We had a wonderful stay at Emily’s home. The house was so clean and the backyard was a perfect place to chill and enjoy the sun. It was perfect for the 3 of us. Great location to be able to walk to the beach or to town. We were there on a Wednesday and attended the OB farmers market. Delicious food!

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.

My group of friends fly in from around the US twice a year to a different location every time. We hang out and play DnD mostly, but we also like to connect with the local scene. This place was absolutely perfect - soooo much room, and all of it comfy, a huge dining room table, a great kitchen, plenty of parking, quiet and safe, central to the night light, very clean and well stocked amenities (towels, dishes, blankets, pillows, etc), and a super adorable cat named cookie monster that befriended all of us!

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!

Carlos was a great host, replied promptly to our questions. The whole place was really clean when we arrived, and it was exactly how it was described on the pictures. Pet friendly without the massive restrictions as other rentals. Walking distance to Belmont Park, restaurants, bars and the beach. Great location and we will definitely book this place again when we come back.

Danielle's place is exactly as described. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and although it is street parking, there was never a problem parking right in front of the house. You will have everything you need for an enjoyable stay and it is very clean. OB and Dog Beach are very close. There are plenty of restaurants nearby within a minute or two drive. I will definitely rent here again if it is available.

We absolutely loved this cottage. It is just as the pictures and description states. We could not have asked for a more thoughtfully stocked home. The location is wonderful. It is within walking distance of the beach, tons of restaurants, and shops. The neighborhood feels very safe. We would stay here again.

Comfortable and Spacious PB Townhouse

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 172 reviews3 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.

Gorgeous, Remodeled Five Bedroom OB Family Home

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 212 reviews2 weeks 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 :)

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!!

Exclusive Mission Hills: Views, Breezes & Sunsets

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 121 reviews3 days ago

Jaime’s house exceeded our expectations. The location was stunning and the house was spacious and had everything we needed. We are a family of five, and it was nice to be able to spread out, relax and enjoy a space that felt like home. We did not have a car but found the location was fairly close to most San Diego attractions. It is a short walk down to Old Town which has lots of eateries and the transit station, where you can catch the trolley and buses. We used Uber too. Jaime provided lots of great ideas for places to go and was friendly, prompt and easy to communicate with.
