Kensington Cottage Escape- Sleeps 2!
This is a great location. The Kensington Cottage was just as described and made a great home base for a weekend full of activities in San Diego. The hosts were responsive and the neighborhood was quiet. Still there was much to do within walking distance, coffee shops, nail salons and restaurants. I will definitely be back!

Cozy Cottage - Great for Small Families Walk Beach
I found this place after an extensive search for a reasonably priced rental that was near the water and also accommodating to my party of 3. The cottage itself is quite nice and very clean, with comfortable furnishings, and a great location. Ken and Bri are very gracious hosts, communicating with them was very easy and they made sure my daughters and I were comfortable throughout our short, but wonderful stay. I think this is one of the most pleasant AirBNB stays I have had over the years. Definitely going to keep this one for future rentals!

Perfection! Steps to the Sand w/ Air Conditioning!
The cottage was as beautiful as the pictures. It was very comfortable, with ac and great hot water and an antique bath tub . It truly felt like home. We were 4 adult women and were very happy with the space; 3 bedrooms . The beds were comfy.We lacked nothing. There was even a first aid kid which came in handy. Thank you! The neighborhood location is superb; on the Bay side and a couple of blocks away from the beach. We did a lot of walking to Trader Joe’s nearby, experiencing local restaurants and shopping…and we also uber into town, La Jolla, Old Town, San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, and The Friendship Japanese Gardens. The cottage is also nearby public transportation and has a garage which we did not use but is a rare amenity in San Diego. We had a wonderful time at Molly‘s and would love to come back! Thanks again!

M&M Cottage
Jason’s place in Vista was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, well-stocked, and clearly cared for with love. The house had a perfect blend of comfort and style—cozy enough to feel like home, but with enough California beach-town charm to make the stay feel like a vacation.

La Jolla Bird Rock Beach Cottage Studio
I had a great stay at Karen’s place in La Jolla! I was recovering from surgery and she was incredibly accommodating, even letting me check in a little early, which made a huge difference. She was super responsive throughout my stay. The space itself was spotless, cozy, and felt really comfortable—perfect for resting and healing. The instructions for getting in were crystal clear, the TV worked great, and everything was just easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Ocean Beach Private Cottage Getaway
Perfect location and wonderful place to stay! The hosts were super responsive and helpful when I had any questions. Highly recommend staying here.

Grant's Getaway, cottage 1 block to beach w/AC
Great spot in OB. Good location, block from the beach. Inside was spacious and clean. Bed was comfy. Patio was super nice for meals and relaxing. Would stay again.

2-bedroom Mission Beach home with private patio
The place was great! Tracy & Brian were quick to respond and very helpful. Great location right near the bay and a short walk to the beach. We loved having access to both. Chill area of south mission beach. Great spot for our family. We would definitely return!
