    2026 listing for upgraded ocean view with a private balcony
    Jody W.

    We stayed at the Seabird Hyatt for three summers in a row and booked a fourth time in February 2026 for July. The first summer was partial ocean view with a balcony and the second, third, and fourth booking we paid an upgrade for an ocean view with a balcony. After checking in this July at 11:30 am, we got into our room at 2:30 pm. We discovered that we didn't have a balcony like the other 3 visits. Instead, we had a Juliet or faux balcony. We could only step outside, not move around, nor sit. The balcony was essentially a giant window looking at their sister property Mission Pacific and the street. We had no balcony to sit and look at the ocean view we booked and PREPAID for as an upgrade 5 months prior to the stay. I called the front desk. They claimed we booked a room with a Juliet balcony and had no other availability. This is untrue, per the listing image I have included in this review. They offered us a balcony with city view or a room with a king-sized bed. We were a family of 4 traveling with 2 teenagers. They offered no other help or compensation. At Costco's suggestion, I asked about their sister property next door and I asked them to include the reduced valet and our food credits that were part of the February package we already paid for. When I checked in next door at Mission Pacific, I discovered our reservation hadn't been transferred. It had only been re-booked and we needed to pay the market rate for the next 4 nights even though we pre-paid $2300+ for Seabird back in February. I spent at least a half-hour at the front desk trying to negotiate and get a room resembling what we had paid for 5 months ago. MP's management was great and was able to accommodate our requests. After THREE HOURS of stressing and trying to solve this issue, we finally had some type of resolution. We stayed at MP from July 6-10. At about 4pm July 10, Seabird Hyatt emailed me to remind me that they arranged for our move to Mission Pacific, and provided a $300 resort credit along with discounted valet parking as a gesture of goodwill. ABSOLUTELY NOT! They made us a reservation only, and the resort credit and discounted valet parking was part of the package we paid for back in February! Absolutely NOTHING was provided as a gesture of goodwill. Furthermore, our Costco package included a rental car that we had no intention of using, but the price was cheaper. We ended up losing about $36 for the stress of booking at Seabird Hyatt, with an upgraded room with ocean view that was downgraded upon arrival. Seabird had the entire week of our stay to contact us and attempt to make things right. We are quite disappointed in the way this hotel treats their return guests. I do not recommend Seabird Hyatt in Oceanside, California at all.

    Enjoyed a fantastic evening of drinks out on the patio, paired with breathtaking views of the ocean and pier. The espresso martinis were absolutely delicious, and the service was warm and seamless. This resort has a stunning aesthetic and an incredible atmosphere--I'll definitely be returning!

    Reviewing specifically the bar at Seabird which is lovely. My best friend had his wedding welcome event here and the space is lovely, right across the street from the Pacific Ocean with awesome drinks and service. The ambiance is beyond epic and I don't think you can beat it in Oceanside, drinks are beautiful and well done, and service is top notch. I wanted to try more drinks here which I'll need to come back for, this was my second time in my second year visiting Seabird and it's been consistent and lovely both times- will be back for sure!

    Second time here and I just love it! Great location as you have the view of the beach as it is across the street. Nice size pool which faces ocean as well. 2 main eatery on hotel site and also can get food poolside.

    Ocean view is actually partially ocean view

    CAUTION: "Ocean View" room is actually a partial view I booked an Ocean View room through Costco Travel and paid more than the Partial Ocean View option listed right beside it. When we arrived, the room had only a partial view. Paying extra for a specific view and not getting it is disappointing, and after reading other reviews, it's clear we're not the only guests this has happened to, so I wanted to warn future visitors. Also the shower drain was clogged, which isn't what you expect from a hotel at this price. The hotel itself has potential, but the room categories are misleading. If you're booking here, confirm the exact view in writing before you pay.

    First time staying at The Seabird. The hotel is located steps away from the pier in Oceanside. The staff is friendly upon checkin. They have a sister hotel next door. The hotel is kid friendly. They have one pool and jacuzzi. The hotel only offers valet party. There are many different types of restaurants in the area. We would definitely stay at The Seabird again.

