For those who have been there, whats good and whats bad? how are the rooms?
Answer
This is a wonderful vacation spot!!
Perfect location, helpful staff, across the street from the beach, beach goodies and a wagon available from the activity center, activities for adults and children!!
We had a one bedroom with a full kitchen and a fabulous view.
The location is also marvelous--walking distance to get to the Coaster to get to San Diego, minutes away to get to all kinds of shopping (Costco, outlet mall, restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy, etc...), and freeway close to many attractions--perfect!
The lobby area is also very welcoming with coffee, tea, and fruit for the guests.
BEAUTIFUL VIEW right off Carlsbad Blvd!
I celebrated an early Father's Day / Birthday here last weekend and fell in love with Carlsbad. We had a 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo. it comes with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, dish washer, cookware, silverware and glassware), and a patio facing the ocean. The VIEW from our room was AMAZING! the ocean was mysterious and deep blue, the sun was shiny and warm, the sea breeze was warm and welcoming - everything was so perfect!
The decor of the condo is a little out of date (e.g. pastel wall border stickers & mint color carpet). The bath tub is a little small. Wish there is more than 1 pool table because it is always taken. But these are minor problems and can be fixed easily.
The rate for a 1br / 1ba condo ranges from $239 ~ $359 per night.
I will definitely come back again for special occasions.
I stayed here for a nice get away while staying local. I had a two bedroom with a full kitchen and a little patio that faced the ocean. This is a real nice place. It has a club house, a gym, two pools (one for adults only) and a fun play area for kids that includes a pirate ship and a little water theme area.
It's located right across the 101 from the ocean, so beautiful views! There is no restaurant but since you have a kitchen you can drive across the I-5 to the Costco or down the road to the Ralph's. They also have a basket ball court, tennis courts, pool and ping pong table on the bottom floor.
The only reason this place didn't get a 5 star rating is because my unit was on the back end of the resort which is facing the Coaster train track (a little noisy) and we were situated right next to the club house which is used for weddings on the weekend. And yes, you guessed right, there was a wedding on the Sunday we checked in. It was a little loud.
I also hear that if you are a owner at this timeshare, you can rent the clubhouse for around $100 or $200! That is a steal! The Clubhouse faces the Ocean and the pool area. Nice location for a casual wedding.
So check on their nightly rates if you are coming to the area because this is a pretty good location. I called the front desk to get an idea of rates and I was told the nightly rate can range from $239 a night during spring and upwards of $300 during peak season. But considering this is for a 2bd/2bath, full kitchen, ocean view, that is pretty good. Across from the ocean, minutes from the freeway, one exit from the Carlsbad Outlet Mall and down the 101 from the quaint little town of Carlsbad.
I stayed here in July of 2009 with my two little girls, ages 3 and 6. We had a one bedroom condo, so they slept on the sleeper sofa and I got my own bed. While not luxurious, the accommodations were nice. Perfect for the beach. We had a great view of the ocean from our balcony and a fireplace in the living room. Every morning we would go down to the activity center and pick up a radio flyer wagon, fill it with towels, buckets, and shovels and head off to the beach. My six year old would pull my 3 year old in the wagon across the highway, which sounds scary, but there is a light so it's quite safe. The hotel had events like making snores and a poolside BBQ with live music, at little or no cost. They also offered inexpensive crafts for the kids ($1-$3), and my kids had a great time doing those. I would have come here again this year, but was unable to trade my timeshare, and this year we're at the Grand Pacific Palisades Resort, which is okay, but I prefer the Seapointe.

I sort of regret adopting a puppy?
Ashley
I have overwhelming anxiety and panic attacks after adopting a puppy. I'm not sure I'm the right match for this amazing& adorable 6month old border terrier mix. It's only been 3 1/2 days but I've had this feeling since I got home with him. I live in a one bedroom condo I bartend and work 2 jobs I also have a very small shared yard on the water... In theory I thought this would be fine. I'm an extreme neat freak, now my small condo smells like dog poo and all my furniture/decor has been stored away so that it is not destroyed.my bathroom is no longer my bathroom it's turned into his home/ toilet.dont get me wrong he's not a little devil he's just a puppy I get that. I've just never owned a dog before and feel like I bit off more then I can chew! A big part of me wants to give him back...he deserves a big yard and a family that has the energy that I don't. I feel like I bad person for thinking this way but I can't have panic attacks for the next 10/15 years:-/ I need advise from someone that's been in the same situation b.c I'm losing my mind over it!
