Studio Condo at Wave Crest Resort
Clean, relaxing and right on the ocean! We LOVED our stay and would love to come back again. Great communication and staff too!

Beach Getaway! *Building Construction Discount !*
what a wonderful place to stay. Great sunsets and walks on the beach. Great way to relax. The host communicated well with us and got us where we needed to be going. their response time was amazing, we appreciate that. We will come back again next time we are visiting my dad. Thanks again for making our trip much easier.

One Bedroom Ocean Front Condo!
The apartment was so close to all the restaurants and easy to get to anywhere within around 15 minutes drive. Tina was an amazing host and on hand to answer any questions.

Karol’s apartment with 3 pools & jacuzzi Seaview
Beautiful place, has ocean view. The home decor is amazing. Clean house for sure.

Enchanted Ocean Sunsets
Such an amazing place! My husband and I have been meeting up with our friends for 6 years now and this is the first time a kid has joined us. My son loved the beach and it was so nice to be so close and to have our own space but to also be able to walk to restaurants and things around. Kiran was so kind and was able to answer any questions we had very quick. We’ve already talked about going again!!

The Endless Summer Condo!
Awesome place on the beach! Being able to open the screen doors to feel the breeze and hear the ocean made us excited to come back from exploring the area. Easy to get to the car in/out when needed. Beach access directly at the bottom of the apartment, using all the provided beach accessories Nick provided in the well equipped apartment. Plenty of bars and restaurants walkable, or even stores to grab a bottle of wine to stay in. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and I would definitely book again for our next San Diego trip.

REJUVENATE @Ocean123 *Available Now,Just Send Msg*
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The location was stunning, with ocean views and the soothing sound of the waves—it was the perfect place to relax after a day out. There were several great restaurants within walking distance, and we loved being able to grab snacks from the nearby Oxxo, just a short 5-minute walk away. The host was very accommodating, allowing us an early check-in, which we really appreciated. Security at the front was helpful and friendly—they assigned us a parking space and made it easy to find the building. We did experience a couple of minor issues: the shower wasn’t draining properly, and on the third day, the door wouldn't lock. The host responded quickly to our messages, but unfortunately, no one showed up after we waited about an hour. However, the issue was resolved while we were out, so everything was fine when we returned. Despite those small hiccups, we had a lovely time and would definitely consider staying here again. The view and loca

Ocean front - Incredible view - great location
We have stayed in many airbnb all over the world and this place, by far, is the most complete in amenities. It had everything you need and then some. We spent a lot of time just watching the view. This place is a gem.

The Sunset Palace - A True Beachfront Oasis
This place is amazing and Rusty is the best host I’ve ever had with Air BnB. The home is beautiful, clean and in a great location. We came for a long weekend and will definitely be back.

Bay View Beach House - Coastal Retreat
Location, location, location. Michael’s home is where you want to be. Less than a block to the bay and a short beautiful block to walk to the ocean. The beds were so comfortable after a long day at the beach. The showers were great and never ran out of hot water. As a family of six, we found the space spacious yet homey. It was our first time to San Diego and we hope to stay here again, hopefully for two weeks next time. Thank you, Michael!

1 Block to Beach, Dog Friendly, Oceanfront Patio!
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.

Mid-Century Modern 1BR/1BA Beach Apartment
A Perfect San Diego Coastal Getaway! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Carl's beach home in the Pacific/Mission Beach area, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charming beach cottage. The decor is super cute, combining cozy beach vibes with modern comforts, making it feel like a home away from home. The location couldn't be better! Just a short stroll from the beach, we enjoyed daily walks along the shore and stunning sunsets. The nearby restaurants and shops added to the convenience, making it easy to explore the local scene. Carl was an exceptional host, providing us with all the information we needed for a smooth stay. The cottage was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. If you're looking for a perfect beach getaway, I highly recommend Carl’s beach home. We can’t wait to return! Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

