I just visited SCBC. The two bedroom units are unique. They are on two levels. You can enter the unit from Pacific Street (it has an exterior door at the street level) and from the patio (if you have the patio door unlocked). The bottom level has a living area, a dining table with chairs, powder room, and a small kitchen. It has a convection/microwave oven, but not a regular oven that many are used to seeing. The stairway to the second level is narrow and will fit only one adult going up/down. The second level has two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. The master bedroom has an armchair that you can sit in to enjoy the ocean view. The second bedroom faces Pacific Street. You can see the ocean from the both levels but not the shoreline. There were a lot of surfers and you can see them better from the master bedroom. I don't know how noisy it is in the summertime, but the resort was fairly quiet when we were there last week. I own at Carlsbad Seapointe and I like the views better there in their two bedroom corner units. SCBC, though, is close to the Oceanside Pier and lots of restaurants. Also, there are a few homeless people (found them to be harmless) hanging around not too far from the resort.
