Luxe Family House| 116" Theater| Yard | Nr Beaches
Phenomenal house and attention to detail. Very responsive. 10/10 stay

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!

Casa Del Oceano, Solana Beach
We stayed at Pete's place because it has a gorgeous pool (the pool slide was a huge hit), is close to Del Mar racetrack, and is close to the beach/ocean (you can see the ocean from the front yard). We took our two Bichons and felt safe and secure letting them out. We have family in San Diego and had a small family cook out on Sunday. The grill was awesome, and there are lots of fun things to do on the property, front and back yards. We didn't take advantage of the jacuzzi, but it was already heated up. Since the house doesn't have air conditioning, there were fans in the family room and bedroom. Large kitchen, so you can cook and bake if you don't want to eat out all the time. The house is single story, but outside there are lots of levels where you have to go up and down some single steps,so small children would need help and elderly or disabled folks may need help, too. Pete gave great directions about how to access the main entrance, and the self check-in security code.

The Glass House - A Nature Retreat
Gorgeous stay in the hills of Ramona. Lisa was very responsive and often proactively reached out to us to resolve any issues. We had a great time

Coastal Paradise - Luxury Spacious Resort Living!
Great stay! Walking distance from Seaside market, Cardiff beach, and everything else we needed for the weekend. Would definitely stay here again

New Stunning Beach House! 2 Tubs & Outdoor Shower
My wife and I enjoyed a long weekend at Ricardo's place. The location is fantastic, just close enough to the beach without being in the fray of beach traffic. The private fenced in yard with the hot tub was also very nice! Kitchen was awesome and well stocked. Also, the parking was extremely nice to have, fenced in, not on the street. This is a great place, we will keep an eye out for other weekends.

Ocean Views,Rooftop Deck,Fire Pit,Game Room,AC
Anthony's place was great! He and Amanda were super communicative and the place was easy to get into and was exactly as described. We had a great stay. If you are unfamiliar with the Carlsbad area, as we are, there are a couple of helpful things to know: - there is quite a bit of street noise as the home is directly on the street across from the Pacific. - the beach directly across the street from the house is at the bottom of a bluff - there are quite a few stairs to climb down in order to reach the beach/water. - there is no beach across the street at high tide - the water comes all the way up to the bluff - there are great beaches about a half mile either direction from the home that are easier to access. None of this would have changed our decision to stay, but would've been good to know if we were more familiar with the area. Overall great stay, at the home was very well laid out for my elderly Mother with all amenities on the first floor and not stairs to enter the home.

La Jolla Lookout- Views of La Jolla Shores
I had a wonderful experience staying at this place. The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and in a great location. Communication with the host was easy and they were very responsive to any questions I had. The check-in process was smooth, and all the amenities provided made the stay super comfortable. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a hassle-free and relaxing visit!

King Bed w/Lush Backyard Space and Fire Pit
This is the first time of this year we stayed at Shawn's house. Yes! We basically stay at Shawn's house 3 to 4 times per year, his house is in a very good location, few minutes drive to everything, nice yard for dogs, clean and comfortable living space. There's nothing we can complain about. We've booked another trip and can't wait to go there again.

Del Mar Beach Club-AC, pool,jacuzzi,tennis, views!
This was the second time that my family stayed at this AirBnB, and we absolutely love the condo's proximity to the beach. The condo itself is clean with all the basic essentials that you need... boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, and cooking supplies. Both of the times that we've stayed here the condo has been very quiet; we've never heard noise from neighbors. The condo community has several pools, hot tubs, and a tennis court plus the spectacular clubhouse with panoramic ocean views. There are lots of little coffee shops and places to walk to near the condo community and it's very family friendly. The mattresses and pillows are dated, but aside from that this condo is truly a gem.

Longboard Studio
Great location and comfortable space with all you need. Cozy bed!! Walk to the beach and restaurants was beautiful along the pacific. Would book again, thank you!!

Nature Retreat w/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit and Privacy
We stayed at The Den for our anniversary week and it was amazing! Just the perfect size and extremely peaceful for some well needed rest from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Deb had all amenities necessary for an easy and comfortable stay and we enjoyed it so much we ended up extending our stay by a night which Elizabeth happily accommodated. Would recommend!!

La Jolla Oasis: Ocean, City and Fire Works Views
We had a great stay at Atoosa’s place when we were in La Jolla for a wedding! The amenities were great and the location was super peaceful and beautiful. The place itself is also super cute. We’d love to stay again if we’re in the area!

Ocean/Lagoon View/New Luxury Casita /Walk To Beach
Joe and DeeDee are great hosts to their friends, family, and casita guests and it shows! Everything is thoughtfully laid out and set-up for the guest experience and all the finishes in their casita were beautiful. It was by far the best designed and stocked kitchen in any AirBnb we've stayed in, every room was immaculately clean, the bed and couch were super comfortable, and the bathroom was luxe. There's a private green space in front with a great view of the lagoon and beach. This was perfect for our home base during our wedding week, and wonderful that it was dog-friendly too! Will definitely be sending the link to anyone we know staying in North County San Diego.

Luxury Bay/Ocean view suite-San Diego/Mission Bay
Budd and Matt were very responsive, provided great local recommendations and their place was perfect for our few day stay in San Diego! The neighborhood was gorgeous and very dog friendly. Highly recommend for a San Diego stay.

Lake View Modern Farm House Retreat
We loved our stay here! Just what we needed for our little family getaway. The farm animals were lovely; our toddler had a blast with them. The dogs were so sweet and welcoming every time we arrived. Great place! We’d love to stay again. The farm is also a short walking distance to Guajome Lake park, which includes a playground and trails. A beautiful place!

