Recent San Diego guest reviews

We loved the sound of waves crashing the moment you walk through the gate up to the door. The view was mesmerizing. The space upon entering was just like pictured. Location was perfect for walking to nearby shops and restaurants with our two girl toddlers pulling them in their wagon. We loved the environment, the succulents, cacti, lime trees, floral in the yards and sheer beauty the Ocean Beach area offers. Accessing the garage was easy (although very tight and tedious to park in, but we managed with my husbands skills as long as we got out every time before he parked it), and receiving and entering the codes for the door to the home gave us no trouble. Wi-fi worked great, easily able to get into our Netflix and Disney accounts for the girls. Disneyland about an hour and a half drive. San Diego zoo only 15 minutes. Loved watching the surfers at low tide and we saw dolphins! My husband even tried surfing down by Ocean Beach pier, renting a surf board and wetsuit from The Shed. Newbreak Coffee and Cafe right next door to that was amazing food and coffee also. Definitely recommend this rental, would stay again :)

Our second time staying and we absolutely love it. This fabulous home is well furnished and decorated. All the amenities that we needed were on hand. Great support for minor issues that arise in any home unexpectedly. We will be back for an exciting, yet relaxing stay.

This was our first time in California, so we were nervous about booking, but everything was great. The room was perfect for just us two. There was so many things in walking distance. I would book this place again in a heartbeat.

Explore our San Diego, CA vacation rentals

Break out from the humdrum with a trip to sunny California. San Diego vacation rentals offer a convenient home base while you explore nearby city attractions, stunning beaches, and dive into the food scene. Welcome to California, there’s something here for everyone.

Where is San Diego, CA?

Just 13 miles from the seaside beach community of La Jolla, our San Diego beach house vacation rentals offer access to a cosmopolitan, vibrant city environment, but with exciting outdoor attractions like hiking, biking, fishing, and of course surfing, right nearby.

Outdoor activities in San Diego

There are 27 miles of car-free, winding, paved bike paths that loop around the activity-rich area of Mission Bay (great for families) and the Bayshore Bikeway includes 25 miles of scenic bike lanes along San Diego Bay. Whatever your skill level, you can find an adventure on two wheels —and a few photo ops on the way.

When you leave your vacation rental in the morning, you can explore the canyons, mountains, and deserts on two feet. Hiking trails are plentiful and well-groomed, whether you take off for an easy Sunset Cliffs beach walk or a three-mile vertical climb up Cowles Mountain. If you're looking to catch a wave, San Diego boasts big swells and waves, guaranteed to have you hanging ten before you know it.

Things to do in San Diego

Mission Bay boasts one of the largest aquatic parks in the world, so bring your water skis, kayaks, and fishing pole. With over 90 museums in San Diego County alone, this is a haven for arts and culture enthusiasts. Spend an afternoon walking around Balboa Park (home to the San Diego Museum of Art, Model Railroad Museum, and more), Old Town San Diego, and if you have kids, be sure to stop by the New Children's Museum downtown or the world-famous San Diego Zoo

With an impossibly tasty food scene, it’s only a matter of where to start in San Diego. Stop by a corner taco stall on your way to the beach, dig into fresh seafood by the water, or head to Hodad’s Downtown for a locally-loved giant burger. Don’t forget to cool down with ice cream while window shopping on the boardwalk.

At 120 miles south of Los Angeles, San Diego offers a gentle Mediterranean climate with plenty of sun and cool ocean breezes. The city boasts 70 miles of gorgeous beachy coastline, making it the perfect location for a memorable California getaway for the whole family, a romantic weekend, or even a surfing trip with friends.
