Nothing Beats Ocean Front

ShalinRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We had great time staying right in front of the beach. Enjoying sunsets and sunrise everyday was bonus. Kids get to play in sand and come back to rest anytime. The home has almost everything you would need for short stay. Thank you for hosting us.

Mission Beach 1 BDRM w/ Large Ocean View Deck 714

WendyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My daughter and I had a great time! Your place is in an awesome location, esp being so close to beach/ocean! Loved that! Dan was very flexible/nice about Check in time and Check out time, which was very helpful!! The bed was soft/comfy. The only negative thing I could say was the “walking around noise” at times, being on lower level of an occupied upper level, especially noticeable in the early morning! We did have a noise machine that we brought, so that helped! (I did read about the foot traffic, once or twice, in other reviews, but overall, definitely still a very recommendable place!).

Studio Oceanview King in Beachfront Apt (207)

JordanRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Outstanding place in a terrific location and a great, communicative, and lovely host. It's right on the water, so you can hear the soothing sounds of the waves crashing. The bed and home is extremely comfortable. There's tons of terrific things to do. The host is very responsive, clear, and kind.

Bayfront Beauty: 3BR Mission Bay Retreat

KristinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I stayed here with my family and 1 other family. We really enjoyed our stay! Loved the spacious, open layout of the kitchen, living room, and dining room. We loved the jacuzzi, and the location was amazing! Right on the Mission Bay walking path (I’ve always wanted to know who stays in the homes along the bay, and now I got to be one of them!) and one block away from Mission Beach. Also down the street from one of my fav restaurants in SD, Mission Bay Cafe. We went to Old Town, spent the day at Belmont Park and Mission Beach, and another day at Legoland… it was really the perfect location. Mark is a great communicator and made sure everything went smoothly for us. We’d love to stay again. Thank you.

San Diego Beachfront House 60s to sand, surf, pier

JeremyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Mike was awesome. My family and I are from near Pasadena CA. Mike was awesome in making us feel welcomed in lieu of the unfortunate fires in LA county. His house was beautiful. The view of the ocean was exactly what we wanted. As a plus, the spot was near a brewery (walking distance) where they had amazing coffee and food. We were also about 20 mins from downtown, and a short drive to nearby stores like Costco and Target. Thanks Mike for everything!

3 Levels Of Bay Views! With NEW Updated Baths!

JudyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our second stay at this delightful home. It has the ideal location, just across the walkway from the bay side beach. And a quick walk across the street to the ocean side. The kids played for hours in the sand, we rented bikes and rode all around Mission Bay, and enjoyed sitting out on our porch and watching the world go by. The house is well stocked with what we needed. With three stories there’s plenty of room to spread out, have some privacy if needed, or hang out on the main floor with a great big dining table and comfortable living room.

Ocean front condo heart of pacific beach

PeterRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

#3, Ocean Front Studio by the Beach in Carlsbad

VickieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Oceanview, 2 Balconies, Recently Upgraded Kitchen!

DeNaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

E107- Ocean & Harbor Views, North Coast Village

VanessaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Tiffany responded so fast to ask my messages. I am so grateful we found this place! We were able to walk to the Harbor park everyday and enjoy the sunset out our window. The pool was very clean and the hot tubs are actually hot! The most impressive part was how beautifully kept the grounds were and the area was maintained professionally. Everybody who worked there was very respectful and kind. I really like visiting here.

Luxurious and Spacious Condo steps from the Beach

StevenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Abraham was a great host. Excellent communication. The place was wonderful and just steps to the beach. We would definitely stay there again. We were told the place came with multiple boogie boards, there was only one there when we arrived. I messaged Abraham to let him know and within a couple hours he had delivered 2 more boogie boards for us. Very proactive and excellent! The resort area pools/hot tubs and other amenities were very nice also.
