Private Family Friendly Casita/Guesthouse
Nice and quiet neighborhood. Private and large space. Great for family stay. Would recommend.

The Flying Mermaid
Great place to stay. Beach, shopping and restaurants all within walking distance. Quiet neighborhood. Quality toilet paper. Perfect for one person, but could work for two people as well.

Gorgeous, Quiet, Clean Guest House, Near It All
Everything was wonderful! My daughter and I loved it. Eva and Zach truly covered every little detail! Staying here has renewed my love for Airbnb's. I have noticed that some rentals have become less personal and more of a management style. Eva and Zach were responsive and detailed to my messages. Because of all the trees and plants we felt as if we were on a tropical vacation. The pool was nice, we had it to ourselves. The inside of the home felt as if it was newly remodeled, very clean. I agree that the stairs to go up to the bedroom area are a bit steep. However, I'm clumsy and I did not have an issue. The roof top deck was peaceful. The location was perfect not far from attractions, but also away from the traffic and noise. We are hoping to make this home our annual mother, daughter spot. If I have to use one word to sum up our stay it would be Zen! Oh! And take their recommendation and eat at Uncle Tony's! Seriously the best Italian food and old school customer service.

Beach Rock Retreat - Private Encinitas Guesthouse
Tara’s house is beautiful, modern and clean. The private location was quiet, parking was easy and there was total privacy. We thought it was an excellent value for a two week stay while visiting our family in the area. We would definitely stay again if it is available for our next visit to Encinitas!

"Inn Bloom" on Fire Mountain
The grounds were immaculate. Very roomy guest home. Well stocked with entertainment and kitchen/bath essentials. Would stay again.

Private 2 bedroom apt in new craftsman ranch!
Loved our stay! Great casita on beautiful grounds.

PRIVATE CASITA nestled in a great neighborhood

1,000 SF Pool House on a Spacious Quiet Oasis Lot

Garden Casita
Jessica was an amazing host and hosted a fantastic room would definitely recommend booking with her if you’re ever in Escondido

Relaxing Wine Country Escape with Stunning Views
This was truly a beautiful and peaceful retreat! I had an impeccable stay at Kristopher’s. The space was spotless, the kitchen was well stocked, and there were clear directions for everything. The bed was comfy, and the furnishings were lovely. Kristopher was extremely friendly, always responsive and very welcoming. Check in and out was seamless. Five stars all around. Couldn’t have been happier with my stay!

Free Bikes. 5 min walk to Windensea Beach La Jolla
We had a great stay at Carolina's property. The property looks exactly like the pictures (really cute and bright) and any amenity that you might need was provided. Carolina is quick to communicate and very helpful. We will definitely return!

Stunning Oceanview Treehouse - 4 Blocks to Cove
Quite possibly the best Airbnb experience to date! The entire stay and transaction was seamless! Highly recommend!

Adorable Hawaiian themed Guest House
Everything was cool from the house to the pool to Louis. The dog the zip line in all felt really homey .

Moonrise Cottage at Buena Terra Lavender Farm
The photos don't do this rental justice. It is so beautiful and everything is decorated so nicely. The home is very clean and there are so many thoughtful details in the decor. She even had games, yoga mats, and robes for us to use. The main reason we came here was for the pool so we could spend Father's Day relaxing and swimming. The pool was amazing. Even without it being heated, it was the perfect temperature. We will definitely be back. Thanks Heidi!

Newly Built Modern Guest House
Daniella was extremely kind in allowing me and my bridal party to use her space to get ready for my wedding, and she was very helpful and flexible with us throughout the stay. The place was also spotless and cozy, and we are very grateful to have been able to stay here. Thank you!

Central studio w/ private outdoor space & parking
We stayed here for our Honeymoon Getaway, and I think this was just perfect for it! It had everything we needed as a young couple there to checkout the town. Nice fully stocked little kitchen perfect to prepare a few things in house, or have a refrigerator and microwave to save the leftovers after eating out. They even a few breakfast items and things stowed away in the pantry closet that we found very helpful. Everything was as described, and very comfortable and clean. We would stay again 🥰

- Cozy & Private Guesthouse - ADA Compliant
It is hard to imagine finding a better place to stay than Irina's home. Irina's place is excellent in every category. The most important category that we care about is that the home is very clean. This place is spotless. Irina is a fantastic host. Always asking if there is anything She could do to make our stay better. We were here for a job and enjoyed how comfortable we were in the house after a long day at work. This place is a winner!!

Guesthouse - prime location next to BEACH!
If you're looking for peace, relaxation and an escape from the stress of reality, this is the place. Peaceful, tranquil and serene. Walking distance to bike rentals, various coffee shops and restaurants. A staircase leading to the beach pretty much right outside your door and might I add glorious sunsets in the distance. I'd return!

Rancho Relaxo / Spacious Detached Guest House
my daughter and I stayed at Susie and Britt's poolhouse for 6 nights when we were in the San Diego area for a wedding. At first we thought we would look for a beach rental but then heard that it can be foggy on the coast during May and June and going 5 miles inland can make a big difference with weather. we looked in Rancho Sante Fe because that we where the wedding venue was located and we really hit the jackpot! Everything is just as described- very relaxing times in the jacuzzi and by the fire pit in the evenings. The travel to the surrounding SanDiego sights was super easy. Highly recommend this rental!!!

❤ Cozy Private Studio w/ WD 2 Minutes from Freeway
Wonderful stay! Home away from home! had everything I needed for an extended stay. Will be back for sure!

Cardiff by the Sea Beach Bungalow
We had a peaceful and relaxing stay at Hugh’s place. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated as shown in the listing photos, and surrounded by an amazing garden. The bed was super comfortable, the location was quiet and close to everywhere we wanted to go in Encinitas. Hugh was a very welcoming host. We hope we’ll have the opportunity to stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks again for a fantastic stay!

Cozy Casita Close to Beach, Restaurants, Shops
Steve was very responsive and helpful during our stay. The place is in a beautiful neighborhood with amazing options for food. We loved it!

Guesthouse with beautiful views, heated pool ,spa!
The guest house on Kris’s plot was as advertised and just what we needed for our stay in North County SD. Thanks for the wonderful time! My kids had a particularly good time.

Private San Diego Guest House - Beautiful View
This place lived up to all the other great reviews. It was very peaceful, felt like home away from home, quiet, private, clean. Close to shops and the highway and a good location for San Diego visitors. Easy parking. Laundry available. Everything you need to feel comfortable. Denelle is great at communicating and providing clear details. I would stay here again!