    Welcome chocolates!

    What an amazing resort! Came here for the long weekend during Memorial Day and check in process was super welcoming. Big shout out to Kaylen who was super nice during the check in process and made us feel so welcome. Loved the champagne and chocolates at check in. Pros: 1. Friendly customer service at every turn. 2. I had an ocean view queen and it was perfect on the top floor overlooking the pool and the ocean. Best views in town! 3. Hot tub and pool are good, open from 8 am - 10 pm. To avoid crowds, go early or after 8:30 pm. 4. It's close to the train station and if you are coming from LA, this is a great option. 5. Dog friendly hotel Cons: 1. Valet only which can get expensive but there are lots a few blocks away, which have over night parking for super reasonable rates, so you can avoid extra valet fees. Most restaurants are walking and the area is super dog friendly. I had so much of fun and an amazingly relaxing vacation, I will definitely be back.

    This property is owned by Hyatt. They did a really nice job making it look like the Lido house Newport Beach. Everything is light blue striped and it's so beachy and cool with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. They have a nice fitness center with Techno gym equipment. I highly recommend staying here when you're in North County San Diego

    Such a cute place and best part it has an indoor and outdoor and just next to the beach. Their wines are good!

    Do not leave your luggage with this hotel! They lost our luggage while it was in their care, causing us a great deal of stress and inconvenience. It's extremely disappointing that a hotel can't even handle basic luggage storage properly. Highly NOT recommended!

    View as soon as you come out of meeting room - cannot complain!

    What a lovely hotel! My review is only for the conference I attended here and to be in such a beautiful hotel with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean, working this weekend felt like a breeze. Conference room was nice and all the AV worked well. Valet parking for $10 was provided for conference goers. I parked in the public lot right across the street for $5.50/day and its literally a stone's throw away. Lunch was Greek cuisine and all of it delicious. The snacks at break were OK too. Bathrooms are nice and just mesmerizing views of the ocean from many parts of the hotel. Id definitely come back again to hang out here another day when not working. Its very chill and classy too. Loved it!

    My family stayed at Seabird Resort from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day. We are very happy we picked this hotel! When we arrived to check in, the staff was so nice. They gave us a free upgrade to an ocean view room on the 4th floor with a balcony. The view was great - we could see the pool and the ocean. Loved it!! The room was very clean. The whole hotel has a nice, relaxed beach house feeling. There is a cool library on the second floor - very cozy to sit and read. The gym is open 24 hours, which is perfect. The pool is heated, but it closes at 10 pm. All the staff were wonderful. They helped us fast whenever we needed something. The hotel is right next to the Oceanside Pier. It was easy to walk there. But it rained a lot, so we did not go many places. Parking is valet only, but the service was good. We loved it here and will come back again this year. I really recommend Seabird Resort! My Personal Rating : 4.8 Hotel 4.8/5 Staff 5/5 Price 4.5/5 Ambiance 4.8/5 Cleanliness 4.9/5

    We had a wonderful stay at the Seabird Resort and can't wait to come back. A special thank you to Kaylen at reception, who was absolutely the sweetest and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to celebrate my birthday. The hotel was fully booked the first night of our stay, so upgrades weren't available, but Kaylen was able to move us into a phenomenal room for our second night with a beautiful balcony and an incredible sunset view. It made our trip feel extra special. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and welcoming, and the food and cocktails were outstanding. Between the amazing service, gorgeous property, and perfect beachfront location, this was a truly memorable stay. We will definitely be back!