The Ultimate Family Vacation Home | Hot Tub | A/C
Great spaces for family to hang out together and separately too. Very well appointed. Loved the deck and the hot tub! Thanks Helen. We will book again sometime.

Stables to Sea
Kerri’s home is a fabulous place to stay if you have family, an event, or if you are just looking to tour the San Diego, Anaheim, Solana Beach and other areas. It’s perfectly located to make travel easy to many popular tourist destinations in the area, including hiking and sightseeing! Her home has the MOST wonderful amenities and she is so generous with all provided. We had more than enough comforts to stay our week as a family of 4. The home is set up perfectly to get ready for formal events (I loved the vanity) and have a backyard bbq. The bed toppers make the beds so comfortable- including the pull out couch. From the kitchen to the bathroom to beach fun to rainy days, Kerri has thought of everything. The home is very clean, and the location in busy Solana Beach has beautiful views of the ocean in the distance and the city below. The freeway runs along many neighborhoods in San Diego, but it is just a white noise hum. We loved eating outside everyday. Kerri is a wonderful host!

Bungalow w Hot Tub-Sauna-Cold Plunge
What a wonderful Airbnb experience! The bungalow was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We especially loved taking advantage of the outdoor amenities, including the cold plunge, sauna and hot tub. The outdoor space was perfectly tranquil. Our daughter and dog loved playing in the yard. The proximity to downtown Carlsbad was a huge plus. We were very happy with our stay!

Secluded Guest Cottage minutes to beach
We had a lovely stay at the cottage! It was a stunning location, surrounded by nature. The cottage was so homey, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Would stay here again!

Cardiff Reef Retreat, Walk to Beach, Rooftop deck
Thank you so much for letting us borrow your beautiful home! It is usually difficult to find something so nice to accommodate our large family, but your place was perfect and we were very familiar with the area, but your suggestions introduced us to new restaurants in the area! Again, thank you for everything!

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

Gorgeous Farmhouse Style Guest House with Private
We absolutely loved our stay here in Solana Beach - we felt completely at home and wish we could have stayed a few more weeks to just relax and enjoy the amazing weather. The unit had everything we needed. It's a beautiful and peaceful space. The neighborhood is also every nice, and walkable, though you'd probably want to drive to Solana Beach and Del Ray. We would definitely stay here again!

Entire Beach Bungalow | Private Oasis West of 101
We initially planned to stay in Leucadia for a week but decided to extend our stay for a full second week because we loved this place so much. The location is absolutely perfect. We walked to the Beacons beach to surf every day and had our pick of all the best restaurants on the 101 (highly recommend Birdseye Kitchen). The house itself is cozy and surprisingly private for a place on the 101. It helped to have laundry on site and Chris was responsive throughout our visit. The house isn't as well stocked as a lot of air bnbs (no wine glasses, coffee, ice cube trays, etc.) but you will probably want to eat out most of your stay anyway because there are so many great places within walking distance. We definitely plan to come back and highly recommend this charming little nook in Leucadia! Excellent cost for value.

Your guide to Del Mar
All About Del Mar
The Californian beach town of Del Mar, located less than half an hour north of San Diego, is a popular stop on the world-famous Highway 101. The downtown area consists of an eclectic mix of architecture styles, including whitewashed buildings, beach cottages, and half-timber Tudor-style structures with a European feel. The town has been a popular vacation spot since the early days of Hollywood, when film stars would flock to Del Mar’s expansive beach and saunter down its streets under the swaying palms.
Del Mar is renowned for mouth-wateringly fresh seafood, hip cocktail bars, and luxury shopping, and the shoreline is blanketed with million-dollar mansions. Del Mar Beach is a sweeping stretch of soft sand, which gives way to the glittering cerulean waters of the Pacific Ocean, where surfers come to catch waves in the Californian sun.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Del Mar
Southern California’s renowned sunshine means that Del Mar vacation rentals are popular all year round. May and early June can sometimes be a bit cloudy, while late June, July, and August offer the warmest weather, which attracts beachcomber and swimmers to the shoreline. Every June, there is a popular local fair, where the grounds are turned into a thriving center of entertainment for all ages with more than 40 food concessionaires, over 250 vendors selling crafts, carnival rides, and local musicians. During the spring and fall, visitor numbers drop and you may even have the beach to yourself. Winter is when temperatures are at their lowest, but consistent swells make this the best time for surfing.
Top things to do in Del Mar
Del Mar Beach
This pristine two-mile-long beach is popular with sun-worshippers all year round. Surfers line the shore in the winter when the waves are at their highest, while summer brings gentler surf and more a relaxing environment for swimming and paddling. There are also two tranquil oceanfront parks, which offer a scenic setting for a coastal picnic.
Torrey Pines Natural State Reserve
Less than 10 minutes south of Del Mar, this rugged landscape is made up of nearly 2,000 acres of protected state reserve. This is one of the most untamed sections of southern California, with hiking paths passing through untouched natural environments before reaching soaring cliffs offering sweeping views out across the Pacific Ocean. Look out for humpback whales down below, as well as flowering cacti and coyotes.
Del Mar Farmers Market
Sitting just a street from the beach on Camino Del Mar, Del Mar Farmers Market showcases locally grown produce. The stalls have handcrafted artwork, heirloom tomatoes, honey, fragrant herbs, and other locally-created items. Locals pick up seasonal fruit and handmade cheeses for impromptu al fresco dinners by the waves.
