House holiday rentals in Old Town, San Diego

I am a San Diego local, but my family was coming to town and we needed more space. I picked this place because I knew my sister and brother-in-law would love being able to walk to all the restaurants and brewery nearby and my 6 year old nephew would get a lot of use out of the pool. The place exceeded my expectations, it was perfect for everyone. We spent a lot of time in the backyard swimming or playing board games, and my Mom got a lot of use out of the hot tub. Communication with the host was excellent and the place was comfortable and clean. The only downside is my family might visit too often now!

Our host John provides a beautifully decorated home in a quiet, central neighborhood. The setup is exceptional, with both a heated pool and hot tub, and the experience felt like staying in a boutique hotel. He thoughtfully includes amenities like toothbrushes, makeup remover wipes, cotton pads, and more — the attention to detail really impressed us. We absolutely loved our time in La Jolla, and John’s local tips were spot-on. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend booking with him.

Great place to stay! Very clean and great pool for the family! Close to SeaWorld and Malls! Definately would stay here again and Brian was a great host and very responsive when we needed him.

Stay at Katri’s was great. Had delicious cookies waiting for us when we checked in, which was a breeze. House was spacious and entire lot was very big. Pool was great and even after we had told them that no heated pool would be necessary, Mother Nature had a different idea and gave us some more than unexpected chilly weather, so they had no problem throwing the heater on for us. Freeway in the background was hardly a noise problem for us personally. Just far enough that it didn’t affect us, and was nice to see what our morning commute was going to be like. Brought two dogs with the group that absolutely loved everything (after one of them finally got over his fear of the staircase). All in all a great stay in a great neighborhood. Cant comment more how quickly they responded to us in the days leading up to the trip, and while we were there. Great hosts!

We loved our stay at Mari Katherine’s Airbnb for a girl’s weekend in SD! It is a beautiful home that was spacious and thoughtfully designed and decorated to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The home feels private, but was in a fantastic location in North Park that was easily walkable to coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Mari Katherine sent clear instructions leading up to our stay, so the logistics of check in were clear and easy! When some logistical challenges came up during our stay, Mari Katherine was very responsive (even late in the evening) and offered solutions - we would be thrilled to visit again!

The location is a ten minute walk to the beach. There’s a sprouts three minutes away and numerous bars, restaurants, and shops. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Great location with a very great host. Very kind people. I would definitely stay again.

We have stayed in many different types of homes both good and bad. But, I’ve gotta say “This one has been BY FAR, THE BEST”!! The view as well as the house is absolutely amazing. The design of the home is gorgeous. The house was extremely clean and the beds were very comfortable. I must mention the squatty potties and bidet’s in the bathrooms… SUPERB!! Before booking my reservation, I asked Van if I could have my family and friends (about 10 people) come over after a graduation ceremony and he said yes. He even accommodated us with extra tables and chairs. My friends and family all loved the place. Van always replied to my messages no matter the time of day or night. There was a hiccup with the fire alarms in the house which was completely out of Van’s control, but he handled it well. He personally appeared to resolve the issue. Meeting Van in person did not disappoint. He is as nice in person as he is in messages. We are definitely going to come back.

If you have a family with children this is the PERFECT place! Not only are there plenty of toys and board games to keep the kids entertained, there is also a pool and jacuzzi. This rental even had toothbrushes and toothpaste along with sunscreen and aloe in case you forgot.

My family and I were very excited because we were traveling to SD to meet my biological father for the first time since finding him almost 3 years ago. We chose Shawn's BnB because we instantly fell in love with the shaded and secluded backyard. We enjoyed our stay and it served as a great place to chill out, relax, and get to know my dad while playing a few card/board games. The cheery on top was the fabulous weekend weather, which was 40+ degrees cooler than our home in Phoenix, AZ.

Overall, we had a good stay here. The place matched the description, and it was in a central location with easy access to highways. We were able to reach most parts of San Diego quickly. Mary Grace was responsive and friendly.

We had a great time. The place was very nice and comfortable. We would like to stay there again!

My stay here was exactly how I wanted it to be. The home was very clean and had a lot of necessities like cookware, silverware, shower products, and so much more! Everything was super neat and organized. The bed was extremely comfy. The host was very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed, also made sure all our questions were answered. I am looking forward to staying here again when I return to San Diego. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is thinking about staying here. You definitely get your moneys worth.

Dominic was a great host. The space came with everything we needed and then some. Free snacks was a great plus. Also the AC unit was an unexpected plus.

Bill’s place was hands down one of the cleanest Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in. From the moment we walked in, everything felt spotless and well taken care of. The neighborhood was peaceful and felt much safer than other comparable listings we looked at in downtown San Diego. It was also incredibly convenient—just a 10-minute drive to all the major tourist attractions, and surrounded by great restaurants located along Adams avenue. Most importantly, I felt completely comfortable and safe being there with my wife and kids, which made the trip all the more relaxing. We spent hours playing in the front yard. Highly recommend Bill’s place for anyone visiting San Diego looking for comfort, cleanliness, and peace of mind!

I had a wonderful stay at Jessica’s place! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Check-in was easy, and Jessica was responsive and friendly throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area and would love to stay here again. Thank you!

I had a wonderful stay at Ricardo’s Airbnb in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego. The place was quiet, peaceful, and in walking distance of many great restaurants, shops, and attractions. Ricardo was very responsive and made the stay seamless. This is a must-stay spot if you’re visiting San Diego—highly recommended!

Our family enjoyed our stay in this adorable home. It had everything we needed for a weekend stay and was very comfortable, clean, nicely decorated and centrally located. Lindsay was super responsive and the home had great bonus areas such as the rooftop. Thank you!!

Conveniently located . Easy to find . Well maintained front and backyard . Quiet, peaceful and safe area . Host very responsive and allowed us to stay a bit longer to give us time to clean up and leave the place as orderly as we found it .

Negar was such a great host!! Was always quick to respond and very helpful. The room was so cozy and clean. The back yard makes you feel like ur in a secret garden. Had a pleasant time.

Doris and her son were prompt in addressing and resolving an issue immediately above and beyond our expectations

Our stay in Old Town San Diego was amazing. The location of the home is perfect for walking around and easy access to the trolly for getting downtown. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Joseph was a great host. I was surprised to have snacks and coffee stocked. We were also greeted with a bottle of wine for us - which was so nice. The home was in a nice location, it was clean, but it’s not very walkable. We ended up renting a car - which made everything closer to get to. Overall, good home, had everything we’d need for a week’s stay.

The space is amazing. So centralized. Everytime I’m in SD I stay here I love it. It’s 10-15 minutes away from everything. So quiet and peaceful with a beautiful neighborhood the entire area is stunning . The rental is full and free with a true beach type of feeling. If you’re lucky enough to book here you will not regret it.

Gorgeous Airbnb on an almost private beach. Location is great for those who know the area. Only one bedroom and patio space is shared with other unit. But the view and serene environment made up for it :)
