Family-friendly vacation rentals in la Jolla Shores Beach

Great place and really nice backyard, great neighborhood

We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

This home was beautiful! Plenty of space for the seven of us for our girls' trip. Helen was an excellent host. She was very responsive to any questions we had. The property was well-stocked with towels and linen, and had a washer and dryer in case you needed to do laundry. The backyard is beautiful. Extremely flexible check-in/check-out options. I would definitely stay again.

great location and amenities - we really appreciated the garage parking spot as it's in a popular beach area. Easy access to the beach boardwalk, and the house has a nice saltwater pool and spa with all the floaties and life jackets for the kids. We found everything we needed to have a fantastic spring break!

We had such an amazing week for our party of 7 family reunion!!! The house was exactly as described and so well stocked with amenities, most especially books, toys, and any children’s item you could think of for your young boys. Our family had tons of fun using the pool and hot tub, we definitely utilized the wide assortment pool/beach toys and floaties as well. We had a very good time with the special treasure hunt game which was amusement for all ages. Communication was top notch and the recommendations were much appreciated and spot on. We’re already planning our next vacation here again. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

All I can say is that Cynthia is a great host, and a decent human being. It's a nice house it doesn't bother me that it's HOA but I got complaints from my partner about that. HOA doesn't bother me, it wasn't like we were going to have a wild party. Cynthia's house is everything that you could expect on a vacation, and the mattress in the master bedroom was like sleeping on air. You might have to travel a bit to eateries and fun but it's peaceful and homie when you return to Cynthia's home unfortunately it was cold so we did not go swimming but I have absolutely no complaints. I said she's a decent human being because I lost something and she was willing to ship it back to me. A blessing to have people like her in this world.

I was amazed at the ample space and amenities available in this Airbnb! It was a beautiful, clean, and spacious area for my children and their children to be together while awaiting my youngest son’s wedding. Many lovely memories were made here!! Very gracious hostess as well!!

This house was wonderful. We felt right at home from the first minute. The beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. It was wonderful sitting out side at the fire pit enjoying the surroundings. The internet was out the first day but Susie made sure it was fixed the next day. We had a few other questions and Susie responded very quickly to all of them. I'd stay here again for sure!

This place was amazing! I stayed here with my family, which included two dogs, and it was perfect! The house and yard were great for my family and pets, and the neighborhood is quiet and private. It was also close to many great restaurants and things to do. Isabelle was a great host! She left us a personalized message, cookies, snacks, and drinks for our check in and was extremely nice and responsive when we had questions. She also had some great recommendations for food and places to see nearby. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone, especially if you are looking for a family and pet friendly location close to many great spots in San Diego. I hope I get to come back to the area and stay here again in the future.

Cool little spot right next to everything you could need. Walking distance to the zoo😍 and Balboa park. We also walked to food and grocery. The parking spot was a bonus as well. At arrival, the house was cool and comfortable. I did laundry while there too. It was nice to come home with clean clothes and very little laundry to do. I would definitely stay again.

Great place right in the heart of a quiet Pacific Beach neighborhood. Two bedrooms with comfortable queen beds, a nice-sized living room and modern kitchen. The washer/dryer was also very convenient. We also enjoyed sitting at the outdoor table on a couple of occasions that's near the alleyway. The location is very convenient, just a ~10 minute walk down to Trader Joes and the main drag in PB. Great place and a great value.

Great spot conveniently located near the freeway and downtown Encinitas! Courtney is a great host who communicated quickly and anticipated any needs we would have. The house was clean, cozy, and had ample blankets, towels, dishes, etc. Courtney went the extra mile and decorated for Christmas since we were there for the holidays. Highly recommend this spot!

I had a wonderful stay! The place was very clean, well-kept, and peaceful. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants, making it super convenient. I truly enjoyed my time here and will definitely consider staying again in the future. Highly recommend!

Had a nice stay - check in instructions were a little hard to find but once we found the online portal they were pretty straightforward. Comfortable bed, nice shower head, and clean small studio space. Beach gear was provided which was a nice touch. Great location with easy free parking in the surrounding streets. Host was very responsive to any messages.

I had a wonderful stay here! Olga was incredibly welcoming when my friend and I arrived—she gave us a great tour of the place, which looked amazing. The space had everything we needed, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and inviting experience!

This place is near a lot of cool things for families. Lots of food places and coffee shops within walking distance and the beach is not that far Great spot for a family of five, the only complaint I have is that the train horn went off throughout the night. So it would be a good idea to bring earplugs.

Place was very nice and worked well for us. Definitely keeping in mind for future visits.

Nima’s Airbnb is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the tranquility and beauty of the space. The home is impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The serene atmosphere made it feel like a true retreat, and every detail reflected care and consideration. Whether we were lounging in the cozy living space or enjoying the peaceful surroundings, it was clear that Nima has created something truly special. Nima himself is an exceptional host—responsive, thoughtful, and committed to ensuring a flawless experience. We’re already looking forward to our next stay and can’t recommend this place enough to anyone seeking a perfect getaway. Thank you, Nima, for sharing your beautiful space with us!

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.

Love Teri’s place! Feels just like home whenever we stay there. Walking distance to Better Buzz Coffee and Vons for groceries. Everything you need is there for you to make the place feel like home away from home. Teri was a great host too, can’t recommend her enough for anyone wanting to stay in San Diego.

Great host and great stay. Thanks!

We had a wonderful stay! Greg and Leslie were so welcoming and kind and their home is beautiful and very enjoyable. Hope to be back again soon.

Will and Janine see such gracious and mellow hosts. Their place and the surroundings are stunning and the lodging is a wonderful space for relaxation and restoration. The pool area and sunshine were just what we needed. The kitchen area is small but well-appointed. it being a pet friendly space was much appreciated. Don't get us started on the bathroom! While it's a shared wall with their part of the house, we never lacked for privacy. Lastly, the value for what you pay is top tier. Highly recommended and we hope to return next time we're in San Diego!

Very much enjoyed staying here! Nice and clean space, and host was great! Loved being in the heart of Pacific Beach!
