Anna’s modern & private San Diego guest studio!
Anna was a phenomenal host for my short stay in San Diego. She was very responsive and kind! Her home was nice and quaint with all the items of everything you may have at home (iron, kitchenware, toiletries etc.) I would definitely stay again when I come back to visit San Diego!

South O Retreat - Steps to Beach & Local Vibes
Spotless and very comfortable place that looks exactly like the pictures. Very comfortable beds and linens and we loved hanging out on the back patio enjoying the cool evenings. The Keurig was a plus. We walked to the ocean a couple of times but to go swimming at the main beach we opted to drive. We loved Aja's place and can't wait to come back!

Cute, clean private studio. Close to the beach!
We had a great stay! Dave and Sharon are wonderful hosts who helped us with lots of tips. Communication was very quick and easy. We can recommend the apartment and would definitely come back.

Beach Apartment near Oceanside Pier
Place was wonderful. Check in was ok. Directions was confusing around the place and map was not to helpful at all. Steven was great w/ communication.

Studio Oceanview King in Beachfront Apt (207)
Great stay at Marabella! The views were stunning from our room! Located right on the water, walking distance from many shops and restaurants. The patio was nice and grounds were well kept and clean. The beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and outdoor shower was definitely appreciated. It was perfect!

Seaview Sunset - Close to beaches & restaurants!
We stayed at Christie’s apartment for two stays during a one week trip. Both stays were overall pleasant . Very nice view from the front balcony where you are able to see both the ocean and sunset, you are also able to hear the waves crash at night. Nice interior with plenty of space for two remote workers. Nice coffee shops within a walkable distance for lunch breaks and just a 5 minute walk to the beach. There were also many great restaurants within a few minutes drive of the apartment and a mall in Carlsbad 15 minutes away with many retailers. The only issue I ran into with our stays is one neighbor two houses down was rather hostile towards parking near her property, although it’s public street parking. Overall, I would stay again, I would just make it a point to park on the other side of the road.

Relaxing Private Condo in La Costa, Carlsbad
I loved the location, we could walk to coffee in the morning. A few great food options are close. The kitchen was fully equipped for anyone wanting to cook, we didn't because the food choices were too good in the area.

Cozy Studio (unit 7), Just Steps From The Sand!
Lovely host. Perfect for walking around and you can literally see the ocean out of your window in unit 8. At night we fell asleep to the sound of the ocean. Very easy.
House rentals with beach access

Spacious Beach Residence w Backyard Pond & Hot Tub
Alexander's place was the perfect California get away for our family vacation! The location was awesome just a short walk from the beach. The backyard was so big for California and great for our dogs. It had a lot of seating and a hot tub which was perfect! Alexander was very responsive throughout our stay. There is a train right behind the Airbnb that used it's horn loudly multiple times a day and until about 11 which was very clearly listed in the listing but if you are sensitive to noise it might bother you. We had no issues with the train.

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!

South Oceanside 1 Bedroom 1/2 Mile to Beach
We had a great stay at Mark's place! It was clean and tidy, and had everything we would need. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, measuring spoons, etc. The shower pressure was delightful, and the couch was comfy. The bed was a bit soft, which one of us loved and the other one didn't, so depends on your preferences. The neighborhood was great, we felt super safe wherever we went, and we could walk to restaurants and the beach. Would recommend Mark's place!

The Seaford - sweeping ocean view and pet friendly
We had a dreamy 2-night stay at Lisa's place to celebrate our anniversary! Lisa and Menotti kindly allowed us to bring both our dog and cat, and it could not have been a more beautiful and comfortable place for us all. The location is outstanding -- about a 10-min walk to the beach and near a great grocery store (Cardiff Seaside Market). We loved watching sunset on the balcony and cooking at home just to enjoy the space. Thoughtful touches like the beach chairs and towels were much appreciated. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Outstanding Ocean Oasis ❊ Modern, Family Fun Home
We had a wonderful stay at this kid-friendly Airbnb! The house was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a smooth and fun trip with little ones — beach toys, a stroller, and even outdoor mini golf! It made our park visits and beach days so much easier and more enjoyable. The home itself was beautifully decorated and perfectly matched our taste — we honestly joked that we wished we could live there! Every detail added to the comfort and charm of our stay. The host was incredibly helpful and accommodating of our needs, and the location was ideal — close to all the San Diego attractions we had planned to visit. This was one of our best Airbnb experiences, and we’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend for families visiting San Diego.

