Private Studio Steps2Bay +AC +Bikes (Akaroa)
This was just what we needed for our stay! Easy walk to the bay, and to surrounding restaurants. Quinn gave very clear instructions on where everything was.

Stunning Modern Suite, Free Beach Gear, Walkable
Had a birthday getaway trip for my fiancés birthday and this place was perfect! It’s a great location for walking and easy access to the boardwalk we used the free bike rentals daily it was awesome. Thank you so much highly recommended this spot ✨

Seaside Studio @ La Jolla Village
The place is super convenient for our La Jolla half marathon event. Super pretty location and lots of restaurants near by to grab food.

Oceanfront Penthouse with Private Deck & Grill
Tamaras listing was exactly like her pictures for a first timer In san diego the location was so beautiful and peaceful right off the beach exactly what I needed for a mini vacation I loved that it had its own little cozy balcony, and rooftop grill/ fire pit overlooking the view of imperial Beach there was so much to do in walking distance you couldn't beat the price for this place would definitely recommend and the host was very helpful and accommodating to any questions we had no matter the time if day thank you for making my stay worth it !

Bay Bliss: Luxurious Comfort with Stunning Views
It was a wonderful stay! Exactly as described with all amenities! We utilized the bikes a lot to get around the beaches! It was lovely and I will certainly remember the spot if we’re in the area again and recommend to friends! Thank you again Rex!!!

1 Block to Mission Bay in Pacific Beach, 1 bedroom
Seriously one of the best AirBnb’s I’ve stayed in. Amazing location. Can walk to the bays and to groceries and eateries. Very well equipped. Spacious. Bed was so comfortable too! Thank you so much for sharing your space!

Large Beach Studio, 5 Min Walk to Coronado Beach!
Pretty much perfect. Location is just stupid perfect. Walk right over to the Del Coronado, right to the beach, right to coffee. The place is perfect for a couples romantic stay. I plan on going back each year. I would suggest using their parking at the B of A right next door. Totally worth it. I really have zero bad things to say. Value A+. Easy A+ Clean A+. Safety A+++++. Lobster rolls across the street A+. Buzzed coffee around the corner A++++. I’ll be back.

Modern Luxury 2BR Apt in Heart of OB

Modern Home - Steps from the Sand - 2 Car Garage
Amazing place to stay with the family. Great beaches nearby. Tanya is an excellent host who goes above and beyond for her guests. She bought a mobile crib for our infant for our 3 day trip so he could sleep well, very few hosts would do that. Would absolutely recommend to stay at her place.

𖤓 OB Palms - 1 Br Close to all the Action!
Great location and very well kept. Beach bungalow/ cabin vibe. Walking distance to anything and everything around Ocean Beach, which is so fun and lively but still peaceful! The cliffs down the road are a bit dangerous and windy but with the right shoes, so worth the views. We didn’t realize the hot tub was shared with 2 other units on the property but we got lucky and had no trouble using it when others weren’t and barely noticed our neighbors- they were very quiet. Owners were great and responded within seconds!

Large Deck, Ocean Views, sleeps 8! Ocean Beach
We had a great time the view was awesome. We really liked that everything was close to proximity. The area felt safe and peaceful.

Chic 1-Bedroom | Ocean Views | Steps to the Beach
The location is unbeatable!! Neighbors were friendly and we felt so safe! We loved the upstairs perch and the common area that was outside!

Beautiful 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath House
Great stay, felt very safe and at home. So much to do at a walkable distance, very close to the beach, 10/10 would definitely stay again. Albert was awesome, proactive at check-in, and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Blue Beach House 🏖 5 blocks to Beach /Restaurants
Our stay at the Blue Beach House was comfortable & quiet. The upstairs cottage was private, with a sweet covered porch and well stocked kitchen. Inside décor was creative & cozy. Colorful artwork and nice furnishings. The neighborhood was quiet and great for walking. Suzanne was available if we needed anything and very friendly. A great weekend stay. We would definitely stay at the Blue Beach house again and have already recommended it to family & friends. Thank you Suzanne for being a great host. sincerely, Angela & Mike from Ashland, Oregon

Cottage in the Garden! New! Modern!
This was by far the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. The cottage is elegantly but comfortable decorated, linens high quality, kitchen well equipped, bathroom well designed with plenty of counter space for a small room. A heated toilet seat and bidet were appreciated! The entire property is beautifully landscaped and the little garden in back is serene. The overall design and layout are like something out of Architectural Digest. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in the area.

Ocean Beach Close to all
My first visit to San Diego and selecting Chad's place worked out great! Ocean Beach is a great neighborhood and was very walkable... so much to do right in the immediate area. Chad was very responsive, friendly and very welcoming! Highly recommend!! Already looking forward to a return trip to explore more.

2LRG BR Heart of Gaslamp Sleeps 10+ Great Decor
Great stay! Super walkable. 10 minute walk from the convention center and stadium. Plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. The unit we stayed in faced the street, so it does get noisy at night. Might want to bring a pair of headphones if you need. No elevator I. The building, however the stairs weren’t too terrible. Check in and check out process was clear and effortless. No or limited parking, but there are parking garages. If you’re staying local, I recommend to walk or Uber/Lyft around.

NEW! 1br Cottage w/parking 3 Blcks 2 Beach-(Punta)
Stayed for a weekend and wished it was longer! The location was absolutely fantastic. A short walk to the beach, amazing restaurants, and some fun shops. Very quick drive to SD Zoo, Balboa Park, Sea World. The parking was a little tricky and if you have anything larger than a sedan it would be difficult to navigate, but there seemed to be street parking available often and we didn't end up moving the car much since the neighborhood was so walkable! House was just as cute as the photos and the couch was super comfortable!

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.

BeachBreak #6 Spacious+Luxurious Beachfront Suite
Had a great vacation with some friends at this beautiful home. Looked outside and could see the beach and the waves. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The home was beautiful and had tons of amenities.

Good Vibes Only
had a wonderful stay in this beautiful bay front thank you for the recommendations and great hospitality.. Will be staying here again

✨Beach, Bay & Rollercoaster!🏖⛵️🎢
Great location steps away from the beach. Francisco was very responsive to any and all questions

Ocean Front Mission Beach Penthouse!
Great location on Mission Beach. Emmy's book of local suggestions was great for finding good food in the area. Centrally located to all different San Diego attractions which was great. Loved the beach being right outside the door as well as the ability to walk all around Mission Beach. My family and I even walked to Pacific beach. Emmy was wonderful with checking in on my family. I would definitely recommend.

Beach Front Condo - Capri by the Sea - Remodeled
We had an amazing stay at Nicklas’s place in San Diego! The condo is beautifully renovated and right on the waterfront—waking up to those ocean views was such a treat. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked with everything we needed, making our stay super comfortable and convenient. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making the space feel like a true home away from home. We would absolutely love to stay here again in the future. Highly recommend!
