Cottage rentals with a hot tub

D27 NCV - Ground level Oceanfront Cottage
We have stayed in this community many MANY times. I will say this.... You can't beat the location! The views and accessability to the beach, pool, parking was phenomenal! The beach toys and extra fans were great! The artwork in the unit was awesome and the owners brought a new table for the patio that was really nice! On the other hand.... this not the most updated condo, not the best equipt kitchen, and not the comfiest beds we have ever had in this community. For the extra money we would likely choose another unit next time.

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!

Romantic Farm Stay with Hottub and View
Beautiful area, amazing house to stay in. Very private and the animals were so fun to see. The air conditioning worked so well, all the appliances, TV and hot water/shower were great. Her instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Was able to reference them when I needed. Driving to the house was harder than I expected…the road became one way and ran into an opposite coming car that made it difficult for us to move around each other. Overall it was a unique experience!! Loved hearing the animals and peacocks!! Would stay again and would recommend!

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!

Country cottage 30 mins from San Diego beaches!
There is so much to do for adults and kids. We Enjoyed the peaceful beauty of the outdoors and sat around the fire pit after getting out of the hot tub. We walked the trails, played with the animals as well as the kids playing on the trampoline, tire swings and zip line. We also learned that there were a few locations on the property and we plan to come back next year with more family. We really enjoyed our stay.

Writers' Cottage - AC,Pets OK, Close to everything
Amazing place to stay. Very safe and nice neighborhood to walk around. Perfect for dogs, fully enclosed and safe to leave outside. We could walk to the beach with the dogs from the air bnb. 5-10 min drive from everything in Oceanside. We will definitely return!

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!

Cozy 1br Cottage in Trendy South Park
This is our second stay at this cottage. And we will definitely stay here again and again. The cottage is very nicely furnished, the kitchen contents are complete and (most importantly) the bed is very comfortable! There is a very nice outdoors area with seating and San Diego weather is almost always perfect to take advantage of that. An added bonus is that our daughter lives close enough to walk! Devon is so easy to reach and very responsive to questions. I highly recommend this property!

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!

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.

Stylish beach cottage
My siblings and I had a wonderful stay at Steve’s cottage! It’s a delightful unit 30 seconds from the beach. We’re four grown adults and fit just fine in the unit — two on the bed, two on the pullout couch. It was clean, Steve was very communicative and let us check in early, and much of San Diego was a short bus ride away. Now if we had just had a little more sunshine! But hey, Steve can’t control that one :)

Temecula Creek Cottages #6
This was the perfect spot for a nice vacation! Will be coming back soon!

Outdoor living at its finest!
We had a great time staying at Terri’s place for a week. It was me, my husband, our 1.5 year old daughter and dog. The space was perfect for our little family and gave us so much flexibility. It is walking distance to a grocery store, casual and fine dining, bodegas, taco shops, bakeries, ice cream shops, you name it. We were able to enjoy our afternoons out and then cook or grab takeout for dinner after bedtime. The patio was a great place for us to hang out during the day and night. Others mentioned the noise of La Jolla Blvd but we didn’t mind it at all! In fact there was great people watching and we still felt like we had privacy enough to sit out in PJs. Thank you so much for letting us stay! I definitely recommend for small families looking to explore La Jolla and Bird Rock.

Kensington Cottage Escape- Sleeps 2!
To me, this place was outstanding. I really like the Kensington neighborhood in San Diego. This particular place was quiet, clean, comfortable, and convenient. It’s easy to get to just about any place you want to go. The hosts were very responsive, even when I asked silly questions like “how to manage the volume on the TV”. You do need to be aware of the stairs to get to the bed (noted in the listing). I actually left my suitcase downstairs and just brought clothes up as needed (not a deal breaker for me). This location is really what I expect from an Airbnb.

By the beach Coastal Craftsman w/king beds, AC
Judy had such a beautiful home. We were pleasantly surprised with the inside decor & vibe of the house. The front door was super cute and had an option to leave the top open. We loved the restrooms as they were super beautiful lol. Judy made sure to have feminine products and extra chargers all over, we felt very accommodated.

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!

Stylish, cozy studio in the heart of Little Italy
A perfect place for a weekend getaway! It truly is in a prime location. Everything is easily walkable. Safe neighborhood. So many phenomenal restaurants to choose from. George was an excellent host. Hotel quality linens. Clean. With plenty of amenities to make it feel like home. We would easily stay here again.

Walk to Beach & Village-AC-King Beds
We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect just a short walk to the beach, which made everything so easy with our toddler. Judy really thought of everything: from bedside chargers with USB ports to extra towels, bedding, and a full set of beach gear. The space was clean, cozy, and incredibly well-stocked. Our toddler especially loved the adjustable play furniture such a thoughtful touch! We’d absolutely stay here again.

726 Steps to the Sand-Upscale Beach Cottage
First and foremost thank you for the hosts for the local suggestions and most importantly the hospitality into their home. Being able to stay in a peaceful and mellow area while being able to be so close to the waves of the ocean was one of the best experiences. Not only is it surrounded by good food but also by amazing experiences that the person has to look for. Overall a 10/10 experience and I would recommend. One of the only exceptions would be the parking situation but it’s understandable for the capacity of the neighborhood surroundings.

Charming Coastal Cottage with AC Blocks from Beach
Great location! Easy to walk around to Mission Bay and Pacific beach area. The cottage has everything you need for two people. Washer/dryer and a parking spot in the driveway was convenient. I recommend this cottage to anyone.

Beachfront Cottage Fully Remodeled
We’ve been coming to Oceanside and Robert’s Cottages for 20 years and cottage #15 is, hands down, the BEST cottage of them all! The bathroom is so spacious! We loved the shower and rain shower option. The full-size kitchen and its amenities are beautiful. And the beds were so comfy! It’s a well-appointed cottage and decorated so cute! We appreciated the access to beach chairs and beach toys. We would love to come back next year!
