Apartment rentals with beach access

1 bedroom apt // BEACH ACCESS // Unit A
What you see is what you get! The place is A+. A perfect place to retreat, enjoy the view, and easily walk along the beach or marina. We intended to be anchored here for two days and relax…and that was realized to the full. We didn’t even leave to eat out because everything we needed to store and prepare our own meals was in place. When check out time came, we didn’t want to leave.

Ocean close apartment UnitB
Location! This rental is walking distance to everything in the heart of Oceanside. Steps to the beach, short walk to all restraunts in downtown Oceanside, .75 miles to the harbor. Rental was plenty big for 2 adults. Highly recommended! Perfect place to stay for a wonderful getaway!

Private 2BD Apt + 1Min to Beach + Parking
Excellent hosts who were proactive in making sure we (4 of us)had everything we needed during our 5 day stay to visit son's family ! Tony brought a welcome tray with variety of snacks & drinks, besides those in the refrig...so very thoughtful & grandaughters enjoyed many of the treats. Located in a very quiet, nice neighborhood within short walking distance to beach, park area and coffee shops. Daughter & 2 granddaughters stayed in bedroom with queen & bunk beds & I stayed in Master. All very comfortable! To note too: Nice remodel, lg bathroom shower with super water pressure- was nice after long day out & about. Everything we needed, super hosts & would highly recommend this location!

Beach In Beach Out
We had a great time at this AirBNB, the host even accommodated our request to stay an extra two days! The location is perfect, beautiful views! Thanks again!

Old School Oceanfront Beach Bungalow
I absolutely loved staying on the boardwalk. I knew what I was getting into - there are people running by the place and occasional noise at all hours but being right on the boardwalk is well worth it. Parking isn’t easy as the listing described but I had zero issue parking on Pacific Beach Drive just a couple blocks away any time I wanted. I look forward to calling Catherine’s spot my little beach getaway again!

Mission Beach 1 BDRM w/ Large Ocean View Deck 714
We had a teriffic stay at Dan's condo...It was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. Dan and Sheryl were awesome to accommodate our needs. Thank you so much for a fantastic time.

Mission Beach Paradise with Sweeping Ocean Views
The location was great. The place was simple but really nice. We loved our stay here and would definitely be back.

Beach Paradise #1 3 Blocks to Beach! WIFI Cable AC
This spot is perfect for a group visiting Pacific Beach. Super close to the beach and all of the awesome restaurants and bars that surround it. This spot was great for hanging out at during down time, and was a great home base for our beach-going weekend. I would stay here again in a heartbeat while visiting PB!

Comfy Cottage Near the Beach
We had to find a place to stay with our 2 little dogs last min, we found this Airbnb and had the best experience! Erik was so friendly and gave us plenty of local recommendations and wanted to make sure we had a great time and were happy and comfortable! Everything was clean and well taken care of, our bed was super comfortable and our doggies felt right at home! We will definitely be staying here again in the future! Thank you Erik for everything!

Swanky Casa Ocean Beach 1 Blk to Beach w A/C
This beach house is well set up for a beach vacation. It is close to the beach and walkable to many restaurants and coffee shops. Please be aware (we were not) that every Wednesday in Ocean Beach there is a market and a huge party on the streets with abundant drinking and pot smoking. That was not our scene and surprising to get stuck in the middle of it. Joshua has well supplied the home with every you need for a beach trip - wagon, chairs, surfboards, boogies boards and more. We appreciated the thoughtfulness of all these items. Also, note that there are no locks on any of the interior doors - neither bedroom or bathroom so privacy is a bit limited in the home. That being said, it fit our family well.

Ocean Views! Beachside 3 BD/2BA Mission Beach Home
Oh my, what a great spot! Moments from the beach - we didn’t even put on our shoes. We loved the coffee shop (The Funky Lemon) right across the street. Easy freeway access to everything. The house is perfect for families and we were grateful for the beach chairs and beach toys provided. And the upper deck was perfect for sunsets. What a great spot! Thank you! PS. We were also impressed with the cleaning. There was no sand anywhere when we arrived. Impressive beach cleaning skillz!

.:The Beach Hive:. Downtown Encinitas
The Bee Hive was so cute. We had so much fun. We love Encinitas. We parked our full-size suv in the designated parking spot and didn’t use it the whole time we were there. We walked to the beach, we walked to get coffee in the mornings, we walked to shops and we even did d 2 different escape roomed on 2 different days. We can’t wait to go back!

