Play Over the Line at the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club

Over the Line (OTL) is a fun outdoor game that you can play at Old Mission Beach Athletic Club at Mission Bay on Fiesta Island in San Diego. If you’re coming to San Diego on vacation and enjoy trying new things, consider a day of OTL. Or get a team together and make a run at the OTL World Championship held every year at the club. We have vacation rentals available near the club, the beach and downtown that would be perfect for your team.

There are tons of activities at the beach, everything from surfing, swimming and snorkeling in the water to fun on the sand, like volleyball, Frisbee or building sandcastles. But there may not be a game more perfectly suited for the sun and sand than Over the Line. Ever heard of it? If you haven’t, then you’ve been missing out on a lot of fun and excitement.

Explore the Flower Fields of Carlsbad Ranch

If you’re a passionate gardener or love the smell of a fresh-cut bouquet of flowers in your home, then the Flower Fields of Carlsbad can’t be missed. Every year from early March until Mother’s Day in mid-May, Carlsbad is awash in color as the Flower Fields open its doors to the public, allowing visitors the opportunity to admire more than 50 acres of vibrant giant Tecolote ranunculus flowers. The ranunculus bulbs blossom into large and impressive designs, including long-colored rows in lemon yellows, ruby red, pristine whites and more.

If you’re heading to San Diego for a vacation, don’t pass up the opportunity to visit the Flower Fields if it’s in season (typically March 1 through Mother’s Day). Carlsbad is about 35 miles up the Pacific coast from San Diego on Interstate 5. We have vacation rentals available that are not far from the I-5, downtown San Diego and the beach. Take your pick! We offer smaller condos with one or two bedrooms, and we have larger, sprawling residences with four or more bedrooms that are chock-full of amenities and high-end luxury touches.

Piece Together the Perfect Outing to LEGOLAND

LEGOLAND California is a theme park and resort in Carlsbad, just north of San Diego, which is based on the popular Lego brand toy. The main attractions at the park are its many Lego-themed rides and shops. There is a hotel at the park, but many visitors opt for a vacation rental instead of staying at the on-site hotel.

Much like the hotels at Disneyland a little further north, the lodging options at LEGOLAND aren’t the greatest. Hotel rooms at the theme park are often booked full, guest rooms are on the smaller side, and prices are heavily inflated. And, while many parents can’t wait to experience the fun and excitement with their children at LEGOLAND, staying at the resort and being inundated with crowds, noise and waiting in line is a bit much. For parents on a budget, oftentimes staying overnight in a hotel at the theme park isn’t an option at all.
