Bungalow w Hot Tub-Sauna-Cold Plunge

KristinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our second time staying in Paul & Amy's Carlsbad cottage and it proved once again to be a quiet and comfortable nest during our travels. Bright, airy, well-designed and super comfortable with a fantastic patio and backyard for winding down—addition of a fire pit made for a really relaxing evening. Centrally located with lots to do around, this is the perfect spot for small families and solo travelers wanting a bit of a break from the touristy options. Paul is very communicative and helpful, even sending over video instructions how to work the sauna and fire pit upon arrival— Highly recommend and will return again!

Really enjoyed our stay. Great location for access to the beach and local restaurants and centrally located within a short drive to the heart of San Diego. Access to bikes a nice plus for rides along the beach. Unit was clean and comfortable, no complaints.

Private Getaway w Pool/BBQ/Firepit Large Backyard

SavinoRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We booked Suan and Jessica's place for Easter weekend. We had planned a trip to the Flower Gardens and Legoland in Carlsbad, both of which were less than 20 minutes away from where we were staying. Not only was the place conveniently located, it offered us a spot to enjoy our family's company and dedicate our time to our grandaughter. We barbecued, watched movies, swam in swimming pool, did our own arts and crafts, etc. We had an overall amazing time at a reasonable price without the chaos and limitations of booking a hotel room. We would definitely book this place in the future if we are in the area.

Contemporary San Diego Home

StacieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barry’s place. It’s located in a peaceful neighborhood with easy access to many sites in San Diego. The house was very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed relaxing in the tranquil backyard - being welcomed by Barry’s sweet golden retriever, Dorry was a highlight. We will definitely return.

5BR | Salt Water Pool | Hot Tub | Fire Pit| BBQ

HollieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I love that the kitchen was very well stocked! If you like to cook it’s great! The backyard was beautiful my kids loved the resort feel. We visited for a graduation for my nephew from the Marines boot camp. The location was about 20-25 minutes from base which was so easy because you’re close to the freeway! The house was perfect for our stay! The box truck in the front yard was a throw off when we arrived but once inside you didn’t notice it was there. The house is very cute and full of everything you need to have a great stay! Thank you Brian for being a great host!

*Beach Break* Oceanfront/Balcony/Walk Everywhere

PeterRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Bart and Debra’s place was awesome! The place feels like you’re at a Disneyland hotel. The gardens are breathtaking, the pool was as good if not better than the beach itself. Restaurants are a one minute drive. The unit itself was super-clean and the parking is right next to the elevator which can be difficult in other units at this location. That was the BIG win for us. Would definitely return!

#3, Ocean Front Studio by the Beach in Carlsbad

VickieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved being so close to the beach and so close to Carlsbad Village; once we parked our car we walked everywhere. So nice to have designated parking, too. The place was very nice, queen bed super comfortable. The pullout bed was not as comfortable, but after layering the sofa seat cushions on the 2nd night it was much better. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was fully stocked, bedding and towels were high quality. We would definitely choose this unit again. We found it remarkably quiet despite being so close to everything. The team at Sea Breeze is VERY responsive, but even with that we had a couple of questions that never got answered. That did not impact our enjoyment. We walked to State Street and had an amazing breakfast at Wildland followed by some good boutique shopping, then ice cream at Handels; a great rooftop dinner during happy hour at Fresco, and the rest of the time we stayed right on our deck or on the beach at Sea Breeze. Can’t wait to do it again!

My family thought the house was great, we used the grill outside twice and used the beach chairs and sand toys. Sat next to the cozy fire place every night. The nearby restaurants and coffee shops were great.

The Bee Hive was so cute. We had so much fun. We love Encinitas. We parked our full-size suv in the designated parking spot and didn’t use it the whole time we were there. We walked to the beach, we walked to get coffee in the mornings, we walked to shops and we even did d 2 different escape roomed on 2 different days. We can’t wait to go back!

Beach house steps from surf and restaurants.

GinelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed at Maria's place with our two 14- and 11-year-old kids for a week and had a perfect vacation. Maria had great recommendations and clear instructions on where to park and enter. We loved walking to Rosemont Cafe and the beach, and our favorite local dinners were at The Promiscuous Fork, The Taco Stand, and El Pescador. Beds and linens were very comfortable, and the patio was peaceful and private. Highly recommended!

Live the Beach Life in a Quaint Shell Cottage

SamanthaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This beach cottage was perfect for my husband, our 13 month old son, and small dog for the weekend. The house and linens are clean. The house, patio and yard are cute. It is located in a quiet cul-de-sac. They had plenty of beach chairs, towels, wagons, and beach toys for us to use. We had a great weekend here.

