Comfy Cottage Near the Beach
We had to find a place to stay with our 2 little dogs last min, we found this Airbnb and had the best experience! Erik was so friendly and gave us plenty of local recommendations and wanted to make sure we had a great time and were happy and comfortable! Everything was clean and well taken care of, our bed was super comfortable and our doggies felt right at home! We will definitely be staying here again in the future! Thank you Erik for everything!

Impeccable & private: cozy KING BEDS, sweet Patio
2nd stay at this home. We absolutely love the team and the homes they offer. If you’re anywhere in the San Diego area this is where you start.

Contemporary Family-Friendly Home in SD with EV&AC
We went with our elderly parents and two young children. The place was perfect, clean, and accommodating. Really great for little kids, and we didn’t have to bring a high chair or pack and play. Made travel easier on us. Ken was a great host and very responsive. We would love to stay there again in the future.

Steps To Beach! Family Friendly-Remote Office-Fire
The place was perfect for our family which included a 22 month old. The hosts thought of everything one could need! Used the stroller everyday to walk to the beach boardwalk just down the walkway and to Bay boardwalk just across the street. Super clean, comfortable and one of the top AirBnBs we’ve stayed in. Highly recommend!!

4Bed Corp Rental for Families, Work Teams
The host was incredibly responsive and quickly took care of any issues that arose, making sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. The backyard was a highlight—serene, peaceful, and beautifully landscaped. The value for the price was definitely worth it, and we'd highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Classic 3/1 beach house, half block to beach
We had a great stay at this place. Great food, very clean and organized space, and very responsive hosts.

Family-Friendly, 3 BR Charming Home
Great place with family and dog, would definitely recommend. Very comfortable and spacious, loved the backyard fenced in. Very clean. Nice park 2 blocks away with playground and space to play with dogs. Easy access to freeway everywhere. Rachel was very accesible.

Central location - 3br/2ba. Clean and comfortable.
Fantastic Stay! I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The home was incredibly clean and cozy, providing a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. It felt just like home from the moment I walked in. Everything was exactly as described in the listing, with no surprises—just exactly what I was hoping for. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure I had everything I needed . The location was also ideal—close to everything I wanted to explore. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!
Kid-friendly apartment rentals

21-3A: Downtown Adjacent Apt w/views from balcony
Kevin's place was quiet and peaceful . It's a little smaller than I thought, but it was clear that Kevin put a lot of care into keeping the place clean and comfortable.

Cozy remodeled 2 bed apt in Point Loma
What a terrific Point Loma location, easy to commute to anything you wanted to do. The home was clean and had a lovely patio area for soaking in some sun.

Everything you need steps to bay patio bikes pking
Lovely place, we had a wonderful time!

Private 2BD Apt + 1Min to Beach + Parking
Excellent hosts who were proactive in making sure we (4 of us)had everything we needed during our 5 day stay to visit son's family ! Tony brought a welcome tray with variety of snacks & drinks, besides those in the refrig...so very thoughtful & grandaughters enjoyed many of the treats. Located in a very quiet, nice neighborhood within short walking distance to beach, park area and coffee shops. Daughter & 2 granddaughters stayed in bedroom with queen & bunk beds & I stayed in Master. All very comfortable! To note too: Nice remodel, lg bathroom shower with super water pressure- was nice after long day out & about. Everything we needed, super hosts & would highly recommend this location!

PB Beachside Getaway-PARKING included!
We spent 13 nights at Angela’s while visiting our daughter in PB. The apartment is very comfortable with a cute beach theme. Bed was comfortable and shower great. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Angela had excellent communication and rules and apartment use guidelines were very clear. The location was fantastic for walking to the ocean, great coffee, bakery and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend Angela’s apartment and hope to stay again!

2 bedroom 2 bath apartment with golfcourse view 35
Excellent and well appointed unit. King size bed was great, mattresses comfortable. Large TV in the living room. Kitchen had everything needed. Ground floor with zero steps was nice.

