What We Love
San Diego
We like San Diego for its layers. The coast at Oceanside still feels like a working pier town, the wooden boardwalk and the wood-fired kitchens of South O drawing the early walkers before the surf school crowd arrives. A short drive east lifts you into Vista, citrus groves, hillside calm, and a slower hour as soon as you turn off the freeway. Mid-county, downtown carries a different register entirely: museums, marinas, the Spanish past you can still walk through. The homes we look after sit across that range. Some open onto sand. Others sit back, canyon-quiet, with everything still close. We are grateful to every owner who has chosen Everyday Luxury to look after theirs.
14 Homes Available

- 1 Oceanside Pier

- 3 La Jolla Cove
- 4 San Diego Intl. (SAN)
Our San Diego homes are spread across three communities: Oceanside on the North County coast, Vista a short drive inland, and the city of San Diego itself. San Diego International (SAN) sits about ten minutes from a downtown stay and roughly forty minutes from Oceanside. La Jolla Cove and the Torrey Pines coast are a half-hour drive between the two ends and serve as the natural midway anchor for most trips.

Local Treasures
Things our guests love to do
Six moments worth structuring a day around. Scroll across. The county runs long and the day inside it can run longer.
Sunrise
The Oceanside Pier walk
The pier is the longest wooden pier on the West Coast and the early walkers are mostly local. Park near South O, walk out to the end, watch the surf school set up below you, and turn back for breakfast at one of the kitchens that opens before seven.
Mid-morning
Torrey Pines, the high-trail loop
A reserve perched on coastal bluffs midway between Oceanside and the city. The Razor Point and Beach Trail loop runs about a mile and a half with the Pacific opening below you the whole way down. Go early; the lot fills before ten on weekends.
Late afternoon
La Jolla Cove and the sea lions
The cove holds a colony of California sea lions year-round and the smell carries; the locals consider it part of the deal. Watch from the bluff above the cove, then walk south to the Children's Pool and back as the light starts to go.
Seasonal
Del Mar in summer, the Flower Fields in spring
The Del Mar Racetrack runs from late July to early September; opening day is a full Hat Day affair. In March through early May, the Carlsbad Flower Fields fifteen minutes north turn fifty acres of ranunculus into striped colour. Two windows, two very different versions of a North County afternoon.
Saturday morning
Vista Farmers Market
Vista holds a Saturday morning market that has been running for decades. Citrus from the inland groves, avocados from the hillsides above town, and the kind of tomato that disappears by ten. Bring cash; bring an empty bag.
Sunset
Sunset Cliffs, Point Loma
Sandstone bluffs facing west, a thin trail that runs along the edge, and an unbroken horizon when the marine layer holds off. Locals time it to the minute. Stay for the after-light; the ocean turns terra-cotta for about eight minutes once the sun is down.

Location is spectacular, space is incredible
I have stayed in this area every year for 9 years and this is our new favorite! Location is spectacular, space is incredible for this part of the beach. Water pressure and temp was amazing. Excellent rental!

Extremely responsive
This place is perfectly located one block from the roller coaster and right on the beach! Great views, great balcony, spacious. The rental company was extremely responsive. Beware, if you have an SUV, getting in and out of the garage will take a little bit of finesse. We had a great time, and will definitely stay here again.

Host was very helpful and responsive
LOCATION of this property is everything. We had our 3 kids with us and to be able to watch them play in the sand from the condo was a blessing. This rental is close to Belmont park, lots of food options and so much more. If you have kids who will be at the beach or Belmont park, I highly recommend this spot! Kitchen is big and had more than expected. The BBQ wouldn't light for us so we contacted the host and they had it fixed the next day! Host was very helpful and responsive. I would stay here again!

It was comfortable and quite
The place was mostly clean, tages from clothing was left on the window seal of one of the up stairs bedroom and a few dishes were put away dirty. One of the living room chairs is stained. A slat of the window blinds in the master bed room was broken and the shade valance in the living room was sagging. I guess my expections were extremely high do to all the rules and fines if not followed. I knew it was quite hours from 9 to 9 but did not know that you are not allowed to use the hot tub after 9pm, which is one of the rules posted at the house. We rented this place for the hot tub so we could relax at the end of the day but only made it back one night in time to enjoy it. The house is very nice size and location for our family to gather, play games and tour the area. Overall, it was comfortable and quite. Felt very safe there. I would recommend it as along as you are good with not using the backyard/pool/spa between 9pm to 9am

The place felt warming, relaxing, and a perfect place to unwind
This place is a hidden gem in Vista. The backyard feels like a tropical paradise, and the house is laid out perfectly. It was easy to get amazing food delivered, and quick to go visit North County.
The place felt warming, relaxing, and a perfect place to unwind. The host were incredibly responsive and very gracious.
This is a fantastic spot for getaways with friends or families.
We hope to return here in the future

Place is absolutely amazing
This house was worth every penny. The backyard was absolutely amazing. The host was very descriptive with all their instructions and very responsive when we had questions. It was a great experience. I would reserve again.

Beautiful property. Had a fun memorable stay
A beautiful property with everything we needed. We traveled with my whole family and we all had our own space including the children. The pool and spa is really the focal point of the property and made for a fun memorable stay. The hosts were responsive and helpful and so accommodating. I would definitely stay here again if traveling with the same number of people.

Kids had a blast in the pool
Great location, lots of rules but nothing hard to not be able to follow. Some wear and tear of outdoor furniture but nothing out of the ordinary for any home. Overall, kids had a blast in the pool and we all enjoyed our stay.

