Apartment rentals with beach access

Cute, clean private studio. Close to the beach!
We had a great stay! Dave and Sharon are wonderful hosts who helped us with lots of tips. Communication was very quick and easy. We can recommend the apartment and would definitely come back.

Beach Paradise
I felt super comfortable and safe, even though I was a 70 year old woman alone there. Amazing location. I want to go back already! The bed was extremely comfortable and the apartment was super clean. Angela's recommendations for restaurants were right on. I grew up on La Jolla and miss it so much. These last few days were chicken soup for my soul.

Oceanfront Penthouse with Private Deck & Grill
Tamaras listing was exactly like her pictures for a first timer In san diego the location was so beautiful and peaceful right off the beach exactly what I needed for a mini vacation I loved that it had its own little cozy balcony, and rooftop grill/ fire pit overlooking the view of imperial Beach there was so much to do in walking distance you couldn't beat the price for this place would definitely recommend and the host was very helpful and accommodating to any questions we had no matter the time if day thank you for making my stay worth it !

Rustic Oceanfront Beach Pad
This place was an absolute gem. Waking up to the sound of the waves and being able to walk everywhere made our stay so relaxing. It's the kind of spot where the beach feels like your backyard and adventure is always just around the corner. Falling asleep to the ocean breeze was pure magic. All in all, a fantastic escape — we’d recommend it in a heartbeat.

Forty feet from Pacific Ocean
We absolutely loved, and would recommend Matthew's vacation rental. We have stayed in Oceanside several times for a quick get away and this lovely location is by far our favorite. We hope we will be able to return in the near future. A parking spot is right in front of the property, Matthew's check in and out instructions are clear and easy to follow, the location cannot be beat, with the ocean and private beach just steps away. The interior has everything you could possibly need, it was clean and well stocked. I personally appreciated the binoculars and decaf coffee. It was wonderful to sit outdoors and watch dolphins, seabirds, surfers, dogs happy to be on the beach, and relax to the sound of the waves. There are many great restaurants nearby, and plenty of activities and places to visit in and around town. The best part was the feeling of being in our own little private sanctuary. Thank you to Matthew for being a fantastic host!

Studio Apartment in Heart of Ocean Beach
We had a lovely stay at Rob’s. The location is impossible to beat with amazing restaurants, bars and coffee shops all in walking distance. The space is small as it is a studio but it was perfect for a long weekend with myself and my husband. Communication was extremely fast and everything was smooth as can be with our hosts!

Remodeled modern 2-Bedrooms rental unit
I wasn’t the one who stayed in your air b n b but who booked it and it save me from a lot of headaches and frustration that I can put the other folks who came up here for a graduation like us were able to stay in their own space and not be awkward in one house

New Stunning Encinitas 2 bedroom
Loved our time here. Booked for visiting family and it was an amazing location for showing off this beautiful city. Peaceful, quiet space. Clear instructions and cozy clean space. Would definitely book again!

Bungalow w Hot Tub-Sauna-Cold Plunge
What a wonderful Airbnb experience! The bungalow was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We especially loved taking advantage of the outdoor amenities, including the cold plunge, sauna and hot tub. The outdoor space was perfectly tranquil. Our daughter and dog loved playing in the yard. The proximity to downtown Carlsbad was a huge plus. We were very happy with our stay!

1925 Craftsman Home w large deck. Walk Everywhere!
Cozy spot in a great location. A lot of places to eat, grocery stores and within walking distance or a cheap ride to / from the park. Camila was very nice and helpful! Definitely check it out.

Beautiful 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath House
Had a blast! Nice, clean place to stay that is close to an amazing view.

Romantic Private Canyon Retreat
Love what these two are doing with this additional space in the beautiful Mission Hills. When I usually go to other cities, I do not spend a ton of time at the place I sleep at. With this stay, it was peaceful when I returned after being out through the day with the beautiful patio. Greatly laid out instructions in messages from host.

