Family-friendly home rentals with a hot tub

2300+ Sq Ft Brand New Home with Amazing Views!
Alain’s place was great for my friends and I visiting for a long weekend. The house is exactly as described with plenty of space for all 5 of us to stay comfortably. The patios and hot tub were private despite being in a close proximity to neighbors. Walkable to the beach/boardwalk and plenty of restaurants. Alain was flexible and communicated with us before during and after the stay to ensure we were good to go. He even left us a welcome gift of delicious donuts! Would highly recommend for others looking to stay in the Mission area.

La Jolla Windansea Paradise Two
Great location. It's near a surfer beach, but if you're comfy with the ocean, it's a great hang. Also, within about 10m of the main La Jolla Beach which is superb. Cy has all your needs for a great beach stay: boogie board, umbrella, towels, chairs, sand mat, toys. Close location to some decent food. Cy communicates quickly and thoroughly, but otherwise stays out of your way. Place was very clean with a cool shower head. Neighbors in the apartment were very friendly as well. Would absolutely recommend for a beach stay.

STUNNING MANSION THE BEST LOCATION & AMENITIES
Ricardo's house was very nice and really clean! We appreciated to water that was in the fridge and having designated parking was a plus! I did not see in the description that this was a multiple unit rental property, I thought it was a single family home. Luckily we only had one day where we heard the people next to us.

Coastal Craftsman, Walk to Beach, Hot Tub
Awesome place! Walking distance to everything OB has to offer. The hot tub is amazing after a long day of walking/beach. So many good restaurants/bars nearby. The host is very helpful and has put together a great beach house, can’t wait to go back next year

Cozy Casita
It was a very lovely the chest board was awesome and it was very private and Mr Jeff was and is a very QUICK responder and respectful and with a lot of care and concern.

Kick Back in the Hot Tub at a Calm, Coastal-Themed Oasis
Comfortable home with all the amenities. Close walking distance to beaches and restaurants. Quiet, friendly neighborhood.

San Diego Beach Retreat: Wake up to waves!
We had a great stay at Larry’s place! The house is very clean and has all the amenities one might need. Our favorite place to hang out was the patio - you can see the sunsets right from the hot tub. Great location too, close to so many restaurants and walking distance to Belmont Park. The host was available to answer any questions and provided all the necessities and more. The garage had many beach toys available and we enjoyed flying the butterfly kite! Would definitely stay here again!

Glamping @ Eden East
We enjoyed our stay in the yome!
Family- and pet-friendly home rentals

South Park Pet Friendly Bungalow
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.

BBQ Grill, 5 mins to DT, Canyon Views, Parking
Nice, quiet stay that is super convenient walking distance to the San Diego Zoo. Host was very friendly and informative during our stay and made us feel right at home. Would definitely recommend a stay if you’re planning on visiting the surrounding attractions.

Family and Pet Friendly Beach Bungalow
I had a really comfortable stay and the location was great. The host responded to my requests right away. I had a great time.

OB Beach House, 3.5 blocks to beach, A/C
Great location to be near my daughter who lives near there. Fully stocked kitchen! Very clean. Good parking. Very communicative owner. Very clean. Comfy beds. Good cable tv. Overall, we are very satisfied. The price is very steep esp with all the added taxes and fees from the company. But that’s not because of the owner. I will rent again next year, too.

Charming Private Mission Bay Studio 1
Great location and space for a weekend in San Diego! Aaron was super quick to respond and the check-in was very easy.

Hidden Beach Oasis, 2 Blks to Sand, A/C, Pets Ok!
We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed sitting around the fire in the evenings. There was plenty of space for our group. The water was hot and lasted through 7 showers each morning. Very close to everything and easy to get around.

Kensington Classic/Historic Tudor - Fully Licensed
This was a great find for us. We were in town to see our new Grandson and this was perfect. After spending all day with our daughter, son-in-law and grandson we often had dinner in Kensington that was conveniently located. The bathroom, bedroom and kitchen were all wonderful. It was great having fresh fruit, coffee and cookies when we arrived. Olga’s son Alex let us in and did a great job helping us understand everything. We def will be back

⭐️Entire 2 BR Home! Yard with deck/BBQ/AC/parking🚗
The yard is just gorgeous! We had a great stay and Mike and Tania were super responsive to any questions - they really went above and beyond!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Lovely Guesthouse in garden setting
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.

Private 3 bedroom block to Bay New Pool Spa, Bikes
Vanessa was very communicative & answered any questions right away. The location is PERFECT! A short walk to the beach. The house had so much for our kiddos to do & was fully equipped! Definitely kid friendly. The kitchen had everything you could need! The pool and hot tub were beautiful & clean! The downfall to the hot tub, is you have to turn it on an hour before you use it each time. I believe it’s new so they’re still working out some kinks with the buttons. Vanessa was helpful with this though. There are also apartment complexes that look down into the yard, so not much privacy. I would rate this a 5, but there are a few cons. We had 8 people in our group, 3 being children. Thankfully we were all family so we snuggled in, but I think it’s more like a 6 person house or you are on small cots. You’re kind of on top of each other. The floors are creaky so no sleeping in once someone is awake & the furniture could use some updating. It was torn. Overall the location makes it 5 stars

Views - Quiet Mt. Helix Home - Pool -Sleeps 11
Beautiful and peaceful home. Would definitely come back. Jeffery responds quick if anything is needed 🤩

Eco-Friendly Mount Soledad Pad with Views and Heated Pool
This house was a great spot for our family and friends! The living space was very spacious and the kids loved the pool! Convenient location to get around and enjoy all San Diego has to offer. Jesse was quick to respond and clarify any questions we had!

Lionhead - Private Boutique Home
Great location. Pool and hot tub as advertised. Good value. Could use a little sprucing up cosmetically (scuffed walls) and the TV's were a little confusing (lots of remotes, no instructions). But overall an excellent stay. Would book again. Highly recommend.

Charming Suite in Historic Home
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.

Law Street Retreat
Love our stay atTiggs home. Was amazing dogs got to swim. We walked to the beach rode by to pickle ball all around great trip.

Private, large granny flat and outdoor oasis
Micki was a terrific host! She provided lightning fast communication, clear instructions, and helpful recommendations. The flat was cozy, the beds (including the sleeper sofa) were VERY comfortable. And the deck, pool, and hot tub were simply amazing. I HIGHLY recommend her Airbnb, and should we ever return to San Diego, we will stay with her again without hesitation. Our stay—from start to finish—was perfect! Thank you, Micki, for a fantastic stay!
