Mission Pacific Beach Resort – JDV 🏖️✨

Nestled in Oceanside in Southern California, this resort is about a 45–50 minute drive south of Irvine. It’s a relatively small city (or town?) that’s easily walkable and perfect for a relaxed getaway. Right next door is its sister property, Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa — both under the same ownership, making it super convenient for a multi-hotel stay experience! The hotel is incredibly generous to Globalists 😍 — I booked just one day in advance, and on the day of arrival, they texted me asking if I’d like a suite. Ended up with the Sanctuary Studio Ocean View! 🌅 Only after checkout did I realize there was a welcome email in my junk folder — they’d asked if I wanted to switch my double bed to a King (since their suites only come with King size). Had I seen it, I might’ve scored an ocean-front balcony facing the Pacific directly! 🌊 The room felt warm and inviting — light wood tones, soft lighting, a bathtub, and floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto a balcony where I could enjoy sunset views with the sound of waves. So peaceful and cozy~ 😌 Though fair warning: visibility can be pretty low on summer mornings (June–July) due to marine layer. Across from the balcony was the rooftop open-air bar 🍸 — there was always some music playing, but things quieted down completely by bedtime. Breakfast was popular — you even had to text ahead to reserve a slot! You could choose between buffet ($49) or à la carte. As a Globalist, the front desk mentioned a 45 credit per person (details were a bit fuzzy 🥲), but in the end, they waived our full bill of 150! 🙌 The buffet variety could easily beat 95% of U.S. hotel breakfasts — and everything tasted great, too! All in all, a perfect spot for a weekend staycation to unwind and recharge~ 🌴 Have you stayed at Mission Pacific or visited Oceanside? What’s your favorite beachfront hotel in SoCal?
