Amazing stay! Host was responsive and super friendly! She let us check in early! The environment was soo pretty! 10/10 would come back again!

Beach Apartment near Oceanside Pier
Do not hesitate booking this stay for your next vacation. The absolute perfect location, most charming little beach condo, INSANE VIEW!! Close to everything you need in the sweetest town. Steven is amazing and extremely helpful

Ocean close apartment UnitB
Location! This rental is walking distance to everything in the heart of Oceanside. Steps to the beach, short walk to all restraunts in downtown Oceanside, .75 miles to the harbor. Rental was plenty big for 2 adults. Highly recommended! Perfect place to stay for a wonderful getaway!

Heart of South O' Beach Bungalow - Suite #3
This place was very clean and welcoming for me and my family. Everything was as described in the listing. The whole apartment was very clean, and bey well equipped with everything needed for our stay. Great restaurants nearby and very close to the beach. Also, it was only a 10-minute drive to LEGOLAND. Very well recommended place to stay. The host was very responsive and attentive to every question I had. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip.

Cute & Cozy, walk to beach/village, king beds
We spent three nights at Judy’s place and felt right at home. She was quick to respond to any questions and easy to communicate with from the time of booking until check-out. The kitchen had everything you’d need to make home cooked meals including many spices/condiments. All of the spaces were clean and well stocked. The cottage has great walkability and is only a couple of minutes walk to the beach. We had a great time and are glad we had this place to come back to after our long days out and about.

Carlsbad Paradise - Beach and Legoland nearby
Was perfect for our weekend soccer getaway. Very centrally located to beach, SoCal soccer fields, The Flower Fields at Carlsbad, Upick strawberries at Carlsbad and Windmill Food Hall were some of the attractions we enjoyed. Everything was clean. Could definitely hear the freeway traffic when door was opened but the construction of the home did block out most of the noise. We appreciated the white noise maker that was provided. Would definitely stay again.

Seaview Sunset - Close to beaches & restaurants!
Christie’s place was great! So cute, great area, great environment, easy parking, and overall such an amazing experience! 10/10 recommend! The views were beautiful and easy walk to the beach. We felt like we were at home! The best place to stay in Oceanside, would definitely stay here again!

Forty feet from Pacific Ocean
This was our second time staying at Matthew’s and once again it did not disappoint. As a host and person, Matthew is a gem. He’s so kind and ready to help but is so respectful of space. The surrounding area is so beautiful and the most peaceful area you will find. My wife and I go there to unwind and it equally meets both of our needs. She loves to listen to the ocean and I love to sit outside and see it. Whenever we want to plan a getaway, this will be our spot.
House rentals with beach access

La Jolla Beach Bungalow Gem
Very much enjoyed our stay! Perfectly sized for two. The patio in the back was a nice touch, and the space was well equipped. Very walkable to restaurants, shops, and the beach. Dedicated parking is also super convenient if you need it (we didn't, but if we had, we would have been super glad for it). Expect some sounds from neighbors since the lots are close together; example was someone nearby using a chainsaw somewhat early in the morning (but that can happen anywhere). Was very quiet at night. Overall great, fantastic for the price. Would stay again!

.:The Beach Hive:. Downtown Encinitas
The Bee Hive was so cute. We had so much fun. We love Encinitas. We parked our full-size suv in the designated parking spot and didn’t use it the whole time we were there. We walked to the beach, we walked to get coffee in the mornings, we walked to shops and we even did d 2 different escape roomed on 2 different days. We can’t wait to go back!

Newly Remodeled NOT Shared Beachfront Home W/SPA
This place was HEAVEN!! We fell in love with the place. The place was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. A 15 min walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the view from the couch every morning and the view from the lifeguard chairs in the evening. The Airbnb hosts were helpful and responsive. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

Tranquil Hip Indoor/Outdoor Living Near Beach
Awesome place for our small family. Very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to downtown Oceanside with lots of shops and restaurants. Overall would definitely recommend.

