Cottage holiday rentals in San Diego Bay

A true coastal haven indeed! This place was the perfect weekend getaway! Just a short walk to the beach with tons of great shops and cafes nearby—everything in Ocean Beach is so accessible. Having overnight parking made it easy to explore more of San Diego, from paddle boarding in the bay with super convenient gear rentals to quick trips to SeaWorld and downtown for the nightlife. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing stay with friends. The spa was a highlight—clean, cozy, and perfect for winding down after a full day. Plus, our pup loved the private patio with a pet relief area and had a blast at the nearby dog park and dog beach. Highly recommend for couples, families, or friends looking to enjoy the beach life with all the comforts of home. We’d absolutely come back—and don’t miss grabbing some Hoagies while you’re here!

This location is by far my favorite during my many visits to SD. Cutest cottage with the perfect location. Walkable to some amazing coffee shops and to the beach! Although the street has a lot of foot traffic, the cottage was very peaceful. It was never noisy and parking was never an issue for myself and guests that visited. Kristine and Clint were very responsive and gave simple instructions for us. This is a great place to relax and unplug! Thank you for an amazing time!

Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely neighborhood. ( neighbor cut me one of her roses)Easy to get around. Ocean Beach so close. I would like to recommend that some safety bars placed in the shower. It was slippery Also, microwave was difficult to get at on top of the fridge for us short er folks. But the stay was wonderful. Would recommend it to others!

This place is incredible! The beds are so comfy, the location is ideal to the bay and an area restaurants etc! The outdoor space is lovely. And the pool and hot tub are awesome! We did not want to leave! Aurrora is a wonderful host too. You can’t go wrong with this place!

We loved our stay here, the location was perfect and there were so many extra beach items for us to use. It’s a cute, cozy and safe home in walking distance to so many great places. Andrea and Larry were great, we would love to come stay again sometime!

What a perfect place to stay for pur family vacation in La Jolla Shores! Walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants. Peaceful neighborhood, quaint cottage. We'll be back!

If you have a pet, expect a few extra hundred bucks. Also, the garage is pretty small if you drive anything bigger than a small sedan. Otherwise, great location and nice look. Theme was cute and very comfortable space.

We had an amazing stay at Russell’s house. He was very prompt in addressing our queries related to the house. The house was clean, cozy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Our stay in Bird Rock was amazing. This rental was exactly what we were looking for. Super accessible to everything we needed. Short drive to beaches and restaurants (if you want to go further into La Jolla). Plentiful coffee, pastries, açaí bowls all around. It was great spending mornings on the roof top patio drinking our coffee and planning the day. 10/10 would stay again. Thanks Matt!

This cottage was exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of calm I hadn’t experienced in a long time. The place is super well-designed—cozy, comfortable, and with so many little thoughtful touches that make it feel like a true retreat. It’s one of those places where you instantly feel at home. What really stood out to me was how peaceful it was. I’d wake up to birds chirping in the morning, and at night, I’d hear coyotes howling softly in the distance. It was the kind of quiet that just lets your mind relax, which was perfect for me since I’ve been working a really high-stress job. Being able to come back to this space every day felt like a reset button for my brain and body. And I can’t say enough good things about Marina. She’s such a kind and genuine person—so easy to communicate with, always quick to respond, and just incredibly thoughtful. You can tell she really cares about her guests having the best experience possible, and it makes a huge difference.

We loved our stay at Atalanta’s place! Very walkable neighborhood with lots to do nearby, the beach only a few blocks down, and very comfortable place to stay after a long day! Very accommodating and our dogs were very comfortable as well!

We had a great time in Ocean Beach, his place is super close to the beach and all kinds of restaurants and target. it is not loud at all at night time. the guy next door at the cycle shop is nice. I felt safe being there with my kids. I read reviews so brought my own toaster, no big deal. Smelled and felt clean. my kids liked the pull out couch. The only suggestion I would make for the owner is clean up the outside area where we park it's realy dumpy looking. But will definitely stay again.

Exactly as advertised. PB is a lively area and being less than a block from the beach/boardwalk was perfect.

We had a great time staying at Terri’s place for a week. It was me, my husband, our 1.5 year old daughter and dog. The space was perfect for our little family and gave us so much flexibility. It is walking distance to a grocery store, casual and fine dining, bodegas, taco shops, bakeries, ice cream shops, you name it. We were able to enjoy our afternoons out and then cook or grab takeout for dinner after bedtime. The patio was a great place for us to hang out during the day and night. Others mentioned the noise of La Jolla Blvd but we didn’t mind it at all! In fact there was great people watching and we still felt like we had privacy enough to sit out in PJs. Thank you so much for letting us stay! I definitely recommend for small families looking to explore La Jolla and Bird Rock.

We had a wonderful stay. We loved being a very short walk from the beach and only 15 minutes to the airport. The house was well-equipped and very clean. We appreciated having sufficient linens, beach accessories, and kitchen appliances, dishes and cookware. The kids loved the games and the boogie boards. The private patio and front deck were great spaces to dine and relax. The owner was very responsive and responded immediately to our messages. Next time, we will stay longer to explore the shops and restaurants nearby.

Cute cottage in the heart of South Park, a fabulous neighborhood in San Diego. The cottage is full of charm, and even though the cottage is located behind the main house, it is very private and quiet. There's even a great outdoor space for morning coffee or afternoon drinks. The cottage is two short blocks from the center of South Park where there are great restaurants, bars, coffee shops, boutiques, and even a gym. We stayed in the cottage for two weeks and had a wonderful time. Amy is an amazing host. She's so sweet and kind and really makes you feel at home. The only downside is that parking can sometimes be an issue, but the neighborhood is very safe and we didn't mind walking.

I stayed at this unit for over about a month and a half while searching for a home to buy. It is EXACTLY what I was looking for: very clean, easy location, and a lovely modern feel. I would have been very happy for a more extended stay, should that have been needed/an option. An awesome Airbnb experience :)

Sandra’s place was perfect , perfectly located for beach activities. Perfect for our getaway. I would recommend it to everyone.

Had a fantastic birthday weekend at the Secret Cottage! Bill was a fantastic and hospitable host that went above and beyond in every way. It is obvious why he is considered a super host. Probably one of my best Airbnb experiences so far. I will definitely be back if I can find any availability. Thank you again!

Perfect spot for our needs. Comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood, and had everything we needed! We would love to stay again.

Absolutely exceptional — the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. The photos are stunning, but somehow the place is even better in person. The home was spotless, beautifully designed, and full of thoughtful touches — we were especially grateful for the cozy robes and the oat milk creamer in the fridge! The kitchen is fully stocked! We loved waking up and falling asleep to the breathtaking view — both the daytime and nighttime views are incredible. Using the telescope was such a fun bonus! Like other reviewers, we spent a lot of time on the patio, and the surprise highlight was learning about the green parrots of Ocean Beach. We heard and saw them every morning — magical! The location is perfect, too. We walked easily to downtown OB and loved being part of such a gorgeous, welcoming community. The beds were super comfortable the linens were soft, and the bathroom felt spa-like. Anna truly thought of everything, including all the beach gear. Thank you Anna for sharing your home!

Gabriel and Jenny’s place was a gem for our trip! We loved looking out at the city from all sides both at night and during the day. The kitchen had all the basic tools we needed, and the booklet they left out for our use was full of helpful instructions. We enjoyed writing in the guest book as well and overall loved our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Prime location, Sterile Clean-just how I like it! And the use of the space was practical, which made for an easy, pleasant stay. Also- we had no issues finding parking!
