Nothing Beats Ocean Front
Without a doubt, this is a great spot if you need some ocean therapy. Wake up, open the shade, and you feel like you’re beaching it within the dwelling. This is very much a classic beach house. To book it is to know that you’re spending your time out on the sand or at the nearby spots, without much expectation for your living space. The patios are really great, and made my trip ideal. The neighbors are also really nice. I’d definitely book again!

The Boho Beachfront Pet-Friendly Palace w/AC
Great location to walk along Bay and short walk to get to beach. Clean and well equipped kitchen, baths, living spaces. Bed was the most comfortable ever!! Covered parking in PB is a plus! Neighbors were friendly and quiet. We enjoyed the shared hot tub. Kostas was helpful and had great suggestions for local dining.

Sky High Luxury Penthouse
Great location. Hope to return one day

Oceanfront View 1 BR Best in Pacific Beach! - 509
It doesn't get much better than this. You can watch the ocean all day from 5 floors up. The unit had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

Modern Sky Oasis in Downtown SD
Great place to stay its right across from the ballpark and very close to all restaurants and nightlife in Gaslamp.

Mission Beach 1 BDRM w/ Large Ocean View Deck 714
Great location. Easy parking (sometimes it’s hard at a beach town to find parking…designated place was appreciated). Clean and cozy dwelling. Plenty of beach toys/amenities too. East communication with host on site. As a single gal I felt safe and comfortable. Will be back in a few months!

Sail Bay Getaway
We loved Diana’s place. Great proximity to Mission Bay for daily walks. The unit was really comfortable. She thought of everything. A great workspace for your computer with dual monitors, super comfy bed, enjoyed the hot tub, plenty of coffee, a fully stocked kitchen, beach chairs and towels and bikes. We would love to come back next year.

Beachfront-Ocean views!-Luxury AC Home on Sand!

Dolphin Views ~ The Edge of the USA, 2-Bed, 1-Bath
Location, location, location! Encinitas and this little bungalow was the highlight of our stay. The views from the living room and deck are breath taking, not to mention the amazing sunsets. Insider tip: the moon sets are equally impressive. Brooke was a 5 star host. Would recommend anytime!

Bay View Beach House - Coastal Retreat
Michael was a great host. I really appreciated the opportunity to check in early even though it didn’t work out. I also appreciated the fast and efficient communication. The house was perfect for our stay. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again for your hospitality!

3bd Beach House A Strand of Paradise
Came here for our family Spring Break get away! We all had a wonderful time! The view is way better in person and the waves crashing at night meant a peaceful nights sleep! Highly recommend for families or group getaways! Fully stocked kitchen was an added bonus!

San Diego Beachfront House 60s to sand, surf, pier
Mike was awesome. My family and I are from near Pasadena CA. Mike was awesome in making us feel welcomed in lieu of the unfortunate fires in LA county. His house was beautiful. The view of the ocean was exactly what we wanted. As a plus, the spot was near a brewery (walking distance) where they had amazing coffee and food. We were also about 20 mins from downtown, and a short drive to nearby stores like Costco and Target. Thanks Mike for everything!

3 Levels Of Bay Views! With NEW Updated Baths!
We had an incredible stay at Cindy's place during the week of our daughter's wedding. The location was absolutely ideal—close to fantastic restaurants, shopping, both the ocean and bay boardwalks, and offering breathtaking views of the bay. The house itself was beautifully designed, with a spacious and thoughtful layout that accommodated our family comfortably and provided plenty of room for all the wedding preparations. One of the standout features was the truly wonderful view from all three levels of the home. Every family member had full access to the stunning bay scenery, and waking up to the sunrise each morning was simply magical. Every detail contributed to a truly memorable experience, making our daughter's special week even more magical. This home was instrumental in creating an unforgettable celebration, and truly was the icing on the wedding cake! We can’t recommend it enough.

Ocean Breeze with ease, near Carlsbad Village
Great place to stay at. In walking distance of the beach, and Carlsbad Village. Great place for a weekend getaway. Quiet neighborhood.

Stunning Beach House! 2 Tubs & Outdoor Shower New!
Stayed here for our anniversary with our pup and enjoyed every moment from check in to check out. Place was insanely clean and we really enjoyed the outdoor amenities. It’s in the perfect location with the beach and tons of restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. 10/10 stay and would definitely book again. Thank you Ricardo !

Ocean front condo heart of pacific beach
Great apartment. The view was worth every penny. So beautiful and peaceful. Would definitely return.

#3, Ocean Front Studio by the Beach in Carlsbad
We loved being so close to the beach and so close to Carlsbad Village; once we parked our car we walked everywhere. So nice to have designated parking, too. The place was very nice, queen bed super comfortable. The pullout bed was not as comfortable, but after layering the sofa seat cushions on the 2nd night it was much better. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was fully stocked, bedding and towels were high quality. We would definitely choose this unit again. We found it remarkably quiet despite being so close to everything. The team at Sea Breeze is VERY responsive, but even with that we had a couple of questions that never got answered. That did not impact our enjoyment. We walked to State Street and had an amazing breakfast at Wildland followed by some good boutique shopping, then ice cream at Handels; a great rooftop dinner during happy hour at Fresco, and the rest of the time we stayed right on our deck or on the beach at Sea Breeze. Can’t wait to do it again!

Bayfront Beach Condo on Boardwalk + King Master
The place at Mission Beach was cozy and comfortable for a family of three. We settled right in and the hosts were friendly and responsive when we communicated with them. Great location as well with tons of things to do for kids of all ages.

One Bedroom Ocean Front Condo!
This was a great location, we loved being right on the beach and the walking path. The apartment was easy to access and had everything we needed, including walkable restaurants and parking. Tina was responsive, and helped us to find everything we needed.

Beach Front Across From Sand 3 BR 2 BA + 2 Parking
We stayed here in 2024 and loved it so much that we came back! The hosts, place itself and location were all awesome! Loved watching the sunset from the porch and walking into town for fish tacos or the Wednesday market. Also enjoyed running along the path by the water while my husband surfed. Thanks so much, we can't wait to return!

Luxury Oceanfront Condo with Unbelievable Views
Jennifer was extremely helpful. The place was very nice and comfortable. It was nice to listen to the ocean as we sat in the condo also. Thank you 😊

Endless Views oceanfront luxury condo private deck
Fantastic place! Amazing views and great location. Thanks for the hospitality.

Ocean Front Mission Beach Penthouse!
Perfect location whether you are active or inactive. My 84 yr old husband and I were grateful for the elevator and the amazing views from anywhere in the Condo. He could sit on the couch & watch the surfing schools, the families on the beach & those strolling along the cement pathway below, while I could get out & strech my legs & be part of the beach scene. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance, even for my husband who used a cane. Kitchen has everything you need if you want to eat in for some meals. Gated parking & elevator are game changers for anyone wanting to enjoy this area! Perfect for families or old folks like us! Host is an amazing, communicator with helpful suggestions. Highly recommend!
