Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sunset Cliffs, San Diego

Lydia was a very responsive host and was really easy to communicate with. We were a little skeptical because we knew we would be staying on the property where she lived with her family and were worried about privacy but the cabin is very private and although we naturally bumped into Lydia and her husband a few times, they did not spend any time out their back yard (where the cabin is located) for the duration of our stay so we had the place and the yard pretty much to ourselves which was great. We didn't realize how far away we would be from shops and restaurants. It is about a 20 minute walk to the nearby town so we did spend a lot of money on ubers but that was our own fault for not doing our research beforehand. Overall Lydias place is very clean and had everything we needed for our stay, she even had some stuff in the fridge and cleaning products which was really convenient. Thank you Lydia for a lovely stay.

We had a lovely time celebrating graduation and Father’s Day at Teresa‘s AirBnb! It was very spacious, had a full kitchen, and all the amenities we needed for the perfect visit. The location is perfect, with plenty of places to dine & shop! And Teresa was very quick in responding to messages! We can’t thank her enough for being the perfect host!!

Amazing stay and very well decorated unit with beautiful view. The place feels very cozy and homey and it has everything that you need. Will definitely stay there again

5/5 – Wonderful Experience! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Check-in was easy, and the host was kind and helpful throughout our stay. Great location and a comfortable space to relax. Highly recommend!

The location is unbeatable, and the views are breathtaking. Mark was responsive and thoughtful throughout the whole booking process. Once we were checked in, he reached out to make sure we were all good and had what we needed. I would love to come back here. Thanks for having us, Mark!

Husband and I enjoyed our time in this squeaky clean and cozy tiny house! Hosts were extremely communicative, kind, and accommodating. The area was perfect! One minute walk to beach. Definitely would stay again.

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!

This place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location! The photos and description were completely accurate, so there were no surprises when we arrived. The check-in process was smooth, and the host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The space was well-stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to extra towels. We especially appreciated how quiet and peaceful it was, yet still close to shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable stay!

We had such a lovely time at Jane's casita. It was so quiet, walkable to everything, and peaceful. Lots of birds to be seen from the patio. I'm glad we stayed here for our San Diego vacation and would definitely stay here again! Cute decor, too :)

David is exactly what the reviews said about his responsiveness. My family and I can say this was our best experience ever in San Diego. We felt at home and this experience made it easy for my wife and I to conclude that when traveling with our young kids, we would be better off reserving an airbnb with a great host like David. Thank you once again for your hospitality, David.

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!

Very clean and cute home on a nice street near shops, cafes, restaurants and of course the beach. A great spot to walk to places or easy to get to anywhere in San Diego. The only downside was the planes were a little loud starting early in the a.m. but that might be just about anywhere in town.

We had a fabulous time at the Granny Flat! Everything was pristine and Kristen has thought of every amenity. She was kind and responsive. We loved the peaceful backyard with gorgeous views. The location is super convenient and a max of 25-30 mins to anywhere else in the SD area. Our pups had a great time, too! Would love to stay here again!

I am a repeat guest and appreciate the space, amenities, and helpful hosts! This visit I had an issue with the lock and with a faulty carbon monoxide detector but the hosts responded immediately and the problems were quickly resolved. Very responsive and they make every effort to make your stay enjoyable.

Kathi and Byron are great hosts and the place is beautiful, exactly as described. We had a great time, the place is very close to everything, there is a liquor store just 1 block away, very comfortable bed, beautiful garden 😃😃😃😃 Thank you very much Kathi, we hope to come back soon to San Diego and we will definitely book your place again.

Katrina’s place was exactly like how she described it. It was central to all the attractions. Katrina was flexible and let us check in early! Recommend her place if you are looking to spend some time in SD!

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.

Clean, relaxing and right on the ocean! We LOVED our stay and would love to come back again. Great communication and staff too!

I was looking for a peaceful and comfortable place to relax and recharge and this fit perfectly. Anita and Brian are great hosts, friendly and helpful but still respected my privacy. The setting is also beautifully landscaped and the deck was great to have for relaxing and enjoying the water view. I can highly recommend.

A perfect place for our family during our short stay in San Diego. Clean, comfortable, conveniently located and excellent value. Teri also went above and beyond and we really appreciated her proactive help.

Anthony’s apartment was just what I needed for my adult son and me. 2 twin beds in the living room worked well as another bedroom without the cost of a 2 bedroom. The kitchen is small but had all we needed to make bfast in the mornings. Helpful to have a parking spot in back and washer dryer in unit. I really enjoyed the location next to an urban park, pretty neighborhood for walks, and short walk to restaurants and coffee shop. Anthony was super helpful when we arrived.

Quiet location, exactly as pictured and described. Parking could be a challenge if you have a large vehicle but being able to park in the garage made it easier. Great communication!

I had a great time staying at Thelma De La Paz’s place! The space was cozy, very clean, and exactly what I needed for a comfortable stay. Thelma was a wonderful host - polite, welcoming, and super responsive to any questions I had. Highly recommend!

We loved staying at Wil’s place. The place was amazing, cozy and everything we wanted for our family. We loved the aesthetic, and the pool was so fun to play in. It was quiet but close to everything we wanted to do, so it was the perfect place to come back to after a long day out. The host and hostess were amazing, friendly and extremely helpful. We can’t wait to visit again.
