Santa Margarita Vacation Packages

I have been visiting Solvang and surrounding are for over 15 years. Now I have children and was super happy with the amenities at Sideways, which worked for all. Quiet hours are from 10-10. There is a bar/lounge on site with indoor and outdoor seating, open til 10. They also have a semipermanent trailer that they sell sausage and other smoked meats out of during afternoon hours. The pool was a huge it with my kids, they made friends every morning while swimming. Sideways also has access to the RV park right behind it. This park is nice with its own pool. So there is lots of area to walk around and kids to ride bikes. There is no adult breakfast, but they bring in fresh donuts each morning, which were a hit with my kids and the coffee was great. We used the tesla charger on site, there are 4. The chargers are level 2, so a slower charge. It was $0.45 kWh. Beds were comfortable, shower was clean and had good pressure. There were both a microwave and a good sized fridge in the room as well. We had a fantastic time!

Our stay was really nice. The firepits are a great amenity. Our room was spacious and clean. Our only issue is the big island in the parking area. It needs to be lighted at night for people walking in that area.

Great place overall. The only downside was that we had a connecting door to the next room in our room, and the gap at the bottom was so big that we could hear the guests in the next room very clearly.

We stayed at the FogCatcher Inn 20 years ago. It is still a nice place to stay across from the beach. However, maybe it is me, but it seems to have lost some charm. The wonderful breakfast that used to be offered (probably a COVID victim) is no longer offered. Age and the likely constant maintenance in that climate has taken its toll. Nevertheless, I'd stay there again because of the location and sentiment. Maybe it was having kids with us this time that changed the ambiance.

Perfect location - beautiful view and easy beach access. Pet-friendly!
