La Costa Resort Villas - Condominium Townhomes
at the La Costa Resort in La Costa
The name La Costa, for many, conjures up images of golf, tennis, resort living by a pool, a fanciful spa. And why not?
The La Costa Resort and Spa was the first full service resort spa in the US, created back in the late 60s with the development of its famous golf course in South Carlsbad just minutes from the beach - a playground for the celebs from Hollywood, including the Rat Pack, and others with the time and money to spend luxuriating at the spa after a round of golf.

While La Costa remains, for many, a destination resort, and famous golfers and tennis players abound at various times of the year, the resort is also known for its popular La Costa Resort Villas, built beginning in 2004 with Phase 1. Several phases have been built since, and no new construction is formally planned from what I have heard due to the economy. There are a number of resale La Costa Resort Villas available, however, which afford the buyers excellent second home and investment opportunities.
The La Costa Resort Villas are luxurious, fully furnished turn-key units, like checking into a 5-star hotel suite. They are unique in that owners may only use them for 120 days out of the year (while they are wholly owned condos you cannot live in them year-round as they are on commercial property).
The plus is that they are rentals for the remainder of the year (owners can rent themselves but most, I understand, participate in the La Costa Resort rental program for a percentage of the rent), allowing for a fabulous second home at a world class resort plus the bonus of rental income, which can be substantial for some units.
The La Costa Resort Villas range in size from about 575 SF up to over 2500 SF, with studio units plus 1 to 3 bedrooms and up to 4 baths. Views vary by unit, from courtyard, to pool, to ocean, and all units have either patios or balconies to enjoy the Southern California lifestyle.
Current prices of the La Costa Resort Villas range from about $550,000 to $1.25 million. There are substantial HOA fees (which include electricity, cable and hot water in addition to the traditional maintenance and landscaping) but one also must consider the amenities - excellent dining, golf, shopping, the famed spa. In some cases a sports membership is included in the sale which allows for special discounts at the resort for all the amenities.
The La Costa Resort Villas offer luxurious second home living plus rental income at a world class resort in beautiful Southern California along the Pacific Ocean. For more information, please feel free to contact me or start your search now...

Hi Jeff, This is excellent and I am just going to imitate you with these great hyper-local posts. Did you attend the Virtual Real Estate Bar Camp today. did and it was just ... I lack words bigger than amazing. My retention rate on this one is going to rely heavily on about 30 pages of notes. By days end, I was exhausted and overwhelmed, excited and with brain exploding with ideas all at the same time.
Jeff, I really enjoy your Localism posts and especially the way the narrative style in which they are written. Great Job!
Ah!!! The good life. . . and right here at our fingertips.
Folks seeking condo living in a luxury community with fabulous accomodations and surrounds will surely appreciate this description.
Jeff, timeless elegance abounds, how unique is it that the owners can only stay there 120 days a year.
Hi JEff, boy theses sure look nice. Wish I could move. I'm sick of NH...oh well if I win the lottery I'll give you a call.

Jeff:
This is so descriptive and inviting. I would love to live at La Costa Village. It sounds heavenly with all of the amenities.
Sounds like a great place to live. If I decide to move this will be one of my top picks. Thanks!!!
William - I jsut do not have the time right now. Wish I did.
Russell - I appreciate teh compliment. The intent, of course, is to make them appealing to buyers who are doing their research and need information.
Lenn - so true. They are not for everyone, but lots of folks saw the value as they all sold out fairly quickly. No doubt the economy has played an issue in their current plans.
Jeff
Jeff - La Costa is truly awesome. We have had the privilege of staying there on a few occasions and look forward to returning again.
Some incredible looking property in your pictures. As lenn said, "The good life". :)
Hi Jeff -- I shoulda been a theatre major and made it big in LA! :) I was almost drooling reading this post!
Jeff you make La Costa Village so inviting. This looks like condo living at its best.
Congrats on the feature. It's well-earned on this one. The photos are spectacular. And the information is fascinating. I've never heard of an arrangement like they have with the condos there. Kudos! =)
Thank you for the kind words regarding real estate. I am humbled by this.