Newly Remodeled NOT Shared Beachfront Home W/SPA
This place was HEAVEN!! We fell in love with the place. The place was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. A 15 min walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the view from the couch every morning and the view from the lifeguard chairs in the evening. The Airbnb hosts were helpful and responsive. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

Ocean Views,Rooftop Deck,Fire Pit,Game Room,AC
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beautiful and sparkling clean house, plenty of space and right across the street from Terramar Point, a great surf break. We could see dolphins and seabirds from the large windows of the house. One night we ordered delivery and ate watching the sunset from the rooftop! Anthony and Amanda were so kind and helpful. Lots of great restaurants in Carlsbad. We especially enjoyed dinner one night at Campfire. Incredible food and service. Highly recommend!!

"Seafoam House" just steps to Surf Beach, Downtown
I stayed here for three weeks. It was wonderful. The place was neat and cozy. Walkable to restaurants, stores, museums, and, thrilling to this midwesterner, about a 90 second walk to the beach. Felt totally safe walking around at night. Communication with Rachel was great, and Pete who managed the property responded immediately and was full of helpful suggestions, from where to order pizza to where to get my car fixed. Really enjoyed my stay, and would love to return some day!

*Beach Break* Oceanfront/Balcony/Walk Everywhere
This was everything we thought it would be according to the pictures and write up. Great place for the grandkids to come and visit with us due to the proximity to the beach and the on-site pool and hot tubs. Host was responsive and everything went as expected. Would definitely stay there again.

Walk to the Beach from a Seaside Apartment with a Balcony
All-in-all nice vacation spot. You can always find something to complain (i.e. musty odor mentioned in the previous review is a fact but everybody has a different tolerance level). Bikes are GREAT addition to the experience as you can almost drop using your car unless to stock up in Trader Joe's. Sandra is very welcoming host, instructions are clear and precise.

Ocean front condo heart of pacific beach
Very nice condo with outstanding views of the ocean. The place was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much and the location allowed us to walk to restaurants and clubs, as well as to drive to many attractions across the city very easily within 30 minutes. Having the assigned parking spot was especially nice. We would definitely stay at Maria's condo again.

Short Steps to Beach Quiet 2 Bed 2 Bath Condo
loved Dalma's place, felt at home, clean, everything Thing was well thought of. peaceful environment , great place to visit for a beachside stay. thanks Dalma 😊

#3, Ocean Front Studio by the Beach in Carlsbad
We loved being so close to the beach and so close to Carlsbad Village; once we parked our car we walked everywhere. So nice to have designated parking, too. The place was very nice, queen bed super comfortable. The pullout bed was not as comfortable, but after layering the sofa seat cushions on the 2nd night it was much better. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was fully stocked, bedding and towels were high quality. We would definitely choose this unit again. We found it remarkably quiet despite being so close to everything. The team at Sea Breeze is VERY responsive, but even with that we had a couple of questions that never got answered. That did not impact our enjoyment. We walked to State Street and had an amazing breakfast at Wildland followed by some good boutique shopping, then ice cream at Handels; a great rooftop dinner during happy hour at Fresco, and the rest of the time we stayed right on our deck or on the beach at Sea Breeze. Can’t wait to do it again!

Luxury on the Beach
Easy access. Hoa does a great job with everything. Quick to respond with any questions. I’d stay here again. Awesome experience at this condo.

Oceanview, 2 Balconies, Recently Upgraded Kitchen!
We enjoyed staying at Justin’s place. The communication was great via email. The location was right on the beach and boardwalk. There are several restaurants within walking distance including breakfast places. There’s plenty of nightlife around the area if you’re looking for that. Even though you could hear some of the noise from the nightlife in the front bedroom, it couldn’t be heard from the master and it wasn’t distracting inside the condo. We could hear the sound of the ocean from the master bedroom, which was relaxing. The kitchen was new and clean as well as the bathroom counters. The master shower needs an update and maybe new bedroom carpet, but are still acceptable. The beds were really comfortable. He provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash, dish soap, and paper towels. It was just as described on the listing. It’s not the fanciest place I’ve rented, but it was spacious and very convenient, plus parking was included. We would definitely stay here again.

Oceanfront Elegant Condo - Remarkable Amenities
My family and I are absolutely thrilled about our stay at Andy’s! The view from the unit was stunning, super easy beach access, lots of amenities on site. Many places within walking distance. The provided binder was extremely helpful with information about the property as well as recommendations. The unit itself was beautiful, there were games, the kitchen had everything we needed. The bed in the master was very comfortable. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would absolutely stay again.
