Southern California Luxury in Quiet Neighborhood
This is one of the most well thought out homes I’ve ever stayed at globally. The home is stunning and so well designed, even more beautiful than the photos. We loved how the pool was next to the master bedroom. This home has everything you need and more. Would love to stay agin!

Oceanside Outdoor Dream with pool , spa, and BBQ
My 2 colleagues and myself stayed here for a total of 8 nights as we were in town for a conference. It was brilliant and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend Oceanside and this property .

La Jolla Beach House-Family Focused-3min to Beach
We had a fantastic week in La Jolla! John’s place was charming, spotless, and perfect for our family. The home was well-stocked with thoughtful amenities—including beach gear—and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The location is unbeatable: a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood within a few minutes walking distance to the beach, great restaurants, coffee shops, and more. John was a friendly and responsive host who made everything easy from start to finish. Honestly could not have asked for a better host. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing, convenient stay in La Jolla. We’d love to come back!

Sunny Carlsbad Home I Walk to Beach w/ Heated Pool
Great place! Especially if traveling with kids. Very clean and has all the comforts of home. The yard is a bonus for letting little ones play. Mari was helpful and accommodating and easy to communicate with. My family was actually set to stay at another one of their properties but at the last minute, (and due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control), we were unable to stay at the original booking. But Mari was quick to reach out to me and was very helpful at getting us booked at another location. Definitely recommend and would stay again!

Casa Del Oceano, Solana Beach
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.

Mountain Top Getaway w/ Pool & Hot tub
Great peaceful location perfect for our size of family. Parking is a little tricky with four cars but manageable. Loved the view and landscaping. We felt very safe and at home in this place. Thank you for memories.

Secluded Resort View Home. Salt Water Pool & Spa.
Had a great Time. House is beautiful and the view was outstanding. We loved listening to and seeing the wildlife and birds. The Beds were very comfortable. The Kitchen was well supplied, plenty of dish ware, cups, bowls etc. The Pool table kept us all entertained. We loved having a TV in every room, the 83 in was nice and big. Plenty of seating for meals and for watching TV. The Pool was nice and big, and spa seat us all and got plenty warm enough was a little hard to get in and out of the Pool and Spa with no rails but otherwise great, even saw the owl fly into his home. Overall Fantastic defiantly a 5 Star

Ocean View Poolside Retreat
We had a fantastic time! The property was beautiful. Everything was exactly as described and just like the photos. The gorgeous view was an added surprise. The house is private and very close to everything! Daniel was always quick to respond and very friendly!

Surfing! Ocean views!- Cardiff Surfer's Hideaway
The place was clean, fun and comfortable. Great views too. I would recommend.

Gorgeous Farmhouse Style Guest House with Private
We absolutely loved our stay here in Solana Beach - we felt completely at home and wish we could have stayed a few more weeks to just relax and enjoy the amazing weather. The unit had everything we needed. It's a beautiful and peaceful space. The neighborhood is also every nice, and walkable, though you'd probably want to drive to Solana Beach and Del Ray. We would definitely stay here again!

Luxury Oceanside Hideout! Kid/dog friendly!
This airbnb was conveniently located and was as advertised. Place was clean and the check-in process was seamless. Would definitely check out other Wander locations in the future.

Cardiff New Build | Duplex Unit | Hot Tub | AC
Exceptional Stay at The Drift House! Our stay at The Drift House was nothing short of perfection. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how beautiful and immaculate the house was. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and it was by far one of the most well-stocked homes we've ever stayed at. The kitchen, laundry and Beach Goodies had everything we could possibly need, and more, making it easy to feel right at home. The location is unbeatable, with serene walks to the beach just a stone's throw away. We spent our mornings enjoying the peaceful strolls and our evenings relaxing in the beautifully appointed living spaces. The Drift House truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We can't recommend this place enough—it's a slice of paradise, and we can't wait to return!

Peaceful home with amazing 1/4 acre yard.
The house was just what my family needed. The inside and outside of the house gave us the rest and break that we needed after a long day. Olivia was wonderful and was on top of it with all the little details and was very responsive. Thank you and we will definitely be back!

Zen OceanView Home w/ Rooftop Dining!
Our group of 6 had an amazing time at this gorgeous historic home! The unique details and rooftop views were so impressive, and the location was perfect—close to great restaurants like The Waverly. Check-in was easy with the keypad lock and host was highly communicative and instructions were easy to follow. Highly recommend this beautiful spot for a memorable stay!

Ranch+Coast Townhome, 5min to Shops 10min to Beach
Haven House will definitely be on repeat for us! Julie was so helpful from start to finish. The house was so clean and very well stocked. Location was a plus for us as it was close to our family. Highly recommend Haven House for anyone wanting a great stay in Encinitas!

Coastal Garden Retreat w/70’s Playhouse
We loved our stay in this beautiful home. It was immaculately clean and we immediately felt at home due to the many thoughtful touches. The hosts were incredibly considerate and really helped ensure we had the best stay, going above and beyond to accommodate our young family! The kitchen is a chef’s dream and the yard a spot of paradise. We couldn’t recommend this home enough. It was absolutely fantastic! We hope to come back someday soon!

Encinitas Bliss: Coastal Poolside Villa Retreat
Beautiful renovated home with high end amenities. Great outdoor space, huge indoor space and located close to shops. Beach is also very short drive from the house. Host was excellent and prepared for visitors with instructions for everything in the house. We had a great time!

Neptune Hidden Gem
Sandra's place is a dream location - right on Neptune with views of the beach, we woke up every morning to calm ocean sounds and a bright airy home that had everything you'd want for a holiday weekend - grill, fire pit, outdoor seating with string lights. Would definitely book this place again!
