Beachside Bliss, private yard with fire pit & BBQ
We didn’t want to leave. This host is extremely thoughtful with all that you could use on vacation. My husband and my 15month old accompanied me on this adventure to the beach. Just a few blocks away we loaded up our wagon and just enjoyed all the great restaurants and activities around. Besides being the perfect location, this Airbnb was well stocked including a High chair and pack n play for the baby. No clutter around other than a few tasteful decorations we were able to put up so baby couldn’t reach them. The cleaners have done an amazing job at every inch of the home, to the extent that I felt comfortable with my infant roaming around. We will be saving this booking for future use because it was beyond my favorite place to stay. As per the host, they are responsive kind and understanding. Thanks for hosting us, as we appreciate your time and commitment to creating a happy place for others. Cheers.

State & Fir (Little Italy Loft, Free Parking)
We happened to meet Rachel at check-in. She greeted us in a very friendly way and immediately showed us the entrance. The accommodation matches the pictures with lots of little details. Great location, as it is only a few minutes' walk to Little Italy ( great restaurants ), the harbor and Balboa Park. The only criticisms (however, are personal concerns and matters of opinion): The mattress was too uncomfortable for us, because a hollow forms when lying down for a long time. In addition, you could not open a window to ventilate, which was difficult because the entire accommodation is open and you cannot close off any area separately. (Smell from food and bathroom steam) In addition, it was a bit dark in the accommodation because not much daylight comes in. Partly very loud due to the opposite highway and the landing aircraft. We felt very comfortable and would stay here again.

Cardiff Beach Charmer 2
I am strongly positive both on the place and on the host. The house is immaculately clean, very comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. It is a short walk to the downtown of Cardiff, with its restaurants and beach access. Noylan is an absolutely outstanding host. Her instructions are clear and reasonable. It is so clear that she wants her guests to have a five-star experience. I recommend this place and this host without any qualifications. Such a find!

Carlsbad Paradise - Beach and Legoland nearby
We loved our 3-night (couple’s) stay at this quaint and cute apartment! Joel and Heather were both very quick to respond and offered good recommendations. It’s within walkable distance to the Carlsbad Village and Beach, which were our top priorities. Loved it and strongly recommend!

Calm Luxury Penthouse Getaway With Panoramic Views
Jessica’s place is great! Views are amazing. Place is clean. Location was perfect. And parking wasn’t too bad if you’re strategic with return times. Would recommend 12/10 times.

NEW Oceanfront Oasis On theWaves
Dan & Britt are very gracious hosts! They were proactive in reaching out to us to make sure we were comfortable and were attentive to our needs throughout our stay. Their Airbnb was better than the photos and my family and I absolutely loved the views it offered as well as the neighborhood of Oceanside. The house itself was very spacious and clean. We had a chance to truly decompress for a couple of days! I would highly recommend a stay here and we plan on going back.

Beautiful Modern 2-Bed in Downtown Vista!
Location is very walkable to charming downtown Vista area, and the unit itself is clean, airy, and spacious with plenty of amenities! There are clear instructions in place too and the dedicated parking was a big plus. It was a peaceful and restful place to stay, thank you Kim!

Ocean Front Beach Condo
We loved this place. even though it was cloudy and windy, the porch was our favorite place to be! We watched Sea Lions, seagulls, pelicans and surfers during our morning coffee and dusk wine sunsets. Location was also great, within 15 to 20 minutes we were able to explore so much during the 3 days we were there. If you can only do a couple of things I suggest spending a couple of hours at the Cabrillo National Monument $20 valid for 7 days, you can hike, visit the monument, light house, tide pools, visitor center, The view is spectacular! Then head to Old Town and ride the 2 hours trolley - hop on and hop off or enjoy the full ride. Mexican food galore or stop by Little Italy for some yummy pizza! It was our first time in San Diego, but we will be back for sure, and hopefully Rick's place will be available! also a bonus, you get to use the garage!

5-star Airbnb and host, parking/entry was simple and easy, Renee is 100% responsive, and it’s clear this host cares that you have a great stay. The place is as described, very clean, fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds with THE SOFTEST SHEETS/PILLOWCASES EVER, and nice extra touches. Bright and light, quiet at night, 1.5 bathrooms, and close to beach and coastal towns.