North Mission Beach w/AC, Parking, Ocean View Deck
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful studio just steps from the beach—only about 15 feet away! The space is well-equipped with plenty of amenities and surrounded by family-friendly activities. It’s perfect for a family of four, especially with young children. The studio includes a pack and play and high chair, which made traveling with our toddlers so much easier. Everything was very clean and peaceful, and having a washer and dryer was a huge plus. Ginger was kind, helpful, and very responsive. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

Lilas Ocean Beach Villa
We had a great stay at Tina’s Place ! The location was ideal for getting around ! There was 11 people in our group ages 2-70 and we were very comfortable! We were able to walk to the beach ( about -10 minutes) as well as to restaurants, shops , bars, etc. the house was central enough to make a short drive to La Jolla, Coronado , Point Loma and of course downtown. In about 20 minutes. The beds were comfy and the backyard was spacious for kids to runaround ! We would definitely air bb again

Modern Oceanview Penthouse
The place was very clean, easy to find, and in a great location. Host was always proactive and gave clear instructions for check in and check out.

2 Bedroom Beach Cottage - Literally Steps to Sand
We had a wonderful stay. We loved being a very short walk from the beach and only 15 minutes to the airport. The house was well-equipped and very clean. We appreciated having sufficient linens, beach accessories, and kitchen appliances, dishes and cookware. The kids loved the games and the boogie boards. The private patio and front deck were great spaces to dine and relax. The owner was very responsive and responded immediately to our messages. Next time, we will stay longer to explore the shops and restaurants nearby.

One Block From the Beach! La Jolla Cove Gem!
Awesome location! Right by La Jolla waters. Only a 3 min walk! Looks just like the pictures. Host is super responsive. Definitely would stay again!

Mission Beach Paradise with Sweeping Ocean Views
This is my second time staying at this location, it’s absolutely my favorite! Right across from Pacific Beach and in walking distance from lots of great restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a beachfront experience. The area feels safe and clean, you can see San Diego City takes care of this beach daily. As for the Air BnB itself: very clean, bathroom is spotless & kitchen is stocked with cooking utensils. It had everything we needed! Can’t wait to stay again sometime!

Beachfront House w/Views of Downtown San Diego
BEAUTIFUL location. Home had everything we could need, washer and dryer all kitchen appliances and utensils . Loved watching the ocean through the big picture window everyday, and going out to collect seashells and sand dollars every morning. The house could definitely use some tlc, front patio groomed, some pictures on the wall, ( just my opinion, I would have fun decorating with a beach theme) house was clean but could definitely use a deep clean , backs of doors , window seals , around fridge (again just my opinion, as I used to have a cleaning business) They need curtains or blinds in the living room , as the lights from the building next door make it look like daytime in the middle of the night. I would still give this home a 10 out of 10, but would be even better with a few updates!

Bay Front, On the Sand, with garage
This IS the place to stay on Mission Beach. We have rented quite a few places there over the years and this one was THE BEST! Perfect location, beautiful interior, clean, modern, convenient. We will definitely be back and will recommend to other Zonies!

South Beach 4 | Oceanfront 2BR in Mission Beach
Super responsive host with good instructions and communication all the way along.

Don't Worry, Beach Happy!
Fantastic location, right on the beach 3rd floor. Love the Condo. Plenty of room. Swathi is a fantastic host. Everything is in walking distance.

Luxe Oceanfront w/ HotTub | Icon of Mission Beach
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The location is absolutely perfect—right on Mission Beach with beautiful views and just steps from the sand. The home itself was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with multiple balconies and a front deck that made relaxing easy and enjoyable. The hot tub was a great bonus—nice, clean, and perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The garage was definitely a tight squeeze, but our car fit. The home was well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We did have an issue with the fridge and freezer not cooling properly, but the host responded quickly and sent someone right away to repair, which we really appreciated.

Your apartment unit, minutes away from the beach
The unit was extremely nice, everything appeared brand new and was very clean. The beds were very comfortable and Christian himself was very kind whenever we crossed paths. I honestly have nothing negative to say about this, it was a very nice experience for my first time using Airbnb, 10/10 would definitely stay here again.