Ocean Views,Rooftop Deck,Fire Pit,Game Room,AC
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful and sparkling clean house, plenty of space and right across the street from Terramar Point, a great surf break. We could see dolphins and seabirds from the large windows of the house. One night we ordered delivery and ate watching the sunset from the rooftop! Anthony and Amanda were so kind and helpful. Lots of great restaurants in Carlsbad. We especially enjoyed dinner one night at Campfire. Incredible food and service. Highly recommend!!

"Seafoam House" just steps to Surf Beach, Downtown
I stayed here for three weeks. It was wonderful. The place was neat and cozy. Walkable to restaurants, stores, museums, and, thrilling to this midwesterner, about a 90 second walk to the beach. Felt totally safe walking around at night. Communication with Rachel was great, and Pete who managed the property responded immediately and was full of helpful suggestions, from where to order pizza to where to get my car fixed. Really enjoyed my stay, and would love to return some day!

Ocean View | Walk to Beach | Prime Location
The location is awesome. It’s two minutes walking distance from the famous life guard tower 9 that sits next to the beach. It’s also about 5 minutes walking distance from the Better Buzz Coffee. The inside is very spacious and very beautiful. The terrace comes with a table and fireplace to cook s’mores in. The ocean view from the terrace. And the garage parking space is amazing. I would recommend this place 10 out of 10.

Toes in the Sand Beach House!
We had a fantastic stay at Clarissa’s place! The location is unbeatable—just a row of houses away from the beach and conveniently close to the Village, restaurants, and Legoland. Clarissa is an incredible host, always responsive and attentive to anything we needed. The home itself is well-equipped with everything you could ask for. We only used one bedroom in the back, and the bed was very comfortable. The long driveway behind a small gate was a huge plus, easily fitting our GMC truck and a smaller SUV. This home is also great for larger groups, with plenty of space to spread out. Highly recommend staying here—we’d love to come back!
Condo rentals with beach access

1 Bedroom Condo at Wave Crest Resort
Nicholas’s apartment was the perfect find for my Southwrn California getaway. The apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable, and the view of the ocean from the pool was just what I had hoped for! A perfect spot to relax during the day and watch the sunset in the evening. Great restaurants and shops in walking distance, free parking, gracious staff - all around perfect!

Walk to the Beach from a Seaside Apartment with a Balcony
All-in-all nice vacation spot. You can always find something to complain (i.e. musty odor mentioned in the previous review is a fact but everybody has a different tolerance level). Bikes are GREAT addition to the experience as you can almost drop using your car unless to stock up in Trader Joe's. Sandra is very welcoming host, instructions are clear and precise.

Steps from the Beach, Harbor, Pool, Spa, Dining
Great location between the harbor and the beach with a nice pool and hot tub

Del Mar Beach Club-AC, pool,jacuzzi,tennis, views!
This was our second time staying at this condo. Very nice setup, so nice to being out dog and so close to the dog beach! Will stay again.

Oceanside Beach & Oceanview condo newly remodeled
We had the best time staying at Imran’s place in Oceanside. We were pleasantly surprised by the location and view as they were even better than we anticipated based on pictures and the description provided. Imran was super helpful and responsive. We can’t wait to return!

Luxury on the Beach
We love the location and amenities at Paul’s place. Very quiet unit and lovely balcony overlooking the beautiful surroundings. A new hot tub opened by the pool during our stay which was wonderful!

Luxurious and Spacious Condo steps from the Beach
Abraham was a great host. Excellent communication. The place was wonderful and just steps to the beach. We would definitely stay there again. We were told the place came with multiple boogie boards, there was only one there when we arrived. I messaged Abraham to let him know and within a couple hours he had delivered 2 more boogie boards for us. Very proactive and excellent! The resort area pools/hot tubs and other amenities were very nice also.

Penthouse B: Luxury w Rooftop deck & Ocean View!
Great Oceanside resort retreat. The location is hard to beat with the ocean only steps away. Resort has a great pool and hot tub area as well as an adult only hot tub for those that want to enjoy kid free. Add in the gym and recreation area, this resort truly has everything you need. The Airbnb is well stocked including beach towels and some beach gear. For the beach, just be aware of Oceanside's sand restoration project. The North side of the river is still good though.
