Southern California Luxury in Quiet Neighborhood
This is one of the most well thought out homes I’ve ever stayed at globally. The home is stunning and so well designed, even more beautiful than the photos. We loved how the pool was next to the master bedroom. This home has everything you need and more. Would love to stay agin!

Oceanside Outdoor Dream with pool , spa, and BBQ
My 2 colleagues and myself stayed here for a total of 8 nights as we were in town for a conference. It was brilliant and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend Oceanside and this property .

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

Resort Style Home with Hot Jacuzzi & Relaxing Pool
What an incredible place to call home for a few days. This place had everything we needed to cook for our family, the pool and spa were amazing, and had some great hang out spaces for the family. Trevor and Heidi were quick to respond if we needed anything!

Family Beach Bungalows - Steps to beach & Village!
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!

Gorgeous Private Home —Close to Carlsbad Beaches
We had a wonderful stay! Host is very responsive. The home is extremely well kept, clean, exactly as described and pictured in the photos! Very comfortable and they provided a pack n play and booster seat for our baby. Lovely backyard. The home is located in a nice neighborhood and nearby a grocery store & some restaurants. We would definitely book again!

3mi to Beach&Pier |A/C| Surfboards| Chefs Kitchen
Would 100% stay again. We felt right at home and had everything we needed. Drake did a great job providing local recommendations. Hope to visit again soon!

Family-Friendly Coastal Oasis by Beach & Legoland
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)

Oceanside Ocean-View Guest Studio
We really enjoyed our stay! Great location and hosts were had good communication. Parking was readily available out front and check in and out was very easy.

Steps to the beach, Lego room, Gameroom and Gym
10 and her partner were great at hosting us while we stayed in Carlsbad we enjoyed the view the walk to the beach the game room they went above and beyond by getting my child some snacks and a pizza so it would be there when we arrived this was amazing which was amazing when traveling with kids will be back to stay

Cardiff Beach Cottage Ocean View
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
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!
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
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!

Modern Fire Mtn Estate | Hot Tub + Cinema
We had a fantastic stay—we enjoyed the beautiful and peaceful home. The kitchen was well stocked and the outdoor area was wonderful. Patrick and Sara were great hosts. We would love to come back to stay when we visit the area!

Coastal retreat walking distance to beach!
This house is wonderful and would stay again. My 3 children and my mother and myself fit perfectly. We walked to the beach daily. Lots of amenities at the house for the kids to play with. We slept comfortably. Really nice space!

Gorgeous Oceanfront Mansion Private Sand Fire Ring
Our family had an amazing stay! Beautiful home and beautiful location! Super responsive and helpful host, thank you!

Lovely Coastal Cottage near Carlsbad beaches
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
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.

Terramar House
Such an amazing place to stay for a family vacation!!! The house was very clean with beautiful esthetic inside and out!! Easy access to the beach, shops, and food!!!!! Overall the best vacation our family has had!!! Hope to return next year for some more fun!
