Private Studio Steps2Bay +AC +Bikes (Akaroa)
This was just what we needed for our stay! Easy walk to the bay, and to surrounding restaurants. Quinn gave very clear instructions on where everything was.

Cute, clean private studio. Close to the beach!
Me and my partner were here for a concert, the location is very walkable and beautiful. The stay is also very comforting, and exactly what we needed. The hosts were extremely welcoming, and gave us recommendations on activities, and places to eat. I will definitely be coming again.

🏖️Steps to Mission Beach and Bay. Free Parking+AC
My partner and I stayed here for 5 days , it was a great experience! The host was responsive and accommodating when a couple issues popped up. The apartment has everything you need for a pleasant stay.

8 Holiday Ocean Breeze
Simon was a great host and provided more amenities than we thought! The decorations made the place feel warm and inviting. The walk to the beach was literally only a few minutes and we were able to walk to some restaurants and markets down the street easily. Overall I would highly recommend this place!

Stylish & Bright~5 Star Location~Queen Beds
Sure! Here’s a polished and friendly Airbnb review for your San Diego stay: ⸻ Review: I had a fantastic stay at Khwajas’s Airbnb in San Diego! The highlight was definitely the view absolutely stunning from both the room and the shared lounge area. Waking up to the city skyline and coastal colors was a dream, and the sunsets were unforgettable. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Whether I was enjoying a quiet morning coffee or relaxing in the evening, the view made it all feel special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful spot with a view that truly delivers! ⸻ Would you like to mention anything about the host, location, or amenities? I can tweak it to be more casual or detailed.

Forty feet from Pacific Ocean
We absolutely loved, and would recommend Matthew's vacation rental. We have stayed in Oceanside several times for a quick get away and this lovely location is by far our favorite. We hope we will be able to return in the near future. A parking spot is right in front of the property, Matthew's check in and out instructions are clear and easy to follow, the location cannot be beat, with the ocean and private beach just steps away. The interior has everything you could possibly need, it was clean and well stocked. I personally appreciated the binoculars and decaf coffee. It was wonderful to sit outdoors and watch dolphins, seabirds, surfers, dogs happy to be on the beach, and relax to the sound of the waves. There are many great restaurants nearby, and plenty of activities and places to visit in and around town. The best part was the feeling of being in our own little private sanctuary. Thank you to Matthew for being a fantastic host!

Studio Apartment in Heart of Ocean Beach
We had a lovely stay at Rob’s. The location is impossible to beat with amazing restaurants, bars and coffee shops all in walking distance. The space is small as it is a studio but it was perfect for a long weekend with myself and my husband. Communication was extremely fast and everything was smooth as can be with our hosts!

Remodeled modern 2-Bedrooms rental unit
We had a great stay, Zoe was very responsive and quick to help or answer any questions. The place was clean and looked like the pictures.
House rentals with beach access

Modern Home - Steps from the Sand - 2 Car Garage
We enjoyed our time at Bayside Breeze. The house is in a good location. It’s very clean and bright. The space is comfortable, and relaxing . The bay is very close. We watched fireworks each night there and the beach is just across the main road.

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!

Beautiful 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath House
Great stay, felt very safe and at home. So much to do at a walkable distance, very close to the beach, 10/10 would definitely stay again. Albert was awesome, proactive at check-in, and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Ocean Beach Lighthouse - 1 Block to Beach
The stay was amazing! Such a cute air bnb. Close to lots of of shops, restaurants and a beautiful view of the ocean. 10/10

Zen Loft Steps to the Beach
Ryder was a great host. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there and felt right at home. I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Pacific Beach and explore a true highlight of San Diego!

Blue Beach House 🏖 5 blocks to Beach /Restaurants
Our stay at the Blue Beach House was comfortable & quiet. The upstairs cottage was private, with a sweet covered porch and well stocked kitchen. Inside décor was creative & cozy. Colorful artwork and nice furnishings. The neighborhood was quiet and great for walking. Suzanne was available if we needed anything and very friendly. A great weekend stay. We would definitely stay at the Blue Beach house again and have already recommended it to family & friends. Thank you Suzanne for being a great host. sincerely, Angela & Mike from Ashland, Oregon

The Seaford - sweeping ocean view and pet friendly
Excellent location for walking to town and access across tracks to beach. Enjoyed walking along wildflower bordered paths with view of the Pacific. Great views from deck and living room.

