Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 — 2 blocks to beach
Melanie's place was everything she said it was in the listing. Beautifully furnished, great location close to beach and State St., and lots of sunlight. We will be back!!

Beach Apartment near Oceanside Pier
The location was great, close to many restaurants and shops, great ocean breeze, great ocean view from the room, beautiful grounds, and 5 minutes from my sons house on Camp Pendleton!

Steps from the SAND private suite on Peninsula
Will was a very responsive host and had great recommendations for the area. Just be aware that since this is an attached space to the next-door neighbors, the sound from upstairs is a bit prominent like footsteps/loud sound. Couple of knick knacks like the shower door and fridge door were to be fixed, but that was acknowledged to be repaired. Otherwise, I would love to stay here again.

TopangaSTRONG, Studio w/ Hot Tub, Creek, Mtn View
Wow, what an incredible two days! This unit truly exceeded my expectations. It had everything I needed and so much more. The beauty of the canyon left me in awe, and there was something magical about savoring breakfast while soaking in that breathtaking morning view. I felt completely at peace, especially since I didn’t come across anyone else during my stay—such a perfect sense of privacy! I can’t express how much I’d love to return and relive this wonderful experience. Thank you Mona and Daniel for everything!

Stunning Private 1 Bdrm Beach Apartment w/AC
David was an amazing host and very attentive to detail. His place was beautiful and very clean. He made sure we had everything we needed and was very communicative. The apartment is right next to the beach and in a quiet Neighborhood. I definitely recommend this place and will be returning soon.

Studio Oceanview King in Beachfront Apt (207)
This is a wonderful stay and I will be back for sure. It was the perfect getaway to rest and relax and enjoy the beautiful beach. The room being so close to the water is spectacular!! I got lost in thought just hearing the waves.

Oceanfront w/ Private Beach
My family and I had a fantastic stay at Tamara’s Airbnb. The property was exactly as described—beautifully decorated touches, and best of all, it included access to a private beach that felt like our own hidden getaway. We had originally planned to stay at the Gaylord Hotel but stumbled upon this listing—and we’re so glad we did. Choosing Tamara’s place turned out to be the best decision. The spacious layout, multiple comfortable beds, and well-appointed bathrooms offered a level of comfort and privacy that far exceeded what a hotel could provide. When we weren’t relaxing on the private beach, we explored the charming local town and rented electric bikes from IB Bikes, which was a perfect way to take in the area’s attractions and restaurants. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, stylish, and well-located retreat!

RENOVATED Bungalow Steps to Beach, Shops & Dining
We enjoyed our stay at Jonathan’s Friendly neighbors and really liked the location.

60th St - 2 Bed Oceanfront w/ patio on the Sand
It was great experience the only challenge was of course parking. I would have liked to be able to use the garage to park my vehicle. I ended up getting a ticket on the street.

Beach House 2 King Suites+Sleeper, Steps to Sand
Loved the location on the peninsula. We were able to walk to the beach, to restaurants and really enjoyed being able to use the rooftop deck. Beds were super comfortable and the place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very helpful also to have the garage for our car and e-bikes since parking is such a challenge in that area. Appreciated our host being available for any questions on arrival and throughout our stay. Hope to visit again!

Beachfront Home in Gated Community | 3BR + Den
Beautiful stay in Rosarito! My children and I loved everything about this home—the stunning ocean views, the cozy and comfortable space, and the sense of peace and security. The area felt very safe with 24/7 security, which gave me peace of mind throughout our stay. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and even more lovely in person. Amy was a wonderful host—kind, responsive, and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this place and would definitely come back again!

Back Bay Getaway - Dog Friendly - Home in Los Osos
Came here to stay for Cal Poly graduation. Emma's place is a great! Comfortable, convenient, spacious and quiet. Loved being away from the crowds and close to Montaña de Oro State Park - we walked the Bluff trail. Loved the thoughtful welcome - wine, handwritten notes and gift card for coffee to Nautical Bean. My teens loved the spa bathrobes. We would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you, Emma!

Ocean Views,Rooftop Deck,Fire Pit,Game Room,AC
Anthony was very prompt in responding to any questions we had. He accommodated our specific needs and was helpful with last minute inquiries. Perfect location with spacious, but welcoming environment. Home was stocked with all basic needs so you didn’t immediately need to run out to buy necessities. We also appreciated the art work and decor that isn’t normally in a rental. Loved the fireplace, fire pit, and outdoor entertainment garage. I enjoyed the rooftop desk the most, while the family spread out to the other areas. Wonderful family home with all sad to leave.

BOHO Sunset Beach Oasis | H.B.
Derek’s beach house was so beautiful and such a relaxing environment. It felt like my family had our own private beach. And he was a very polite and professional down to earth host. The house was very clean and comfortable I wish I could leave a 10 star rating!!! Thank you again Derek for a wonderful experience for me and my family. The beachfront view is worth every penny!!!

Oceanfront Oasis
Great place. All the photos and descriptions were accurate. We celebrated our daughter’s birthday and we had a good time having it there.

Stunning Beach House! 2 Tubs & Outdoor Shower New!
We loved how close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants, and coffee shops. We also enjoyed bringing our dog who loved the outdoor patio we would definitely stay again. Cute place and very clean.

Upscale condo with Rooftop Deck & Ocean View!
Great place! super close to the beach. They even leave fun stuff like a closet full of things you need for the beach. We would stay again.

LUXURY ocean front/view PRIVATE SANDY BEACH condo
Letuanny and this property were excellent. She is an exceptional host - very responsive and helpful. The apartment itself is very comfortable and elegant. The view is astounding, as are the amenities such as the pool, right alongside the beach. The only downsides are that you can't use the gym unless you are staying more than 6 months (this is the association rule, not the host's), and the surrounding neighborhood is a bit limited as to dining options. That said, I would definitely stay here again and commend Letuanny on being an excellent host.

Gorgeous Catalina Villa in Hamilton Cove
This trip was awesome! The home at Hamilton Cove was perfect and the view is amazing!! My family and I cannot say enough good things about this place. We are already planning our next trip. Thank you so much!!

Luxury on the Beach
Such a great place to stay. Restaurants, beach, pier all within walking distance. Within the complex pools, gym, and game room. My kids especially loved feeding the koi fish in the pond. The condo was centrally located in the complex between the game room and the pool. Sitting on the balcony you can hear the waterfall and get a peek at the ocean through the trees. Will definitely stay again!

Couples Retreat Beachside Studio, King Bed
The beach was literally within steps! We were looking forward to having a relaxing trip - which we did. I loved that beach chairs and coolers were provided had we needed them. Assigned parking made me feel safe.

Ocean Views, Rooftop Deck & 1 Block to Everything!
This is our family second time coming to Oceanside. The home is clean close to the beach and restaurants. Cassandra does a great job communicating and getting back to you. We’ve never had any issues or any concerns. We’ll definitely be back for a third time. We absolutely love staying here.

Spatious 2 bedroom apt, 1 block from beach
Cute and clean home! Walkable location to restaurants and the beach area. Thank you

Oceanfront Elegant Condo - Remarkable Amenities
We enjoyed our stay at Andy’s place. It was plenty of space for 3 of us to stay. Great views. It gets a little warm at night in the bedroom without air conditioning but they do provide an extra fan which helps. Overall, the space was great and we would recommend to others.