Walk to beach and downtown Encinitas.
We had a fabulous time. This place is comfortable, beautifully decorated, with lots of extra touches. We walked everywhere. Lisa was proactive checking in with us - really one of the best Airbnb stays we've had. Thanks Lisa!!!

Carlsbad Paradise - Beach and Legoland nearby
Was perfect for our weekend soccer getaway. Very centrally located to beach, SoCal soccer fields, The Flower Fields at Carlsbad, Upick strawberries at Carlsbad and Windmill Food Hall were some of the attractions we enjoyed. Everything was clean. Could definitely hear the freeway traffic when door was opened but the construction of the home did block out most of the noise. We appreciated the white noise maker that was provided. Would definitely stay again.
Kid-friendly condo rentals

1 Bedroom Condo at Wave Crest Resort
Nicholas’s apartment was the perfect find for my Southwrn California getaway. The apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable, and the view of the ocean from the pool was just what I had hoped for! A perfect spot to relax during the day and watch the sunset in the evening. Great restaurants and shops in walking distance, free parking, gracious staff - all around perfect!

Mission Beach Dream Condo Only steps to the sand!
Carlos was a great host, replied promptly to our questions. The whole place was really clean when we arrived, and it was exactly how it was described on the pictures. Pet friendly without the massive restrictions as other rentals. Walking distance to Belmont Park, restaurants, bars and the beach. Great location and we will definitely book this place again when we come back.

Ocean Front Beach Townhouse with Balcony
Title: Great Value, but be Prepared for Noise I recently stayed at this Airbnb and had an overall positive experience. The location was fantastic—easy to find, and it was conveniently close to local attractions and restaurants. The host was responsive and friendly, making the check-in process smooth. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Considering the price compared to other options in the area, I felt it was a great value. However, one thing to note is that the property is in the flight path for San Diego airport. While this wasn’t an issue once I fell asleep, the noise from the planes, neighbors, and outdoor sounds made it a bit challenging to get to sleep on the first few nights. The walls seemed a bit thin, so I could hear quite a bit of outside noise. Overall, I'd recommend staying here, but be prepared for the noise—especially if you're a light sleeper. I’d suggest bringing earplugs to help with the no

Charming 1 br Condo; Walk to Beach and Downtown
Cute condo close to everything--the beach, downtown, 10 mins drive to groceries, restaurants, etc. Quiet at night (except my kids--sorry!) and safe to walk around. We took the kids to Legoland two days in a row and it was a 10-15 mins drive. Definitely will be coming back the next time we visit.

The Coast Getaway
Beautiful condo close to the LaCosta Omni. View of tennis courts, golf club & mountains. Host responded quickly to our questions.

Lovely, 1 bedroom Condo, Ocean & Pool View-
Thank you for a great stay in Oceanside! The place was very comfortable and so amazing to be that close to the ocean! We will return! The only thing that was disappointing (that the host couldn’t control obviously) was the amount of kids and toddlers in the hot tub constantly. Again, it was a beautiful location and we will be back!

1BR Condo, Private Patio, Fire-pit, Rooftop Patio!
Jesse was extremely proactive in reaching out to me to confirm my early arrival request. He was very clear with his directions and instructions and prompt to respond when I reached out to him. The unit was exactly as described and not only checked off all of the boxes that we had, but included some additional bonuses. Great value, right off the beach, first floor, washer and dryer included, with two parking spaces. That is pretty much unheard of in that area! Should I need accommodations in San Diego again, I will absolutely reach out to inquire if Jesse's place is available again.

Cozy home central to beaches & attractions
We truly loved our stay at Junn place. It was so close to everything, maybe 10-12 min from everywhere we wanted to tour around SD. Junn even offered some local recommendations since it was our first time in the area. The place felt so cozy and homey. We are clean freaks and this passed our standards. We would love to stay again if we come to the area in the future. Thank you Junn.
