Book a Stay
Looking for a fall getaway in San Diego? Skip the pumpkin spice and head somewhere with sunshine, pools, fire pits and a four-story waterslide.
Fall in San Diego is a little different. While much of the country is pulling out puffer jackets and preparing for chilly mornings, San Diego stays sunny, warm and very much ready for a vacation.
That makes fall an ideal time to visit Town and Country Resort, a 23-acre resort in the heart of Mission Valley. With 671 guestrooms and suites, three pools, the four-story Twister waterslide, multiple restaurants and bars, fire pits, resort activities and a central San Diego location, Town and Country gives you plenty of reasons to make fall your season for getting away.
And yes, you can still wear a sweater.
Just maybe wear it with shorts.
Is San Diego a good place to visit in the fall?
Absolutely. Fall is one of the best times to experience San Diego if you want a getaway with warm weather, outdoor activities and fewer reasons to stay inside.
At Town and Country Resort, fall can mean a morning by the pool, an afternoon exploring San Diego and an evening gathered around a fire pit. The resort is centrally located in Mission Valley, making it easy to visit popular San Diego attractions including the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld San Diego, Balboa Park and local beaches.
In other words, you can have a very productive fall.
Or you can accomplish absolutely nothing.
We support both.
What can you do at Town and Country Resort in the fall?
1. Ride Twister, San Diego's four-story waterslide
Your vacation rental probably doesn't have a waterslide.
Sad.
Town and Country does.
Twister is a four-story, 150-foot looping waterslide and the longest hotel waterslide in San Diego. Guests can race down the slide before cooling off in the resort's pools or settling into a cabana or daybed.
Because nothing says “fall getaway” quite like yelling “WOOOO!” while flying down a waterslide.
2. Spend the afternoon poolside
Fall doesn't mean the pool season is over in San Diego.
Town and Country's pool complex includes three pools, including the Main Pool, Kid's Pool and quieter Tiki Pool. Guests can also reserve private cabanas and daybeds for a more relaxed pool day.
The Main Pool features a 22,000-square-foot pool deck, and mobile ordering means you don't even have to leave your chair to order food and drinks.
That's what we call seasonal productivity.
3. Gather around the fire pits
When the sun goes down, the fun doesn't have to.
Town and Country's outdoor spaces include fire pits where guests can slow down, hang out and enjoy a quintessential Southern California evening. Seasonal resort activities and outdoor experiences add even more reasons to spend time outside.
Bring a sweater.
You know, just in case.
4. Eat and drink your way through the resort
A fall getaway should involve eating something you didn't have to cook.
At Town and Country, guests can choose from several on-property dining options, including ARLO, Lapper and The MRKT, along with cocktails and casual bites throughout the resort.
Start the day with breakfast, grab something poolside, meet up for drinks and finish with dinner.
Repeat as necessary.
Is Town and Country Resort good for a family fall vacation?
Town and Country is designed for families, couples, groups and adults looking for a fun San Diego getaway.
Families can spend the day at the pools and waterslide, while adults can enjoy poolside drinks, dining, fire pits and the resort's other amenities. The resort also offers activities and entertainment designed to keep everyone occupied without requiring you to leave the property.
For families visiting San Diego in October, Town and Country is also offering a Kids Eat Free package for stays from October 1 through October 31, 2026. Children 12 and under receive a complimentary breakfast at ARLO with each paying adult entrée, and the package includes waived resort fees.
More waffles.
Less wallet stress.
Everybody wins.
What is there to do near Town and Country Resort?
One of the biggest advantages of staying at Town and Country is its central Mission Valley location.
From the resort, guests can easily explore some of San Diego's most popular attractions, including:
- San Diego Zoo
- SeaWorld San Diego
- Balboa Park
- San Diego beaches
- Fashion Valley
- Old Town San Diego
- Downtown San Diego
The resort is also approximately seven miles from San Diego International Airport, making it convenient for travelers arriving by air.
Spend the morning exploring.
Spend the afternoon at the pool.
Spend the evening deciding whether you have room for dessert.
That's a pretty good fall itinerary.
Why choose a San Diego resort instead of a vacation rental?
A vacation rental might give you a kitchen.
Town and Country gives you a resort.
That means you can wake up in a mid-century-inspired guest room, walk to the pool, ride a four-story waterslide, order lunch without leaving your chair, grab dinner on property and end the night around a fire pit.
Town and Country has 671 guestrooms and suites, three pools, Twister waterslide, restaurants and bars, family activities and 295,050 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space.
So yes, you could book a vacation rental.
But does your vacation rental have a waterslide?
Exactly.
Plan your fall getaway to San Diego
Fall in San Diego is about as far from a traditional fall getaway as you can get.
There are no mandatory leaf-peeping excursions. No scraping ice off your windshield. No spending the entire day inside because it's 42 degrees.

Your vacation rental doesn't have a waterslide?
Sad.
Your fall getaway does.
