Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sunset Cliffs, San Diego

Lydia was a very responsive host and was really easy to communicate with. We were a little skeptical because we knew we would be staying on the property where she lived with her family and were worried about privacy but the cabin is very private and although we naturally bumped into Lydia and her husband a few times, they did not spend any time out their back yard (where the cabin is located) for the duration of our stay so we had the place and the yard pretty much to ourselves which was great. We didn't realize how far away we would be from shops and restaurants. It is about a 20 minute walk to the nearby town so we did spend a lot of money on ubers but that was our own fault for not doing our research beforehand. Overall Lydias place is very clean and had everything we needed for our stay, she even had some stuff in the fridge and cleaning products which was really convenient. Thank you Lydia for a lovely stay.

We had a nice stay at Teresa’s condo! It was clean and spacious. The location was very convenient for us with a lot of things in walking distance. Teresa was also a fantastic host. She was extremely responsive and proactive.

The location is unbeatable, and the views are breathtaking. Mark was responsive and thoughtful throughout the whole booking process. Once we were checked in, he reached out to make sure we were all good and had what we needed. I would love to come back here. Thanks for having us, Mark!

Cy’s place was perfect for a 4-day getaway. It’s a 3 minute walk to the beach, and we enjoyed hanging out and watching the surfers. It’s walkable to so many places in La Jolla! We walked to so many amazing restaurants like El Pescador and Trilogy Sanctuary. I took a work meeting from the coffee shop on the corner, the courtyard, and the kitchen, and WiFi worked great everywhere. Quiet hours start at 10p so we stayed in one night and used the hot tub. The bed was super comfy and the shower head was amazing. Cy is very responsive, and I really appreciated his flexibility with finding a place to keep our bags for a few hours after checkout. It really was a wonderful experience!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a great central location and easy to Uber around to wherever we wanted to travel to each day in San Diego. The hot tub wasn’t super clean but the house was spotless. The WiFi was spotty which wasn’t ideal but thankfully we weren’t on a business trip. The host was very responsive and did help us out with sourcing an iron and ironing board which we needed for the wedding we were in town for. They were super accommodating which we were grateful for!

Husband and I enjoyed our time in this squeaky clean and cozy tiny house! Hosts were extremely communicative, kind, and accommodating. The area was perfect! One minute walk to beach. Definitely would stay again.

Came here for my birthday and I really appreciate how close it was to the beach, shops and restaurants. I appreciate how clean this beautiful home is. Directions were clear and super happy that they were able to get us in by 4ish. Thank you for letting us enjoy your home!

This place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location! The photos and description were completely accurate, so there were no surprises when we arrived. The check-in process was smooth, and the host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The space was well-stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to extra towels. We especially appreciated how quiet and peaceful it was, yet still close to shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable stay!

We loved our stay at Rachel’s place. The apartment is beautiful, light and spacious. A lovely central location in a sweet neighbourhood with lots of fab Italian restaurants on the doorstep. Important to note the parking is not onsite but was easy to find with clear instructions and only 5 mins walk from the apartment. We would come back if we visit San Diego again!

We had such a lovely time at Jane's casita. It was so quiet, walkable to everything, and peaceful. Lots of birds to be seen from the patio. I'm glad we stayed here for our San Diego vacation and would definitely stay here again! Cute decor, too :)

David is exactly what the reviews said about his responsiveness. My family and I can say this was our best experience ever in San Diego. We felt at home and this experience made it easy for my wife and I to conclude that when traveling with our young kids, we would be better off reserving an airbnb with a great host like David. Thank you once again for your hospitality, David.

Our stay in Bird Rock was amazing. This rental was exactly what we were looking for. Super accessible to everything we needed. Short drive to beaches and restaurants (if you want to go further into La Jolla). Plentiful coffee, pastries, açaí bowls all around. It was great spending mornings on the roof top patio drinking our coffee and planning the day. 10/10 would stay again. Thanks Matt!

We enjoyed our staycation in San Diego, thanks to our beautiful home away from home at Jason’s Air BnB unit. The beach is within walking distance from the house and there are plenty of good restaurants to go to nearby. We appreciate that Jason’s place is dog-friendly as the neighborhood is very dog friendly. There are some good dog-friendly restaurants within walking distance and the dog beach in San Diego is within walking distance too. It’s a perfect place to have a staycation with family and furbabies. Thank you Jason and Keri for all the clear instructions about the house that it made our stay smooth sailing! Definitely booking again if we ever need a staycation in SD in the future.

We had a fabulous time at the Granny Flat! Everything was pristine and Kristen has thought of every amenity. She was kind and responsive. We loved the peaceful backyard with gorgeous views. The location is super convenient and a max of 25-30 mins to anywhere else in the SD area. Our pups had a great time, too! Would love to stay here again!

Beautiful home in a great location! Lisa was responsive and easy to work with throughout our booking, before and after arriving. The only downside was that they have beautiful outdoor living space that can’t be used, even for conversation on weekends after 9pm. Quiet hours were posted, but this is the first private property we’ve ever encountered where “quiet hours” meant you literally were not allowed outside the house. Other than that it was an exceptional property. Quality linens, comfortable beds and pillows, lots of extra blankets, equipment to make any kind of coffee your heart desires. Adequate number of glasses, plates, etc and a quality, large capacity, quiet dishwasher which is greatly appreciated in a house intended for up to 8 people!

I am a repeat guest and appreciate the space, amenities, and helpful hosts! This visit I had an issue with the lock and with a faulty carbon monoxide detector but the hosts responded immediately and the problems were quickly resolved. Very responsive and they make every effort to make your stay enjoyable.

We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

I was looking for a peaceful and comfortable place to relax and recharge and this fit perfectly. Anita and Brian are great hosts, friendly and helpful but still respected my privacy. The setting is also beautifully landscaped and the deck was great to have for relaxing and enjoying the water view. I can highly recommend.

A perfect place for our family during our short stay in San Diego. Clean, comfortable, conveniently located and excellent value. Teri also went above and beyond and we really appreciated her proactive help.

Anthony’s apartment was just what I needed for my adult son and me. 2 twin beds in the living room worked well as another bedroom without the cost of a 2 bedroom. The kitchen is small but had all we needed to make bfast in the mornings. Helpful to have a parking spot in back and washer dryer in unit. I really enjoyed the location next to an urban park, pretty neighborhood for walks, and short walk to restaurants and coffee shop. Anthony was super helpful when we arrived.

Quiet location, exactly as pictured and described. Parking could be a challenge if you have a large vehicle but being able to park in the garage made it easier. Great communication!

I had a great time staying at Thelma De La Paz’s place! The space was cozy, very clean, and exactly what I needed for a comfortable stay. Thelma was a wonderful host - polite, welcoming, and super responsive to any questions I had. Highly recommend!

We loved staying at Wil’s place. The place was amazing, cozy and everything we wanted for our family. We loved the aesthetic, and the pool was so fun to play in. It was quiet but close to everything we wanted to do, so it was the perfect place to come back to after a long day out. The host and hostess were amazing, friendly and extremely helpful. We can’t wait to visit again.

We had a great stay at Tigg’s place. It was easy to get around, very walkable to get food or go to the beach. The studio had everything we needed. Would stay here again. Highly recommend!
