Apartment in Mission Beach
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 173 reviews✨Beach Shag✨ Footsteps from the Sand + Bikes
The spot came just as advertised. It was incredibly close to everything in the Mission Beach area. The hosts were responsive and helpful in accommodating some specific needs for our stay.

Home in North Ocean Beach
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 493 reviewsSwanky Casa Ocean Beach 1 Blk to Beach w A/C
This is the best location you could ask for! You can be at the beach, dinner or shopping after a 2 minute walk! The house is exactly like the pictures. Beds were very comfortable. Having 1 bathroom is not ideal but the rental rate compensates for that as well as the location! ! Front patio and back yard add so much space to this property. Street parking is the norm for OB. It’s kind of a trick, once you park you don’t want to move your car so you walk everywhere. And that becomes part of the adventure. Win/Win! It is a very quiet street, the action is 2 blocks over. We did not experience any construction noise while we were there. OB is in the flight path for the airport though, so bring earplugs every time. We will definitely rent this one again!

Guesthouse in La Jolla
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 100 reviewsStunning Oceanview Treehouse - 4 Blocks to Cove
Jane and Ian’s place was awesome! Great space with well equipped kitchen and brand new appliances and cookware. The view from the 2nd floor porch-balcony was amazing since we could sit out with glass of wine and watch the sunsets. The king bed was very comfortable. The location was a short walking distance to La Jolla Cove and local amenities like restaurants and stores. Both hosts, plus their site manager, were super communicative and responsive. We will definitely book with this Host Team again!

Apartment in Pacific Beach
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 308 reviewsBest in Pacific Beach, 2bedroom+loft!! 5*sanitized
We had a great time on our Christmas vacation in San Diego. Laura was an excellent host, always providing a quick response to our questions and offering recommendations for sites and activities in the area. The place was clean, well organized, and with a well appointed kitchen for preparing and eating meals. The location is great, close to supermarkets, restaurants, and shops. The neighborhood in Pacific Beach was quiet, and close to all the major attractions in the San Diego and La Jolla area. I would definitely stay here again if I plan to vacation in San Diego in the future, and I would highly recommend this place to my friends and family.

Condo in Carlsbad Village
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 135 reviewsCarlsbad Beach Vacation Home – Premium Location S
We had a great stay! Close to the beach with beach towels, chairs, wagon and toys for the kids provided. Lots of restaurants just a short walk away. Place was clean and as described in listing. All amenities listed included. Host was communicative and responded quickly when needed.

Cottage in Pacific Beach
4.84 out of 5 average rating, 122 reviews921 Beach Cottage-Hottest location in San Diego
I had a wonderful stay at this lovely house! The place was spotless, with very comfortable beds that made for great sleep. The kitchen was stocked with the basics like oil, salt, pepper, a coffee machine, and cleaning supplies, which was super useful. The mattress was especially comfortable, and the patio was a fantastic space to relax. The washer was also in great condition and very convenient. Highly recommend this Airbnb for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!

Home in La Jolla
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 115 reviewsVIEWS of Ocean, Bay, DT w/ AC in N Pacific Beach
Many thanks to Renee for being such a great host! We were extremely happy with our stay. Everything was as described, the location was perfect, and the house was quiet, clean and comfortable. Only thing to note is that the driveway is very steep! If you plan on parking on the street, make sure you are able to climb a short, sharp incline to access the home.

Condo in Oceanside
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 109 reviewsLovely, 1 bedroom Condo, Ocean & Pool View-
I have never been more satisfied with an Airbnb stay. Susan proactively communicated with us and shared instructions clearly. Her place was clean and spacious and had wonderfully easy to find amenities. Traveling with kids I so appreciated the plentiful towels, beach towels, beach toys and games for our family vacation!

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!

Home in Oceanside
4.77 out of 5 average rating, 137 reviewsSouth Oceanside Rare Tropical Beach Hideaway
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!

Condo in Carlsbad Village
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 166 reviews#3, Ocean Front Studio by the Beach in Carlsbad
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.

Condo in Oceanside

It’s like if I was staying at my own apartment during our stay ! Had everything I needed inside ready to be used . Thank you guys for making it like home 🫶🏻

Home in Oceanside
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 118 reviews*3 Blocks to Beach w/ Beach Gear, Private Backyard
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.

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.

Home in Point Loma Peninsula
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 295 reviews2018 Cape Cod in Roseville Point Loma
This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had. Traveling with a 4-year-old, cleanliness is my top priority, and Robert’s place exceeded expectations. The location is perfect - quiet despite being near the airport, and within walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, and the pier (even for a young child). Robert was incredibly kind, surprising us with fresh pastries for breakfast. I also appreciated the hassle-free checkout; no list of tasks, as everything is handled by the cleaning crew - a first in my experience. Robert was quick to respond to my concerns about the wildfires, and his reassurance made all the difference. Thanks to him, our San Diego trip was a great success!

Great location, clean, and well equipped. Grocery stores, restaurants, and points of interest are within walking distance. Clean comfortable beddings. Nicely appointed decor. The short walk to the beach in the morning was a great start to each day! We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Home in Oceanside
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 244 reviewsOceanside - 1920s Craftsmen - Large Backyard
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.

Home in Leucadia
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 127 reviewsFabulous Beach Home! Walk to Beach-Guest Favorite!
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!

Home in Del Mar
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 191 reviewsLive the Beach Life in a Quaint Shell Cottage
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. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

This home is a perfect location and walking distance to several things in Oceanside. The whole home was nice and clean upon arrival.

They were really responsive and helpful hosts.

Great place to stay in Southern California. I is a perfect size for our vacation as a couple. Our dog loved the yard too. Really, really a nice place! Dan is a great host and always prompt to answer. We will definitely stay there soon again!

Home in South Oceanside
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 124 reviewsBetty's Beach House with Seascape Cozy Cottage
We had a wonderful time with our family and both sets of grandparents. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when they wanted it, and come together as well. This house felt like we were visiting someone's home, lots of personal details throughout. We had a great time, only wished we could go down to the water past the rocks (but we were too nervous!). We were able to use the fire pit, and play on the beach daily, thank you!
