The Boho Beachfront Pet-Friendly Palace w/AC
We really enjoyed our stay in San Diego! This place was perfect! We had easy access to the beach, and there were lots of nearby restaurants/cafes. It’s a perfect central location and has everything you need for a great stay in San Diego! Our host was very responsive and kind.

Beach In Beach Out
Jasmines place is a gem! In a very peaceful area, beautiful view to walk out to every morning. The outside deck was a huge plus, very cozy. She not only gave us good food recommendations but was very flexible with our check out time. Would recommend to anyone!

Hana Retreat in Ocean Beach
This place was in such a convenient location with so many places to walk to! The unit was clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was also really nice and big. Would definitely stay here again!

Mission Beach 1 BDRM w/ Large Ocean View Deck 714
We loved the location ! Beach in view, restaurants and grocery stores a quick walk away. Appreciated the parking space! Although we didn’t use the beach supplies, there was everything you would need for fun!

Mission Beach Paradise with Sweeping Ocean Views
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!

Breathtaking Ocean, Bay, City & Petco Park Views
If you’re visiting San Diego for business, a convention, or just to enjoy the city, this place is a great spot. We had an amazing stay at this high-rise in San Diego. The apartment was clean, stylish, and had everything we needed. The view of the Convention Center and bay is stunning. Charlotta is a fantastic host—super accommodating, friendly, and made everything easy from check-in to checkout. The location was perfect, close to the Gaslamp Quarter, the waterfront, and great restaurants. The building is secure and modern. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

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!

Beachfront-Ocean views!-Luxury AC Home on Sand!

Beach Jungalow 2BD1BA Updated AC Private Parking
Lovely stay here. Was so nice being close to the beach. Place was clean and as described. Having beach supplies available was a very nice perk as well. Parking spot is on a steep incline so definitely was glad we had an SUV. Would definitely stay here again!

Charming Beach House | Ocean Views | w/ Parking
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.

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

Designer Beach House | AC | Attached Garage
We had a wonderful time at Harry’s place. Tons to do within driving distance. Location fantastic - literally bike rentals on the corner and a few seconds from the house you’re on the promenade biking in either direction. We loved the house and overall amazing family vacation.

Modern House In The Hills | Killer Location!
beautiful picturesque and fun layout with great location. Stuart was the epitome of professionalism and warm friendly helpful instructions and humor. felt like I made a friend and will totally be back to enjoy the wonderful place again

Beachfront Home, Private SandyYard Views Walkable
Very nice home, great views, fire pit is a plus, neighbors night time security lighting is terrible. Overall excellent!!

Ocean Views,Rooftop Deck,Fire Pit,Game Room,AC
Anthony's place was great! He and Amanda were super communicative and the place was easy to get into and was exactly as described. We had a great stay. If you are unfamiliar with the Carlsbad area, as we are, there are a couple of helpful things to know: - there is quite a bit of street noise as the home is directly on the street across from the Pacific. - the beach directly across the street from the house is at the bottom of a bluff - there are quite a few stairs to climb down in order to reach the beach/water. - there is no beach across the street at high tide - the water comes all the way up to the bluff - there are great beaches about a half mile either direction from the home that are easier to access. None of this would have changed our decision to stay, but would've been good to know if we were more familiar with the area. Overall great stay, at the home was very well laid out for my elderly Mother with all amenities on the first floor and not stairs to enter the home.

Modern Oceanview Penthouse
The place was very clean, easy to find, and in a great location. Host was always proactive and gave clear instructions for check in and check out.
Waterfront condo rentals

One Bedroom Ocean Front Condo!
The apartment was so close to all the restaurants and easy to get to anywhere within around 15 minutes drive. Tina was an amazing host and on hand to answer any questions.

Mission Beach Escape! Sleeps up to 4 Guests!
I really enjoyed this place. We had a great time. Would book again

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.

The Endless Summer Condo!
Awesome place on the beach! Being able to open the screen doors to feel the breeze and hear the ocean made us excited to come back from exploring the area. Easy to get to the car in/out when needed. Beach access directly at the bottom of the apartment, using all the provided beach accessories Nick provided in the well equipped apartment. Plenty of bars and restaurants walkable, or even stores to grab a bottle of wine to stay in. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and I would definitely book again for our next San Diego trip.

Sea It All Oceanfront Oasis with pool & spa!
We were in awe when we got in to our air bnb. The view of the ocean was amazing. The place was clean. The location is at the centre of everything. Lots of good beaches around. We will return here next time we are at San Diego for sure!!

Bay Front, On the Sand, with garage
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.

Ocean front - Incredible view - great location
We loved the condo - the view was amazing! It has a large living area and super comfortable couch. The large ocean front bedroom was great - we listened to the waves all night. First time to Solana Beach - liked being able to walk to restaurants (Rustic Root), farmers market, and the dog beach. The kitchen had everything we needed. Richard called us to make sure we were able to get in. The condo has electric mobile heaters - it was a bit cold/rainy for a few days, but we were able to get the area warm. We would come back!

Don't Worry, Beach Happy!
Fantastic location, right on the beach 3rd floor. Love the Condo. Plenty of room. Swathi is a fantastic host. Everything is in walking distance.
