Lovely Guesthouse in garden setting
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.

Fig Tree Bungalow
This place was great for our quick weekend trip. Definitely worth the price.

Private Family Friendly Casita/Guesthouse
The casita was perfect for my family! It was bigger and even nicer in person. Robert was responsive and friendly. It was very clean, and had everything you need. We would love to stay there again!

Cozy Cottage in Encinitas Highlands
Carol and Tony provided everything we needed for a lovely family vacation- they accommodated our needs while traveling with a toddler and their guest house felt like a home away from home! Their backyard is heavenly and was the perfect place to relax in between all our outings. They are the nicest couple and I would recommend their lovely cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with easy access to all SoCal has to offer.

Pool Side Guesthouse
Three Oaks was a lovely getaway! It was nice being a bit outside of town, very quiet & peaceful. The host was friendly, attentive & very welcoming. The bed was comfortable, something I have a problem with at most hotels I stay in. Will definitely come back on future visits to the area!

"Inn Bloom" on Fire Mountain
Wonderful and comfortable stay with generous amenities. Loved the outdoor area, the charming decor and complete kitchen. Leanne and Jim are both responsive and personable and we really enjoyed chatting with them. We will definitely stay there again ♥️👌🧡

Cosy quiet Guesthouse near SDSU
I think this place was well worth what it was advertised. Great location host was very responsive and I will book again if I’m in the area..

Private Family Friendly Guest House
We had a perfectly comfortable stay and would come back again the next time we are in town if available. The backyard is amazing!

Golden Hour Guesthouse
Cara and Erik are excellent hosts with fantastic hospitality. In terms of the Airbnb itself, it was amazing and I would definitely stay there again. So much room, so well maintained— you can see immediately how serious Cara and Erik take hosting. The location makes it so easy to go to fantastic restaurants and bars, and is close everything you’ll need. Again, I cannot stress how much i enjoyed my stay and couldn’t recommend Cara and Erik more!

Adorable cottage in Talmadge
Another great visit! Convenient location coupled with wonderful amenities, along with Carlos’ hospitality makes this a top choice for us when visiting San Diego to see our son!

La Jolla Oasis: Ocean, City and Fire Works Views
An absolute paradise!!! From the arrival to the attention to detail in every way, this place makes you feel right at home. We were greeted by a welcome basket even! The neighborhood is so peaceful… plenty to enjoy and relax just being at the home. We cannot wait to come back!

Private Garden Guesthouse 9 Miles from LegoLand
Awesome place! Our kids loved it! Lots of games and a beautiful patio. We used the towels, camp chairs and boogie boards that were provided. I have no notes the place was awesome!

Ocean Blue Vista One-Bedroom Private Guest House
Had a great stay with my girlfriend. Felt very at home and comfortable. Lots to do around the area and tons of accommodations. Was able to cook a full meal, and prepare cocktails, while watching a romantic movie. A great time all and all. I’d highly recommend this stay and I plan on staying again if back in the area.

New (2022) North Park Abode w/ Roof Deck
BOOK IT! Aesthetically well done, extremely comfortable, perfect location. Really enjoyed my stay here for 5 days. Unit has everything you may need during your stay. Love this neighborhood, so many great restaurants and shops. Parking was always available. Space is squeaky clean and bed is comfy. Next time I’m in SD I will stay here again.

Private Casita on 6-Acres with VIEWS
Jolene and Dane's rental stood out for us. We have lived In Europe and traveled extensively renting all over the world during our journey. Their casita was decorated classy and stylishly...with comfort and convenience in mind. The kitchen was sweet and small w/everything we needed (mainly breakfast.). The TV was like watching our own at home. They thought of every detail to make guests feel ever so comfortable..and ohhh that view. If their calendar allows, we will return. We will return.

Moonrise Cottage at Buena Terra Lavender Farm
We were so grateful to Heidi accommodating our new family of 4 (2 month old baby) on our first trip, especially as our request was last minute. We found the local recommendations very helpful as well as her thoughtful call to make sure the GPS took us the right way. The place was gorgeous and so thoughtfully furnished- every need was anticipated and we were very comfortable. We are sure to return when we're in the area! Thank you Heidi!

Peaceful, Private, Coastal Retreat
Christine's place is very thoughtfully set up. Great attention to detail and extremely responsive. The unit has a private feeling, at the end of a cul-de-sac and with a private outdoor patio space and BBQ. Bright, clean and comfortable. I am a regular Airbnb user, and its easy to tell when a host has anticipated all needs. Excellent kitchen space which I appreciated and used. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Private Villa walk to beach
It’s was amazing staying a Kim’s guesthouse. Felt very private and peaceful. The birds sounded so beautiful in the morning, we thought it was fake at first. The flowers just outside are beautiful. The beach within walking distance was a perfect place to play, lay out, watch the sunset and surfers. We even saw dolphins one night! Just a magical time. We will definitely come back!

Private Guest House for 2 with Kitchen + Laundry
This place was perfect for my short stay! It was very clean, kitchen is nice with everything you need, & the bed was comfy. Most definitely worth the money.

San Diego Shangri-La
This apartment is great for 2 people to enjoy the San Diego / La Jolla area. We stayed here for a full month. The apartment is very cozy and the hosts are absolutely fantastic! They have an office set up downstairs (in the garage) and work there most weekdays and occasionally on weekends, so you're not in a totally private house (you have your own entrance and space upstairs), but they are close by for questions. As is prevalent in the area our small dog was very welcome in this apartment. If you have a small dog be wary of coyotes that roam the area.

Gorgeous, Quiet, Clean Guest House, Near It All
Zach and Eva were amazing hosts! We truly can't imagine a more thoughtful couple. They were warm and welcoming and responded quickly to our messages. Their home too was impeccable--cozy and clean with all the amenities we could have wanted. We would be thrilled to have the chance to stay here again!

Pacific Beach Guest House With Garage and A/C
Had a great stay at this Airbnb. hist provided excellent instructions and the space was accurately described in the listing. Was a great basecamp for visiting San Diego friends and exploring the city.

Ocean/Lagoon View/New Luxury Casita /Walk To Beach
Joe and Dee Dee were friendly, proactive and communicative hosts. The casita was replete with high end finishes, tastefully decorated and had all the amenities that we could want. It is well located within Carlsbad and we would recommend this to anyone planning a visit to the area.

Beautiful San Diego getaway!
Always a great place to stay when I'm in the area