Having access to both Mission Pacific and The Seabird across the street made the experience feel even more expansive and luxurious. The property itself is gorgeous and the aesthetic is immaculate. However, the service during our stay fell significantly short of what a property of this caliber should deliver. I traveled with a 4-month-old infant and requested a pack & play multiple times over three weeks and it wasn't in my room upon arrival despite repeated confirmations. The front desk was consistently unreachable by phone throughout our stay, which made accessing the resort fee amenities we paid for nearly impossible. I genuinely believe this may have been a staffing issue specific to our visit rather than a reflection of the property's standard. I would absolutely return, the location and property alone make it worth it. I just hope the service matches the beauty of the space next time.

However, warning- if you are in the middle ocean front rooms (i.e. room 530), they are located outside and there is a train behind the property that runs all night. The manager offered to switch our room but it would have been a downgrade to an ocean view room so we decided to deal with the noise. Note that you also can't see the sunset from those rooms as it is blocked by the rooms on the west side. The front desk service was great. They offered us some wine and champagne and provided us with water bottles. The rooftop pool is wonderful. It's a nice place to lounge. The pool is heated so didn't feel too cold, but we were also there during a heat advisory 75+ degrees). There is a live dj playing lounge music. The food and drinks are expensive so we didn't really order anything. Overall a nice stay, but if we ever go back I would make sure we don't get one of the outside rooms.

Even on a cloudy morning, sitting outside on the boardwalk with the breeze was so nice. Parking was easy, everything was clean and really cute inside, and you order right at the counter. The adorable girl who helped us was SO sweet and friendly! We weren't sure what to order, so she helped us pick some of their more popular dishes and promised we wouldn't be disappointed. She was right! I got the Stratford Scramble and a mocha latte with oat milk. The scramble was a HUGE portion and delicious. Did it completely wow me? No, but I definitely enjoyed it! The mocha latte was SO good. Nuzz got the Chilaquiles Jalisco and his first ever nitro cold brew. He loved both! The chilaquiles weren't too spicy, and he said the nitro was different from any cold brew he's had before and almost creamy. But the COFFEE CAKE!!

That's exactly what my family and I did before heading into the restaurant! The process was easy and convenient. When you walk in, you can grab your own menu, find an open table, and once you decide what you'd like, you place your order and receive a number. The fountain drinks, coffee, and tea are self-serve, which makes everything simple and convenient. Our visit was great! I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were delicious--flavorful but not spicy. My kids ordered chicken and fries, while my daughter got a hamburger, which she really enjoyed. Another thing I liked is that since you pay when you order, once you're finished eating, you can simply leave without having to wait for the check. I also want to give a special thank you to Tiffany, the manager. I accidentally forgot my wallet, and thankfully someone turned it in. Tiffany was extremely helpful and made sure I was able to get it back. I truly appreciate her and the staff at Stratford! Overall, I'm very pleased with the location, the food, and especially the customer service. My family and I will definitely be going back!!

    Hiya B.U.M.S.!…read more We've been huge fans of Amalfi Cucina Italiana ever since catching their pop-up setup at Orfila Winery in Escondido, but we finally made time to visit one of their full restaurant location in Oceanside--and it completely delivered. The interior looks beautifully elevated and fancy, making it a fantastic spot for a special family meal. We opted to sit outside on the patio, which was cozy and comfortable for our group. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and portioned wonderfully for sharing. Here's what we got: Focaccia: Fresh, warm, and the perfect start to the meal. Weekly Soup Special: A comforting, rich onion and potato soup topped with melted cheese and savory prosciutto. Linguine alle Vongole: Perfectly cooked pasta loaded with fresh clams. (We ordered more bread just so we could dip it in this) Fusilli Cacio e Pepe: Classic creamy pepper pasta, elevated by adding juicy shrimp. Salsiccia e Friarielli Pizza: An odd combination of sausage and greens, we also added pepperoni. The food was delicious, but the service made the night extra special. Our server was warm and attentive, and the manager took the time to personally step over, say hello, and check on our table. Small gestures like that show real pride in hospitality and go a very long way when dining out. Pro tip: If you choose outdoor patio seating around dinner time, bring a light jacket or a bit of bug spray--the mosquitoes tend to come out right around dusk. What's your go to Cusina Italiana?
