Swanky Casa Ocean Beach 1 Blk to Beach w A/C

LeslieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Absolutely loved stay at Joshua’s bungalow! It is cute & beautiful, clean, perfect location, patios are lush. It was great for our group! Notes- know youre in the war zone, it’s not that bad to us, and worth it, quiets down at like 10. Know this is a jack & jill arrangement with pocket doors- be sure youre close with your bunk mates, if you know what im saying! Also note youre in San Diego beachside- it can be rainy/misty in the mornings- the patio furniture can get wet- dont forget to wipe down! Plenty of towels. The beach is a block or so, the main drag is also a block or so- all the restaurants and shopping you can imagine! So nice to be right in the middle of it all. We had an absolute blast! Definitely will be returning soon (:

Charming Coastal Cottage Windansea Beach Walkable

HannahRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We had an absolutely perfect stay! The home was cozy, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stocked—perfect for our little family getaway. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the neighborhood was quiet and lovely, and everything about the space made us feel right at home. There were even board games for our entire family to enjoy! Meghan was a truly amazing host! She was so warm, welcoming, and responsive. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Our kids had the best time and have been asking when we can go back already! We’re so grateful for the memories made here and would return in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place had stunning views and was perfectly private, making it a peaceful retreat. The location was ideal—close to everything but still felt tucked away. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and the kitchen and bathrooms were modern, clean, and well-equipped. The surrounding area was beautiful and added to the relaxing vibe. Would definitely stay here again!

Modern Beach home minutes to the Beach & the bay.

HaleyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This location was so great especially traveling with little kids. We walked the boardwalk every day. Mission Beach and Bonita Cove are 5 min walks. Belmont Park is even closer. Yummy restaurants. Unit was great. It’s showing some wear from being a rental property. AC in primary smelled a little musty but maybe that’s because it’s so close to the ocean? The retractable doors off the living room and primary were awesome. We enjoyed all the outdoor spaces. You can see the ocean from all of them. We had a great time. Garage doesn’t have a door that closes to the alley so you can’t leave items like beach gear or strollers wagons but we found a place to store them. So many walkable things very close. Location is hard to beat.

It's small but has everything we needed. Especially the toddler bed provided saved us huge. Even when our toddler had a tantrum we found a book for baby on the shelf that helped. The garage is absolutely a huge need for this area as parking is really hard to find.

Rosarito 5 BR Beach Home 10 Mins to Papas & Beers

CeciliaRating, 5 stars35 months ago
This place was perfect for our big group! Enough beds, living space, hangout areas, and beach is pretty close by. We had an amazing time and our host was responsive. Only two things were there were lots of ants and the master shower didn’t work. We notified the host but we really didn’t mind since there were two other showers. Also the house is fairly close to downtown Rosarito! This place was really great and I would definitely stay again. Also important to note that the roads in the community are cobblestone and are hard to walk in heels.

.:The Beach Hive:. Downtown Encinitas

KelseyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Loved our staycation at this adorable beach house! Location could not have been better - just a couple blocks from beach access and also super close to restaurants, shops and bars. The house is very cute and was just the right size for our little family of four. The kitchen is well stocked including a French press and keurig. It was also nice having both a front and back yard. Our dog and toddler both thoroughly enjoyed this protected outdoor space. Hosts are also fantastic and were incredibly responsive and generous, including when we embarrassingly locked ourselves out of the house. Highly recommend and would book again!

NickRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Maria was an amazing host and so responsive! The home and rooms were as advertised and shown with comfortable furniture and sleeping options. The chair that pulls out as a bed was even more comfortable than it may look in the pictures - my adult daughter loved it! The beds were very comfortable and having 2 full bathrooms was very helpful. Everything in La Jolla was walkable and Maria gave us impeccable recommendations. The Promiscuous Fork is NOT to be missed. GREAT location, just a couple blocks from the ocean. The outdoor space was also a nice area to hang out in and included a gas, tabletop fireplace. We plan to stay there again!!

Oceanfront Home, 1 Block to Beach, Private Patio!

NikkoRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Georgie’s airbnb is beautiful and in a great location in Ocean Beach. There’s plenty to do nearby and easy to walk to. We had some trouble sleeping due to noise from airplanes, but this has less to do with Georgie’s Airbnb specifically and more to do with the proximity to the airport.

Live the Beach Life in a Quaint Shell Cottage

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.

Casa Del Oceano, Solana Beach

MarciaRating, 5 stars9 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.

Pacific Beach Bungalow - Steps from Mission Bay!

AmyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great stay at Erik's place . The house is very clean and exactly as described. Comfortable beds and plenty of space for two adults. It's in a great location - easy walking distance to a few great restaurants, awesome coffee shop and a liquor store. The bay is just a short 2 blocks away. We had trouble opening the lock on the shed (to access the bikes) and Erik responded right away. We also accidentally broke the shower head during our visit and Erik was super kind and understanding. Will definitely rent this house again!

Your guide to Imperial Beach

All About Imperial Beach

Just over the US-Mexico border in San Diego’s South Bay, Imperial Beach is home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Southern California, four miles of golden sand offset by a long, wooden pier — the perfect place for surfing, horseback riding, and fishing. In fact, the beach is so close to Mexico that you can see Tijuana from the 1,500-foot-long pier. Hispanic culture looms large in Imperial Beach, with Mexican grocers, bakeries, and some of the best authentic Mexican food in San Diego County.

Along the city’s waterfront, you’ll find Dunes Park, featuring public art, a playground, and great views of the pier jutting out into the ocean. While there, head to the Plaza to see the humorously named Surfhenge, Imperial Beach’s colorful version of the famous British landmark. There is a great variety of mom-and-pop eateries lining the beach where you can grab lunch and dinner or an ice cream cone to take with you on a sunset stroll on the sand.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Imperial Beach

Thanks to the beautiful southern California climate, Imperial Beach has dry, temperate weather all year round, making any time a good time to secure an Imperial Beach vacation rental. Summers offer hot, sunny days that are perfect for enjoying the beach and estuary. In August, the city hosts the Sun & Sea Festival, which showcases sandcastle art made by some of the best sculptors in the world, and includes community parades, farmer’s markets, and international food fairs. Spring and fall are nice times to visit as the summer crowds have gone home, and you may find yourself exploring Imperial Beach all on your own. It gets quiet during the winter, and although it’s still possible to paddleboard and kayak, you may want to put on a wetsuit as the ocean can be chilly.


Top things to do in Imperial Beach

Tijuana River National Estuary

Located at the meeting point between the freshwater Tijuana River and the Pacific Ocean, this estuary is one of the largest saltwater marshes in Southern California. The reserve is one of the best places to view endangered birds as it is home to a whopping 370 species. While here, you can also take a walk along the accessible North and South McCoy Trails.

The Imperial Beach Pier

With sweeping views of the Los Coronado Islands and the sparkling Pacific Ocean, the Imperial Beach Pier is one of the best places in the city to go for an evening stroll or watch the sunset. Anglers are known to cast off the side of the pier for corbina, croaker, or even halibut.

Silver Strand State Beach

This seven-mile-long isthmus lies between San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean connecting Imperial Beach to Coronado Island. It is a fantastic spot for swimming, kayaking, and surfing from its isolated, shell-covered beaches, and for biking; the beach lies along the 24-mile long Bayshore Bikeway.
