Ocean close apartment UnitB
My husband and I enjoyed our stay! It was such a cute little beach house. Small home but the layout and lack of clutter made it feel bigger and functional. It was the perfect location for easily walking to the beach or dining near the pier. We would definitely stay again!

Beach Apartment near Oceanside Pier
The location was great, close to many restaurants and shops, great ocean breeze, great ocean view from the room, beautiful grounds, and 5 minutes from my sons house on Camp Pendleton!

Beach In Beach Out
Jasmines place is a gem! In a very peaceful area, beautiful view to walk out to every morning. The outside deck was a huge plus, very cozy. She not only gave us good food recommendations but was very flexible with our check out time. Would recommend to anyone!

Mission Beach 1 BDRM w/ Large Ocean View Deck 714
Plenty of space in this little apartment, and you can’t beat the location—Mission Beach is literally just a few feet from the front door. Big thanks to Daniel, who responded quickly when I had trouble with the lock (turned out to be user error on my part!). The apartment was clean, well-kept, and looked just like the photos. The location is a perfect 10/10. We really appreciated the extra touches—beach chairs and boogie boards were available for us to use, which we loved. There's also a hose on the side of the property, so rinsing off after the beach was super easy—we didn’t even need to walk down to the public showers by Belmont Park like we usually do. Overall, a great stay!

Mission Beach Paradise with Sweeping Ocean Views
This is my second time staying at this location, it’s absolutely my favorite! Right across from Pacific Beach and in walking distance from lots of great restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a beachfront experience. The area feels safe and clean, you can see San Diego City takes care of this beach daily. As for the Air BnB itself: very clean, bathroom is spotless & kitchen is stocked with cooking utensils. It had everything we needed! Can’t wait to stay again sometime!

Studio Oceanview King in Beachfront Apt (207)
This is a wonderful stay and I will be back for sure. It was the perfect getaway to rest and relax and enjoy the beautiful beach. The room being so close to the water is spectacular!! I got lost in thought just hearing the waves.

Oceanfront w/ Private Beach
My family and I had a fantastic stay at Tamara’s Airbnb. The property was exactly as described—beautifully decorated touches, and best of all, it included access to a private beach that felt like our own hidden getaway. We had originally planned to stay at the Gaylord Hotel but stumbled upon this listing—and we’re so glad we did. Choosing Tamara’s place turned out to be the best decision. The spacious layout, multiple comfortable beds, and well-appointed bathrooms offered a level of comfort and privacy that far exceeded what a hotel could provide. When we weren’t relaxing on the private beach, we explored the charming local town and rented electric bikes from IB Bikes, which was a perfect way to take in the area’s attractions and restaurants. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, stylish, and well-located retreat!

Ocean Front Beach Condo
We loved this place. even though it was cloudy and windy, the porch was our favorite place to be! We watched Sea Lions, seagulls, pelicans and surfers during our morning coffee and dusk wine sunsets. Location was also great, within 15 to 20 minutes we were able to explore so much during the 3 days we were there. If you can only do a couple of things I suggest spending a couple of hours at the Cabrillo National Monument $20 valid for 7 days, you can hike, visit the monument, light house, tide pools, visitor center, The view is spectacular! Then head to Old Town and ride the 2 hours trolley - hop on and hop off or enjoy the full ride. Mexican food galore or stop by Little Italy for some yummy pizza! It was our first time in San Diego, but we will be back for sure, and hopefully Rick's place will be available! also a bonus, you get to use the garage!

Designer Beach Living | Steps from Blvd & Cafes
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb right on Mission Beach! The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the sand and perfect for a relaxing, chill vibe. The house was super clean, beautifully decorated, and very kid-friendly, which made it perfect for our family. The host, Evan was incredibly accommodating, even with some last-minute changes we had. He checked in to see if we needed anything and was always responsive and kind throughout our stay. We really appreciated the great communication and hospitality. Overall, we absolutely loved the experience and would definitely stay here again!

Beach Jungalow 2BD1BA Updated AC Private Parking
Perfect spot for a lil beach getaway. One block to the ocean beach surf park and plenty of stuff within a ten min walk from the house. Great location and the house had everything needed. Clean and tidy. Highly recommend

Cabin in the woods- self check in- free standing
I chose this location as a personal retreat where I could relax and work without distraction, and it didn't disappoint! The cabin is comfortable and the property is just gorgeous. I very much enjoyed sitting by the creek and reading, and working at the picnic table surrounded by trees and birds. There is also a very friendly cat who visited me while I worked. Cory is a friendly, helpful host, and as a woman traveling alone, I felt safe the entire time. I would gladly stay here again.

