The Boho Beachfront Pet-Friendly Palace w/AC
This was one of the best AirBnB experiences that we have had in quite a while. The condo was just as described. The area is very walkable and there are enough local businesses to keep you busy for a long time. By car, the area attractions are all less than 20 min away, and Sea World is only 5 min away. The laundry allows you to pay by phone so you don’t have to scrounge for quarters. The one note is that it was very difficult to park in the garage and we only have a midsize station wagonesque car. If we had a full sized SUV, it would have been a problem.

Bayfront 1-BR Apt with Views, Steps to the Sand
Perfect place to stay for business in downtown and close to family living in San Diego and southern Orange County area.

South Mission Waterfront Escape
Wow... a really great little Jem. The ocean just steps away (5 min.) easy walk for anyone. My husband loved the kitchen. Large and easy to cook in. Nice hot tub to enjoy after walking all day which I loved. All and all you won't be disappointed. It was a great time, and we will return again. kat

Sail Bay Getaway
Perfect location if you have small kids! The park is right out your front door with a calm beach attached. We were able to fit our inflatable toddler bed in the room no problem. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Modern Beach Suite w/ Private Patio + Hot Tub
Perfect place for a couple’s weekend. Inside is a little small, but with the patio and the perfect weather of SD it’s all you need. We rented bikes and biked everywhere we needed to go.

Bay View Beach House - Coastal Retreat
Location, location, location. Michael’s home is where you want to be. Less than a block to the bay and a short beautiful block to walk to the ocean. The beds were so comfortable after a long day at the beach. The showers were great and never ran out of hot water. As a family of six, we found the space spacious yet homey. It was our first time to San Diego and we hope to stay here again, hopefully for two weeks next time. Thank you, Michael!

Ocean & Bay Views w/ Private Rooftop Hot Tub
Fantastic week in San Diego! Our two families and our dogs spent a great week at Adam's place in Mission Beach. The location was perfect, right in between the ocean and the bay, so either are only a couple minutes walk. The house was very comfortable and offered many amenities. We especially appreciated the outdoor space - rooftop living, ground floor patio, multiple balconies. The beds were comfortable and the layout offered good separation between living and sleeping areas. There are three flights of stairs which we didn't mind at all, but anyone with mobility issues would have trouble with that. Our trucks wouldn't fit in the garage (we were aware of this before coming down) but found ample overnight parking nearby on El Carmel Pl. We mostly walked everywhere because there is so much so close, but also brought a couple cruisers down so we could ride beach side or bay side if we wanted to. Highly recommend this home for a beach vacation!

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!

Panoramic Luxe Ocean Views Rooftop Deck Sleeps 12
We had a wonderful trip! We spent our week at this beach house as our kick off to summer vacation with the kids. It has amazing walkability and great for families. We made core memories here with cousins and plan to stay again! Thank you!

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.

3 Levels Of Bay Views! With NEW Updated Baths!
This place was in a great location lots to do and it was very well kept up and very clean. We all definitely enjoyed ourselves and would definitely stay again. My kids really enjoyed the paddle boards and boogie boards and all the sand toys that they provided.

Ocean front condo heart of pacific beach
My family and I fell in love with this beautiful place. We spent a few days relaxing, listening to the waves of the sea 🌊 with incredible views and access on foot in front of the beach🏖️. The place is very quiet and the reception guard is very friendly. Maria, thank you very much for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment. This place is on our favorites list!! See you soon!♥️🫶🏻

This location is so ideal!! We appreciated the beach equipment that was available. Hosts were responsive and kind. Would def stay again.

One Bedroom Ocean Front Condo!
The apartment was so close to all the restaurants and easy to get to anywhere within around 15 minutes drive. Tina was an amazing host and on hand to answer any questions.

Enchanted Ocean Sunsets
When we walked in, we instantly knew this was going to be a great weekend getaway. The location is fantastic and the views from the room are stunning. Just steps away from the beach, we'd definitely come here again. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance. Plenty of things to do. Highly recommend this spot for couples, solo travelers, or friends looking for an escape without needing to drive everywhere.

Oceanview, 2 Balconies, Recently Upgraded Kitchen!
Location of this Condo is right by Crystal Pier and surrounding restaurants. It served it's purpose for my family and I. It was myself, mother, 4 teenage kids and 6 month baby. We walked the board walk before relaxing at the beach, baby fell sleep during the walk so we took him to where other family was already posted for beach day. When he woke up, we did not have a bottle but luckily the condo unit was 5 minutes back up to the room and back. With a 6 month or infant toddler age your going to have to be carrying around necessities the location of this unit minimized alot of this. Konos was a great place, they serve breakfast all day which is a win for me. There is a bar called The Hideaway, didn't get a chance to go in but they are very busy which in turns means they have to restock their supplies. This is done early morning so workers and their equipment can be heard, this did not bother us but maybe concern for those with good hearing. Our stay was great I definitely recommend.

Modern gated Condo steps from beach & attractions
Great place for a small family. Loved being so close to the beach!

Beautifully remodeled 10th floor oceanfront condo
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
