The Seabird delivers a fresh take on the classic Southern California seaside resort experience, with grand coastal architecture, breezy living spaces with private balconies, and stunning Pacific views. Plus an expansive pool deck, multiple dining options, and a luxury spa. All set directly on the beach – so close you can see the surfers paddling out in the morning and hear the crash of the waves as you sip cocktails with the setting sun.

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.

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!

The Seabird is a well-located hotel in the heart of Oceanside, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, with the food and beverage program being a particular highlight. The mussels at Shore Room were exceptional—among the best we've had anywhere. While our experience was largely positive, we would have appreciated more attentive in-room service to match the quality found throughout the rest of the property.

Walking distance to everything. Great customer service. Very nice rooms. Great atmosphere. Loved the pool and jacuzzi looking out at the beach.

The hotel setting is beautiful and it has the basic resort vibe, however I feel it should have a bar of soap in the rooms as well as a beverage cart or coffee in the lobby in the morning for guests.
So although nice it’s probably not “first class.”
