2 BED/1 BA Coastal Haven in SD
A true coastal haven indeed! This place was the perfect weekend getaway! Just a short walk to the beach with tons of great shops and cafes nearby—everything in Ocean Beach is so accessible. Having overnight parking made it easy to explore more of San Diego, from paddle boarding in the bay with super convenient gear rentals to quick trips to SeaWorld and downtown for the nightlife. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing stay with friends. The spa was a highlight—clean, cozy, and perfect for winding down after a full day. Plus, our pup loved the private patio with a pet relief area and had a blast at the nearby dog park and dog beach. Highly recommend for couples, families, or friends looking to enjoy the beach life with all the comforts of home. We’d absolutely come back—and don’t miss grabbing some Hoagies while you’re here!

The Avocado Hut- Private Guesthouse, HOT TUB!
Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely neighborhood. ( neighbor cut me one of her roses)Easy to get around. Ocean Beach so close. I would like to recommend that some safety bars placed in the shower. It was slippery Also, microwave was difficult to get at on top of the fridge for us short er folks. But the stay was wonderful. Would recommend it to others!

La Jolla Shores redwood beach cottage
Such a great little spot! We spent our honeymoon here in 2024 and now our baby moon as well. We love the area and the house is the cherry on top. Hot tub in the rain can’t be beat!

Dragonfly Cottage - In the Heart of San Diego
Lovely place to stay at. It felt like you were at home. It was very peaceful and clean. It was easy to find and street parking was not hard to find. Would love to come back and try the jacuzzi.

Summer at Safari Bay Hideaway-pet friendly yard!
If you have a pet, expect a few extra hundred bucks. Also, the garage is pretty small if you drive anything bigger than a small sedan. Otherwise, great location and nice look. Theme was cute and very comfortable space.

LOFT: Detached Cottage with Patio
Great location and very walkable. This was a very cheerful and fun place to stay, as well as extremely comfortable. I loved how bright and airy it was, not to mention it being peaceful. I cannot wait to stay here again.

Charming Cottage: Parking, Bikes & Walk to Sand!
This was hands down the best air Bnb we’ve ever stayed at and we’ve been all over the world. From check in to check out Stephanie answered texts within minutes. This place is walking distance to the bay, the ocean, and most importantly for our kids- Belmont Park. There were two parking spaces!! (The garage is made for a little car) two spaces is unheard of in this area!! We grilled in the beautiful front yard while the kids played with games Stephanie provided. We will be back someday!!

Peaceful & Cheerful 3bd in Sunny Pacific Beach, CA

It was our first time to La Jolla, and Matt's place is in a great location. Very well organized and plenty of room. It is a quite spot and walking distance to all the local restaurants, coffee shops , and bakery's We will def be staying there again the next time we visit La Jolla.

Charming coastal cottage Dogs free, 3 blocks ocean
Amazing location in a great neighborhood and with lots of nearby green space and beaches for the pups. The host was very quick to communicate. We would stay again if back in the area, especially if we have the dogs with us.

Ocean Beach ~ Your dream vacation!
Andre was extremely accommodating and very responsive. We stayed for 3 days 2 nights the listing had all the amenities we were looking for and it being pet friendly was a huge plus. We were just minutes away from everything the beach restaurants and stores. Highly recommend! We will most definitely be back!

Canyon Views w/ Outdoor Seating & Parking
I had an exceptional stay at Lach's beautifully maintained home in San Diego. The bright living room, fully stocked kitchen, and outdoor seating area with canyon views made it a perfect retreat. The self-check-in process was smooth, and the reserved parking spot was convenient. Lach's communication was prompt and efficient. Highly recommend!

2 Bedroom Beach Cottage - Literally Steps to Sand
We had a wonderful stay. We loved being a very short walk from the beach and only 15 minutes to the airport. The house was well-equipped and very clean. We appreciated having sufficient linens, beach accessories, and kitchen appliances, dishes and cookware. The kids loved the games and the boogie boards. The private patio and front deck were great spaces to dine and relax. The owner was very responsive and responded immediately to our messages. Next time, we will stay longer to explore the shops and restaurants nearby.

Whole home for you near beach, master bedroom.
My girlfriend and I stayed for a week, the place was lovely. It was as shown at the pictures and he was very friendly and helpful. Responded fast at our inquiry’s, an overall excellent service. Highly recommended to have a nice peaceful stay!

Adorable Beach Cottage in Ocean Beach!
Exactly what we needed for our extended stay on the west coast! In a great neighborhood with a lot to walk to and the house itself was perfect- cozy, private, and had everything we needed. And Kimberly was always quick to respond. If we’re back in the area we would love to stay here again!

Kensington Cottage Escape- Sleeps 2!
This is a great location. The Kensington Cottage was just as described and made a great home base for a weekend full of activities in San Diego. The hosts were responsive and the neighborhood was quiet. Still there was much to do within walking distance, coffee shops, nail salons and restaurants. I will definitely be back!

NEW Private PB Modern Cottage w/ Large Wood Deck
Erica's place was a 10/10 and we will definitely be back. The location is perfect, close walking distance to the beach and all the restaurants/bars, but a quieter, more residential part of PB. The place is a new build and we appreciated the quality of the design, the fixtures and the furnishings - the owners have a great attention to detail. A parking spot is included, which is also not typical of the area. Erica and her team were always very responsive and made it a great stay.

Quaint Cottage Heart of North Park, Location A+!
The cottage was exactly what we needed for a weekend away in San Diego. The cottage itself was clean, very private, and has everything you need. John and Dalia's communication was great! Location is perfect, super walkable to breweries, restaurants in North Park which is our favorite neighborhood in SD! Would definitely book again!

New Whale Cottage Amazing Ocean Views
We had an AMAZING stay at Anna's in Ocean Beach. You can tell great care & attention to detail went into putting this home together. It is exactly like the photos (maybe even better) & the view is spectacular! I could have sat on the couch with the huge sliding door open & read a good book all day! The view was so amazing we elected not to eat out & instead cooked our breakfast & dinners in the kitchen, taking in the view while dining. Kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking tools you will need. A note to those who are sensitive to noises. OB is on the flight path of San Diego International & planes take off directly overhead. Good news - planes can't take off after 11:30 PM & can't resume until 6:30 AM, so you'll slumber well. If you keep the doors & windows shut, I'm sure you'd be fine, but we LOVED keeping the doors & windows open to enjoy the ocean breezes & honestly, after a while, you don't hear it anymore. Thanks for a wonderful stay Anna! We will definitely stay again.

Happy Tides: Charming Cottage | Walk to Ocean/Bay
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely beach cottage! We traveled with our two young children and this house was perfect for what we needed. The kid friendly amenities and peaceful street really stood out. The community this home is in is a sweet retreat, our kids even played with some of the neighbor children. I also appreciated all of the local recommendations. And lastly the location to the beach can’t be beat! Would stay here again!

1 block from ocean - stylish & cozy beach cottage!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful beach Airbnb! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The location was unbeatable — just steps from the beach, coffee shops, and restaurants. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure we felt right at home. The location is perfect and so central for all of the amazing things San Diego has to offer. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable beach escape!
