    The Tamarack Beach Resort is located in the beautiful coastal city of Carlsbad, California. The resort is situated right on the beach and offers guests spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. The resort is a great destination for travelers looking for a relaxing beach vacation, as well as for those who want to explore the many attractions and activities that Carlsbad has to offer.

    Secure parking, elevator access from garage parking, a nice pool & two hot tubs with plenty of lounge chairs and no daily resort fee. Take a short walk down to the beach, free use of beach chairs, or bring your bikes and enjoy a nice bike ride. Enjoy those beautiful sunsets from your living room, balcony, or from the golden shores of Carlsbad State Beach.

    One of the main attractions of the Tamarack Beach Resort is its location in Carlsbad Village, a charming and historic area of the city. Carlsbad Village is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, and art galleries, and it is a great place to explore on foot. The village is also home to the Carlsbad State Beach, which is popular for swimming, sunbathing, and beach volleyball.

    The Tamarack Beach Resort is also conveniently located near several major Southern California cities. The resort is just a short drive from San Diego, which is home to many popular attractions such as the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, and Balboa Park. The resort is also just a short drive from La Jolla, a beautiful coastal community known for its beaches, restaurants, and shopping.

    Tamarack is one of our FAVORITE timeshare resorts in a great location – you will not be disappointed.

    We are long time owners of 3 units at Tamarack! We love it ... the "village" of Carlsbad; convenience of coaster train to San Diego; the beautiful beaches and restaurants. The staff at Tamarack have become like old friends. Tony has been the manager since we first bought over 25 years ago. They are keeping the resort up .. always painting and renewing the units. We are selling one of our units only because we are getting on in age.

    Having been a Tamarack visitor for the last 10 years, our family has always found it to be just about perfect in every way: beautiful facility and location directly across from a spectacular beach, friendly staff, clean and well equipped units, full series of amenities ranging from the pool and spa to exercise room, multiple gas fired bbq units, to the free movie rentals, pool and ping pong tables, and coffee round the clock. This is about as good as it gets!

    Our favorite family spot for our California getaway with the comforts of home. I love the fact that it is right across from the stunning Carlsbad State Beach and ocean views from your large balcony..

    The resort has spacious and recently updated two-bedroom units that are thoughtfully designed to comfortably host up to six adults, making them ideal for larger groups or families.

    One of the highlights of this unit is the extra large patio. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with a drink, enjoy the fresh ocean breeze, and soak in the magnificent sunsets that Carlsbad is famous for.

    The resort itself is well-maintained, with friendly staff and a heated pool, hot tub, and fitness center. The location is also fantastic, with shops, restaurants, and walking distance to Carlsbad Village.

    Overall, Tamarack Beach Resort provides an excellent combination of location, comfort, and value. Highly recommended!

    Discover Tamarack Beach Resort directly across from the ocean on Carlsbad State Beach. This resort is the perfect place to relax by the pool or on your living room balcony watching the sunset. Only blocks away from downtown and Main Street which offer many restaurants, stores, bars and live music. You will want to keep coming back.

    Tamarack is located across Carlsbad BLVD from the ocean with miles of wide sidewalk along the seaside and a 5 minute walk into Carlsbad. with Walmart and Costco near by as well as Legoland. The large ocean view, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom units have fully equipped kitchens. A great place to stay. Just over an hour to San Diego or Disneyland.

    We have owned the property for over 25 years and enjoy the Carlsbad area. The resort is across the street from the beach, three blocks from downtown, and four blocks to the train. The Coaster train goes to Oceanside, Encinitas, San Diego, and more. A Fish and Chips shop across the street and five-star restaurants within a short distance. Last year, we drove there, parked the car, and walked to everything. Because of family issues, we can't go this year. Can't wait for next year.

    We own a 2-bedroom timeshare at Tamarack and have been coming here for over 20 years. It is hands-down our favorite resort!

    Amazing ocean-view rooms, easy elevator access, literally across the street from the Carlsbad beach, amenities for the whole family, excellent rooms with all the extras, clean resort and wonderful staff. Really could not ask for more from a California timeshare!

    We always enjoy our visit to Tamarack. The restaurants are great and evening walks along the beach are added a treat. We like to get in some golf at the nearby courses as well as visiting the San Diego Zoo. If you prefer horse racing the Del Mar track is 30 minutes away. So much to do!

    This is the best resort we have ever stayed in. The ocean View is wonderful. Watching the sunset from your balcony is the best. Walking distance to everywhere in Carlsbad Village. The units are a very good size. We never want to leave after our week is over.
