San Marcos Private Garden Cottage
Great place and really nice backyard, great neighborhood

Adorable San Diego Guesthouse
I have never stayed in South Park before. This location was so fun! Lots of little places to walk to. No issues with parking.

Fig Tree Bungalow
This place was great for our quick weekend trip. Definitely worth the price.

Private Family Friendly Casita/Guesthouse
The casita was perfect for my family! It was bigger and even nicer in person. Robert was responsive and friendly. It was very clean, and had everything you need. We would love to stay there again!

Pool Side Guesthouse
Three Oaks was a lovely getaway! It was nice being a bit outside of town, very quiet & peaceful. The host was friendly, attentive & very welcoming. The bed was comfortable, something I have a problem with at most hotels I stay in. Will definitely come back on future visits to the area!

The BEST NEST Clean, peaceful, private, affordable
Love Teri’s place! Feels just like home whenever we stay there. Walking distance to Better Buzz Coffee and Vons for groceries. Everything you need is there for you to make the place feel like home away from home. Teri was a great host too, can’t recommend her enough for anyone wanting to stay in San Diego.

Private 2 bedroom apt in new craftsman ranch!
Decided to do a stay-cation for my best friend's birthday and Jackie's home was absolutely perfect for it. The location is amazing, the property is extremely beautiful and well maintained. We did a wine tour for my friends birthday and all the wineries we went to were just minutes from the Airbnb. The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, the front porch chairs were perfect to sit in and enjoy a glass of wine. The best part was that you feel completely safe. I personally didn't even feel the need to take the house keys when we left. We left the door unlocked which I would never normally do. I really appreciate Jackie's quick responses and also allowing us to drop off one of the cars early so we didn't have to drive multiple cars around to each winery. - if you stay I recommend cordiano winery for a sunset dinner. Thank you again, Jackie! I can't wait to be back.

"Inn Bloom" on Fire Mountain
We truly enjoyed our stay. This place is beautiful, clean, and very well appointed. I cooked many full meals in this kitchen! The hosts are amazing! The property is a perfect retreat! The grounds are beyond gorgeous! We’ve already booked our return! Thank you for sharing your zen.
Guest house rentals with a patio

Studio Neidhart, Adorable 1BR w/pvt. patio & bath.
Great location! It was close to so many restaurants and things to do. I would most definitely book his place again.

Adorable cottage in Talmadge
Another great visit! Convenient location coupled with wonderful amenities, along with Carlos’ hospitality makes this a top choice for us when visiting San Diego to see our son!

La Jolla Oasis: Ocean, City and Fire Works Views
1000/10 ZERO complaints! The views from the patio/front of the house are beautiful. Perfect place to go for runs/walks. My friends and I loved it! We can’t wait to come back in the summer when it’s warm. Back houses are typically not my thing but we never saw or heard anyone. Sometimes you can hear when they’re home because you can hear steps but it’s not loud. The place has everything you need: towels, extra toilet paper, utensils, cups, plates, detergent. We played music on a speaker and laughed day and night, so Sorry Atoosa if my friends and I were loud at all..

Private Garden Guesthouse 9 Miles from LegoLand
Awesome place! Our kids loved it! Lots of games and a beautiful patio. We used the towels, camp chairs and boogie boards that were provided. I have no notes the place was awesome!

Ocean Blue Vista One-Bedroom Private Guest House
Had a lovely stay! Very peaceful, clean, and welcoming. We only stayed one night, but it was just what we needed. Bonus, the fiddle fig plant in living room is gorgeous and thriving! Always a good sign :) 10/10 would recommend, thank you!

New (2022) North Park Abode w/ Roof Deck
BOOK IT! Aesthetically well done, extremely comfortable, perfect location. Really enjoyed my stay here for 5 days. Unit has everything you may need during your stay. Love this neighborhood, so many great restaurants and shops. Parking was always available. Space is squeaky clean and bed is comfy. Next time I’m in SD I will stay here again.

Private Casita on 6-Acres with VIEWS
Jolene and Dane's rental stood out for us. We have lived In Europe and traveled extensively renting all over the world during our journey. Their casita was decorated classy and stylishly...with comfort and convenience in mind. The kitchen was sweet and small w/everything we needed (mainly breakfast.). The TV was like watching our own at home. They thought of every detail to make guests feel ever so comfortable..and ohhh that view. If their calendar allows, we will return. We will return.

Moonrise Cottage at Buena Terra Lavender Farm
We were so grateful to Heidi accommodating our new family of 4 (2 month old baby) on our first trip, especially as our request was last minute. We found the local recommendations very helpful as well as her thoughtful call to make sure the GPS took us the right way. The place was gorgeous and so thoughtfully furnished- every need was anticipated and we were very comfortable. We are sure to return when we're in the area! Thank you Heidi!
Guest house rentals with a washer and dryer

Peaceful, Private, Coastal Retreat
Christine's place is very thoughtfully set up. Great attention to detail and extremely responsive. The unit has a private feeling, at the end of a cul-de-sac and with a private outdoor patio space and BBQ. Bright, clean and comfortable. I am a regular Airbnb user, and its easy to tell when a host has anticipated all needs. Excellent kitchen space which I appreciated and used. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Private Villa walk to beach
It’s was amazing staying a Kim’s guesthouse. Felt very private and peaceful. The birds sounded so beautiful in the morning, we thought it was fake at first. The flowers just outside are beautiful. The beach within walking distance was a perfect place to play, lay out, watch the sunset and surfers. We even saw dolphins one night! Just a magical time. We will definitely come back!

Private Guest House for 2 with Kitchen + Laundry
It was a very nice and cozy place to stay love seeing the cats out 10/10

San Diego Shangri-La
This apartment is great for 2 people to enjoy the San Diego / La Jolla area. We stayed here for a full month. The apartment is very cozy and the hosts are absolutely fantastic! They have an office set up downstairs (in the garage) and work there most weekdays and occasionally on weekends, so you're not in a totally private house (you have your own entrance and space upstairs), but they are close by for questions. As is prevalent in the area our small dog was very welcome in this apartment. If you have a small dog be wary of coyotes that roam the area.

Gorgeous, Quiet, Clean Guest House, Near It All
You feel like you’re at a resort when staying at Zach’s. The landscaping is phenomenal, tall trees, native plants and gorgeous ornamental touches. The house was immaculate, with plenty of towels and all the things necessary to cook. The hot tub was the best way to end our day. As a super host myself, I 100% recommend Zach’s if in Vista.

Pacific Beach Guest House With Garage and A/C
Had a great stay at this Airbnb. hist provided excellent instructions and the space was accurately described in the listing. Was a great basecamp for visiting San Diego friends and exploring the city.

Modern mountain guest house. Incredible views
The Mountain Guest House was a beautiful, comfortable home away from home. It was nice to stay at this Airbnb while vacationing in San Diego. Several great local restaurants are less than 10 minutes away. My dad and I were visiting Shadow Mountain Community Church, which was less than 6 minutes away, which was one of the reasons for choosing to stay here. If I am ever in San Diego again, I will stay here again, if available. Thank you, Bonnie, for being a wonderful host!

Ocean/Lagoon View/New Luxury Casita /Walk To Beach
Joe and Dee Dee were friendly, proactive and communicative hosts. The casita was replete with high end finishes, tastefully decorated and had all the amenities that we could want. It is well located within Carlsbad and we would recommend this to anyone planning a visit to the area.
