Such a great getaway location! Quick and easy access to the beach, walkable distance to multiple restaurants, quick and easy access to interstate for a couple day trips to San Diego. Amenities were helpful and convenient, including multiple things for our young kids to do. Would love to come stay again!

South Oceanside Rare Tropical Beach Hideaway

ChristinaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
This was a true 5 star place. You get the entire property to yourself and the surrounding gates/plants make it feel very private. That said, the location is great because everything you need is in walking distance; eats, coffee, beach, corner store. The best part is the house is located in an area the passing trains aren’t allowed to blow their horns so you won’t get woken up by them if you aren’t used to it. My kid had fun walking down the block to watch them pass during the day. Amazing amenities included; covered garage for parking, grass lawn, outside table with umbrella, hammock, tv inside, huge bathtub with shower and fully stocked kitchen with numerous appliances. The bed sheets were actual bed sheets! Not the cheap paper kind every other single airbnb tends to provide. Plenty of pillows and towels. Comfortable couch and bean bag chair. Host was extremely kind and responsive. Great place for singles, couples or families. We will be staying here again, no doubt!

#3, Ocean Front Studio by the Beach in Carlsbad

ShellyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Sea Breeze was wonderful. Enjoyed every minute there, it was everything we had hoped for and more. We could sit on the couch and look out at the ocean and unwind. You could walk to Carlsbad Village which had restaurants and great shopping and fun, funky stores. We can’t wait to go back.

*3 Blocks to Beach w/ Beach Gear, Private Backyard

SusieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Lauren place was immaculate. Lovely plants adorned the entire place. We had everything available to feel right at home. The backyard has a playground and ample toys for the kids to play outdoors. We grilled dinner outside when we didn’t hit the local shops for food. The place is very walkable to the beach and local shops. Lauren’s recommendations were awesome. The train passes near by but we were not bothered by the noise and you can’t really hear it once inside the home.

Ac home with lots outside space

StevenRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Melissa’s place was great, offering plenty of parking. However, since it’s located in an alley shared with neighbors, it felt a bit tight with only one way in and out. Despite that, my crew and I had a comfortable stay, rested well, and found her home to be clean and equipped with all the amenities we needed.

Pacific Beach Bungalow - Steps from Mission Bay!

AnthonyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Erik's place met our needs. The location was just right - walking distance to water front and restaurants, and short drive to ocean beaches and further selection of restaurants. Always felt safe walking in the area with the family. Erik responded quickly to questions. The apartment was clean. We used it as a base for trips to the San Diego zoo and many other places of interest. Would recommend Erik's place.

Private Getaway w Pool/BBQ/Firepit Large Backyard

TerryRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We felt right at home and was left with everything we could have possibly have needed. The host was very helpful and responsive. This home will be a great place to stay in the warmer weather too. We comfortable unfortunately could not enjoy the pool due to winter weather, but it was ready to go, if we were crazy enough to swim. We would definitely consider this home again in the future.

this was our second stay at Barry's house. our first stay there we had to leave early because of the hurricane shut down the fishing. this year we were lucky enough to stay the whole weekend Barry's house has a spectacular View of the fireworks every evening from the backyard balcony. the house is very clean the AC worked phenomenal. overall I have to say this is probably one of the most comfortable and quiet airbnbs that I have ever stayed at. we were gone during the day so we only came back in the evening the neighborhood is quiet peaceful if that's what you're looking for I definitely recommend staying here.

Oceanside - 1920s Craftsmen - Large Backyard

TearsaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Cute and cozy older home that's been fully renovated. Nice large back yard with a fire pit and hanging lights that worked great for our family BBQ. It is walking distance (less than half mile) from the ocean and pier. There are several places within walking distance for food, convenient store items, and shopping. The construction next door was loud in the days, but that's no fault of the host/property, just something to be aware of until it is completed. We felt safe and comfortable for our stay. would definitely stay again in the future.

Fabulous Beach Home! Walk to Beach-Guest Favorite!

SheilaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our family spent Thanksgiving at Stephanie’s place. The outdoor fireplace was fabulous, as was the community kitchen, and the location is ideal - it’s super easy to grab great coffee nearby or take a short walk to the beach. The beds, living area, and outdoor seating are incredibly comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. This spot offers a wonderful balance of comfort and convenience – we loved being there! The only regret was not using the surf boards available in the garage!

This is such a beautiful home, I already want to go back! The walk to the beach was easy and so close. The privacy of the outdoor seating area was really nice. Kitchen was clean and spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable! The water pressure in the showers wasn’t very strong, but everything else was perfect. Would absolutely stay again! Oh, and the hosts were very responsive throughout the stay when I had any questions!

Live the Beach Life in a Quaint Shell Cottage

DekyilRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We’ve stayed at Brenda’s cottage years ago before it was renovated and it was so fun being back to enjoy the updated home with our puppy this time. The home was spotless, the updated bathroom and kitchen were great, and location is unbeatable - a block away from the dog beach and minutes away from great restaurants. We can’t wait to stay here again.

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.
