Dear Faith,
What a wonderful vacation and it was the little things that mattered
most: A quiet backyard after an
active day at the beach, the morning walk to get coffee at the local
cafe, the chimes, the great
books stashed in the quaint nooks of the house, the gorgeous garden,
the quiet neighborhood, and of
course the showcase home that felt both classy and cozy.
This spot was a gem, and we are also grateful we rented Seaview Villa,
as it gave us easy beach
access and splendid sunset views over dinner. We look forward to next
year!

Oceanside is North of San Diego county, and perfectly located
halfway between Laguna and the city of San Diego. Just two blocks
from Coast Hwy 101, and to the local train station,you will find
Casa By The Sea a haven away from the bustle of the tourists.

Walk to the Oceanside Pier, the longest pier in
Southern California, where you can view all the exciting
development that is currently making Oceanside the "Talk of the
Town."

Downtown Oceanside is just blocks away from Casa By The Sea, where
you will find funky shops and restaurants for that true Southern
California beach experience, or or visit the Civic Center and
Oceanside Art Museum just three blocks away.  Check out the Museum this summer for "Jazz at the Museum" and and other great parties for a reasonable 15.00 rate to include music, appetizers and wine.  

The Village of Carlsbad is just a mile away from Casa By The Sea,
and from there you can drive down the coast and visit Encinitas,
Cardiff, Solano Beach, Del Mar and La Jolla,- all within a mile of
each other on the 101.

The Coaster, San Diego's premier transit station can be accessed
within a five minute walk, where for just a few dollars a day you
can commute from the city of Los Angelos to the bustling nightlife
of San Diego county, without ever needing a car.

The best part of your day however, will probably
be found in enjoying a famous Southern California sunset, from the
comfort of your own private front porch.

ANTIQUE STORES - STATE STREET in Carlsbad Village. Or take a country
drive to Escondido or Julian, where you can find great buys and

WINE TASTING - Our lovely Temeculah Wine Country offers beautiful
scenery and some great little vintages.
Also,check out Old Town for antiques. Thornton Winery gets my votes
for Best Wine Tasting - always served with hot baked bread.
Note: Their summer jazz concerts are pricey but worth it.

GLEN IVY HOT SPRINGS SPA - A little further north on the 15 from the
Wine Country is this delightful day spa. For less than 50 bucks you
get to spend the entire day relishing in a tropical wonderland
of "Its All About Me" indulgement. Check out the underground caverns
and discover a new layer of skin after scouring the mud off your sun
worn body in the famous mud baths. Get a massage for no other reason
than to have one of their very handsome young boys lead you back to a
secluded hut for a guilt free rendevous. Some say this spa and its
healing waters were founded by The Mafia - I say it was founded by
the gods of bliss.

BEST MARTINIS

CAFE 330  at the Wyndham Hotel in Downtown Oceanside

FOUR SEASONS HOTEL - for hanging around poolside: Just act like you
belong there! Along with world class golf Okay: you may have to pay
for THAT privilege: fourseasondotcom

LA COSTA RESORT �� is easily my personal favorite serenity spot.
Purchase a massage and you get to play Queen for the day while
enjoying all the amenities. The grounds are beautiful ��especially
at night. Try the Blue Fire Grill for Happy Hour. lacostadotcom

BEST OUTLET ANYWHERE IN THE PLANET
THE CARLSBAD COMPANY STORES
premiumoutletsdotcom

QUICK BITE: Buckaneer Beach Club is a few yards away from Seaview
Villa, across from Buckaneer Beach. Excellent fresh Ahi sandwiches,
Breakfast Burritos and Fish Tacos. Open by Chance �� but one worth
taking

HILL STREET COFFEE SHOP �� 524 Coast Hwy
Organic �� healthy fare and a great little courtyard setting in an
old Victorian house.
In the same setting, you will find a serene Spa and a better than
average Sushi restaurant. Best of all, it ��s a 2 minute walk from
Casa By The Sea.

THE PIERVIEW WAY COFFEE SHOP:
I like to cruise down the beach - jog down the pier and cross back
over to this coffee shop for a egg and cheese sandwich on fresh
ciabatta bread. Just remember that your eggs always come scrambled in
Southern California. (They will look at you weird if you ask to have
it fried)

VIGILUCCIS Anything that says Vigiluccis on the Coast is going to be
good. Check out their newest restaurant: Osteria, located on Mission
in Oceanside. Great wine list and close enough to walk from Casa By
The Sea. vigiluccisdotcom

VINE TO GLASS �� On Mission. Pretty decent little tasting bar with
interesting collection of smaller reserves.

BAJA LOBSTER AT THE HARBOR
Buckets of fresh lobster and marinated chicken and carne asada. Plus
a great Caesar and Salsa Bar. You can once again dream about being a
boat owner and then just as quickly remember the price of gas and go
back to humbly eating your taco.

DOMINICS AT THE HARBOR Hole in the Wall GREAT Italian Restaurant.
Fabulous pizza with out of this world crust. Dominic might just crack
open one of his better Chiantis if you ask really nicely.


BEST HAUNTS ON COAST HWY 101:
The Panikin Restaurant in Leucadia: A Pre-Starbucks Funky Coffee
House. Try the curry chicken salad on one of their fresh baked
bagels.

THE SELF REALIZATION CENTER �� In Cardiff - just walk through the
ornate iron gate and take in the magic of these serene gardens
overlooking the Pacific. No charge to discover who you REALLY are -
but donations accepted.

THE CEDROS DESIGN DISTRICT
Just behind the historical train station off Lomas Santa Fe and Coast
Hwy.

BEST OCEANVIEW RESTAURANT
The Beach House in Cardiff on 101:
Dine upstairs �� cuz you may get splashed on the lower level when
the surf comes crashing over the rocks.

BEST MEXICAN FOOD
My choice is Las Olas in Carlsbad on Coast Hwy or across from The
Beach House above. Try the Sour Cream Enchiladas with a fresh mango
Margarita. Best Salsa too!

BEST MEXICAN PARTY PLACE
COYOTES - For good food and live bands- w/ cozy outdoor firepits for
great margarita conversations - Carlsbad Village

BEST FAST FOOD MEXICAN
We have more of these than other cities have McDonalds. I like
Roberto ��s on Oceanside Blvd and 101 and Juanita ��s in Encinitas.
For the best bowl of Mexican Chicken Soup in the city, try La
Especial Norte in Leucadia.

BEST HAPPY HOUR
Calypso Caf� and its sister restaurant: Pappagallos for spicy south
pacific fare and an excellent wine list. Located in Leucadia ��
right before Encinitas. Blink and you might miss it.

BEST DATE PLACE
Vigiluccis on State Street in Downtown Carlsbad. Tranquil and
romantic. Also private enough that you can play footsies or something
a little more daring.

BEST PIZZA
Again, our local Restaurateur, located in Leucadia near Calypso Caf�:
vigiluccisdotcom Gotta try the Four Cheese Pizza even if you are a
Die-Hard Sauce person.