Ultimate beach bungalow- big yard- 1 blk to beach
We had a great time! The location is amazing, very close to the beach and to restaurants and shops! We loved the Dutch door and backyard!

Gorgeous mid century modern home near beach
Fantastic home, location, and host. We will definitely be back! Truly loved this experience.

Resort-Style Beach House on Pacific Coast Highway 101
After a slight miscommunication at check in which Tamar quickly took care of, the stay was great! The location is perfect, though pulling out of the driveway can be a bit challenging with traffic at times. The house is decorated beautifully. One minute walk to the beach across the street. Loved it and would definitely stay here again.
Condo rentals with beach access

Upscale condo with Rooftop Deck & Ocean View!
Had an amazing experience. The view from this location is incredible. The place was spacious, clean, and felt like home. The host met us at gate and was extremely friendly and helpful and recommended great places for us to do in the area. Just an amazing place to experience!!!!!!!

The Sunshine House. Location, Location, Ocean.
Me and my girlfriend had a great stay. We would definitely stay again and it’s a great little place to stay at very cozy. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone. Very close to the beach and many restaurants.

Steps to Beach, Short walk to Village B Unit
The unit is exactly as described. It is easy to get to, has covered parking, is across the street from the beach and walkable to town. We liked that it is one condo away from the Main Street because it made things very quiet. The unit has what you need plus beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and toys. Nice plus. Another reviewer mentioned to bring hangers so I did. I would suggest if you like reading in bed to bring some sort of head or neck lamp. There is overhead lighting with fans in bedroom & main room - with dimmers - great plus except maybe for reading. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to book again!

Steps From Beach, Panoramic Ocean Views, W Parking
Definitely somewhere I would book for another stay! Nice little get away only step from the beach my fiancé and I spent every night once home with the windows open to hear the crashing waves and would just hangout on the balcony enjoying every minute of peaceful bliss!

Breathtaking Views-Steps to Sand, Beach Resort
Our stay at Just Beachy totally exceeded our expectations. It was perfection! Lorraine is an incredible host thanks to her responsiveness, kindness, and hospitality. The condo was so well decorated; you could tell Lorraine paid attention to every little detail, down to the paint colour…very serene. The complex itself is truly amazing, we enjoyed many of the amenities on both sides. And then there is the view…WOW! Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves was so relaxing (and the bed is SUPER comfy). I highly recommend this condo and Lorraine! We can’t wait to come back! ❤️

Ocean Views from Patio on the Pacific!
Ms.Sandy provided a very welcoming AirBnB rental to relax and decompress in. From her initial inactions, she was extremely helpful with detailed instructions and helpful suggestions. As a bonus, the HOA also offered recommendations on places locally to dine at and entertainment. It’s the combination of these two that make for an enjoyable experience. Ms. Sandy’s place is clean and features 2 smart tvs for your entertainment pleasure. Just remember to log out of your streaming service before checking out. If you need a bit of fresh air, the beach is close by, along with the harbor with eateries and entertainment. Or just walk around the compound and enjoy the various water features and koi pond. For you golfers, bring your putter and enjoy the putting green. There’s also a swimming pool and gym, however the beach is just minutes away. You can definitely put your trust in Ms. Sandy for a very enjoyable experience.

Ocean Views, Rooftop Deck & 1 Block to Everything!
Great location. Walkable to the beach, restaurants and shops. They had a wagon which was clutch to help transport beach necessities to and from without issue. Loved the rooftop space to hang out and unwind. Train wasn’t an issue, barely heard it when we were inside. Area was great for a quick getaway. Super responsive and got any issues taken care of right away. Everyone had tons of relaxing fun in the sun.

Robyns Resort Nest & Spa Wash/Dryer
We really enjoyed staying at Robyn’s condo! It is in a nice spot close to the beach and there is a beautiful view from the balcony. It was great to be able to access the hot tub and pool, we had it to ourselves both nights! Robyn was very responsive and helpful, we definitely recommend staying here.
