La Jolla Beach House-Family Focused-3min to Beach

MeghanneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a fantastic week in La Jolla! John’s place was charming, spotless, and perfect for our family. The home was well-stocked with thoughtful amenities—including beach gear—and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The location is unbeatable: a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood within a few minutes walking distance to the beach, great restaurants, coffee shops, and more. John was a friendly and responsive host who made everything easy from start to finish. Honestly could not have asked for a better host. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing, convenient stay in La Jolla. We’d love to come back!

Kids Love Us! Legoland Home With A Pool

EmmanuelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Amazing experience. Vi’s place was homey beyond expectation. My wife was very impressed with how available everything was especially in the kitchen because we are a family of 6 and always eating out would have not been cost effective. We felt right at home. My wife especially loved the complementary fruits, water, and treats. The kids rooms were packed with toys and books they could read and play with in their spare time which was amazing. The living room was filled with board games for the entire family. The garage also had amazing games for the entire family with foldable chairs and equipment for the beach and camping. There was so much to do in the house that staying in was not in the slightest boring. The entire family enjoyed the pool and the spa and had an amazing time especially on the days we stayed in. I certainly would be booking Vi’s place again anytime we are in San Diego.

Bamboo Lake House-Tropical paradise & LOTS OF FUN

ColeRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Overall fantastic stay! House owner lives on property but the house is secluded just for house guest use. An incident happened where my daughter had an accident during nap time and Kathleen responded quickly and helped us with the change of bedding.

Family Beach Bungalows - Steps to beach & Village!

DonaldRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Rarely do we ever return to a place we've stayed at before because we just want to make new memories and be open to new things. This place has been the exception, we couldn't wait to come back! We stayed at the Blue Ocean Cottage in May of 2024 and had such a great time that we did it again May of 2025! The proximity to the beach, the village and the quiet neighborhood can't be beat. This has been the perfect place for our family to spend time together, making dinner and playing games. Beach is so close, it's easy to pop over anytime. Grandparents (my wife and I) loved the cottage out back where we could have some quiet time to ourselves. The kids (twenty somethings) and grandchild equally enjoyed have their "own" space in the main house. Property is only 15 minutes from Oceanside harbor where we went on a whale/dolphin watch, which I can't recommend enough. It's about 10 minute drive to Legoland with traffic. Wonderful family memories at the Blue Ocean Cottage!

Family-Friendly Coastal Oasis by Beach & Legoland

EricRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Deyao’s place was great. Location is wonderful and is about a 8-10 min drive from the pier. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with walking distance to a big park 2 houses down. My dog enjoyed his morning walks. Plenty of kids playing in the playground, basketball courts, and tennis courts. The home itself is a duplex and is shared with tenant. They are very respectful and the Gentleman that we met gave us some really good recommendations. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the day bed in the living room was cozy, the kitchen had everything we could need (organized and labeled) and the bed felt like it was from a hotel. I liked how you the home had 3 different entrances so you could still have your “side” of the lot to enjoy. Would recommend this place to stay at if you are in Oceanside. Thank you Deyao! (Try the Cali burrito from La Perla Tapatia if you want amazing authentic Mexican food down the street)

Cardiff Beach Cottage Ocean View

LorenaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
It was absolutely charming. We enjoyed our short stay, only regret was not having more time to enjoy it more. Beds and bedding was comfortable. Kitchen is fully stocked. Plenty of thick towels and beach towels. My grandsons loved sleeping in the loft. We were 20 minutes away from Sea World minutes from great parks for the boys. The owner was wonderful. Thank you so much.... We will book again. Chris and Lorena & four grandsons

Palm Grove: Luxe King, Wet Room & Chef’s Kitchen

SamanthaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had a nice stay at Dries and Alex beautiful home. It’s very well taken care of, I hope future Airbnb people will take care of the home in the future . I am very allergic to scents and everything was unscented which was so nice. I felt very safe here. As you can see in the photos it’s decorated very nicely. I’m very grateful to the host for their kindness and having me at their beautiful home.

Beach, Golf, & Sun Await+ No added cleaning fees!

FayRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Kellys place was just as described; super loaded with things to do, games of every kind, ping pong in the garage ( a blast) a firepit and life-size chessboard in the backyard ( we played) and in walking distance of VONS grocery and a nice shopping center (a few of us walked there). The bedding was super comfy and I LOVE the plantation shutters which showcase the beautiful surroundings. I also want to thank Kelly for being so helpful. I reached out a few days before our check-in and asked if she had a cofee grinder (they have both a kuerig and regular coffee pot) and she said she thought they did, but if they didn't, she''d buy one. And It was there upon check-in. :-) The BEST! We highly recommend, miss it and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Dog-Friendly House w/ Hot Tub, AC, Game Room

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We lived in the hot tub! We were able to bbq and make s’mores! The beach was a 9 minute drive, clean, safe, and fun! It was a great view! Our favorite part of this trip was Kona and Rosie (dogs at the bottom of the hill)! They greeted us and met us every time we stepped out! Wonderful neighbors!

Lovely Coastal Cottage near Carlsbad beaches

MichelleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Robin was a great hostess. She was extremely responsive but we didn' really need to communicate with her ince we were checked in. The cottage was a beautiful little space that was perfect for my two older parents. The area was quiet, off set from the main street but still close enough (5-15mins) to groceries, shopping and the beach. The cottage has plenty of ameneties for your stay and 1 spot for parking.

Encinitas Home. Coastal Sanctuary with Mtn Views

MonikaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an amazing stay! It truly doesn’t get better than this Airbnb, the location, the property, and the home itself are all stunning, peaceful, and spotless. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. Our favorite part was waking up to the serene view and watching the goats. We also loved all the charming goat decor throughout the home. We stayed here with our 3-year-old during our Legoland trip, and believe it or not, his favorite part of our vacation was this Airbnb, not the theme park! We’ll definitely be back.