Blue Beach House 🏖 5 blocks to Beach /Restaurants
We had an amazing week at Susie’s place! The apartment was perfect for my husband and I. Everything was clean and as described. The bed was comfy and we loved the kitchen and outdoor deck. The location was great - we were able to walk everywhere in PB and uber to places easily. We loved exploring the local coffee shops and walking up to the beach for sunset. We had a great week in San Diego and the apartment made it perfect.

The Seaford - sweeping ocean view and pet friendly
We had a dreamy 2-night stay at Lisa's place to celebrate our anniversary! Lisa and Menotti kindly allowed us to bring both our dog and cat, and it could not have been a more beautiful and comfortable place for us all. The location is outstanding -- about a 10-min walk to the beach and near a great grocery store (Cardiff Seaside Market). We loved watching sunset on the balcony and cooking at home just to enjoy the space. Thoughtful touches like the beach chairs and towels were much appreciated. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Outstanding Ocean Oasis ❊ Modern, Family Fun Home
We had a wonderful stay at this kid-friendly Airbnb! The house was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a smooth and fun trip with little ones — beach toys, a stroller, and even outdoor mini golf! It made our park visits and beach days so much easier and more enjoyable. The home itself was beautifully decorated and perfectly matched our taste — we honestly joked that we wished we could live there! Every detail added to the comfort and charm of our stay. The host was incredibly helpful and accommodating of our needs, and the location was ideal — close to all the San Diego attractions we had planned to visit. This was one of our best Airbnb experiences, and we’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend for families visiting San Diego.

Del Mar Torrey Pines With An Ocean View
Karl’s Airbnb is a home away from home in a beautiful, safe, quiet neighborhood!! We loved our stay here, from the decor, to the amenities and suggestions for restaurants and attractions, to the easy access to the beach and nearby gliderport, we had an amazing time! Karl is also very friendly and always responsive, which we appreciated. He sent thorough instructions beforehand to ensure we found the location, and everything was very easy to access. It’s just out of the way enough to be quiet, but places like San Diego, Coronado, and Encinitas are closeby for exploring! If you’re looking for a beautiful stay in a convenient location, this is it! Can’t say enough good things about this place and would definitely book again. Thank you, Karl!

🌟BEST LOCATION IN PB🌟 2Bd/1Ba! WALK to the beach
Wonderful stay! The place was clean and had everything we needed for a week long visit to San Diego. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Easy walk to the beach and many local eateries. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

✨Beach, Bay & Rollercoaster!🏖⛵️🎢
Fransico was very responsive and helpful. We had a great stay. The location was perfect and central to so many things. Would recommend.

Ocean Front Mission Beach Penthouse!
Great location on Mission Beach. Emmy's book of local suggestions was great for finding good food in the area. Centrally located to all different San Diego attractions which was great. Loved the beach being right outside the door as well as the ability to walk all around Mission Beach. My family and I even walked to Pacific beach. Emmy was wonderful with checking in on my family. I would definitely recommend.

Good Vibes Only
My family & I had a cherished time & we totally agree with Tooraj’s “ good vibes only” theme! The place is adorably decorated & my husband loved the real life record player, he put it on first thing ;) We appreciated all of the games & the paddle ball, all my boys had fun with that especially & I loved hearing them laugh while playing together on the beach . It truly is an exceptional place, so peaceful & so close to more action when ya want it. We spent one day at a behind the scenes tour at the safari park & the other day at the zoo, then both evenings were spent on the ocean side, Belmont park, Cannon Ball restaurant, last night we got Mexican food to go & brought it back to this darling, peaceful & truly lovely place. I also want to give a shout out to all of his neighbors, they were all so very kind & friendly;) Thank you with all our hearts Tooraj for sharing your good vibes and giving my family a special place to create cherished memories together. We are grateful 💝🙏

Oceanfront Elegant Condo - Remarkable Amenities
