San Marcos Private Garden Cottage
We had such a lovely stay at Dons! I decided to have a little staycation from San Diego after graduating and his cottage was such a perfect spot for that. The hot tub was an amazing touch for relaxing! The backyard is kid friendly, my 6 year old loved to “explore”. There is a nice fireplace that we didn’t get to use unfortunately. Don was very kind and had great communication. We didn’t see him the whole time, until the end of the trip when my husband was putting the cover back on the hot tub! He came out and gave him a hand. Thank you Don for offering your home to us!
Charming Seashell Cottage Overlooking Garden
So eloquently and thoughtfully appointed in terms of design. So quiet and peaceful, and exceptionally clean. All of your potential needs are thought of.

BEAUTIFUL Private Studio
Thank you, Sean & Summer for being friendly and welcoming hosts. The studio was exactly as pictured and the location was perfect. My husband and I had an amazing trip to SD and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay!

"Inn Bloom" on Fire Mountain
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Oceanside Getaway! Staying at Leanne and Jim’s was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel completely at home with their warm hospitality and thoughtful touches. They go above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of — you can genuinely feel how much they care about their guests. The guest home itself is absolutely majestic. Nestled right by the ocean (2mi), it’s a peaceful, serene retreat with beautiful greenery and a calming atmosphere that melts all your stress away. Every corner of the space is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. If you’re looking for a quiet, luxurious, and welcoming escape by the sea, look no further. Leanne and Jim’s place is a hidden gem, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Fletcher Hills - modern 1 BR.Easy, no step access.
We had a fabulous time at the Granny Flat! Everything was pristine and Kristen has thought of every amenity. She was kind and responsive. We loved the peaceful backyard with gorgeous views. The location is super convenient and a max of 25-30 mins to anywhere else in the SD area. Our pups had a great time, too! Would love to stay here again!

Modern Surf Cottage
We had the best time in the cottage! It’s the perfect location to walk and bike from. The cottage is small, but so cozy and felt like a little oasis. My fiancé, our dog and I are all so looking forward to coming back!

PRIVATE CASITA nestled in a great neighborhood
Quite and peaceful location. Easy drop down from her hilltop location to the freeway. Clean and cute place. Great communication. Enjoyed my stay!

1,000 SF Pool House on a Spacious Quiet Oasis Lot
Thank you Nicholas for renting us your beautiful house. We definitely recommend it. We are looking forward to rent it again the next time we visit California.

Adorable cottage in Talmadge
The place was clean. comfortable and conveniently located for our purposes. Carlos is friendly and easy to work with. It’s the second time we’ve stayed there and hopefully, not our last.

Free Bikes. 5 min walk to Windensea Beach La Jolla
We loved our stay in La Jolla! Carolina cozy cottage was the perfect location and we had a relaxing long weekend enjoying short walks to the windansea beach and la jolla cove. The cottage was immaculate and styling was top notch! We could not have asked for a better stay and would love to stay here again soon :)

Private Garden Guesthouse 9 Miles from LegoLand
The Airbnb was very comfy for the family of 5 we had. It was nice and clean when we arrived and we were planning to buy stuff like shampoo, detergent and water but all of those amenities were included with our stay here. Definitely saved us money and time. Aside from how far the stores from there, I definitely recommend this place for a comfortable place or getaway place with family.

SDSU Central Cozy Casita | Fast Wi-Fi | Walkable
We always stay at Nancy’s and Jacob’s casita when we are in town to visit family. The casita is a lovely and quiet retreat, close to shops and within a 4 Minute walk to a great coffee shop. It is a special treat to stay there in May when the Jasmine hedge is blooming, the fragrant flowers delight us and the bees and make time on the patio extra fun. We highly recommend the casita and Nancy and Jacob as hosts.

SDCannaBnB #1 *420 *parking *dog-friendly *hot tub
This a amazing place to stay and they are wonderful hosts. We tied the knot and were so happy to be able to celebrate here.❤️ Thank you Zina & Craig

Fallbrook Treehouse on quiet Bluff. Wifi & Parking
Jonathan’s place is quite beautiful. It’s easy to access with a parking spot and privacy. We were visiting for a wedding in Temecula and his place worked out great for us. The bed was comfortable, hot water and clean bathroom, kitchen has the basics you’d need for a short stay, and overall affordable. Would recommend!

Private 1 King Bed, 1 Bath, w Patio
2nd time here! Quiet neighborhood and clean inside! super friendly hosts

Cozy ADU in San Diego’s suburban rural mix area.
This place was AMAZING! My partner and I stayed with our dog and we loved the calmness and peaceful atmosphere. We will definitely be back! Everything was as described and easy to find with locations.

Lovely Guesthouse in garden setting
We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

Beautiful Private Villa walk to beach
We loved staying at Kim’s villa, we were comfortable and very much at home. We slept well and loved the surroundings. Thank you Kim, will definitely be back!

The Happy Family * 2 playhouses near SDSU!
We loved our stay. From the beginning, Jessica was very responsive and friendly. The place was exactly as pictured. Jessica put so much thought into the small details that many other places don't think about. There was a pack and play for my almost 2 year old, but what stood out was the memory foam mattress insert and she provided tiny linens, pillow, and blankets. I've stayed at other places where they literally only had the pack and play and that was it. We were told to bring our own linens. My daughter used the toddler cot which also had linens and blankets. My kids loved the playhouses outside. They swept the outside area of any leaves every day. Pretty genius of Jessica to provide kid brooms to help keep her place clean. Now if only I can convince them to clean when we're at home! We would definitely stay again or try the larger main house if we come back.

Gorgeous, Quiet, Clean Guest House, Near It All
This was such a beautiful guest house in a nice, peaceful, and quiet neighborhood. Everything was really clean and the amenities were amazing! Communication was great and the hosts Zach and Eva were so polite and very friendly with quick response times. There’s a fun Las Vegas theme outdoor area near the pool and their garden is gorgeous. There are stairs in the house that are steep so they might be a little bit difficult for someone with a physical disability or the elderly but this is listed in the description. Overall, I highly recommend this listing to anyone wanting to stay near San Diego!

New Guest House - North Park
Lynae’s place was wonderful, as was Lynae! Balboa park right nearby, with gorgeous trails and scenery. Walkable to North Park area which had a fun variety of bars, shops, and restaurants. Lynae was a wonderful host - responsive, kind, flexible - and the home was bright, airy, with gorgeous views. We couldn’t say enough good things about the wall of jasmine walking in. Thank you Lynae for having us in your home!

Private 2 bedroom apt in new craftsman ranch!
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The 2-bedroom place was sparkling clean and so cozy - perfect for our family. Even though the weather wasn't great, the views were still lovely, and our little one was thrilled to spot some small animals around the property. The fresh oranges from the tree were a delicious treat, and the tiny swings inside were a big hit! The clean bathroom was also a huge plus. We highly recommend this spot for families.

Beautiful San Diego getaway!
This space was exactly as pictured and worked well for me to get around vista, Oceanside and San Marcos. Easy ride down to SD as well. Would book again.

Adorable Cottage 5 Blocks to the Beach w/AC!
Lovely cottage located in the best area of San Diego. James was very kind and flexible, he allowed us to check in earlier than expected. We highly recommend this property!!
