Mission Beach Favorite - Steps To Beach and Bay
This place is awesome and as described. Super walkable to the water and numerous restaurants. It's still pretty quiet inside though. Instructions were clear so they were easy to follow. Carl was also quick to respond when I had a question. Overall had a great time and will definitely be coming back to this gem of a place! ☺️

Paradise Penthouse: Mission Beach and Bay
Loved staying here a second time! Make sure you drop people off/unload in front of the unit to avoid making others wait to park and don’t get a giant car - the garages are a tight fit like everywhere else in mission beach.

1BR/1BA, AC, Private Balcony, BBQ & Washer/Dryer
The location was perfect for our weekend. We met Ian right as we got there an he made sure we entered from the alley. He was very friendly and helpful. Loved the recliners, would definitely stay there again.

Pacific Beach Luxury Condo Rental Steps to Bay
Everything was awesome! Looks just like the pictures as well. In the middle of everything so no more than a 15-20 min drive to where ever you are heading.

Bayfront Beauty: 3BR Mission Bay Retreat
Beautiful apartment just as pictured. We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is clean and spacious. Mark was very friendly and responded quickly to any questions we had. Great location not too far from La Jolla.

South Mission Beach Bungalow
I recently had a delightful stay at an Airbnb in South Mission Bay, and I can’t recommend it enough! The location is perfect—just a short walk to a variety of restaurants and a fantastic coffee shop nearby that made my mornings enjoyable. The check-in and check-out process was seamless and straightforward, which made everything feel hassle-free. The host was incredibly communicative and flexible with my arrival and departure times, which I truly appreciated. Being so close to the beach was a major highlight, allowing for leisurely strolls along the shore and spontaneous dips in the ocean. The overall vibe of the place was simple yet intimate, making it a cozy retreat for anyone looking to relax. If you’re considering a getaway in this area, this Airbnb is definitely worth it!

Ocean Front Beach Condo
We loved this place. even though it was cloudy and windy, the porch was our favorite place to be! We watched Sea Lions, seagulls, pelicans and surfers during our morning coffee and dusk wine sunsets. Location was also great, within 15 to 20 minutes we were able to explore so much during the 3 days we were there. If you can only do a couple of things I suggest spending a couple of hours at the Cabrillo National Monument $20 valid for 7 days, you can hike, visit the monument, light house, tide pools, visitor center, The view is spectacular! Then head to Old Town and ride the 2 hours trolley - hop on and hop off or enjoy the full ride. Mexican food galore or stop by Little Italy for some yummy pizza! It was our first time in San Diego, but we will be back for sure, and hopefully Rick's place will be available! also a bonus, you get to use the garage!

New Listing! Modern Boho Vibes! Walk to the Sand!
I was in need of an Airbnb and stumbled upon this listing. I was very pleased to find such a gem of a find! The location is steps away from the water and a close walk to close by coffee shops. The place itself was clean and spacious, I felt right at home! It really has everything you need for a stay in San Diego. Ariel was also very communicative for any concerns I had and checked in to make sure everything was okay. Would definitely stay here again!

Bayfront Condo in Mission Beach
Had a great stay with my family. The place was clean and safe for a 3 year old, great views and great walkability. Would stay again.

The Boho Beachfront Pet-Friendly Palace w/AC
We really enjoyed our stay in San Diego! This place was perfect! We had easy access to the beach, and there were lots of nearby restaurants/cafes. It’s a perfect central location and has everything you need for a great stay in San Diego! Our host was very responsive and kind.

Bright, Spacious Studio the Heart of San Diego!
Great place to stay for a few days! Host was very responsive and super helpful. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. My husband said he slept great in their bed! Lots of windows and natural light which is great unless someone is staying in the studio across the patio. The shades on all the doors/windows provided great privacy though! Great bang for your buck, would definitely stay again!

Bayfront 1-BR with Stunning View Steps to the Sand
Beautiful view

Sail Bay Getaway
Perfect location if you have small kids! The park is right out your front door with a calm beach attached. We were able to fit our inflatable toddler bed in the room no problem. We would stay here again without hesitation.

