Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Prime location in La Jolla Cove
This location is by far my favorite during my many visits to SD. Cutest cottage with the perfect location. Walkable to some amazing coffee shops and to the beach! Although the street has a lot of foot traffic, the cottage was very peaceful. It was never noisy and parking was never an issue for myself and guests that visited. Kristine and Clint were very responsive and gave simple instructions for us. This is a great place to relax and unplug! Thank you for an amazing time!

The Avocado Hut- Private Guesthouse, HOT TUB!
Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely neighborhood. ( neighbor cut me one of her roses)Easy to get around. Ocean Beach so close. I would like to recommend that some safety bars placed in the shower. It was slippery Also, microwave was difficult to get at on top of the fridge for us short er folks. But the stay was wonderful. Would recommend it to others!

Crown Point Gem with Salt Water Pool
This place is incredible! The beds are so comfy, the location is ideal to the bay and an area restaurants etc! The outdoor space is lovely. And the pool and hot tub are awesome! We did not want to leave! Aurrora is a wonderful host too. You can’t go wrong with this place!

Dragonfly Cottage - In the Heart of San Diego
Lovely place to stay at. It felt like you were at home. It was very peaceful and clean. It was easy to find and street parking was not hard to find. Would love to come back and try the jacuzzi.

2 BED/1 BA Coastal Haven in SD
A true coastal haven indeed! This place was the perfect weekend getaway! Just a short walk to the beach with tons of great shops and cafes nearby—everything in Ocean Beach is so accessible. Having overnight parking made it easy to explore more of San Diego, from paddle boarding in the bay with super convenient gear rentals to quick trips to SeaWorld and downtown for the nightlife. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing stay with friends. The spa was a highlight—clean, cozy, and perfect for winding down after a full day. Plus, our pup loved the private patio with a pet relief area and had a blast at the nearby dog park and dog beach. Highly recommend for couples, families, or friends looking to enjoy the beach life with all the comforts of home. We’d absolutely come back—and don’t miss grabbing some Hoagies while you’re here!

VILLAS DEL SOL
I recently stayed at this Airbnb and had a fantastic experience. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect, it was quiet and the view was beautiful. It was only less than 10 minutes from any store you could need. The host was very responsive and kind. She recommended places to us and checked in everyday to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend!

The house of the EncinoTKT
My stay was peaceful and relaxing. The place was incredibly clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The attention to detail was evident throughout, making it feel like a home away from home. The hosts were responsive and kind, ensuring everything was perfect.

LOFT: Detached Cottage with Patio
My wife and I enjoyed staying in “The Loft” guesthouse. It was clean, cheerful and located in a quiet neighborhood. The host is friendly and responded quickly to questions. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom is large and well stocked with towels and washcloths. The guesthouse was located close to shopping, restaurants, and major San Diego attractions. The kitchen had everything we needed. We recommend The Loft for your stay in San Diego.

Family and Pet Friendly Beach Bungalow
We had an amazing stay at Russell’s house. He was very prompt in addressing our queries related to the house. The house was clean, cozy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Private Beach Getaway w/ Ocean Views!
Our stay in Bird Rock was amazing. This rental was exactly what we were looking for. Super accessible to everything we needed. Short drive to beaches and restaurants (if you want to go further into La Jolla). Plentiful coffee, pastries, açaí bowls all around. It was great spending mornings on the roof top patio drinking our coffee and planning the day. 10/10 would stay again. Thanks Matt!

Charming coastal cottage Dogs free, 3 blocks ocean
We loved our stay at Atalanta’s place! Very walkable neighborhood with lots to do nearby, the beach only a few blocks down, and very comfortable place to stay after a long day! Very accommodating and our dogs were very comfortable as well!

Ocean Beach ~ Your dream vacation!
We had a great time in Ocean Beach, his place is super close to the beach and all kinds of restaurants and target. it is not loud at all at night time. the guy next door at the cycle shop is nice. I felt safe being there with my kids. I read reviews so brought my own toaster, no big deal. Smelled and felt clean. my kids liked the pull out couch. The only suggestion I would make for the owner is clean up the outside area where we park it's realy dumpy looking. But will definitely stay again.

Dog friendly California Cottage near SDSU
Absolutely loved this cozy little cottage! Had everything we needed and Victor went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Was able to bring our little dog which was a big plus. I would definitely stay here again and it’s very close to the I-8 which is another reason we chose this place. Highly recommend Victor’s Olive Manor!

Canyon Views w/ Outdoor Seating & Parking
Lach was a great host. He was proactive with his communication and left us easy-to-follow instructions for check-in/out. The place is very clean, in a walkable location, and perfect for a short stay.

Truly enjoyed our time at Michael’s cottage. Was very relaxing. Cottage was exactly as described and he was very friendly - met us when we arrived and stated if we needed anything, to just message him. Thank you!!!!

Our friends’ family and ours had a wonderful 3-day stay at this house. It’s very family-friendly, especially the backyard is perfect for both kids and adults to hang out. The location is great, and the house was clean and comfortable. We’d definitely recommend it to others

NEW Private PB Modern Cottage w/ Large Wood Deck
Great location and value! Lots to do nearby with nice cafes and restaurants a block away and the beach a short walk away. Erica and her co-hosts were very responsive. The hair dryer was missing from the bathroom and she brought a replacement over in under 10 minutes. Thanks for the amazing stay!

Point Loma Beachy Cottage
I stay at air bnb’s about every other month and Robert’s place is by far the best! Fridge was stocked with sodas and water, snacks galore on the counter. Robert even delivered pastries, which were amazing, on Sunday. I will certainly try and book this place for my next trip! Thank you Robert you definitely are the super host!

FLS Morningside Cottage
Best of the best! This place is an oasis with wonderful hospitality and attention to detail. The cottages are super well cared for, very clean and well stocked. The garden is an incredible space to relax and unwind in. I felt like I was staying at a spa for my soul. It was really a gift to be able to stay here. Thank you Linda and Santos!

New Whale Cottage Amazing Ocean Views
Very pleasant, peaceful place to stay, and the views from inside and outside (both morning, afternoon and evening) are even better to see with your eyes. Neighborhood is quiet, all amenities are close (gas station, grocery store, coffee spot, and food). Great vacation spot :)

Yellow 2-Bedroom Cottage Steps to The Beach
This is our third year staying here with our grandkids and they ask every year to go back to Yellow House 😊 we love it and cant wait for next year.

La Jolla Beach Cottage Gem
A really cozy and comfortable stay just a short walk from La Jolla's beaches and tons of amenities. The communication was great, and Jassica was very helpful in letting us drop off bags early so that we could start exploring La Jolla before our check in time. We look forward to making it back to La Jolla again as soon as we can, and we would definitely book again!
