Steps from the SAND private suite on Peninsula

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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

NataliaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Oceanfront w/ Private Beach

AnthonyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

NancyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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

Cindy And SteveRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 day ago
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!

MadelineRating, 5 stars6 days ago
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

Teresahastings17@Bellsouth.NetRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

EliseoRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!!!

LUXURY ocean front/view PRIVATE SANDY BEACH condo

AriRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

Luxury on the Beach

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

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.

Oceanfront Elegant Condo - Remarkable Amenities

TiffanyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
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.
