Beauty by the Beach, The Strand
Beautiful location and luxurious accommodations. Plenty of space for families traveling together. Lots of storage. The view is unreal, and the proximity to the water is perfect. The noise from the Strand can be loud at times but the doors do a good job of blocking the sound. We enjoyed the fire pit that runs on propane at night to make s’mores. We had a beautiful multi generational girls trip. Can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful Studio Oceanfront | Patio | Kitchenette
Even better than it was in past visits! Property Mgr is available directly for any issues and very proactive. Great location within steps of so much in town, yet off the path to prevent noise or crowd pollution. Privacy gates to separate you from other units. Beautiful view of the ocean and sunset from the patio. I go here to retreat from the world for a moment and it never disappoints. Kitchen has the needed essentials and the full size shampoo/conditioner/body wash was appreciated. This visit the TV next door could be heard at night, but that's not been the experience before so might have just been the renters. Thankfully they turned it off by 9-10 though. 100% will be back to this property.

Tower 9 A
This is a wonderful place! It was perfect for two couples celebrating the birthday of one of us -- with two separate bedrooms, each with its bathroom. It will also be great for a larger family. There is an upper deck from which you can see the ocean, which is perfect for a relaxing morning coffee and/or cheerful happy hour. We were steps away from the water and did not miss the spectacular sunsets from Tower #9. The well-equipped kitchen allowed for the preparation of fully cooked meals, and the dining table was beautiful, which allowed us to fully enjoy those meals. We love Oceanside and really hope to return soon and stay close to Tower #9 again!

Ocean close apartment UnitB
My husband and I enjoyed our stay! It was such a cute little beach house. Small home but the layout and lack of clutter made it feel bigger and functional. It was the perfect location for easily walking to the beach or dining near the pier. We would definitely stay again!

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!

Carlsbad Paradise 2 - Near Beach
Joel and Heather were wonderful hosts. Their home was as described, and they were accommodating even when we had multiple requests. The Airbnb is situated in perhaps the perfect location, with everything a toddler might need — restaurants, playgrounds, convenience and grocery stores — generally within 5-15 minutes away. In fact, I’m not sure I’ve stayed in a more central hotel or Airbnb. Also, even though the home is right off a highway, Heather and Joel have done a fantastic job of soundproofing the home. You literally forget that you’re right off the highway until you step outside.

Mission Beach 1 BDRM w/ Large Ocean View Deck 714
Plenty of space in this little apartment, and you can’t beat the location—Mission Beach is literally just a few feet from the front door. Big thanks to Daniel, who responded quickly when I had trouble with the lock (turned out to be user error on my part!). The apartment was clean, well-kept, and looked just like the photos. The location is a perfect 10/10. We really appreciated the extra touches—beach chairs and boogie boards were available for us to use, which we loved. There's also a hose on the side of the property, so rinsing off after the beach was super easy—we didn’t even need to walk down to the public showers by Belmont Park like we usually do. Overall, a great stay!

A Strand of Paradise Large Studio 4
Perfectly located and plenty to do. The Tin Fish by the Pier is really good. Washer and dryer were free to use, which was a plus for us.

Dolphin Views ~ The Edge of the USA, 2-Bed, 1-Bath
Brooke was incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind. AirBnB sent us the incorrect info to check in, but Brooke text us back right away with the correct gate & door codes. Everything was so clean and tidy (which is definitely saying something being so close to the beach!). The view absolutely can't be beat, and the home is so cozy and beautiful. We had the best time and certainly hope to be lucky enough to return some day! Thank you, Brooke!!

Beach Jungalow 2BD1BA Updated AC Private Parking
Perfect spot for a lil beach getaway. One block to the ocean beach surf park and plenty of stuff within a ten min walk from the house. Great location and the house had everything needed. Clean and tidy. Highly recommend

Cabin in the woods- self check in- free standing
I chose this location as a personal retreat where I could relax and work without distraction, and it didn't disappoint! The cabin is comfortable and the property is just gorgeous. I very much enjoyed sitting by the creek and reading, and working at the picnic table surrounded by trees and birds. There is also a very friendly cat who visited me while I worked. Cory is a friendly, helpful host, and as a woman traveling alone, I felt safe the entire time. I would gladly stay here again.

1 Bedroom Water View Home - South Mission Beach
We loved staying here! It is very close to Mission Bay, Mission Beach, and Mission Point. We were able to easily walk anywhere we wanted to go. Very comfy cozy house, great selection of pots and pans. The bed is extremely comfortable! The garage space easily fit our Honda Pilot with room to exit on both sides. We would definitely stay here again!

