Apartment in Pacific Beach
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 107 reviewsPrivate 2BD Apt + 1Min to Beach + Parking
We loved our stay at this property. The bunk room for the kids was large and had plenty of space. The bathroom was very clean and modern -- great shower :) The location was perfect for us -- walkable to all the beaches around the bay and an easy 5-10 minute drive to everything else we wanted to do. Super safe neighborhood. Mary and Tony were extremely welcoming and helpful. One of our best stays ever!

Nice property by the beach and bay! The room is clean and cozy, and the host let us borrow the bikes! In addition, the host has provided very useful recommendations about where to have fun activities and delicious restaurants. Definitely gonna go there again!
Apartment in Mission Beach
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 245 reviewsThe Ultimate Cozy Beach Apartment
I Can't say enough about Tracey's place; it was clean, well stocked, and a great location. Easily walkable to plenty of breakfast/lunch places and a few dinner spots. Belmont Park and all its activities are an 8 minute walk. Beach is a short jaunt across Mission boulevard and the Bay is even closer. It is a little warm for sleeping with no A/C but when the living room door is open there's a great cross breeze!! The planes do fly above early in the am, but there's earplugs on the nightstand that we took full advantage of. Great local spots nearby; the Beachcomber bar is one block away with dueling pianos on Thursdays; super fun local hangout!! Parking spot is tight; we had a Toyota Camry and it fit snugly so just be aware of your car size! Highly recommend this spot to anyone considering it!!

We really enjoyed our stay here during “off season.” The weather was still beautiful every day, fully clear skies and amazing sunsets. The cabin itself was perfect. The bed was comfortable and we really appreciated the large bath towels. I ended up booking a rental car the night of our flight and I’m glad I did. We had no trouble parking on pacific beach drive, except for Saturday night, we had to drive down where the library is to find a spot. Nevertheless, it’s only about an 8 minute walk at most.

Excellent property, very clean, clear check in instructions, and a nice private yard. Can’t beat a few blocks to the beach and 5 minute walk to The Taco Stand, 12 min walk to Trilogy Sanctuary, and other great Italian restaurants. Lots of healthy options nearby, smoothies and salads etc. 15 min walk to downtown. 2 parking spots. Safe neighborhood. Cool ocean breezes. AC works quickly and is strong. They even have a Pokestop next door at the church to refill your Pokeballs :) Perfect for 2 people. Would live here if I could! Thanks!

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 142 reviewsPacific Beach House w/ Ocean View & Big Roof Deck
We stayed here for Thanksgiving week with my parents, siblings, and children. It felt like the perfect place for a family to stay in San Diego. Very quiet neighborhood, but still walkable to some good restaurants and a short drive to so many parts of SD. The rooftop deck was great for sunset views and the kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, and toolds for cooking with. Matt was very responsive any time I had a question. We would definitely stay here again.
Home in North Ocean Beach
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 483 reviewsSwanky Casa Ocean Beach 1 Blk to Beach w A/C
The location is wonderful, an easy walk right to Ocean beach, great bars and restaurants nearby. The outdoor patio spaces in the front and back of the unit are excellent additions and really adds to the experience. The unit itself is pretty much as described, linens and furniture are clean, kitchen is well laid out and has everything you would need. Heated toilet seats are a major plus. The only downside is parking, you can always find parking but probably have to park a few blocks away. This is typical for this part of the neighborhood, especially being so close to the beach. I knew what I was getting into so it’s not a problem for me. I would gladly rent here again

Thanks for a great couple days at Mission Beach. We were so close to the bay and the ocean with lots of toys and boards available for the kids. Very clean bathrooms and kitchen and we were able to relax right away. Walkable to restaurants, groceries and coffee for breakfast. Fit our family of 5 nicely. Thanks!

I love Ocean beach and especially dog beach. This place was in the middle of it all one block from the beach one block from Dog Beach and two blocks from the middle of town if you want to park your car and hang out with your dog, this is the perfect place. Our host were extremely responsive to any question we had. The washer and dryer was great and we really enjoyed the back patio. Five stars. Highly recommended!!

We were travelling from Australia. Found it to be a centrally located Airbnb with superb views and close to good food venues. Made good use of the bikes in the garage, cycling around Mission Bay. Kitchen appliances included a pod coffee machine which was much appreciated. Clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Swathi was a great host…one of the best we’ve worked with. The unit was clean, well organized and her attention to detail was very impressive. She made it felt like we were staying with family. Kitchen appliances were new and very modern, the unit was spotless. The views of the ocean are exactly as the pictures show. You are literally on the boardwalk and with the windows open can hear the waves. Incredibly peaceful. Highly recommend and will be going back.

What a wonderful stay I had visiting our college student! Chris met us early for easy check in. The view and sunsets were outstanding, place was extremely clean and included many extras like fresh fruits, chilled wine and beach blankets and chairs. The linens were super soft, wonderful bath towels and well appointed bathroom… just nothing negative to say! Location was great, felt private and right on the beach and close to many restaurants. Easy parking too! Great find and we will definitely be back! Thank you!

We loved our stay at Stephanie’s house in San Diego! I would highly recommend her place - a fabulous host, gorgeous and clean place, and a wonderful location. The house itself was pristine, the shared outdoor spaces helped to make the place feel like home. Everything on the property was immaculately maintained. Stephanie was very attentive, anticipating our needs and questions and contacting us before we needed to get in touch. She provided plenty of helpful information and was available any time, in case we needed anything. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything one could need for a short or long stay. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious. We had everything we needed for our baby too, making this a perfect place for a family getaway. We will definitely be back!
