Beach In Beach Out
We had a great time at this AirBNB, the host even accommodated our request to stay an extra two days! The location is perfect, beautiful views! Thanks again!

Views - Quiet Mt. Helix Home - Pool -Sleeps 11
Wonderful home and lovely amenities/views! We found everything comfortable and totally enjoyable too.

3 Bedroom Water View Home - North Mission Beach
We had a great stay. Everything was as described and the check in process was seamless. I would absolutely stay here again.

Endless Summer - Wind N' Sea
Our family had a wonderful time! We loved how close the home was to the beach and shopping/food in La Jolla. A great vacation spot for our family of 4.

"A Wave From it All" Beach House
Definitely will look to stay again next year. Location was great, kitchen was well equipped and spacious, very spacious living room for the 8 of us to watch a movie and super cute rooftop space. Beds were comfy as well.

Calendar Now Open for Belmont Beachhouse
The location was wonderful! Steps from the beach and minutes from Balboa Park. The space was large, very well outfitted, and clean. We felt very at home and would absolutely stay again!

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

Oceanfront Oasis: Step from Your Door to the Sand
This lovely property is directly on the beach and strand. We watched dolphins offshore from the patio door. The kitchen was well stocked. The furniture and beds were beachy and comfortable. The beach was beautiful for walking and swimming.

Casa Mar Bella, Oceanfront Luxury Beach House🌊
Our family had an absolutely amazing stay at Cristian and Michele’s beautiful home in Rosarito! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The home was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable vacation. Cristian and Michele went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Their hospitality and attention to detail truly made a difference. We created so many special memories here with our family, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to stay in such a lovely space. I would 100% recommend this home to anyone visiting Rosarito. We’re already looking forward to coming back one day! Thank you again for everything!

Beach house steps from surf and restaurants.
We stayed at Maria's place with our two 14- and 11-year-old kids for a week and had a perfect vacation. Maria had great recommendations and clear instructions on where to park and enter. We loved walking to Rosemont Cafe and the beach, and our favorite local dinners were at The Promiscuous Fork, The Taco Stand, and El Pescador. Beds and linens were very comfortable, and the patio was peaceful and private. Highly recommended!

Del Mar LoveShack
We stay at AirBnB’s a lot and the Love Shack is our absolute favorite to date! The place is gorgeous, comfortable, clean and very well appointed. The hosts are attentive, friendly and communicative — and the layout and accommodations were perfect for our family. The location is great too with awesome restaurants nearby — and even walking distance with amazing burritos (Roberto’s) and coffee (Bird Rock) as were gorgeous nature walks. And it was central and close to all San Diego attractions. I’d book this place again in a heartbeat!!!

Live the Beach Life in a Quaint Shell Cottage
This beach cottage was perfect for my husband, our 13 month old son, and small dog for the weekend. The house and linens are clean. The house, patio and yard are cute. It is located in a quiet cul-de-sac. They had plenty of beach chairs, towels, wagons, and beach toys for us to use. We had a great weekend here.

Private OceanFront Beach Home
We had a wonderful stay at Marisa's place. The deck was beautiful and we had direct beach access. There were beach chairs, boogie boards, and plenty of beach towels. The area is very peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend for the view alone. Marisa was also extremely responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to our next trip!

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.

North Mission Beach w/AC, Parking, Ocean View Deck
This studio is fantastic. The photos do not do the location justice--it is VERY close to the beach. Any closer, and you'd be a house on the boardwalk with little privacy. I appreciated the details that Ginger has put into this studio--everything is labeled so you won't be wondering where anything is and she provides lots of extra that made for a stress free trip. We traveled with our 1.5 year old and loved that a pack-n-play, high chair, and children's kitchenware was provided! There's also toys appropriate for toddlers through older kids (adult boardgames too). The bunk room doesn't have a door (but this is a studio after all), but we brought a sound machine with us and there is a hallway pocket door to keep noise separate. Check out Ginger's suggestions located in the studio via a convenient map or the link she sends beforehand. Thank you for a great stay, Ginger!

The Surf in Del Mar
Our stay at Noel and Linda's place was absolutely perfect. We love the Del Mar area and the location to the beach, the beautiful deck overlooking the ocean and the proximity to walk to shops was just what we needed for our family time away.

Ac home with lots outside space
We came for a short trip. Here are our pros: great parking space for your car which is gated and can fit up to two, there is a lot of space and 5+ people can sleep in here comfortably. If you need a safe and private place to stay with family then this is a great affordable options. Our cons: the electrical outlets did not seem to work on the bottom floor in the bedroom, we had an issue with the shower not functioning which was not helpful when everyone needed to shower, the upstairs gets very hot even with the fans we had to sleep with the windows open because of the heat. These are things that are fixable, overall it is a good place to stay at.