Bamboo Lake House-Tropical paradise & LOTS OF FUN
We had such an amazing time. So many activities to do at Kathleen’s. Our kids love the pond, swimming pool, fishing, pickleball, and appreciate all the outdoors amenities. Definitely a gem to visit for families. The home is a little dated. But all the outdoor activities make up for it.

New Stunning Beach House! 2 Tubs & Outdoor Shower
This is probably one of my favorite Airbnb properties we've ever stayed in!! Ricardo was such an amazing host...great recommendations, checked in with us to see if we needed anything and was responsive the entire stay. The place felt just like home! Located on a beautiful street with gorgeous houses and walking distance to the beach and boardwalk (literally a block away), grocery store (an easy walk) and fantastic restaurants all within walking distance. No car needed. The place is breathtaking...very romantic! Extremely private and so cozy and super clean!! The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The hot tub was fantastic, especially with the fireplace and TV which we used almost every night. We used the grill and it was perfect for a night in. If your dates are available, book it immediately...I promise you will not be disappointed! We can't wait to come back and stay here again! Ricardo, you're the best! Thank you for everything!!! :))

Outstanding Ocean Oasis ❊ Modern, Family Fun Home
We had a wonderful stay at this kid-friendly Airbnb! The house was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a smooth and fun trip with little ones — beach toys, a stroller, and even outdoor mini golf! It made our park visits and beach days so much easier and more enjoyable. The home itself was beautifully decorated and perfectly matched our taste — we honestly joked that we wished we could live there! Every detail added to the comfort and charm of our stay. The host was incredibly helpful and accommodating of our needs, and the location was ideal — close to all the San Diego attractions we had planned to visit. This was one of our best Airbnb experiences, and we’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend for families visiting San Diego.

Modern Beach Residence w Backyard Pond & Hot Tub🏖
Home was spacious and comfortable, just as described. Plenty of clean linens, dishware, beach toys and a secure yard, made for a very comfortable stay. We will definitely be back. We highly recommend this modern, comfortable home walking distance to the beach.

This was an amazing stay! The apartment was impeccably clean, and the host, Danielle, was incredibly responsive. The location was perfect, close to everything I wanted to see, and the amenities were well-equipped. Highly recommend!"

15 Feet to the Water - Oceanfront
A beautiful well appointed place! Plenty of supplies and the kitchen was very well equipped. The host team was very responsive and friendly. We used to live full time in Oceanside and walked by this AirBNB every day and always thought it was beautiful, so glad we got to experience it first hand! Very comfortable and you can’t beat the location for beautiful sunsets! Thank you for making our visit back to Oceanside special! ☀️

Oceanfront - Private Beach!
This place was the perfect getaway right on the beach with ocean views! Home was clean & as described. Kelley was a wonderful host who was very accommodating & responsive when our plans unexpectedly changed. She was quick to help us out & made sure we were able to enjoy the trip we had been planning & looking forward to. We would definitely stay here again!

Romantic Getaway | Luxury Oceanfront Studio
this place was amazing from the moment we stepped into it. Great views of the ocean and dolphins coming thru most mornings was the best while drinking coffee. Definitely be back for future visit

Surf’s Up! Ocean, Beach & Pier Views NCV A307
So, I would just like to say that this place is absolutely as described and deserves every five star review that it has received. For me, it’s the small things and that small thing was lip balm, lol. When I got to the room, my lips were chapped, and I thought I was gonna have to run out because I had misplaced mine and there it was, so thoughtful. I love all of the special touches in that you have everything you need and somethings you didn’t think you needed. Well done!!

Luxury Oceanfront Condo with Unbelievable Views
This place was absolutely amazing. Every detail and decoration was perfect, the views were surreal, located ideally in the middle of pacific beach. Able to walk to coffee every morning and enjoy ocean views from the comfort the living room. Host was very responsive and gave detailed instructions. Really couldn’t ask for anything more from an AirBnB!

No Cleaning Fee! Luxury OceanView w/SPA & Pets OK
AMAZING WEEKEND GETAWAY! Already looking into booking another weekend ASAP. Janine was so sweet and responsive. The home was clean and comfortable. Nothing beats the rooftop deck. Great location to walk to beach, restaurants and breweries. Quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking. Thank you so much for having us! We will be booking again soon!

C302 NCV - Ocean view Penthouse with large deck
We had a wonderful time! It was super clean, tidy, and felt like a home away from home. The property is well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. It was spacious and comfortable. The views from the balcony were amazing. It is within walking distance to everything you need. Less than a 15 minute walk to grocery stores, dining, shopping and more. The beach was clean. The property was immaculate and secure with beautifully manicured gardens and even a koi pond.
