Vacation rentals with beach access in Downtown San Diego

This was just what we needed for our stay! Easy walk to the bay, and to surrounding restaurants. Quinn gave very clear instructions on where everything was.

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!

We really loved staying here. it was sooo close to the beach and awesome coffee shops. We will most definitely stay again!!!!

Tamaras listing was exactly like her pictures for a first timer In san diego the location was so beautiful and peaceful right off the beach exactly what I needed for a mini vacation I loved that it had its own little cozy balcony, and rooftop grill/ fire pit overlooking the view of imperial Beach there was so much to do in walking distance you couldn't beat the price for this place would definitely recommend and the host was very helpful and accommodating to any questions we had no matter the time if day thank you for making my stay worth it !

This place was an absolute gem. Waking up to the sound of the waves and being able to walk everywhere made our stay so relaxing. It's the kind of spot where the beach feels like your backyard and adventure is always just around the corner. Falling asleep to the ocean breeze was pure magic. All in all, a fantastic escape — we’d recommend it in a heartbeat.

Clean, quiet, and cozy. 10/10 would stay again.

Seriously one of the best AirBnb’s I’ve stayed in. Amazing location. Can walk to the bays and to groceries and eateries. Very well equipped. Spacious. Bed was so comfortable too! Thank you so much for sharing your space!

We had a lovely stay at Rob’s. The location is impossible to beat with amazing restaurants, bars and coffee shops all in walking distance. The space is small as it is a studio but it was perfect for a long weekend with myself and my husband. Communication was extremely fast and everything was smooth as can be with our hosts!

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!

Great location and very well kept. Beach bungalow/ cabin vibe. Walking distance to anything and everything around Ocean Beach, which is so fun and lively but still peaceful! The cliffs down the road are a bit dangerous and windy but with the right shoes, so worth the views. We didn’t realize the hot tub was shared with 2 other units on the property but we got lucky and had no trouble using it when others weren’t and barely noticed our neighbors- they were very quiet. Owners were great and responded within seconds!

Perfect location with perfect view

The location is unbeatable!! Neighbors were friendly and we felt so safe! We loved the upstairs perch and the common area that was outside!

Great stay, felt very safe and at home. So much to do at a walkable distance, very close to the beach, 10/10 would definitely stay again. Albert was awesome, proactive at check-in, and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Our stay at the Blue Beach House was comfortable & quiet. The upstairs cottage was private, with a sweet covered porch and well stocked kitchen. Inside décor was creative & cozy. Colorful artwork and nice furnishings. The neighborhood was quiet and great for walking. Suzanne was available if we needed anything and very friendly. A great weekend stay. We would definitely stay at the Blue Beach house again and have already recommended it to family & friends. Thank you Suzanne for being a great host. sincerely, Angela & Mike from Ashland, Oregon

This was by far the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. The cottage is elegantly but comfortable decorated, linens high quality, kitchen well equipped, bathroom well designed with plenty of counter space for a small room. A heated toilet seat and bidet were appreciated! The entire property is beautifully landscaped and the little garden in back is serene. The overall design and layout are like something out of Architectural Digest. We will definitely stay here again when we are back in the area.

This gem in the heart of Ocean Beach was perfect for our five day stay. Despite being close to neighbors we never heard anything not even street noise. Chad was very friendly and helpful. We walked to many of the local pastry shops and restaurants. Highly recommend OB Donuts and Pizza Port. We look forward to returning.

Stayed for a weekend and wished it was longer! The location was absolutely fantastic. A short walk to the beach, amazing restaurants, and some fun shops. Very quick drive to SD Zoo, Balboa Park, Sea World. The parking was a little tricky and if you have anything larger than a sedan it would be difficult to navigate, but there seemed to be street parking available often and we didn't end up moving the car much since the neighborhood was so walkable! House was just as cute as the photos and the couch was super comfortable!

Great location near the bay, includes two bikes, and two parking spots. Is a cozy spot that is perfect for two people. Great communication and accommodated early check in.

This was our second stay at this apartment, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We love being so close to the beach and within easy walking distance of Ocean Beach. For week-long visits, having a well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook a few meals at home. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and having access to a washer and dryer is a huge plus. We will stay here again on our next trip to San Diego.

GREAT location and host. Has all amenities needed for a getaway. The parking spot was taken, but thankfully we found close street parking. Would stay again!

Fransico was very responsive and helpful. We had a great stay. The location was perfect and central to so many things. Would recommend.

Very nice place. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. If ever in San Diego again, my family will definitely stay here again.

Great location on Mission Beach. Emmy's book of local suggestions was great for finding good food in the area. Centrally located to all different San Diego attractions which was great. Loved the beach being right outside the door as well as the ability to walk all around Mission Beach. My family and I even walked to Pacific beach. Emmy was wonderful with checking in on my family. I would definitely recommend.

My family & I had a cherished time & we totally agree with Tooraj’s “ good vibes only” theme! The place is adorably decorated & my husband loved the real life record player, he put it on first thing ;) We appreciated all of the games & the paddle ball, all my boys had fun with that especially & I loved hearing them laugh while playing together on the beach . It truly is an exceptional place, so peaceful & so close to more action when ya want it. We spent one day at a behind the scenes tour at the safari park & the other day at the zoo, then both evenings were spent on the ocean side, Belmont park, Cannon Ball restaurant, last night we got Mexican food to go & brought it back to this darling, peaceful & truly lovely place. I also want to give a shout out to all of his neighbors, they were all so very kind & friendly;) Thank you with all our hearts Tooraj for sharing your good vibes and giving my family a special place to create cherished memories together. We are grateful 💝🙏
