Newly updated 2bed Apartment
it was very relaxing i enjoyed our stay very cozy and everything was up to date and cleannn

Cute & Cozy, walk to beach/village, king beds
We spent three nights at Judy’s place and felt right at home. She was quick to respond to any questions and easy to communicate with from the time of booking until check-out. The kitchen had everything you’d need to make home cooked meals including many spices/condiments. All of the spaces were clean and well stocked. The cottage has great walkability and is only a couple of minutes walk to the beach. We had a great time and are glad we had this place to come back to after our long days out and about.

Luxury Apartment in upscale area
Such a lovely and comfortable apartment. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs, we cooked several meals. The neighborhood is pleasant and quiet. Plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. About 30 mins to san diego downtown and airport. Similar price to a hotel room and 4x the space. The shower is grand! Hosts were lovely. Thank you John and Laura.

Oceanview Oasis w/ Hot Tub, Walk to Beach + Dtown
I had the pleasure of staying at this incredible oceanside rental for five weeks, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach, making morning strolls and sunset walks so convenient and enjoyable. The home itself is absolutely beautiful, with a stylish interior and every amenity you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The balcony and hot tub were standout features, offering a perfect spot to relax and soak in the breathtaking views. Watching the sunrise and sunset from the property was an unforgettable experience. The hosts clearly put thought into every detail, ensuring the rental feels like a true home away from home. I highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a perfect oceanside getaway! 🌊✨

Quiet Top floor resort room with private room
We enjoyed staying at Robyn's place for the weekend. It was exactly like the photos and had plenty of room for the 2 of us. It was very easy to check-in and Robyn was great at responding to us.

La Jolla Windansea Luxury Cottage
Beautiful unit, location, and great hosts. We would love to return!

New 1 bed apart | private garage | EV charger
Amazing place to stay. Quiet and kind of hidden. Not far from the main street. Elaine was super helpful and remained in contact with me throughout my stay to ensure everything was up to par!

La Jolla Cottage at Marine Street
Such a wonderful cottage in La Jolla. A quick 20 minute walk to all of the lovely downtown La Jolla restaurants, and even shorter to the beach! Jeremy and Kerry were very responsive and kind. Would absolutely recommend that you stay here for a quick (or long!) La Jolla stint. If we find ourselves back in La Jolla, we’ll definitely check to see if this place is available. Thank you for everything, Jeremy and Kerry! (And p.s. - sorry about the wine glass!) :)
Private apartment rentals

SD Getaway - Boho Studio, Spacious Yard w/ BBQ
Our stay at Nathan’s was great! We loved the quiet, safe location near Mission Bay. It is 1 block from the extensive bike paths through out the bay and over to Pacific and Mission Beaches. It is a simple studio, but is well equipped with everything you need, including a washer/dryer. The thick towels and nice linens were great! We enjoyed having the private backyard patio to relax with our old dog, and used the parking space as well. The location is close to restaurants in PB and also close to the freeway to get to other sights in San Diego. We extended our stay several times and were able to communicate easily with Nathan, Adam and their management team. We hope to come back again! Thank you Nathan!

Tower 9 A
This is a wonderful place! It was perfect for two couples celebrating the birthday of one of us -- with two separate bedrooms, each with its bathroom. It will also be great for a larger family. There is an upper deck from which you can see the ocean, which is perfect for a relaxing morning coffee and/or cheerful happy hour. We were steps away from the water and did not miss the spectacular sunsets from Tower #9. The well-equipped kitchen allowed for the preparation of fully cooked meals, and the dining table was beautiful, which allowed us to fully enjoy those meals. We love Oceanside and really hope to return soon and stay close to Tower #9 again!

PB Beachside Getaway-PARKING included!
We spent 13 nights at Angela’s while visiting our daughter in PB. The apartment is very comfortable with a cute beach theme. Bed was comfortable and shower great. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Angela had excellent communication and rules and apartment use guidelines were very clear. The location was fantastic for walking to the ocean, great coffee, bakery and restaurants nearby. I highly recommend Angela’s apartment and hope to stay again!

Classy Retreat 4850B
Great place to stay. Very clean and had everything we needed.

Lovely 1-bedroom by the beach with free parking
Our third extended stay with Gloria and Mari. Great hosts and excellent location - less than two blocks from the beach and easy walk to the Village. Lovely area, friendly folks with lots of fun shops, restaurants, or just walking on the beach. Apartment was great for the two of us, everything you need, clean and comfy. New improvements made during the last three years are nice and off-street parking is a bonus. Our winter home for sure!

1 bedroom apt // BEACH ACCESS // Unit B
Absolutely book this condo—you won't regret it! The host is fantastic, the condo is stunning, and the location is breathtaking. You'll be grateful you made this choice! We can’t wait to come back.

Pet Friendly Apartment with Backyard Near Beach
Mel was the best host I’ve had! We asked if they had a tea kettle and she quickly amazoned it. The space is great value and the outdoor area is such a treat.

2BD Comfy Aptmnt- Pacific Beach
The host was very kind and responded to all questions in a timely manner. Was also very accommodating and allowed us to leave our luggage in the garage until our flight time. The place was nice and clean, we also loved the mini patio outside.
Apartment rentals with a hot tub

Cute, clean private studio. Close to the beach!
This place was great. Amazing location right off the 5, clean and quiet! Dave was a wonderful host, communicative, kind, and made check-in and out a breeze. The Cardiff Seaside Market is perfect for grabbing lunch for the beach. Thank you so much! See you next time!

Ranch View Suite
This was such a beautiful and comfortable stay. I will definitely stay here again. very close to everything. incredibly friendly host.

Luxurious La Costa Condo!
This was a last minute staycation and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating. The unit was clean and well stocked. Large bathroom with a great tub and steam shower. The property has a few dining choices and is nice to walk around. Very safe and quiet area.

HotTub Private Deck Ocean View bikes 5starpromise
The condo was awesome! Walkable to a lot of restaurants and shops and great communication throughout our stay. Would definitely stay again!

Heated Pool | Hot Tub | Cozy Home w 1Br
Stay was great , amazing host and will definitely be staying their again

Resort style beach vacation
Hard to find the HOA office upon first visit, but once you check in with security it was very easy. Great location, nice unit for an older complex, and prime area extremely close to the beach. Key pick up and drop off was simple, however the parking for this specific unit is very very tight. Thankfully our rental car was small, but it was between a support column and the wall. We loved that that they had chairs, beach equipment and towels available. We had a great stay and would recommend this unit for your stay in Oceanside. Conveniently located to Legoland (15 mins w/ traffic) and very close to some very excellent restaurants.

Bright 2Bd/1ba Beach Apartment
Perfect location one block from the ocean! Apartment was very cozy and hot tub was very clean and the perfect temperature. Also a very walkable area. Had the best time!

San Diego country getaway, views & spa
Linda was very proactive in her communication - we had a late arrival, and Linda left a light on for us and provided precise instructions for entry. Linda reached out to see how our stay was going and even dropped some tangerines off for us to enjoy. We will stay again in the future if available
