921 Beach Cottage-Hottest location in San Diego
Cute beach cottage with a fantastic location! Just a couple blocks from the beach, but very quiet and no noise issues. We arrived on a Tuesday, and there happens to be a really nice farmers’ market that was just a half block from the house. Excellent communication from the host at every step of the way!

Swanky Casa Ocean Beach 1 Blk to Beach w A/C
This beach house is well set up for a beach vacation. It is close to the beach and walkable to many restaurants and coffee shops. Please be aware (we were not) that every Wednesday in Ocean Beach there is a market and a huge party on the streets with abundant drinking and pot smoking. That was not our scene and surprising to get stuck in the middle of it. Joshua has well supplied the home with every you need for a beach trip - wagon, chairs, surfboards, boogies boards and more. We appreciated the thoughtfulness of all these items. Also, note that there are no locks on any of the interior doors - neither bedroom or bathroom so privacy is a bit limited in the home. That being said, it fit our family well.

Charming Coastal Cottage Windansea Beach Walkable
Very charming home and Meghan was a great host. She had recommendations printed, baby gear, and even some beverages for us to enjoy! She was responsive and made check out incredibly easy as we had a very early flight home. The neighborhood was great and had a lot to offer! Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone, especially families!

Mission Beach Family Paradise. Beach & Bay fun
Excellent spot between bay and ocean. Great to be able to use bikes and boogie boards. The patio is a lovely place to grill and eat and relax on cool mornings. Mark and family are an excellent host, very responsive, great tips on local places to check out.

NEW Steps to Sand Cozy 2 Bdrm for 6 w/office area
Very nice place. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and relaxing to be in. Tastefully decorated and really allowed one to settle right in to the beach vibe. Conveniently located steps away from the beach itself, or a 2 min walk to the bay, and near many great places to grab coffee, lunch, and cocktails, and of course all the fun and exciting things to do outdoors. Definitely recommend Cheyann's place when visiting San Diego!

Pippi's Paradise cottage 1 block to the beach w/AC
I loved this cottage, it’s location, and our experience. The exterior: private, behind a wooden fence steps away from the sidewalk, with the cutest succulent garden with some tasteful décor. The interior: meticulously curated vintage and retro-style pieces, always something to look at, I appreciate that it wasn’t an IKEA bulk order but a lot of love and care and personality. And it’s SO clean and doesn’t feel cluttered at all! I loved the round yellow bathroom tile, the kitchen sink, the leather chair and ottoman in the living room. So many gems all around. Katrina was a gem herself!!! My toddler got sick (yuck) in bed the first night, and K came to our rescue the next morning with new linens, completely kindhearted and understanding. Related- the free laundry was a godsend to have with a kid, and to simply not have to pack a ton! And the beach gear, stocked supplies in the cabinets, they thought of everything! ❤️

Beach Shag * Footsteps from the Sand + Bikes
Absolutely loved my stay here! The place was spotless and had everything I needed—including a garage that fit my mid-size car perfectly, which was such a bonus. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by amazing local food spots. Communication with the host was smooth and prompt, from check-in to check-out, and they were super helpful with any questions I had. Would definitely stay here again!

Luxury 4-Bed Home - Fantastic Views 15-min from DT
I cannot say enough about this place. I loved staying here and would 1000% stay again. Everything was spotless, the view was amazing, I’ve never been more relaxed and at peace. They have everything you could need,everything was thoughtfully put together. If I could give it 10 stars I would.
