San Marcos Private Garden Cottage
Great place and really nice backyard, great neighborhood

Adorable San Diego Guesthouse
I have never stayed in South Park before. This location was so fun! Lots of little places to walk to. No issues with parking.

Lovely Guesthouse in garden setting
We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

Fig Tree Bungalow
This place was great for our quick weekend trip. Definitely worth the price.

Private Family Friendly Casita/Guesthouse
The casita was perfect for my family! It was bigger and even nicer in person. Robert was responsive and friendly. It was very clean, and had everything you need. We would love to stay there again!

Retreat house. Nature, Hot Tub, Views!
We had a wonderful stay at Meaghan's place! She was non intrusive yet quick to respond when we had a question. As for the airbnb, it was spectacular! Inside was comfortable and had everything we needed. The outside - well the pictures can't quite capture the intense beauty of the surroundings. I loved the yoga platform and playing with her cats. A great place to decompress and make peace with the world.

Cosy quiet Guesthouse near SDSU
I think this place was well worth what it was advertised. Great location host was very responsive and I will book again if I’m in the area..

Private Family Friendly Guest House
We had a perfectly comfortable stay and would come back again the next time we are in town if available. The backyard is amazing!

Golden Hour Guesthouse
Cara and Erik are excellent hosts with fantastic hospitality. In terms of the Airbnb itself, it was amazing and I would definitely stay there again. So much room, so well maintained— you can see immediately how serious Cara and Erik take hosting. The location makes it so easy to go to fantastic restaurants and bars, and is close everything you’ll need. Again, I cannot stress how much i enjoyed my stay and couldn’t recommend Cara and Erik more!

Adorable cottage in Talmadge
Another great visit! Convenient location coupled with wonderful amenities, along with Carlos’ hospitality makes this a top choice for us when visiting San Diego to see our son!

Cozy 2 Bedroom Guest House
Great Place to stay at - Highly recommend

La Jolla Oasis: Ocean, City and Fire Works Views
This was our third time staying at Atoosa’s place and it never disappoints. The house is very clean, we love the location, and the neighborhood is so quiet. We always enjoy our stay and can’t wait to visit again soon!

SDCannaBnB #1 *420 *parking *dog-friendly *hot tub
Zina and Craig are awesome hosts! The place was so nice and clean. And plenty of extra amenities. This is the second time we have stayed here and we really look forward to our next visit!! Thank you for spending your anniversary/420/Easter with us!!

Banner Country Cottage
It was easy to find, good parking and felt right at home. Very short drive to and from town. Also very quite and peaceful place to stay at. the tub is very high so be aware if you're short or have difficulty getting in and out of tubs.

Cozy, Quiet and Private Backyard Studio Escape
Everything was great but the thing that stood out the most was how CLEAN everything was. I find most airbnb hosts are not keeping their rentals as clean as I would like, but this one was spotless. Not only organized, but also bathroom and kitchen tiles, counters and floors throughout were very clean and I appreciated that so much! Stephanie also graciously offered to help with a pricing issue I encountered before booking which was very kind. The guest house is quiet and peaceful and I found the bed to be very comfortable. Very nice all around.

Guest house with ocean views and private deck.
Cosmin’s guest house was one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had! The location was fantastic—it was close to everything we wanted to do, had easy on street parking, and was in a quiet family friendly neighborhood. The interior was extremely clean and appeared to be created with care. The kitchen was well equipped to handle all your cooking needs, and the washer/dryer were a nice addition! My family and I enjoyed our stay and felt right at home. The view from the back deck was also an added bonus! I would highly recommend.

Beautiful Private Villa walk to beach
It’s was amazing staying a Kim’s guesthouse. Felt very private and peaceful. The birds sounded so beautiful in the morning, we thought it was fake at first. The flowers just outside are beautiful. The beach within walking distance was a perfect place to play, lay out, watch the sunset and surfers. We even saw dolphins one night! Just a magical time. We will definitely come back!

San Diego Shangri-La
This apartment is great for 2 people to enjoy the San Diego / La Jolla area. We stayed here for a full month. The apartment is very cozy and the hosts are absolutely fantastic! They have an office set up downstairs (in the garage) and work there most weekdays and occasionally on weekends, so you're not in a totally private house (you have your own entrance and space upstairs), but they are close by for questions. As is prevalent in the area our small dog was very welcome in this apartment. If you have a small dog be wary of coyotes that roam the area.

Pacific Beach Guest House With Garage and A/C
Had a great stay at this Airbnb. hist provided excellent instructions and the space was accurately described in the listing. Was a great basecamp for visiting San Diego friends and exploring the city.

Private 2 bedroom apt in new craftsman ranch!
Decided to do a stay-cation for my best friend's birthday and Jackie's home was absolutely perfect for it. The location is amazing, the property is extremely beautiful and well maintained. We did a wine tour for my friends birthday and all the wineries we went to were just minutes from the Airbnb. The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, the front porch chairs were perfect to sit in and enjoy a glass of wine. The best part was that you feel completely safe. I personally didn't even feel the need to take the house keys when we left. We left the door unlocked which I would never normally do. I really appreciate Jackie's quick responses and also allowing us to drop off one of the cars early so we didn't have to drive multiple cars around to each winery. - if you stay I recommend cordiano winery for a sunset dinner. Thank you again, Jackie! I can't wait to be back.

La Casita Private Resort Spa and Mini Golf Course
A beautiful setting & lovely guest house with charming decor. I prefer a no-host/no deadline check-in, especially as we were driving down from Los Angeles on a Friday afternoon, a 2.5-hour drive that took 5 hours -- and I was sweating that deadline the whole way. I was prepared for it, but ... The place could use a bit of maintenance/professional cleaning -- found a sock and dog bone under the bed, indicating that it hadn't been swept under there. The water seemed low in the Jacuzzi when we got in and an unpleasant foam formed almost immediately upon entry. Was not clear that it had been cleaned (or how well it had been cleaned) before our arrival. The host did warn us to watch our footing & heads while traversing the property, but the planking to the Jacuzzi and elsewhere, as well as hand-holds on railings, should be attended to. Wifi was weak/unreliable. Wasn't crazy about freeway noise either. All that having been said, it's a gem of a place that just needs updated TLC.

Quaint Craftsman#2- Walkable, Parking, EV Charging
Great stay and great area. Very accommodating hosts and they had great recommendations for food and coffee spots that were all walking distance. Place is just a short drive away from Coronado, downtown San Diego and La Jolla. Would stay here again!

Indoor/Outdoor Sanctuary in Ocean Beach
The place was as described and Lori was responsive. Although, I did accidentally break a small plate while cleaning it. I let her know but didn't get a response. Oops! And it would have felt good hearing, "no worries it happens." Only because I felt bad. Overall, beautiful and relaxing. I'll definitely book there again when we're back to visit family!

Beautiful Historic Home and Gardens Near Downtown!
Sam's place was lovely. The house is as advertised , and well appointed throughout. The garden was tranquil, and a nice place to relax after a long day. Sam provided us with all the kids items (Stroller, Pack n play, high chair, etc.) I highly recommend this house for all things San Diego. The location and amenities can't be beat.