It's a no kill shelter. And I'm not a bitch I set out to do this b.c I really wanted a dog. I love animals but obviously didn't realize the work that goes into having one considering I've never had any pets growing up!if the answers aren't ment to help then please keep your nasty comments to yourself. My intentions were and still are good and I only want the best for this puppy but I also have to think of myself. If I'm unhappy he will sense it. I just wanted to know if this is normal if there is some sort of postpartum for ppl that have adopted pets. I'm not looking to be told I'm a shitty person b.c I know I'm not!
He's not having panic attacks... He's happy as a lark. Tons of treats tons of toys I take him out as much as I can he sleeps in my bed even thou I bought two diffrent beds for him. He's an amazing puppy and seems super happy. I'm not an abusive mean person. I'm just not sure we're the right match...
Answer
My apartment used to be immaculate until I rescued a 2 year old american eskimo/bichon frise mix, so I understand your frustration
I'm gonna be blunt. I HATE it when people are selfish and think "aww puppies are so cute I want one" and then get one and realize it's not all cuddles and best dog ever. You get out of a dog what you put into it. If he's not worth it to you then give that puppy back while he's still a puppy and has a great chance of being adopted by someone that will and remember this the next time you agree to take responsibility for a life that completely relies on you.
NOW if you decide to keep him there are ways that you can deal with all of this.
Get a dog pen. FIRST of all. unlike your bathroom, once the dog gets used to the pen it will become his safe place.
Nature's Miracle no marking does work but it's flawed because the dog will just find another place to pee....so keeping that flaw in mind if there's something that you absolutely do not want pee'd on spray it with nature's miracle no marking and it will be spared....as long as you do it every couple days.
Odoban use this instead of febreeze it's what hunters use so animals don't smell them and what hospitals use to remove odors and anti bacterial spray....you can use it as multi purpose to clean too but i'd use it for like wiping down a counter quick not a tough job. You can get it at walmart and home depot and it's cheapier than febreeze and works better.
POOO BAGS!!!!!!! get the actual poo bags and always pick up any poo accidents with poo bags and tie off the bag. I also recommend getting the strong scented trash bags i get the lilac ones by hefty i think i dunno the orange box LOL also a trash can with a well fitting lid will cut back that odor too
Now something absolutely everyone should have in the cleaning supply arsenal "kids n pets" this stuff is like the tide to go of "mother f******* did you seriously just mark my bed/couch?" all you do is pour some on and let it dry...works on EVERYTHING i.e. Red paint off a bed and it's cheap.
Dog body spray...you can get doggy body spray I have a raspberry one, great for inbetween baths
Taking him to the groomers regularly and brushing him inbetween will dramatically reduce shedding issues
get a lint brush that is fabric it's got a plastic handle(usually gray) and a rough fabric (usually red) and they work amazing at removing all fur lint fast from EVERYTHING and last forever...and dirt cheap.
TREATS!!! When training your puppy do not scold or yell you're going to confuse and scare him and make him scared of you and he'll just do what he was going to do when you're not looking. Don't rub his nose in the pee! People think this works but it doesn't and it's cruel...even if it's just a minute later he's forgotten what he's done and doesn't understand other than your being mean to him. What you can do is pick it up with a paper towel while holding your puppy hold it up to him (while being calm) so that he can smell it from a distance and then walk him outside and sit him and the paper towel down on the ground (same for poo..) My dog has alwasy quickly grasped that he needs to go outside he just doesn't realize how to ask...he's just starting to catch on but again I have an older dog they are more challenging.
Have a very specific designated area for him to go potty (especially if you live some place that snows....your not gonna wanna have to join the ice capades to take him out lol). Always take him to go "potty" in his spot BEFORE taking him for a walk
Harness! One that the leash hooks to the front preferably. a) because all that pressure when he pulls on his throat is dangerous b) I can't remember what it's called if it's an endorphin that's released or what but there is something in their throats that when constricted it causes them to literally become stressed out. A stressed out puppy is not a learning puppy.
look up "loose leash training" on youtube
give lots of encouragement and always always praise when he does something you want him to do and don't focus on the "bad dog" so much you want to teach him that good things happen when he does good things and NOTHING happens when he doesn't do the right thing. Eventually he learns "If i walk beside mama i get treats and praise and we walk!!! When I walk away from mama she stops walking til i stop pulling, i stop getting treats and praise" they quickly get it...just like the "ooh if i pee outside i get treats i better save it til we go out again"
It's patience and love commitment and a lifestyle change...if you're willing to do that for him then please if yahoo answers allows people to contact each other please contact me i'll help you all I can I have spent hundreds of hours reading and researching and youtubing lol. There's other cleaning solutions and tricks too I'm totally happy to help anyone who is willing to make the commitment but if you are not then give him away right now!