Custom Guesthouse, Balboa Park/Zoo/Hillcrest& pool
This beautiful guest home in historic Marston Hills is perfect for a San Diego getaway! It was pristine, well-maintained, and so comfortable. We were able to walk to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo, as well as nearby restaurants and grocery stores. The pool was also a lovely amenity, and the surrounding canyon was a gorgeous backdrop. Jing is an amazing host. She truly goes the extra mile to take care of her guests. The home is stocked with amenities - kitchenware for cooking, toiletries and extra towels, even pool or beach supplies! We loved our stay in Jing’s guest home, and are so grateful for the hospitality. An amazing location and our incredible host made our stay so memorable and enjoyable. Thank you, Jing, for your hospitality. We hope to stay here again, soon!
Apartment rentals with beach access

Beach Front Studio 30 Ft From Sand + Your Garage!
The location is incredible — you truly can’t beat the proximity to the beach, dog beach, and a wide variety of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops all within walking distance. The unit itself was the perfect space for a quick weekend getaway and had all the amenities we needed. We didn’t use the community space or hot tub, but they looked clean and well-maintained. One heads-up: if you're parking a mid-size or larger vehicle in the garage, be prepared for a very tight fit. The garage is located around the corner in an alley, and some cars turn in blindly, which could be a bit risky — so just use extra caution. Overall, it was an amazing stay and we’d definitely book again!

Mid-Century Modern 1BR/1BA Beach Apartment
A Perfect San Diego Coastal Getaway! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Carl's beach home in the Pacific/Mission Beach area, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charming beach cottage. The decor is super cute, combining cozy beach vibes with modern comforts, making it feel like a home away from home. The location couldn't be better! Just a short stroll from the beach, we enjoyed daily walks along the shore and stunning sunsets. The nearby restaurants and shops added to the convenience, making it easy to explore the local scene. Carl was an exceptional host, providing us with all the information we needed for a smooth stay. The cottage was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. If you're looking for a perfect beach getaway, I highly recommend Carl’s beach home. We can’t wait to return! Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ocean Front Beach Townhouse with Balcony
This was our second stay at this apartment, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We love being so close to the beach and within easy walking distance of Ocean Beach. For week-long visits, having a well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook a few meals at home. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and having access to a washer and dryer is a huge plus. We will stay here again on our next trip to San Diego.

🌟BEST LOCATION IN PB🌟 2Bd/1Ba! WALK to the beach
Wonderful stay! The place was clean and had everything we needed for a week long visit to San Diego. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Easy walk to the beach and many local eateries. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

Oceanfront Elegant Condo - Remarkable Amenities
Very nice place. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. If ever in San Diego again, my family will definitely stay here again.

✨Beach, Bay & Rollercoaster!🏖⛵️🎢
Great location steps away from the beach. Francisco was very responsive to any and all questions

Ocean Front Mission Beach Penthouse!
Great location on Mission Beach. Emmy's book of local suggestions was great for finding good food in the area. Centrally located to all different San Diego attractions which was great. Loved the beach being right outside the door as well as the ability to walk all around Mission Beach. My family and I even walked to Pacific beach. Emmy was wonderful with checking in on my family. I would definitely recommend.

Oceanfront/Oceanview Modern and Comfy Condo
This is a great place directly across from the Ocean Front Walk. The neighborhood is older as is the building but the condo is roomy, the mirrored wall in the living room reflects the outdoor view from the large windows which does include an ocean view. When it was time for the sunset, we just had to walk out the building door onto the boardwalk steps away. It was a collective effervescence moment to see all ages stopped with their eyes to the horizon taking in the sunset. This area is SO walkable and there is no shortage of cafes, coffee shops and restaurants. The condo itself is spotless, the hosts are super responsive, the kitchen is large and roomy with tons of counterspace and a full-size refrigerator. Plus, there are little touches like the LED fireplace, portable cooling unit, mobile wardrobe, and the lighted bathroom mirrors with anti-fog. We would stay again.
