That’s a pretty nice week. I own week 35. It also includes day use if you live nearby.

We love this resort--it is just two blocks from the retirement community we are moving to.

Let me be the first to say howdy neighbor. Lots of construction at Carlsbad Inn. Phase 1 is mostly complete and Phase 2 will begin after Labor Day with demo of the pool and the entire green area. It's going to be a mess for a while but the improvements will be nice once it's finished.

I live a few miles south off La Costa Avenue.

Aaaakkk! Thanks for the heads up. We go again the first week of October; we aren't pool people, but don't appreciate looking at construction debris.

If you can get on the exterior of the buildings like this unit listed, you'll face south toward Carlsbad state beach and will have minimal impact. The green area along with the pool will be torn up. There was a ongoing water intrusion issue into the parking structure and that's not good because the whole resort sits on top of the parking structure. It's a massive water proofing project but the final result will be much nicer.

Is the unit on the first, second or third level?

Outside of Hawaii, north county San Diego is one of my favorite places. Someone that makes regular visits to the area should be able to put this to good use.
