Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Mission Beach, San Diego

This was our second stay at Aaron’s Airbnb, and once again, it was perfect for our family — myself, my parents, and my two young kids. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made cooking meals easy, and the beds were super comfortable. Heating and cooling worked great, and everything was spotless when we arrived. We especially loved the private patio — such a great space to relax. The location is incredible: close to shops and restaurants, yet tucked away in a quiet area, and just one block from the beach. There were so many thoughtful extras, too, like beach chairs, toys, and board games that made the stay even more enjoyable. Aaron is a fantastic host — friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this Airbnb and can’t wait to come back!

Home was great overall. Hosts were very responsive to our messages. I guess the previous guests tore up the couch so we didn’t really have enough seats for everyone to sit and we had to sit on the floor to watch tv at night but they let us know that there was a new couch on the way so shouldn’t be an issue for the next guest. The only negative about the house is the parking. On busy nights you might have to park a couple streets away.

I stayed at this Airbnb with my mom and our 3 dogs. It was very cozy and at such a great location. The front porch/grassy area was our (and the dogs) favorite spot to relax. A very quick walk to dog beach and some yummy breakfast spots (highly recommend Benedict’s). Overall very relaxing stay and we would return. Only downside was the neighbors fire alarm kept going off early in the morning but that’s out of everyone’s control; the bed is also very tall, may need a step stool if you’re short lol.

Second time staying here! Will continue to come back. Like the peaceful quiet group of the three bungalows that are gated off. Added bonus this time of parking in garage.

We had a lovely stay at Chris’ Airbnb. It’s a lovely, very clean and well furnished home. It is small but worked perfectly for the 2 of us. It’s located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Chris is a very responsive host and has thought of almost all the amenities a guest might need. We will certainly stay here again

We came for a short trip. Here are our pros: great parking space for your car which is gated and can fit up to two, there is a lot of space and 5+ people can sleep in here comfortably. If you need a safe and private place to stay with family then this is a great affordable options. Our cons: the electrical outlets did not seem to work on the bottom floor in the bedroom, we had an issue with the shower not functioning which was not helpful when everyone needed to shower, the upstairs gets very hot even with the fans we had to sleep with the windows open because of the heat. These are things that are fixable, overall it is a good place to stay at.

We had a fantastic stay here. The location was excellent—so close to the beach, coffee shops, and restaurants in both mission beach and pacific beach. We had 6 adults staying and didn’t feel cramped. We especially enjoyed sitting on the patio. We had no problem parking a Honda civic and Kia sportage side by side. The host was very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Zina’s place is great like always! Not far from the airport. Private and safe felt right at home. Absolutely love staying here!

Wonderful home and lovely amenities/views! We found everything comfortable and totally enjoyable too.

We loved the house and pool, it was clean and spacious. Brian was helpful and communicative and we ran into no issues. Thank you again for everything.

Wonderful location, 12-14 minutes or less to everything we wanted to do. Expansive patio and pool area. Bedroom layout worked okay for our group of five - three adults and two kids. Property managers were very responsive when we contacted them. The house was spotless. We were there for two weeks and never ran out of things to do in San Diego and environs. We’ll be back.

House was clean and comfortable. Check in and check out went smoothly. Communication was great with the owner. Perfectly accommodated our family and location was great. We loved that Better Buzz was within walking distance for a coffee! Grocery store and restaurants also close by. Would highly recommend this rental!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The host was responsive to any questions we had. The home was clean and accommodating. There were great features in the home including generous offerings of subscription services such as TV, music and video games. The host is also generous with pool and hot tub heating at our discretion and leisure up until quiet hours. The pool and hot tub and cabana were clean and made our stay very fun. Another great feature of this home is the overall vibe and vinyl records and whole house Sonos. The home is nicely equipped with lots of towels, full kitchen, games, and even a puzzle with all the pieces! The home is private. We were also able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay at this location again and plan to look at other options offered by this host.

Our family had the best stay at Bruce’s place. It’s a beautifully maintained property and so relaxing yet many activities to do! The kids loved the pool and ping pong tables, the fire pit for s’mores, pool, but especially the “outdoor living room” with a tv to watch movies or listen to music. We can’t wait to return! It’s a great property that is perfect for large groups- from families, bachelors or bachelorette parties, girls get away, etc.

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

The home was beautiful. It was a great please for a family of 8. Great location to relax at home and to get out and enjoy San Diego. The host was very responsive and would stay again.

We had an awesome stay at Rich and Adrienne’s cozy place with 2 young kids. The house was super well organized and very clean. We were able to find everything we needed. The beds were very comfy, with good quality sheets, towels were good quality too. Rich and Adrienne live right next door but the place felt very private. Easy walk to the beach, and a short walk to really nice restaurants. Outdoor shower was great when walking back from the beach. Even though the weather was foggy during our stay, we still were able to enjoy OB and had a great time!

I stayed in Gabe's Airbnb with 5 of my cousins for a week! The location was great - Trader Joe's and a cute bagel/coffee shop was literally a 5 minute walk from the house. We made multiple trips throughout the week. Gabe was super helpful and responsive when anything happened. We did get locked out somehow one time, and he was able to get us in and resolve the issue within 10 minutes through his Ring camera. The fridge and kitchen were stocked well and we were able to use the stove without problems. The one thing I will mention is the living room area is a bit smaller than I expected. It was difficult for all 6 of us to sit at the same time to watch a movie or play games, but we all had more than enough space for sleeping, and to store our belongings. The hot tub was definitely a huge highlight of the place! It is shared with the neighbors but they were never using it while we were there!

Here's a possible Airbnb review: This hidden villa was a fantastic find! The location was perfect – close to all the best that San Diego has to offer. We were able to easily explore the city's attractions and restaurants. The enclosed yard was private and relaxing. And the swing? It was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventures. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in SD!"

Zachary was very accommodating and easy to work with. The house was great and for our needs perfectly.

We have stayed with Lisa multiple times in the past year. It’s like a home away from home. Very easy to get to and convenient to visiting friends and family. Very quiet neighborhood and cozy place inside.

This was a great place to stay. The backyard was a great hang out spot and the location is prime. Also the bedding and pillows felt really nice and expensive!

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!

We had an amazing little staycation over the weekend at the Violet Oasis. Extremely clean, the bed was so comfy we never wanted to leave, both parking locations easy to find and Elizabeth and Paola were super responsive. Rather than feel like we were staying at an Airbnb it felt like staying over at a friend’s place. Their passion responding to their guests, making them feel at home and providing information on what to do in the area really shows in this listing. We will be back!
