This is my second time staying at this location, it’s absolutely my favorite! Right across from Pacific Beach and in walking distance from lots of great restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a beachfront experience. The area feels safe and clean, you can see San Diego City takes care of this beach daily. As for the Air BnB itself: very clean, bathroom is spotless & kitchen is stocked with cooking utensils. It had everything we needed! Can’t wait to stay again sometime!

Ocean Front Beach Condo

SheilaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb right on Mission Beach! The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the sand and perfect for a relaxing, chill vibe.

He checked in to see if we needed anything and was always responsive and kind throughout our stay. We really appreciated the great communication and hospitality. Overall, we absolutely loved the experience and would definitely stay here again!

Charming Beach House | Ocean Views | w/ Parking

YiaraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Loved our stay at Jacqui’s. Walking distance to the beach and the boardwalk, yet very quiet and peaceful. The unit is cozy and has everything we needed for our stay. The deck area was the highlight as we could relax and enjoy the afternoon with a great balance of sun and shade. Parking is tight for getting a toddler in and out of the car seat but the alley was quiet enough that we never felt rushed.

Everything matched the description. I will definitely revisit again when I’m back. The best part I slept like a baby, best sleep I ever had in years, listening to the ocean waves at night if you have the window open.

North Mission Beach w/AC, Parking, Ocean View Deck

LeslieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This Airbnb has everything that you could possibly need and while it is a studio, it's actually roomy. There's a large, very comfortable king-size bed, but it doesn't feel like it takes up a lot of space. The couch is a pull-out bed as well, and it’s long enough to for somebody that's 5'6” or smaller to be able to sleep on it. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need including ice cube trays and a light underneath the microwave. So, it feels homey. There's a bar that has five chairs facing the strandway where you can see the glimpses of the ocean. There are plenty of plugs for gadgets. There's a closet that has all kinds of linens. Anything you could possibly need from extra blankets to extra pillows, extra towels. In the kids' room, there are bunk beds that are large enough for an adult to sleep on the bottom (5’6” or shorter). The bathroom is has nice lighting and a window that opens up the street. The patio outside has plenty of space for two to three people to sit.

MargeauxRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We were two families with a 15-month old and a 6-month old kid. We loved how the space was super baby-friendly. Safety gates, toddler tables/chairs, crib, etc. Very clean. The property is just a few steps away from the beach. Good restaurants within walking distance. Sea World 3 miles away. Jarrod and Maria provided everything we needed and more. They are also very responsive to questions. We highly recommend this property to anyone staying in San Diego!

Oceanview, 2 Balconies, Recently Upgraded Kitchen!

Craig And JennieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really enjoyed staying here! Our favorite part was the view. It was so amazing to see and hear the ocean from both patios. The location in Pacific Beach was great! Steps from the beach and the boardwalk! Beautiful sunsets. Lots of restaurants and groceries really close. Easy to drive to other areas north and south really quickly. The parking spot in the garage was super helpful to have. Never had to worry about parking. Also great to have access to some beach chairs and towels. Beds were comfy. Appreciated the nice counter space in the primary bathroom. One thing to note for all you tall people out there. The height of the primary shower head was low. Not a big problem for me at 5’8” but my hubby is 6’4”. Good news is that the 2nd shower has a hand held sprayer so the problem was solved. Just an FYI for those that want to know.

Enchanted Ocean Sunsets

AnnaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Such an amazing place! My husband and I have been meeting up with our friends for 6 years now and this is the first time a kid has joined us. My son loved the beach and it was so nice to be so close and to have our own space but to also be able to walk to restaurants and things around. Kiran was so kind and was able to answer any questions we had very quick. We’ve already talked about going again!!

Modern gated Condo steps from beach & attractions

JaniceRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Loved the location of this home! It also was very clean and comfortable. We had a 9-month old with us and it was really nice to see a high chair for us to use. There is also a closet full of beach items! But unfortunately it was a little too chilly for us to go to the beach which is steps away from the house. There’s also lots of restaurants walking distance which was very convenient. Only one parking spot but we were able to park our second car on the street, just watch the signs for parking restrictions. We loved this home and hope to stay here again!

Bay Front, On the Sand, with garage

ZackRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Glenna and Bill were as wonderful as their home. Spacious 3br for the bayfront! Truly, on the water, and with four little kids it was so nice to have the beach out your front door. Their patio is also one of the best on the bay with ample space and seating. We enjoyed meals out there and sitting back in the rocking chairs after tucking the kids in.