Pacific Beach Bungalow - Steps from Mission Bay!
Really enjoyed our stay. Great location for access to the beach and local restaurants and centrally located within a short drive to the heart of San Diego. Access to bikes a nice plus for rides along the beach. Unit was clean and comfortable, no complaints.

Contemporary San Diego Home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Barry’s place. It’s located in a peaceful neighborhood with easy access to many sites in San Diego. The house was very clean and well appointed. We enjoyed relaxing in the tranquil backyard - being welcomed by Barry’s sweet golden retriever, Dorry was a highlight. We will definitely return.

House, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom
This location is ideal for quick pickups and is conveniently close to popular tourist spots. A vehicle is recommended for easy access. The presence of fruit trees adds a delightful touch, making it a very sweet and appealing place to stay. Will stay here again!

13+ guests required to get 4 bedrooms
Great PB location and the management team was great. Make sure to read the rules and pricing for the different apartment configurations.

Classic 3/1 beach house, half block to beach
One block walk to Ocean Beach. A variety of casual restaurants/eateries/coffee shops within walking distance. The neighborhood was overall clean and felt safe. We were able to find parking on the street within 1-2 blocks. Good communication with host. Would stay again.

5BR | Salt Water Pool | Hot Tub | Fire Pit| BBQ
I love that the kitchen was very well stocked! If you like to cook it’s great! The backyard was beautiful my kids loved the resort feel. We visited for a graduation for my nephew from the Marines boot camp. The location was about 20-25 minutes from base which was so easy because you’re close to the freeway! The house was perfect for our stay! The box truck in the front yard was a throw off when we arrived but once inside you didn’t notice it was there. The house is very cute and full of everything you need to have a great stay! Thank you Brian for being a great host!

2018 Cape Cod in Roseville Point Loma
We really enjoyed the place! It was perfect for our family. Very clean, safe and provided the best of everything you needed!

Your guide to Imperial Beach
All About Imperial Beach
Just over the US-Mexico border in San Diego’s South Bay, Imperial Beach is home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Southern California, four miles of golden sand offset by a long, wooden pier — the perfect place for surfing, horseback riding, and fishing. In fact, the beach is so close to Mexico that you can see Tijuana from the 1,500-foot-long pier. Hispanic culture looms large in Imperial Beach, with Mexican grocers, bakeries, and some of the best authentic Mexican food in San Diego County.
Along the city’s waterfront, you’ll find Dunes Park, featuring public art, a playground, and great views of the pier jutting out into the ocean. While there, head to the Plaza to see the humorously named Surfhenge, Imperial Beach’s colorful version of the famous British landmark. There is a great variety of mom-and-pop eateries lining the beach where you can grab lunch and dinner or an ice cream cone to take with you on a sunset stroll on the sand.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Imperial Beach
Thanks to the beautiful southern California climate, Imperial Beach has dry, temperate weather all year round, making any time a good time to secure an Imperial Beach vacation rental. Summers offer hot, sunny days that are perfect for enjoying the beach and estuary. In August, the city hosts the Sun & Sea Festival, which showcases sandcastle art made by some of the best sculptors in the world, and includes community parades, farmer’s markets, and international food fairs. Spring and fall are nice times to visit as the summer crowds have gone home, and you may find yourself exploring Imperial Beach all on your own. It gets quiet during the winter, and although it’s still possible to paddleboard and kayak, you may want to put on a wetsuit as the ocean can be chilly.
Top things to do in Imperial Beach
Tijuana River National Estuary
Located at the meeting point between the freshwater Tijuana River and the Pacific Ocean, this estuary is one of the largest saltwater marshes in Southern California. The reserve is one of the best places to view endangered birds as it is home to a whopping 370 species. While here, you can also take a walk along the accessible North and South McCoy Trails.
The Imperial Beach Pier
With sweeping views of the Los Coronado Islands and the sparkling Pacific Ocean, the Imperial Beach Pier is one of the best places in the city to go for an evening stroll or watch the sunset. Anglers are known to cast off the side of the pier for corbina, croaker, or even halibut.
Silver Strand State Beach
This seven-mile-long isthmus lies between San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean connecting Imperial Beach to Coronado Island. It is a fantastic spot for swimming, kayaking, and surfing from its isolated, shell-covered beaches, and for biking; the beach lies along the 24-mile long Bayshore Bikeway.
