor/outdoor living room, a contemplative library, food sourced from San Diego's many small farms, spectacular ocean view meeting and celebrating spaces, and an expansive spa offering unique custom treatments. Each bespoke experience at The Seabird has been tailored to deliver the highest standards of hospitality, wit, and charm. The Seabird is more than a resort. it is a personal estate-by-the-beach, delivered with a fresh, creative twist.
