I'm thinking of heading to San Diego in October. I can get a decent rental price at Four Seasons Aviara, but I'm wondering if Carlsbad is too remote. Several years ago, we stayed at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, and while it was lovely (and free), we ended up driving 30 minutes to 1.5 hours every day, and ended up moving to the Marriott in Del Mar for a few nights, just to cut out part of the commute. I don't mind a little driving, but don't want to spend that much time on the road.
We're not sit around the resort all day kind of people, so we'd like to be located in an area where we could do some interesting things within a reasonable commute. Last time, in the 2 days we had free, we went to the San Diego Wildlife Park, Coronado, the Presidio, and Balboa Park. We're open to just about anything, but to be honest, Legoland doesn't really appeal to me.
For about $500 more, I can rent an ocean front condo in Del Mar, La Jolla, or Mission Beach.
Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.
