Family-friendly vacation rentals in Old Town, San Diego

Standout location and really charming beach cottage with great amenities. Our family really enjoyed our stay and the kids are already asking when we can return!

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.

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.

The house was so cute and spacious, comfy couch and beds, and cute private yard with a hot tub. We had a wedding in La Jolla and then stayed a week in the OB neighborhood. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit SD. Super walkable, beautiful neighborhood and about 4 blocks from the beach.

What a gem! We liked Scott's place so much we ended up staying there twice in a short period of time. Secluded, comfortable, immaculate, and located in a safe neighborhood. Scott was responsive with all questions I had. This studio was nicely appointed with plenty of natural light. The garage as well as washer/dryer were convenient. The patio had a beautiful view of the beach as well as La Jolla off in the distance. Highly recommend this 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.

Comfortable home with all the amenities. Close walking distance to beaches and restaurants. Quiet, friendly neighborhood.

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!

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.

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.

We had a wonderful stay! I loved how chill and welcoming Russell was! Super helpful anytime I messaged. We really enjoyed having our dog be able to come with us. Other places I looked at that said they were dog friendly had paragraphs about what the dogs could and couldn’t do and I felt like having my dog at that location would be anxiety producing to keep all the rules. This place actually felt dog friendly. Lots of restuants near by had patios where dogs were welcome also. Having parking on property, off the street was a great bonus. We liked being close to everything, even downtown, but far enough that we didn’t have to deal with St Patrick’s weekend partiers. I was able to run with my dog through the neighborhoods and around the park and felt safe. The larger bed was comfortable (we didn’t use the other so can’t speak for that one). The darkening curtains were a plus since the house has great natural lighting.

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.

Great location and space for a weekend in San Diego! Aaron was super quick to respond and the check-in was very easy.

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.

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

Wonderful place, fantastic hosts. Brought my dog to the ocean for his birthday and they left dog treats on the table AND cat toys since we were traveling with one. Above and beyond thoughtfulness! Clean, everything you need. 20 min walk to dog beach and to main strip of town. YARD WAS PRICELESS. Would stay again any time. Thanks so much!

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.

We had an amazing stay at Vanessa’s place! The location was perfect - the bay is a block away and we could easily drive to restaurants and San Diego attractions. The pool and hot tub were spectacular and perfect for our daughter. We paid to have the pool heated and it meant we could swim everyday and be comfortable. The house layout was great for us and our two kiddos and we loved all the extras the house had to keep kiddos busy. Lots of books, toys, scooters, bikes, balls, etc. that we really appreciated having access to. As others have mentioned the house is older so the floors are squeaky - but with two young kids we don’t expect to sleep in. The couches are also well loved and could use an update. Overall we had an amazing stay and hope we can stay again the next time we visit!

Beautiful and peaceful home. Would definitely come back. Jeffery responds quick if anything is needed 🤩

Teri was super friendly and responsive- even brought us extra cosy blankets! Well located and easy/ fast to drive anywhere. Great stay, would recommend her place!

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!

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.

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.

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.