Absolutely loved the place I adjusted so well such a nice cozy place away from home :) everything listed is there and every amenity was helpful definitely worth to stay at if you want a nice sunny cozy home with lots of natural light for a fun vacation and definitely memorable one !

La Jolla Windansea Luxury Cottage
This air b and b was one of the best I have ever stayed at! The owner was great and very clear in communications. The house has everything we needed. The beach down the street was amazing! We loved walking to beautiful down LaJolla. Parking outside the home was super easy! I can’t say enough great things. If we are ever back in LJ, this would be our 1st choice of places to stay!

Oceanfront 2b Del Mar Beach Club
Very nice, safe location! Exactly as represented. It was very clean, well stocked, and easy to check in. We also really liked the beds, which is rare for us in a vacation home. JB was quick to respond with any questions. Enjoyed watching the surfers, dolphins, and sunsets from the balcony. Would highly recommend!

★Lux Designer Penthouse | Balcony w/ Stunning View
Great place. Pictures were just like the Penthouse. Location was close to everything. Short drive to Old Town, Gas Lamp District, Seaport. Gaston was a great host, quick to respond as we asked for places to eat. Thank you Gastan will be back soon!

Luxurious Boho-Chic stay in trendy North Park
WOW…Extraordinary!! Besides the space being absolutely adorable and beautifully appointed, the hosts have done a fantastic job with the outdoor space as well! We enjoyed the fire pit and the covered space with comfy sofas…and a shuffleboard! So many great restaurants to walk to and of course, Balboa Park is right there with all it has to offer…world famous zoo and beautiful museums. We will definitely be back to stay at Kevin and Maria’s lovely AirBnB!

Gardenview Condo in Beachfront Resort
Very nice condo. Clean, neat, tidy, comfortable. Kitchen was adequately equipped for a vacation rental. Very nice location so near to the beach. Did I say clean? Loved that. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your condo.

Ranch View Suite
We really enjoyed getting out of the city this weekend. Susan’s place is tucked away and peaceful, and it was beautiful! We loved lounging by the pool and hearing all the birds, seeing her horses, and hearing the frogs and crickets at night. Definitely a good place to unwind if you are looking for a place to relax. Susan was really quick to respond to issues and was very proactive. Good place for a couple - just a note that there isn’t a complete closure to the bathroom, but that didn’t bother us at all.

Beach Apartment near Oceanside Pier
The location was great, close to many restaurants and shops, great ocean breeze, great ocean view from the room, beautiful grounds, and 5 minutes from my sons house on Camp Pendleton!

Refined Minimalist Condo Accommodation in Carlsbad
It was a nice place to stay for a month. Veena was very responsive to my inquiries and questions. It was a good location and the bed was extremely comfortable. It worked great for me.

Hidden Gem with Hot Tub and Parking - 4 Guests
Adam was an absolute lifesaver. After being left stranded by another host, I sent a last-minute request and he responded right away with kindness and professionalism. The home was immaculate, with so many thoughtful and charming touches that made me feel right at home. The space was quiet, the water pressure and temperature were perfect, and everything was just as described. There was a minor issue with a guest accidentally taking my parking spot, but Adam resolved it immediately—he was truly on top of everything. This stay turned what could’ve been a stressful night into a peaceful and welcoming experience. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend booking with Adam !

~Hot Tub Getaway in Central San Diego~
Very easy check-in, and incredibly communicative hosts! Would recommend this property to anyone looking for their own little oasis with easy accessibility to all of San Diego.

Barrio Logan Loft/ Detached Guest House
I wish I had more than 1000 characters because this place was incredible! The history in Barrio-Logan was unmatched compared to staying in the Gaslamp area. Hector left great recommendations, had a clean and spacious area, and was so responsive and flexible with check in! Couldn’t recommend this Airbnb or host more.

Walk to Balboa Park South Park Hot Tub Hideaway
I stayed here with my husband in December. Super cute place! Has kind of a mid-century feel to it and was very cozy It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to most of the shops and restaurants and South Park. Only about a 10 minute walk to Kindred and Buona Forchetta Neighborhood is nice and quiet, and there was plenty of street parking while we were there (which can be challenging in South Park so we were stoked) Bed was comfortable and they had extra blankets that we used since it was cold. We also used the electric charger for our EV, which was an awesome perk Overall, this Airbnb is cute and in a great location. Highly recommend and would stay here again!