This place was HEAVEN!! We fell in love with the place. The place was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. A 15 min walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the view from the couch every morning and the view from the lifeguard chairs in the evening. The Airbnb hosts were helpful and responsive. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

Casa Del Oceano, Solana Beach

MarciaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We stayed at Pete's place because it has a gorgeous pool (the pool slide was a huge hit), is close to Del Mar racetrack, and is close to the beach/ocean (you can see the ocean from the front yard). We took our two Bichons and felt safe and secure letting them out. We have family in San Diego and had a small family cook out on Sunday. The grill was awesome, and there are lots of fun things to do on the property, front and back yards. We didn't take advantage of the jacuzzi, but it was already heated up. Since the house doesn't have air conditioning, there were fans in the family room and bedroom. Large kitchen, so you can cook and bake if you don't want to eat out all the time. The house is single story, but outside there are lots of levels where you have to go up and down some single steps,so small children would need help and elderly or disabled folks may need help, too. Pete gave great directions about how to access the main entrance, and the self check-in security code.

SHORE BREAK HOUSE Where Turf Meets Surf! NFLTicket

MoniqueRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Staying at Dan's beach house in Oceanside was a dream. As a single mom with a small child it fit perfectly into my needs. It was close to a bike path, walkable to the ocean to view the sunset, and had endless beach amenities, which made packing lighter. The outside space is lovely. We played on the grass and sat outside to enjoy snacks and games. The garage space felt like a treasure trove of bikes, chairs, beach toys, umbrellas... anything you needed was within reach. It was also a safe space to store the scooters and child bike I brought. The space was clean, airy, bright, and had everything we needed. What I love about the location was access to a bike path along the train. This helped avoid car traffic on our way to the pier. And there were some delicious restaurants for breakfast and dinner just a short drive away. Honestly, we enjoyed south Oceanside for this reason. I can't recommend this place enough. Best value and experience of Airbnb yet! We'll be back for sure!

"Seafoam House" just steps to Surf Beach, Downtown

HellerRating, 5 stars3 months ago
I stayed here for three weeks. It was wonderful. The place was neat and cozy. Walkable to restaurants, stores, museums, and, thrilling to this midwesterner, about a 90 second walk to the beach. Felt totally safe walking around at night. Communication with Rachel was great, and Pete who managed the property responded immediately and was full of helpful suggestions, from where to order pizza to where to get my car fixed. Really enjoyed my stay, and would love to return some day!

Your guide to Del Mar

All About Del Mar

The Californian beach town of Del Mar, located less than half an hour north of San Diego, is a popular stop on the world-famous Highway 101. The downtown area consists of an eclectic mix of architecture styles, including whitewashed buildings, beach cottages, and half-timber Tudor-style structures with a European feel. The town has been a popular vacation spot since the early days of Hollywood, when film stars would flock to Del Mar’s expansive beach and saunter down its streets under the swaying palms.

Del Mar is renowned for mouth-wateringly fresh seafood, hip cocktail bars, and luxury shopping, and the shoreline is blanketed with million-dollar mansions. Del Mar Beach is a sweeping stretch of soft sand, which gives way to the glittering cerulean waters of the Pacific Ocean, where surfers come to catch waves in the Californian sun.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Del Mar

Southern California’s renowned sunshine means that Del Mar vacation rentals are popular all year round. May and early June can sometimes be a bit cloudy, while late June, July, and August offer the warmest weather, which attracts beachcomber and swimmers to the shoreline. Every June, there is a popular local fair, where the grounds are turned into a thriving center of entertainment for all ages with more than 40 food concessionaires, over 250 vendors selling crafts, carnival rides, and local musicians. During the spring and fall, visitor numbers drop and you may even have the beach to yourself. Winter is when temperatures are at their lowest, but consistent swells make this the best time for surfing.


Top things to do in Del Mar

Del Mar Beach

This pristine two-mile-long beach is popular with sun-worshippers all year round. Surfers line the shore in the winter when the waves are at their highest, while summer brings gentler surf and more a relaxing environment for swimming and paddling. There are also two tranquil oceanfront parks, which offer a scenic setting for a coastal picnic.

Torrey Pines Natural State Reserve

Less than 10 minutes south of Del Mar, this rugged landscape is made up of nearly 2,000 acres of protected state reserve. This is one of the most untamed sections of southern California, with hiking paths passing through untouched natural environments before reaching soaring cliffs offering sweeping views out across the Pacific Ocean. Look out for humpback whales down below, as well as flowering cacti and coyotes.

Del Mar Farmers Market

Sitting just a street from the beach on Camino Del Mar, Del Mar Farmers Market showcases locally grown produce. The stalls have handcrafted artwork, heirloom tomatoes, honey, fragrant herbs, and other locally-created items. Locals pick up seasonal fruit and handmade cheeses for impromptu al fresco dinners by the waves.
