Beach Terrace

We had a lovely stay! The room was perfect for us, and the view is unmatched. The staff was friendly and personable, even knew our room number! The walks along the beach were wonderful, and the nearby restaurants gave us plenty of options. It was peaceful and quiet, and the atmosphere was very nice but not stuffy. We'll definitely be back.

hidden charges - parking not told until checkin...AMENITY FEE $45/night...not told of this until checkout and saw it on bill. they did nothing about it. I was told it was for POOL BOYS helping with beach tables/umbrella and pool...never went to pool/beach since it is NOT ADA..one building has elevation and it does not go to pool level and that building costs $100-$200/night extra. Property is outstanding if you can do a lot of stairs. Clean, beautiful furnishings, yummy breakfast. right on ocean. beautiful pool area.... I did notify Southwest Airlines who booked reservation and they gave me the $45/night charge back.

Location, facilities, warm welcome and recommendations from Michelle, nicely decorated and comfortable room, amazing view, dolphins, fire pits and seating areas, beautiful pastry breakfast bar and coffee, and easy access to nearby downtown Carlsbad.

Nothing.

Beautiful hotel right on the beach. There was a storm the evening before, so they closed the beach access. Very inconvenient to get to the beach for a walk.

Top tier service, room and views!

Everything is good

Loved our four-night stay for a long- awaited family celebration. It was our first time to visit the area, and Carlsbad is a lovely town, in addition to the Beach Terrace Inn! Room and bed were very comfortable plus the ocean view was wonderful. Staff was very accommodating, especially Andrea at the front desk. The continental breakfast was delicious and imaginative. We felt quite welcome and are already hoping to return.

Warm Welcome and Friendly Service From the moment I checked in, Michelle made my stay memorable with her attentive and friendly service. She was always available to answer questions and make sure guests felt welcome. Room Features and Amenities I stayed in a horizon view room #42, which offered a corner pool and beach view and a full horizon (ocean) view atop the ocean front building directly in front of the street side building. The room came with cozy slippers and a pillow menu, allowing for a personalized sleep experience. The bathroom was large, featuring a separate toilet with a closing door for added privacy. While there was no microwave, the space included a sink, mini fridge, wine key, and glassware. I would have appreciated some kitchen towels, but overall, the amenities were extremely thoughtful. The in-room Illy coffee and quality condiments added a premium touch to the mornings. Parking and Convenience Each room has its own designated parking space, and I never had an issue finding one. During the low season, there was plenty of street parking available as well, which made coming and going easy. Onsite Market and Supplies The hotel's little market was handy for grabbing essentials like sunscreen, merchandise, soda, and water. Note that they don't sell alcohol, so plan accordingly if you’d like a drink in your room. Beachfront Perks The hotel’s proximity to the ocean is unbeatable—high tide comes right up to the property. Beach valet service is available; you can find him located on the beach (just outside the hotel beach exit) or you can text the number posted at the outdoor shower. Comfortable chairs and tilting umbrellas are set up on the sand, making it easy to relax. During my stay, I was lucky enough to see a shooting start and dolphins! Pool and Fire Pit Experience The pool was warm, although it can feel chilly if the wind picks up. There is no hot tub, but the fire pits are cozy with plenty of blankets provided. Keep in mind that both the pool and fire pits close early at 9 PM. Dining and Local Attractions The location is perfect for exploring the village on foot. Bluewater Grill serves fresh swordfish and is a must-try for seafood lovers. Fresco Cocina’s ribeye steak was the best I’ve ever had, and their Good Vibes cocktail is delicious. For beverages and snacks, Big Pig Liquor has a great selection of beer and wine, plus small Styrofoam coolers for the beach. The hotel market doesn’t have a big selection and no alcohol. Additional Notes · There is enough parking for 1 car per room. During the off season, there’s plenty of street parking if you don’t want the additional cost. · The train runs a couple blocks away and can be loud at times, but I didn’t find it disruptive. I heard that there’s an inexpensive round-trip ride down the coast – will definitely check that out next time. · I loved sleeping with the patio door open to hear the waves all night. · You can walk to everything in the village—restaurants, shops, and the beach are all close by. Summary This beachfront hotel offers a relaxing and convenient stay, with excellent service, great amenities, and easy access to local attractions.

Everything was A+. The pillow menu was my daughter's personal favorite. We loved the free beach valet with boogie boards, chairs, towels, and an umbrella. Bring our pizza down to sit by the firepits was another highlight. We can't wait to come back!

Amazing experience!! they brought back the breakfast! Everyone is so nice and helpful. One of the greatest resorts we stay in.
