Beach Getaway! *Building Construction Discount !*
what a wonderful place to stay. Great sunsets and walks on the beach. Great way to relax. The host communicated well with us and got us where we needed to be going. their response time was amazing, we appreciate that. We will come back again next time we are visiting my dad. Thanks again for making our trip much easier.

Private entry, La Jolla studio, near beach, shops
There is no shortage of wonderful things to say about Sharon’s place! It was clean, in a great location, and was very peaceful. Sharon was an awesome host with great communication, personability, hospitality, and a willingness to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. I would highly recommend staying here (especially if you’re an animal lover)! We loved it and would gladly stay again in the future :)

Peaceful Beach Home
I REALLY ENJOY MY STAY AND CAN’T WAIT TO COME BACK. THE IMPERIAL BEACH WAS SO AMAZING AND A JOYFUL VIEW AND WALKING DISTANCE TO GET TOO.

Best location on Seacoast Drive 50 Steps to Sand!
This condo is very nice, modern and comfortable. Ocean breeze was perfect and we never had to use the AC even when it was hot out. The pictures do not do this place justice. Much better in person. Walks on the beach every morning and evening we’re so prime. I hope to stay again.

South Beach 4 | Oceanfront 2BR in Mission Beach
Super responsive host with good instructions and communication all the way along.

Modern Chula Vista 1BD Home Relaxing Outdoor Space
Apartment exactly as pictured. Luis is very communicative and responsive. Easy self check-in. Very well-equipped apartment in a quiet area. The garden with outdoor games is very nice. 2/3 small points of improvement without importance, put a real curtain in the bedroom to avoid the light in the morning, there was no towel in the bathroom we had to find them ourselves in a closet, a few very small stains on the shower curtains and some walls of the house.

Beachbreak 10 Awesome views fantastic food and fun
Wow! Just wow! This place was in a perfect location, clean and plenty of space. I would say the photos don’t do it justice. Everything we needed was there (even basic kitchen items like spices and sugar). Location is great and it was quiet. Highly recommend. There was one negative review about scaffolding but the painting has been done so everything looks new. Great place!

Imperial Beach
Was a beautiful little house. Beautiful bathroom and kitchen. Very comfortable couch. Had waters stocked up in the fridge was very nice. The only thing is the house has very close neighbors. But overall was a very nice stay. I would stay there again.

Dolphin Bay Beach Retreat w/private gated yard
Back in Our Hometown for a family Celebration and we couldnt have been happier with our stay. Private and Convenient Location, easy to find and friendly neighbors. Loved the Patio Space very private, it helped us wind down after a long day with extended family. Hosts Airbnb had everything we needed and more, felt like a home away from home. Def Saving this Spot for our next trip to San Diego!

Paradise Found! Imperial Beach Private Getaway
This was a great Airbnb! Easy to access and great restaurants close by. Very comfortable and felt like home. Hope to stay again next time we are in town!

Ocean Front Beach Condo
My favorite rental!! Clean, beautiful views. Rick was very responsive and accommodating! Had a wonderful stay!

IB Breezes - sunny condo steps from the beach!
Great location & a wonderful place. Kelly was always reachable & responded right away when I had a question. Skateboards & body boards that we could use was great, & a added bonus of a couple bikes we could use. Unfortunately the ocean was closed but not much could be done about that. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing get away

Condo In Imperial Beach
David’s place was clean, cozy, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by some fantastic food spots. Communication with David was quick and easy, which made everything smooth from start to finish. Would definitely stay again!

Charming Baja Inspired Studio
The place that we stayed we found on the Air-B & B app. It looked to be a cozy little place. Pictures were very on point. To have parking was great to have the beach across the street was super awesome, couldn’t go in the water though because of the Tijuana harming the water. Not really understanding that part. Town was perfect size. Coming from San Diego it was a treat to be in a small town. Lots of places to eat. We went to a pizza place down the street and it was super good. You have a cute little place there. We would come back. Thank you very much.

Your guide to Imperial Beach
All About Imperial Beach
Just over the US-Mexico border in San Diego’s South Bay, Imperial Beach is home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Southern California, four miles of golden sand offset by a long, wooden pier — the perfect place for surfing, horseback riding, and fishing. In fact, the beach is so close to Mexico that you can see Tijuana from the 1,500-foot-long pier. Hispanic culture looms large in Imperial Beach, with Mexican grocers, bakeries, and some of the best authentic Mexican food in San Diego County.
Along the city’s waterfront, you’ll find Dunes Park, featuring public art, a playground, and great views of the pier jutting out into the ocean. While there, head to the Plaza to see the humorously named Surfhenge, Imperial Beach’s colorful version of the famous British landmark. There is a great variety of mom-and-pop eateries lining the beach where you can grab lunch and dinner or an ice cream cone to take with you on a sunset stroll on the sand.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Imperial Beach
Thanks to the beautiful southern California climate, Imperial Beach has dry, temperate weather all year round, making any time a good time to secure an Imperial Beach vacation rental. Summers offer hot, sunny days that are perfect for enjoying the beach and estuary. In August, the city hosts the Sun & Sea Festival, which showcases sandcastle art made by some of the best sculptors in the world, and includes community parades, farmer’s markets, and international food fairs. Spring and fall are nice times to visit as the summer crowds have gone home, and you may find yourself exploring Imperial Beach all on your own. It gets quiet during the winter, and although it’s still possible to paddleboard and kayak, you may want to put on a wetsuit as the ocean can be chilly.
Top things to do in Imperial Beach
Tijuana River National Estuary
Located at the meeting point between the freshwater Tijuana River and the Pacific Ocean, this estuary is one of the largest saltwater marshes in Southern California. The reserve is one of the best places to view endangered birds as it is home to a whopping 370 species. While here, you can also take a walk along the accessible North and South McCoy Trails.
The Imperial Beach Pier
With sweeping views of the Los Coronado Islands and the sparkling Pacific Ocean, the Imperial Beach Pier is one of the best places in the city to go for an evening stroll or watch the sunset. Anglers are known to cast off the side of the pier for corbina, croaker, or even halibut.
Silver Strand State Beach
This seven-mile-long isthmus lies between San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean connecting Imperial Beach to Coronado Island. It is a fantastic spot for swimming, kayaking, and surfing from its isolated, shell-covered beaches, and for biking; the beach lies along the 24-mile long Bayshore Bikeway.