Master bedroom was huge and bed was comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay. The location was the primary reason for this booking and we were not disappointed. Steps from the beach, great restaurants, and lots to do. Private garage was ideal for parking and they have water toys for the kids inside saving us the trouble of buying or brining our own. Bathrooms were spacious and clean. Master bedroom was huge and bed was comfortable.
The bedroom with the trundle beds was semi good - the trundle beds have older mattresses on them and you can feel the boards underneath, which I addressed with the owner and they were unaware and said it would be rectified in the future. Washer and dryer was broken during our stay and owner was prompt in his response and apologized for the issue. Other than those tiny bumps we would rent again if fixed in the future.

You definitely can't beat the location
You definitely can't beat the location. The beach is more or less than your backyard! That alone makes it worth the money spent for the unit. However, the building is very worn down, few of the windows were broken and unable to open, the washer and dryer was broken (we had to clean our clothes by hand and lay them outside to dry), and the furniture is very outdated. Two of the twin size beds that are tucked under the second room beds honestly should not be counted as beds. They are paper thin and you can feel the boards underneath. Completely unsleepable! We had to end up buying an air mattress for our kids to sleep on. In the end, I gave three stars because of the location and the unit was livable. But there was a lot of issues during our stay.
Before You Book
San Diego FAQs
A few things guests ask us most often before they choose their stay.
What is the best time of year to visit San Diego?
San Diego is one of the few destinations that genuinely works year-round. Winter is mild and quiet. Spring brings the Carlsbad ranunculus fields. Summer carries the longest beach days and Comic-Con and Del Mar racing. Fall is the locals' favorite for its warmest sea temperatures and lighter crowds. The one thing to know: late spring and early summer mornings can begin under a low fog ("May Gray" and "June Gloom") that usually burns off by lunch.
How close are the homes to the beach?
It depends on the home. Some of our Oceanside properties are walking distance to the pier and the South O sand. Our San Diego homes are typically within a short drive of one of the bay or coastal beaches. Vista sits inland, about fifteen minutes from the nearest beach in Oceanside or Carlsbad. We can match the right home to your beach preferences when we help you choose.
How is parking near the beaches?
Honest answer: it gets tight in summer, especially on weekends. Oceanside and Mission Beach lots fill before ten on a Saturday. La Jolla Cove parking is street-only and competitive. The trick is to arrive early, or to use the homes that put you within walking distance and skip the lot entirely. We can flag the walkable homes when you ask.
Is San Diego a good place for surfing?
It is one of the great surf coasts of the country. Oceanside, Cardiff, and Pacific Beach are reliable for beginners. Black's Beach and Sunset Cliffs run powerful and are best left to experienced surfers. Local surf schools rent boards and run lessons by the hour at most North County beaches. We can point you to the right break for your level.
Do families and groups do well here?
Very. The county offers an unusually wide span of family things, the San Diego Zoo, the Safari Park, Balboa Park's museums, the beaches, the boardwalks, alongside an equally strong slate for adults: tasting rooms in Vista, fine dining in Little Italy, and quiet coastal evenings. Our homes range from three-bedroom couples' retreats to larger group homes that work for multi-generation trips.
Are pets welcome at your San Diego homes?
Several of our San Diego homes welcome pets, with a small additional cleaning fee. We can filter to pet-friendly homes when we help you choose, and Oceanside and Vista both offer easy off-leash and on-leash walking, including the Dog Beach at the south end of Ocean Beach in the city if you want a true off-leash run for your dog.
What is included with the stay?
Every stay comes with fresh linens, fully stocked kitchens, complimentary Wi-Fi, and the same direct line to our team you would get from a hotel concierge. Pool heating (where the home has a pool) is generally an optional add-on with a stated daily fee; we will always confirm the exact cost before you book.
How crowded does it get in summer?
Comic-Con weekend (mid-July) and the opening week of Del Mar racing (late July) are the two most concentrated weeks of the year, especially in the city and along the North County coast. Beach lots fill earlier; restaurants need reservations a week ahead. If you want the warm weather without the volume, late September and early October hit the same temperatures with much smaller crowds.
Where are the best restaurants in San Diego?
For a city night, Little Italy is the densest cluster: Herb & Wood, Born & Raised, and Juniper & Ivy are reliably excellent. In Oceanside, Wrench & Rodent Seabasstropub punches above the town's reputation, and 333 Pacific holds the harbor view. In Encinitas, Swami's Cafe is the surfer's breakfast classic. Tell us what kind of evening you want and we will narrow it down.
How walkable are the homes?
It varies by city. Oceanside near the pier is walkable to coffee, dinner, and the sand. Downtown San Diego homes are walkable to Little Italy and the marina. Vista is more car-dependent; the trade is the canyon quiet and the citrus-grove views. We can match your walkability preference to the right home.
What is your cancellation policy?
Plans change, and a thoughtful cancellation policy is part of how we look after every guest. Terms vary by home and by season, so the policy that applies to your stay is shown in full on the reservation page when you begin a booking for any Everyday Luxury Curated listing. You can also read it in advance on our cancellation policy page (opens in a new tab). If your dates need to move, reach out early and we will do everything we can to reschedule or re-accommodate.
How do new owners join the Everyday Luxury portfolio?
We are honoured by every home we steward, and grateful to the owners who continue to choose us. If you own a property in Oceanside, Vista, or anywhere across San Diego County and want to learn more about how we look after homes, our team would love to hear from you. Read more on our property management page.
Send Me the Notes
The Insider's Guide to San Diego
Most San Diego trips spend their first morning on the wrong beach. The notes we send when you ask cover the right ones, the surf breaks worth the rental, where the sea lions actually rest, the locals' coffee in North Park, the Saturday market in Vista, and the restaurants in Little Italy that need a reservation a week ahead. We send it as soon as you ask.
