2 BED/1 BA Coastal Haven in SD
My family loved this place! It is walking distance to the beach, coffee shops, eateries and convenience stores. You'll get used to the airplanes flying overhead every 20 minutes (and they don't fly after about 11 pm, so that's nice). Check in, and out, was super easy. We're already planning on coming back for summer!!!!

The Avocado Hut- Private Guesthouse, HOT TUB!
Everything was perfect and peaceful and we enjoyed our stay very much!!! it was convenient that The washer and dryer were there. Definitely would stay again.

Sunset Paradise w/ocean view- on sale this week!
What can I say, my wife and I had a great trip and a big reason is because of this house. Perfect for a day and even better for longer than that. So close to the beach and the hot tub was perfect for those chilly mornings/evenings. Thank you so much and we will be back for sure!!

Crown Point Gem with Salt Water Pool
Great space, good location 15 minutes from most attractions. Pool was great

La Jolla Shores redwood beach cottage
We fell in love with this quintessential La Jolla beach bungalow, and felt immediately at home. We especially appreciated family dinners in the spacious private backyard, and walking to the beach, restaurants, and playground. Chip and Elise were perfect hosts and always very responsive. We had an amazing stay and are already planning a return trip!

2BR Carlsbad Home Near Beach w/Shared Pool & Spa
This house was adorable, clean and in a great location. If it’s going to be hot while you stay, the house does get very warm in the late afternoon and takes a while to cool back down when the sun goes down. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. There were plenty of beach towels and extra towels. We had a great experience and would stay again given the opportunity.

Dragonfly Cottage - In the Heart of San Diego
We had a great stay at this apartment. The kids and I especially loved the hot tub, which was a fun and relaxing way to wind down each evening. I didn’t get a chance to try the sauna, but it’s a nice extra touch. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. I also appreciated that the owners provided tea and coffee for their guests. While the apartment is technically suitable for more, I’d recommend it for no more than two people, as the sofa bed wasn’t the most comfortable for sleeping. The location was excellent, and we had no trouble finding parking right in front of the house. Finally, the host was very responsive and attentive. Overall, I would highly recommend this place.

LOFT: Detached Cottage with Patio
We stayed a week and this small house had everything two people needed for a very pleasant stay. It is very comfortable, relaxed, but also clean and tidy. There were many small touches that made it special. Location put you right in the midst of coffee shops and restaurants.

Peaceful & Cheerful 3bd in Sunny Pacific Beach, CA
Perfect little home base while visiting SD! Would definitely recommend.

Charming coastal cottage Dogs free, 3 blocks ocean
Great experience, great location. It's on a main street so it's busy with traffic, at times. Not a bad thing, but just something to point out. The front is private and gated from the traffic by a beautiful and inviting area to lounge and hang out with our pups. Lovely home with all that we needed during our stay. Great host and super responsive! Would love to stay again!

Dog friendly California Cottage near SDSU
Victor was an outstanding host. I loved the cottage and its beautiful surroundings. I was on an extended work trip and brought my dog along, and the hospitality was exceptional throughout my entire stay. My dog enjoyed the enclosed backyard and felt very safe. I also appreciated the Brita pitcher in the refrigerator. I highly recommend this Airbnb! Happy travels! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Private cozy cottage
We have stayed with Lisa multiple times in the past year. It’s like a home away from home. Very easy to get to and convenient to visiting friends and family. Very quiet neighborhood and cozy place inside.

Pepper Berry Beach Cottage
We had such a great stay at the Pepper Berry Beach Cottage. You can really tell that Michael has put a lot of care and thought into the place—it’s cozy, spotless, and stocked with everything you might need for a comfortable and relaxing visit, from extra blankets and towels to all the essential supplies. The decor has a calm, coastal vibe that instantly puts you at ease. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there are so many thoughtful little touches throughout the space that make it feel welcoming and homey. The oversized couch was perfect for lounging, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—we slept so well. The location in Ocean Beach is ideal—tucked away in a quiet spot, but still just a short walk or drive to the beach and local cafes. Communication with Michael was easy, and check-in and check-out were super easy. It’s a lovely place to unwind, that I would highly recommend to anyone!

Welcome to Secret Cottage!
We had a fantastic time staying at Bill's Airbnb and it truly felt like being at home. To begin with, Bill greeted us with a big smile. He is very kind and attentive. The Cottage is actually larger than what you see in the photos. It is very comfortable and everything in it is well appointed. I loved the fact that there were extra sets of bath towels and bedsheets available in the second closet ( something that you don't see in other Airbnb). It had all the amenities that one uses on daily basis AND more. The location of this Cottage is fantastic. There are lots of good restaurants nearby ( even a major grocery store within the walking distance which is very convenient) and super easy access to the highways. what surprised us was the fact that how quiet the Cottage was. All we could hear was the beautiful chirping of the birds!!!!! This airbnb checks all the mark on one's list. Bill, Thank You for your warm hospitality 🙏. we absolutely LOVED the Secret Cottage ❤

Point Loma Beachy Cottage
I booked Robert's place as it was close to a wedding venue we were coming into town for. The location was perfect and close to so many great places. The house was perfect with all the amenities we needed and more. I love the personal touch of snacks and a fridge full of a variety of drinks. The bed was very comfortable and the entire place was very clean. He also had a steamer which made it nice to touch up my husband's suit and my dress. I could go on and on about what a great stay this was. I would 100% book his place again when coming back to San Diego.

FLS Morningside Cottage
Best of the best! This place is an oasis with wonderful hospitality and attention to detail. The cottages are super well cared for, very clean and well stocked. The garden is an incredible space to relax and unwind in. I felt like I was staying at a spa for my soul. It was really a gift to be able to stay here. Thank you Linda and Santos!

New Whale Cottage Amazing Ocean Views
I loved staying at Anna’s cottage. It’s beautiful, serene, and in a great location. Anna is a kind, lovely host. Her care for her guests’comfort is apparent in everything— excellent communication, comfortable, really attractive furnishings and lighting, thoughtful amenities, the sense of light and uncluttered space everywhere in the house. Lovely outside space too. And such a beautiful view! I didn’t want to leave.

Classic PB Surf Cottage
I had an extended stay at Daniel’s place and had a great time. The place could not be in a more perfect spot close to everything you could want to do. It was the perfect California experience. Daniel was also responsive and provided great recommendations. Overall this was an awesome time!

Modern Cottage for parents/babes or a work-cation
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!
