First hand report by Brenda Hill

The Residence Club is one of my favorite places to stay in the country. Who would not love living on a long, sugar white sand beach in San Diego? The entire staff gave me a warm welcome on each visit. The spacious and elegant suites are more like living in a private beach home. I could spend solitary me time one day, invite friends and family the next. I planned to stay for one night.

I like the concept of vacation ownership that is not a time-share. Rosie will be  happy to explain the benefits. It is perfect for someone like me. I love to travel, especially to a traditional beach location where I can walk everywhere. Yet, I appreciate the comforts of a vacation home instead of a hotel room.

While living at the Residence Club, we prepared coffee, snacks and drinks in our spacious and well equipped kitchen. The joy of serving a magic hour cocktail as the golden sun set into the blue sea is unsurpassed. Then, we had a choice. I was tempted to grill a simple supper on the beach like several of our neighbors. However, I know of many delicious cafes, such as Saskas, a few steps away along the lively boardwalk.
.
Whether you visit the club for a weekend vacation or for several weeks, this is an ideal southern California beach and village choice.
