Southern California Luxury in Quiet Neighborhood
This is one of the most well thought out homes I’ve ever stayed at globally. The home is stunning and so well designed, even more beautiful than the photos. We loved how the pool was next to the master bedroom. This home has everything you need and more. Would love to stay agin!

Oceanside Outdoor Dream with pool , spa, and BBQ
My 2 colleagues and myself stayed here for a total of 8 nights as we were in town for a conference. It was brilliant and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend Oceanside and this property .

La Jolla Beach House-Family Focused-3min to Beach
We had a fantastic week in La Jolla! John’s place was charming, spotless, and perfect for our family. The home was well-stocked with thoughtful amenities—including beach gear—and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The location is unbeatable: a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood within a few minutes walking distance to the beach, great restaurants, coffee shops, and more. John was a friendly and responsive host who made everything easy from start to finish. Honestly could not have asked for a better host. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing, convenient stay in La Jolla. We’d love to come back!

Mountain Top Getaway w/ Pool & Hot tub
Great peaceful location perfect for our size of family. Parking is a little tricky with four cars but manageable. Loved the view and landscaping. We felt very safe and at home in this place. Thank you for memories.

Secluded Resort View Home. Salt Water Pool & Spa.
Had a great Time. House is beautiful and the view was outstanding. We loved listening to and seeing the wildlife and birds. The Beds were very comfortable. The Kitchen was well supplied, plenty of dish ware, cups, bowls etc. The Pool table kept us all entertained. We loved having a TV in every room, the 83 in was nice and big. Plenty of seating for meals and for watching TV. The Pool was nice and big, and spa seat us all and got plenty warm enough was a little hard to get in and out of the Pool and Spa with no rails but otherwise great, even saw the owl fly into his home. Overall Fantastic defiantly a 5 Star

Kids Love Us! Legoland Home With A Pool
Amazing experience. Vi’s place was homey beyond expectation. My wife was very impressed with how available everything was especially in the kitchen because we are a family of 6 and always eating out would have not been cost effective. We felt right at home. My wife especially loved the complementary fruits, water, and treats. The kids rooms were packed with toys and books they could read and play with in their spare time which was amazing. The living room was filled with board games for the entire family. The garage also had amazing games for the entire family with foldable chairs and equipment for the beach and camping. There was so much to do in the house that staying in was not in the slightest boring. The entire family enjoyed the pool and the spa and had an amazing time especially on the days we stayed in. I certainly would be booking Vi’s place again anytime we are in San Diego.

Bamboo Lake House-Tropical paradise & LOTS OF FUN
We canceled our plan to go to the zoo because my kids love this place so much—they just want to stay here and play, and they don’t even want to leave.

Family Beach Bungalows - Steps to beach & Village!
Rarely do we ever return to a place we've stayed at before because we just want to make new memories and be open to new things. This place has been the exception, we couldn't wait to come back! We stayed at the Blue Ocean Cottage in May of 2024 and had such a great time that we did it again May of 2025! The proximity to the beach, the village and the quiet neighborhood can't be beat. This has been the perfect place for our family to spend time together, making dinner and playing games. Beach is so close, it's easy to pop over anytime. Grandparents (my wife and I) loved the cottage out back where we could have some quiet time to ourselves. The kids (twenty somethings) and grandchild equally enjoyed have their "own" space in the main house. Property is only 15 minutes from Oceanside harbor where we went on a whale/dolphin watch, which I can't recommend enough. It's about 10 minute drive to Legoland with traffic. Wonderful family memories at the Blue Ocean Cottage!

Oceanside Ocean-View Guest Studio
We really enjoyed our stay! Great location and hosts were had good communication. Parking was readily available out front and check in and out was very easy.

Oceanfront | Private Beach Access | BBQ | Sonos
Our stay was delightful. We left relaxed and refreshed. Each morning we awakened to the sounds of crashing waves and expansive ocean views. The home is cozy and comfortable as is the back patio that was perfect for meals, soaking up the sun and evening chats. The morning tide pools were great to explore and we spent a lot of time walking the beach. It was a fabulous beach weekend for our party of six adults. I also want to commend the property management team on their excellent communication. Instructions were clear and they were immediately responsive to our needs. Really glad to have enjoyed this home and looking forward to visiting again soon.

Steps to the beach, Lego room, Gameroom and Gym
10 and her partner were great at hosting us while we stayed in Carlsbad we enjoyed the view the walk to the beach the game room they went above and beyond by getting my child some snacks and a pizza so it would be there when we arrived this was amazing which was amazing when traveling with kids will be back to stay

Palm Grove: Luxe King, Wet Room & Chef’s Kitchen
I had a nice stay at Dries and Alex beautiful home. It’s very well taken care of, I hope future Airbnb people will take care of the home in the future . I am very allergic to scents and everything was unscented which was so nice. I felt very safe here. As you can see in the photos it’s decorated very nicely. I’m very grateful to the host for their kindness and having me at their beautiful home.

Cardiff Beach Cottage Ocean View
It was absolutely charming. We enjoyed our short stay, only regret was not having more time to enjoy it more. Beds and bedding was comfortable. Kitchen is fully stocked. Plenty of thick towels and beach towels. My grandsons loved sleeping in the loft. We were 20 minutes away from Sea World minutes from great parks for the boys. The owner was wonderful. Thank you so much.... We will book again. Chris and Lorena & four grandsons

Chestnut By The Sea
Had the BEST time at chestnut by the Sea. The house is so well thought out the beds are incredibly comfortable, everything is exactly like the pics. We used every space and felt right at home. Having the sauna and hot tub makes you feel like you’re at a resort. Also the out door kitchen and fire pit were a perfect place to hang at sunset into the evening. This was a girls trip, but I would absolutely go back with my family. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

NEW—Your Pacific Paradise, Your Days by the Waves!
This place is GORGEOUS. My guests and I kept saying we wish we could live there forever! Walking location to many amazing locations, and a great price for such a newly renovated, beach view location. Thank you so much!

Beach, Golf, & Sun Await+ No added cleaning fees!
Kellys place was just as described; super loaded with things to do, games of every kind, ping pong in the garage ( a blast) a firepit and life-size chessboard in the backyard ( we played) and in walking distance of VONS grocery and a nice shopping center (a few of us walked there). The bedding was super comfy and I LOVE the plantation shutters which showcase the beautiful surroundings. I also want to thank Kelly for being so helpful. I reached out a few days before our check-in and asked if she had a cofee grinder (they have both a kuerig and regular coffee pot) and she said she thought they did, but if they didn't, she''d buy one. And It was there upon check-in. :-) The BEST! We highly recommend, miss it and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Oceanfront House w/Private Beach & Stunning Views
Renata’s home was immaculate and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation.

Coastal retreat walking distance to beach!
This house is wonderful and would stay again. My 3 children and my mother and myself fit perfectly. We walked to the beach daily. Lots of amenities at the house for the kids to play with. We slept comfortably. Really nice space!

Sunsets at the Beach House - Private Beach
I recently stayed at this beach house, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with the stunning ocean views. The house itself was immaculate, nicely decorated, and equipped with all the amenities I could possibly need. I especially loved the deck where my family and I enjoyed our morning coffee while watching the sunrise. The bedrooms were also cozy and comfortable. I appreciated the thoughtful touches, like coffee, snacks, and beach towels provided for our use. Casago management is also very responsive!
