About the location:

Your West Coast home away from home. Rolling foothills and postcard-worthy views of sun and surf surround our idyllic Residence Club, where families and pleasure-seekers of all ages come to play. Tucked away in the laid-back coastal town of Carlsbad, California, just half an hour north of San Diego, it offers miles of uncrowded beaches and some of the best golf courses in North America. Allow our pre-arrival Concierge to stock your villa’s kitchen fully, sign up for group classes in our open-air Yoga Pavilion and stay as long as you’d like.