1 BDR Bungalow - Block from beach
The people sharing our compound were very friendly and welcoming, our ‘guard dog’ Frankie became our bud. If you like walking, there is so much to see and wonderful food options nearby. OB is a very special place!!!

Modern Ocean Beach Cottage
Very clean house and was a very great location. The house was very well kept and we were very happy with our stay

Modern Beach Suite w/ Private Patio + Hot Tub
Great spot in SD. Most things are within 20 minutes to drive. Very short walk to beach. Parking is tricky depending on the time of day or if it’s the weekend but overall stay was good.

"10 min away from everything"
Place was very nice and worked well for us. Definitely keeping in mind for future visits.

Hidden Gem with Hot Tub and Parking - 4 Guests
Adam was an absolute lifesaver. After being left stranded by another host, I sent a last-minute request and he responded right away with kindness and professionalism. The home was immaculate, with so many thoughtful and charming touches that made me feel right at home. The space was quiet, the water pressure and temperature were perfect, and everything was just as described. There was a minor issue with a guest accidentally taking my parking spot, but Adam resolved it immediately—he was truly on top of everything. This stay turned what could’ve been a stressful night into a peaceful and welcoming experience. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend booking with Adam !

South Mission Waterfront Escape
The place was very clean and the shower was really nice. The host was very quick to respond when I did have to send a message. There was a lot of construction in the area and they did start fairly early but honestly with the windows closed you could not here any of it or even the planes flying above and the fans kept it very cool so the windows did not need to be opened. The hot tub was honestly my favorite amenity. The boardwalk and amusement park was an added bonus to have nearby. Definitely a great place to stay!

~Hot Tub Getaway in Central San Diego~
Can’t say enough great things about this place! First off, Jay and Erika are PHENOMENAL hosts! There was a minor issue with the hot tub, and it was fixed the very next day! Jay and Erika were prompt in tending to the issue and making sure everything was up to par! The gravel parking area behind the unit is perfect and has ample room for multiple cars! The unit is in a very quiet and chill neighborhood and about 15 minutes from a plethora of restaurants in North Park! The hot tub and bed are both great for certain activities (wink wink), and the Roku TV is also a great touch! I will add this place to my list of places to stay when visiting San Diego, and will be booking again soon! Don’t hesitate to book Jay’s and Erika’s place!

Barrio Logan Loft/ Detached Guest House
Hector was an amazing host, very proactive and great response time. The place is central to everything you need while visiting San Diego. My wife and I travel a lot, so this was a great choice for us. The place and neighborhood were very quiet and the place is well kept. We’d gladly book with Hector anytime we’re in SD… 10 out of 10 host.

Walk to Balboa Park South Park Hot Tub Hideaway
I stayed here with my husband in December. Super cute place! Has kind of a mid-century feel to it and was very cozy It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to most of the shops and restaurants and South Park. Only about a 10 minute walk to Kindred and Buona Forchetta Neighborhood is nice and quiet, and there was plenty of street parking while we were there (which can be challenging in South Park so we were stoked) Bed was comfortable and they had extra blankets that we used since it was cold. We also used the electric charger for our EV, which was an awesome perk Overall, this Airbnb is cute and in a great location. Highly recommend and would stay here again!

La Jolla Windansea Paradise Three
I could not have been happier with my stay!! I wanted to feel like a “local” and also be incredibly close to the beach and this place achieved both of those goals. Literally couldn’t have been closer to coffee shops, restaurants, downtown La Jolla, Windansea, etc. I walked everywhere!!! The Airbnb itself was some homey and cozy, I wish I’d had more time to truly take advantage of all of the awesome amenities that the community space had to offer. Would highly highly recommend Cy’s Airbnb at Paradise!!!

Bike to North Park, Loaner bikes/surfboards, Games
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a great central location and easy to Uber around to wherever we wanted to travel to each day in San Diego. The hot tub wasn’t super clean but the house was spotless. The WiFi was spotty which wasn’t ideal but thankfully we weren’t on a business trip. The host was very responsive and did help us out with sourcing an iron and ironing board which we needed for the wedding we were in town for. They were super accommodating which we were grateful for!
