We had a great stay at Nick's place! The location was excellent and just a few minutes walk to the beach, where we watched the sunset every night. it was also easy to walk to the pier. There were several tasty restaurants right across the street and many more in walking distance. The place was spacious and well kept. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals.

*3 Blocks to Beach w/ Beach Gear, Private Backyard

MichelleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Lauren’s place was a beautiful place for my family. My kids loved the playground in the backyard. We appreciated all of the beach supplies that Lauren provided. Also, the baby supplies were greatly appreciated so we didn’t have to bring them with us. Lauren thought of everything. We admired all of the different plants Lauren had growing in the home. We all felt at home and enjoyed the clean and welcoming space.

Kamilo's cottage was absolutely perfect. From the locally grown snacks to the beautiful plants all around, we really felt like we were in California! It was just as described, cozy, but really a perfect amount of space, especially with the very private and completely fenced outdoor area for the dogs. A quick drive to the beach as well as the highway to get you anywhere else! would definitely stay again!

My girlfriends and I enjoyed a lovely weekend at Mimi's beach cottage. The place had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend. Easy walk into cute Carlsbad village where we enjoyed a day of candle making and shopping and dinner. Hopped on the coaster and headed into downtown San Diego for wine tasting, dinner and shopping.

Ocean View - Ultimate Beach Adventure!

CandiceRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The proximity to the beach is really the best part of the house. Being steps to the beach made daily walks along the water and shell searching with kids my favorite part of our trip. House was very clean and felt safe. House is well stocked for cooking, bring your own condiments if you plan on a longer stay. Hosts were very responsive. Finding the house was a little difficult as the garage is on a different street but we quickly figured it out. Would definitely stay here again.

(Relist!) Relax at a Stunning 1931 Historic Tudor!

JeffreyRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay in San Diego! Our group consisted of four adults and one toddler, and the home was perfect for our needs. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spacious, clean, and comfortable the house was. The layout offered plenty of room for everyone to spread out, yet it still felt warm and cozy. One of the most delightful surprises was the two small steps that lead into the kitchen area. They became the perfect little training ground for our toddler to practice walking, which made for some unforgettable moments. It was the perfect size to challenge him without being too difficult. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and we especially loved the stove, which made cooking breakfast every morning a joy. There was so much space, and it really felt like home away from home. Whether we were cooking or just relaxing, we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Overall, this home was a fantastic choice
