921 Beach Cottage-Hottest location in San Diego

WilliamRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Cute beach cottage with a fantastic location! Just a couple blocks from the beach, but very quiet and no noise issues. We arrived on a Tuesday, and there happens to be a really nice farmers’ market that was just a half block from the house. Excellent communication from the host at every step of the way!

Golden Sands Bunkhouse #2 Pickleball-Jacuzzi-More!

ChelseaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
What a great find in the desert! Golden Sands was the perfect home-base for our exploration of Anza-Borrego State Park. Easy access to hiking trails and the visitor center. The "cowboy hot tub" was the perfect thing for soaking tired muscles after days of hiking. Sitting out under the stars was the perfect end to the day. The house was clean and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We did some cooking at the house, and the kitchen proved adequate for our needs. I highly recommend this place!

Very charming home and Meghan was a great host. She had recommendations printed, baby gear, and even some beverages for us to enjoy!

Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone, especially families!

Serene getaway with Sunrise views

MeganRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We stayed here for one night for a coworker's wedding. Great location nearby the wedding venue. Super close to all the wineries as well. Clean and beautiful home. Easiest checkout process I've experienced at an Airbnb since you don't have to take out the trash or do any cleaning. Thank you!

Mission Beach Family Paradise. Beach & Bay fun

AnnetteRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Wonderful stay and great hosts! The location was a quiet, safe area yet close to both the bay on one side and the ocean on the other. Short drive to many attractions. The place had everything we needed and more, loved having a full kitchen and the patio was lovely to get a bit more space, fresh air and sunshine. Beds were comfy, normally I’m a terrible sleeper (especially on vacation) and this was not a problem here! We will def be back, thank you Mark!

Pippi's Paradise cottage 1 block to the beach w/AC

ReneeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I loved this cottage, it’s location, and our experience. The exterior: private, behind a wooden fence steps away from the sidewalk, with the cutest succulent garden with some tasteful décor. The interior: meticulously curated vintage and retro-style pieces, always something to look at, I appreciate that it wasn’t an IKEA bulk order but a lot of love and care and personality. And it’s SO clean and doesn’t feel cluttered at all! I loved the round yellow bathroom tile, the kitchen sink, the leather chair and ottoman in the living room. So many gems all around. Katrina was a gem herself!!! My toddler got sick (yuck) in bed the first night, and K came to our rescue the next morning with new linens, completely kindhearted and understanding. Related- the free laundry was a godsend to have with a kid, and to simply not have to pack a ton! And the beach gear, stocked supplies in the cabinets, they thought of everything! ❤️

Your guide to Julian

All About Julian

Located in the Cuyamaca Mountains northeast of San Diego, the small town of Julian was established during the Gold Rush by two Civil War veterans hoping to strike it rich in this lush valley. Before long the gold dried up and they were left with fertile soil, perfect for farming. Today, Julian is well-known for its delicious apples and mouth-watering apple pie, and the area is a popular day-trip destination for San Diegans, who come to visit the apple orchards.

Julian is home to just over 1,500 people, and features a main street lined with locally-owned businesses and art galleries in low-slung buildings from the late 1800s. The town is also located just off of the famous Pacific Crest Trail and is a gateway for the stunning Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Nearby areas provide ample opportunities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Julian

With mild weather year-round, there is no bad time to book a vacation home or cabin in Julian. Summers are the hottest time of the year, but the days are long, giving you plenty of time for outdoor activities like hiking and horseback riding. One of the highlights in summer is Julian’s Fourth of July Parade, which involves a flyover of military training planes, live performances from various marching bands, and a selection of vendors for shopping and eating. During the spring and fall, the temperatures drop a bit and the town comes alive with special events including Gold Rush Days in April, the Julian Grape Stomping Festa in September, and many fall harvest celebrations. While the winters can get a bit chilly, this is the quietest time of the year, when it can feel like you have the hiking trails all to yourself.