1 Bedroom Water View Home - South Mission Beach
We loved staying here! It is very close to Mission Bay, Mission Beach, and Mission Point. We were able to easily walk anywhere we wanted to go. Very comfy cozy house, great selection of pots and pans. The bed is extremely comfortable! The garage space easily fit our Honda Pilot with room to exit on both sides. We would definitely stay here again!

Charming Beach House | Ocean Views | w/ Parking
The accomodations at Jacqui's place were very comfortable, has everything you need, and INCREDIBLE location! We loved hanging out on the deck and turning the corner to visit the beach multiple times per day. Would definitely stay here again!

North Mission Beach w/AC, Parking, Ocean View Deck
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful studio just steps from the beach—only about 15 feet away! The space is well-equipped with plenty of amenities and surrounded by family-friendly activities. It’s perfect for a family of four, especially with young children. The studio includes a pack and play and high chair, which made traveling with our toddlers so much easier. Everything was very clean and peaceful, and having a washer and dryer was a huge plus. Ginger was kind, helpful, and very responsive. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

Steps To Beach! Family Friendly-Remote Office-Fire
The place was perfect and extremely family friendly. My kids loved the place and they are not kidding about the house being stocked with everything you need to cook with! Awesome location and took a large truck and suv and we were able to park at the house. House was clean and spacious for us. Enjoyed are stay and hope to come back! Thank you Jarrod and Maria!

Designer Beach House | AC | Attached Garage
A great stay for a family vacation of all ages. With two small children and the grandparents, the layout of the home was so needed with one master on the first level, and 2 bedrooms upstairs so we could spread out a bit. The house was spotless and organized. For being so convienent, it was also quiet and comfortable.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Upscale condo with Rooftop Deck & Ocean View!
Great place! super close to the beach. They even leave fun stuff like a closet full of things you need for the beach. We would stay again.

Steps From Beach, Panoramic Ocean Views & Parking
We loved this place! The mattress was so comfortable, I literally took the sheets off to see what brand it was. It was nice to have beach stuff ready to borrow for our stay and we loved sitting out on the front porch to eat and watch the waves.

Breathtaking Views-Steps to Sand, Beach Resort
"Just Beachy" is a fantastic, absolutely clean accommodation with an exceptional location right on the beach. Everything you need is there...and more. Contact with Lorraine was always "just in time" and provided all the necessary information, and the digital guide also contains everything you need about the entire complex. "Just Beachy" is highly recommended without exception! Thank you, Lorraine, and best regards, Annika & Noël

Ocean Views, Rooftop Deck & 1 Block to Everything!
This is our family second time coming to Oceanside. The home is clean close to the beach and restaurants. Cassandra does a great job communicating and getting back to you. We’ve never had any issues or any concerns. We’ll definitely be back for a third time. We absolutely love staying here.

Blue Water View Condo in Prime Coastal Locale
This was an absolutely spectacular property to stay at!! The location cannot be beat - just steps away from the main downtown La Jolla street (which had endless food options and shopping) and also steps away from magnificent oceanfront views - the best of both worlds! The property manager was very proactive and supplied us with additional necessities when asked very promptly. I truly do not think I will stay at another property in La Jolla (if I do I will be disappointed as nothing will compare). I would give the property a million stars if I could. It truly made our trip even more amazing and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone planning a trip to La Jolla. I know for sure we will be back, and I already can’t wait to return!! Thank you so much for your amazing property and hospitality!

Bay Front, On the Sand, with garage
This IS the place to stay on Mission Beach. We have rented quite a few places there over the years and this one was THE BEST! Perfect location, beautiful interior, clean, modern, convenient. We will definitely be back and will recommend to other Zonies!

South Beach 4 | Oceanfront 2BR in Mission Beach
Super responsive host with good instructions and communication all the way along.

Ocean front - Incredible view - great location
We have stayed in many airbnb all over the world and this place, by far, is the most complete in amenities. It had everything you need and then some. We spent a lot of time just watching the view. This place is a gem.
