The Boho Beachfront Pet-Friendly Palace w/AC

KpRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This was one of the best AirBnB experiences that we have had in quite a while. The condo was just as described. The area is very walkable and there are enough local businesses to keep you busy for a long time. By car, the area attractions are all less than 20 min away, and Sea World is only 5 min away. The laundry allows you to pay by phone so you don’t have to scrounge for quarters. The one note is that it was very difficult to park in the garage and we only have a midsize station wagonesque car. If we had a full sized SUV, it would have been a problem.

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb right on Mission Beach! The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the sand and perfect for a relaxing, chill vibe. The house was super clean, beautifully decorated, and very kid-friendly, which made it perfect for our family. The host, Evan was incredibly accommodating, even with some last-minute changes we had. He checked in to see if we needed anything and was always responsive and kind throughout our stay. We really appreciated the great communication and hospitality. Overall, we absolutely loved the experience and would definitely stay here again!

Bay View Beach House - Coastal Retreat

BarbaraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Location, location, location. Michael’s home is where you want to be. Less than a block to the bay and a short beautiful block to walk to the ocean. The beds were so comfortable after a long day at the beach. The showers were great and never ran out of hot water. As a family of six, we found the space spacious yet homey. It was our first time to San Diego and we hope to stay here again, hopefully for two weeks next time. Thank you, Michael!

Designer Beach House | AC | Attached Garage

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A great stay for a family vacation of all ages. With two small children and the grandparents, the layout of the home was so needed with one master on the first level, and 2 bedrooms upstairs so we could spread out a bit. The house was spotless and organized. For being so convienent, it was also quiet and comfortable.

Oceanfront Condo 2/2 | Hot Tub | Private Roof Deck

PaulineRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay here. Obviously, we stayed here for the ocean view and roof top terrace which did not disappoint. It is within walking distance to fun activities and places to eat. It is also close enough to some great restaurants within 2-3 miles (we used Lyft which averaged about $6-10 each way). The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was ample space for 3 adults and a teenager. There were plenty of things to do with a nice mix of peace (from the absolutely wonderful roof top terrace) and entertainment (groups on the boardwalk, Belmont Park, SeaWorld, and the Zoo). Any questions we had, Erin or Christina were quick to respond. We had an issue with hooking up the AC unit due to a piece missing that was apparently being cleaned. Within 1 hour Erin arrived with a new piece and hooked it right up for us. Amazing service! If we found ourselves in SD again, we'd definitely stay here and recommend for others!

5-Star Oceanfront @ Windansea Beach | New Remodel

DavidRating, 5 stars3 days ago
The view from the main area is wonderful. You are literally steps away from the beach and you can sit back, relax, and watch people surf. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The hosts were always available but didn’t ever bother you with endless messages like other hosts I’ve had in the past. It’s also an easy walk to have dinner or drinks.

Bayside Villa -2BR Beachfront FREE parking

KarenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our hosts were very friendly and super responsive. Check in was easy and parking is free and right out front. The space was clean and we had everything we needed. Kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils, keurig maker with coffee pods, nice dishware. Everything worked and the unit was clean. The area was quiet and we enjoyed walking out a few steps to the bay. I especially watching the water sports on the bay. Great family area with boardwalk which was perfect for biking and walking. Mission Beach was a 15 minute walk and we rented bikes and loved riding by the ocean. Thank you!

Oceanview, 2 Balconies, Recently Upgraded Kitchen!

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Location of this Condo is right by Crystal Pier and surrounding restaurants. It served it's purpose for my family and I. It was myself, mother, 4 teenage kids and 6 month baby. We walked the board walk before relaxing at the beach, baby fell sleep during the walk so we took him to where other family was already posted for beach day. When he woke up, we did not have a bottle but luckily the condo unit was 5 minutes back up to the room and back. With a 6 month or infant toddler age your going to have to be carrying around necessities the location of this unit minimized alot of this. Konos was a great place, they serve breakfast all day which is a win for me. There is a bar called The Hideaway, didn't get a chance to go in but they are very busy which in turns means they have to restock their supplies. This is done early morning so workers and their equipment can be heard, this did not bother us but maybe concern for those with good hearing. Our stay was great I definitely recommend.

Enchanted Ocean Sunsets

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Such an amazing place! My husband and I have been meeting up with our friends for 6 years now and this is the first time a kid has joined us. My son loved the beach and it was so nice to be so close and to have our own space but to also be able to walk to restaurants and things around. Kiran was so kind and was able to answer any questions we had very quick. We’ve already talked about going again!!
