Lovely Guesthouse in garden setting
We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

Poolside Ocean View Studio
I was looking for a peaceful and comfortable place to relax and recharge and this fit perfectly. Anita and Brian are great hosts, friendly and helpful but still respected my privacy. The setting is also beautifully landscaped and the deck was great to have for relaxing and enjoying the water view. I can highly recommend.

San Diego Shangri-La
I really enjoyed staying here. It's on a canyon, which provided a great view and a nice breeze and was very quiet. We had our little dog with us and he loved being able to explore the yard. It's a great location in La Jolla / North PB. It's at the top of my list for my next trip to San Diego.

La Casita - Fully Updated Casita in Mission Hills
We felt safe up in the mission hills and at home at the casita! Easy to check in, quiet neighborhood, 15 minutes or less from everything we did and was amazing to come back to after long days!!! Price was great, it was clean and comfy, our space was respected, and the hosts were extremely kind! Will be back the next time we are in San Diego :)

Spacious, private Mt. Helix country style studio
Absolutely worth it. Beautiful place. Cozy with gorgeous gardens. Also a nice welcome touch of bowl of fruits, chocolates and plenty to drink. Loved it.

BEAUTIFUL Private Studio
Thank you, Sean & Summer for being friendly and welcoming hosts. The studio was exactly as pictured and the location was perfect. My husband and I had an amazing trip to SD and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay!

New Guest House - North Park
Lynae’s place was wonderful, as was Lynae! Balboa park right nearby, with gorgeous trails and scenery. Walkable to North Park area which had a fun variety of bars, shops, and restaurants. Lynae was a wonderful host - responsive, kind, flexible - and the home was bright, airy, with gorgeous views. We couldn’t say enough good things about the wall of jasmine walking in. Thank you Lynae for having us in your home!

Beach Rock Retreat - Private Encinitas Guesthouse
A very peaceful and spacious rental for our San Diego trip. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked with everything you need, and the patio and backyard seating area were wonderful extensions of the space to enjoy the gorgeous weather and landscaping. Our super friendly host gave us great recommendations for adventures, restaurants, and neighborhood walks that we really enjoyed. And bonus points for Koa (doggie host) who is the absolute sweetest!

Garden Casita
What welcomes you as you arrive at this place is the smell of flowers! It puts you into a relaxing mood instantly. Pete (the host) was there waiting for my wife and I and walked us into this idyllic corner of the universe. We had a great time while attending a nieces' graduation and visiting with family. Special thanks to Pete as he went out of his way to contact us and return an item we forgot behind when we checked out.

Private 1 BR Paradise retreat
This place exceeded my expectations. Not only is it the best Airbnb I have stayed in, but the description doesnt do this property justice. The owners were so welcoming and hospitable. Great communication, and the extras made it a curated experience for my stay in San Diego. It's 25 mins to the beach by car. It's close to public transportation to get around.. Its minutes from downtown La Mesa. I felt safe, comfortable and relaxed. The amenities made it a special place. I wish I had more time to spend just enjoying the property. Make sure you make time to enjoy this paradise.

Downtown Cottage Minutes to Gaslamp & Petco Park
Jonathan is super friendly & flexible and answered very quickly on questions I had. Everything went very smooth - thank you!

Da Hui Hut - La Mesa’s best view and spa
Beautiful place! The pictures don’t do the view justice and hosts were very accommodating and responsive :) would definitely recommend!

This a amazing place to stay and they are wonderful hosts. We tied the knot and were so happy to be able to celebrate here.❤️ Thank you Zina & Craig

Cozy, Quiet and Private Backyard Studio Escape
My toddler and I stayed at Stephanie's place because of the location, it's private, and it had everything we needed. The space was very thought out as well as the supplies. Bed was very comfortable and the place was just very nice overall - clean and organized. What I really appreciated was that the kitchen came with a cast iron skillet and a cast iron tea kettle (non toxic cookware). Stephanie also welcomed us with two beers in the fridge, although I do not drink, it was very thoughtful. I am a native of San Diego, so this location was ideal for me to all the places I needed to go. Highly recommended :).

Private 1 King Bed, 1 Bath, w Patio
Great house matched the description! Was in walking distance to a lot of great cafes. Parking was easy as well.

La Mesa Suite
Wonderful place to stay with private space in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Lots of restaurants and places to visit close by.

South Mission Beach Zen-Like Studio
Our stay was wonderful! The bungalow is beautifully designed and has everything you need. The location is amazing, and is only steps away from the beach and bay.

Sea Star Cottage
We had a wonderful time at Jeff’s place! Not only was it the perfect location, very easy to find, and located in a super cute neighborhood… it was the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. Would certainly recommend staying here and we’ll hope to stay here again on our next SD trip!

Guesthouse - prime location next to BEACH!
We had a super time - the house is very clean with generous amenities and lots of towels. Very well Organised and a great location. Lauren our host was very responsive and made recommendations for local places to visit and eat.

Rancho Relaxo / Spacious Detached Guest House
my daughter and I stayed at Susie and Britt's poolhouse for 6 nights when we were in the San Diego area for a wedding. At first we thought we would look for a beach rental but then heard that it can be foggy on the coast during May and June and going 5 miles inland can make a big difference with weather. we looked in Rancho Sante Fe because that we where the wedding venue was located and we really hit the jackpot! Everything is just as described- very relaxing times in the jacuzzi and by the fire pit in the evenings. The travel to the surrounding SanDiego sights was super easy. Highly recommend this rental!!!

Fletcher Hills - modern 1 BR.Easy, no step access.
Fantastic views. Very comfortable and inviting. The outside lounging area was excellent. Everything we wanted. This area of San Diego Metro is very beautiful. This looks to be a very safe, quiet and friendly neighborhood. It is centrally located to all of the main attractions.

Indoor/Outdoor Sanctuary in Ocean Beach
The guest house was very comfy and unique, with the feature of the garage door that leads to the backyard being my favorite!

Cozy Coastal Casita
We absolutely loved this place!! It was so cozy, quiet, clean and affordable! She has everything you could possibly need if you happen to forget something, no worries!!! Loved it, we’ll be back!!!
Rockaway North - Family Friendly, Garage Parking & Laundry
We had the best time here! Perfect for my husband and I. You’re SUPER close to the beach and there are lots of great local restaurants to walk too. The home was cozy and clean. We can’t wait to book again.
