Secluded Cottage in San Diego

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 139 reviews8 months ago

Lydia was a very responsive host and was really easy to communicate with. We were a little skeptical because we knew we would be staying on the property where she lived with her family and were worried about privacy but the cabin is very private and although we naturally bumped into Lydia and her husband a few times, they did not spend any time out their back yard (where the cabin is located) for the duration of our stay so we had the place and the yard pretty much to ourselves which was great. We didn't realize how far away we would be from shops and restaurants. It is about a 20 minute walk to the nearby town so we did spend a lot of money on ubers but that was our own fault for not doing our research beforehand. Overall Lydias place is very clean and had everything we needed for our stay, she even had some stuff in the fridge and cleaning products which was really convenient. Thank you Lydia for a lovely stay.

Randy’s place was fantastic. It was as described and depicted in photos. Randy was a great host. He was very accommodating and accessible. The place was comfortable and clean. The living space/kitchen/dining area was great for our group of 6 adults. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable and quiet. The location was amazing. One small block to the beach. The grocery store and coffee/bars are so close. We used the bikes, Prokadima and beach chairs. Such a great place for the price. Thank you Randy for sharing your place with us!

I had a great stay here! The area is very nice and quiet with beautiful surroundings. It is a great neighborhood if you like to take walks. The space had everything we needed, including shampoo/conditioner/body wash, beach towels, and even some beach accessories (we didn't use them but the closet was stocked). Parking was always available and the space felt clean :)

We stayed in this house for 4 nights and greatly enjoyed our time! There are a myriad of things that are walkable or bike-able, and it was easy to get on and off the highways to get other places. The garage has room for a midsized rental and the home is the perfect spot for two people with easy access to lots to do. If we return to the San Diego area, we’ll definitely look here!

Comfortable and Spacious PB Townhouse

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 172 reviews2 weeks ago

I stayed at Kam's place with 5 other adults and there was plenty of space for all of us. Great ratio of private indoor and outdoor spaces. Everything was neat and tidy. Check in was super easy. It was nice to have a private parking spot, but also street parking was an option. The place is a 25 minute walk to lots of nice shops and the ocean. There is a Trader Joe's a hop-skip away. I would book again with a group in the future.

Ocean View - Ultimate Beach Adventure!

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 131 reviews1 week ago

The proximity to the beach is really the best part of the house. Being steps to the beach made daily walks along the water and shell searching with kids my favorite part of our trip. House was very clean and felt safe. House is well stocked for cooking, bring your own condiments if you plan on a longer stay. Hosts were very responsive. Finding the house was a little difficult as the garage is on a different street but we quickly figured it out. Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous, Remodeled Five Bedroom OB Family Home

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 213 reviews1 week ago

Really enjoyed our stay this past weekend. We wanted something that was within walking distance to the beach and Rob’s place was perfect for that. A couple of other reviews had mentioned the floors being dirty- I did notice my the soles of my feet would turn black after a short period of walking around barefoot- but the floors didn’t feel dirty to me, so not sure if maybe the darker floor coloring contributes to that or what. I believe a couple of other reviews also mentioned the nighttime street noise, but it didn’t bother me enough to notice it; We had asked about earlier check in and they were able to accommodate a check in at 2:30pm instead of 4:00pm which was much appreciated :)

We had a wonderful stay at James’s place! From the beginning, James was a very responsible and responsive host. We had a few requests during our stay, and he addressed them promptly and kindly, which made our experience even smoother. The house itself was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed. It truly felt like a home away from home for our family. The attention to detail and the cozy ambiance made our trip even more enjoyable. Thank you, James, for your warm hospitality. We really appreciate the care you put into making our stay comfortable. Looking forward to staying at your place again in the future!

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 200 reviews3 months ago

My friend and I (and our 2 doggos) needed a place to stay at the last minute given the LA fires and concerns for our safety. I can’t tell you how lucky we were to find Meiluen’s place - even extenuating circumstances aside, this property is an absolute gem in an amazing area that is wonderfully walkable and safe. Not only was it exactly as advertised, but it was also easy to find and remarkably clean and comfortable, made that much more so with all the thoughtful detail put into the stay. As a host, Meiluen was flexible, communicative, proactive and kind and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. She really helped us out during a difficult time and made an evacuation feel more like a staycation. I’d recommend this listing to anyone looking for a beautiful introduction to Ocean Beach and I can guarantee you won’t want to leave. Thank you!!
