Pet-friendly vacation rentals in San Diego

Wonderful home and lovely amenities/views! We found everything comfortable and totally enjoyable too.

We stayed at Pete's place because it has a gorgeous pool (the pool slide was a huge hit), is close to Del Mar racetrack, and is close to the beach/ocean (you can see the ocean from the front yard). We took our two Bichons and felt safe and secure letting them out. We have family in San Diego and had a small family cook out on Sunday. The grill was awesome, and there are lots of fun things to do on the property, front and back yards. We didn't take advantage of the jacuzzi, but it was already heated up. Since the house doesn't have air conditioning, there were fans in the family room and bedroom. Large kitchen, so you can cook and bake if you don't want to eat out all the time. The house is single story, but outside there are lots of levels where you have to go up and down some single steps,so small children would need help and elderly or disabled folks may need help, too. Pete gave great directions about how to access the main entrance, and the self check-in security code.

We had such a great Spring Break stay at Tamarack Palms with our two young kids and our pup. The yard and heated pool were the stars—our kids were thrilled to have so much space to play, and even though the weather was cool, the heated pool made it easy to enjoy time outside every day. The location was ideal—peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood and just minutes from the beach, Carlsbad Village, and essentials like Von’s. It made daily outings and grocery runs super convenient. Inside, the home was clean, stylish, and well laid out. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms were perfect for our family, and having a washer and dryer made the whole trip easier. The main living space is cozy but functional, and we felt right at home. Our host was fantastic—responsive, friendly, and accommodating. It’s clear a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome. No negatives at all—just a peaceful, well-located family stay. We’d absolutely stay again.

House was clean and comfortable. Check in and check out went smoothly. Communication was great with the owner. Perfectly accommodated our family and location was great. We loved that Better Buzz was within walking distance for a coffee! Grocery store and restaurants also close by. Would highly recommend this rental!

What a lovely home! We spent 5 days here with our family of 5 and it was absolutely wonderful. The home is spacious and open, very clean, and beautifully decorated. We loved the pool and watching airplanes take off and land in the distance. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Would stay here again!

Our family had the best stay at Bruce’s place. It’s a beautifully maintained property and so relaxing yet many activities to do! The kids loved the pool and ping pong tables, the fire pit for s’mores, pool, but especially the “outdoor living room” with a tv to watch movies or listen to music. We can’t wait to return! It’s a great property that is perfect for large groups- from families, bachelors or bachelorette parties, girls get away, etc.

Exactly as advertised and in a great location not far from the beach and boardwalk. The bikes were great for getting around as well. The bed was also very comfortable. Easily accessed and had no issues at all!

This was our second time staying at this home in San Antonio Del Mar w/our pup. Private safe gated community w/beach access. Only 10min drive to downtown Rosarito. Very spacious with an ocean view & jacuzzi. Joel is an excellent host! Definitely recommend & look forward to staying again!

Alexander's place was the perfect California get away for our family vacation! The location was awesome just a short walk from the beach. The backyard was so big for California and great for our dogs. It had a lot of seating and a hot tub which was perfect! Alexander was very responsive throughout our stay. There is a train right behind the Airbnb that used it's horn loudly multiple times a day and until about 11 which was very clearly listed in the listing but if you are sensitive to noise it might bother you. We had no issues with the train.

Love the open space for my two kids to roam around in! Did not get to use the hot tub but it’s a nice touch to have if you plan to spend more time at Airbnb

5/5 stars. Enjoyed my stay here! It was easy to check in, the location was clean and quiet, and I enjoyed the jacuzzi. Also had a garage for you to park your vehicle. It is just a few blocks away from downtown ocean beach. This makes it walking distance from many restaurants and bars. In conclusion, good price, good deal, and I would recommend to anyone who is interested in having a nice time.

Wonderful location, 12-14 minutes or less to everything we wanted to do. Expansive patio and pool area. Bedroom layout worked okay for our group of five - three adults and two kids. Property managers were very responsive when we contacted them. The house was spotless. We were there for two weeks and never ran out of things to do in San Diego and environs. We’ll be back.

Very cool unique spot loved the bathroom shower pebble floor and stone work. I’m a master plumber and appreciate unique bathrooms lol. While place had a castle suite feel to it and there’s a chunky grey/white cat that’s very friendly and likes long slow back strokes

fantastic place that was very conveniently located and had great privacy and romance. Really felt like home. Can't wait to go back. Ricardo was a great host and look forward to staying here again!!

Overall our stay was wonderful! The place was able to accommodate my group comfortably. Sahar is a great communicator and friendly! I would book with them again.

We had an amazing little staycation over the weekend at the Violet Oasis. Extremely clean, the bed was so comfy we never wanted to leave, both parking locations easy to find and Elizabeth and Paola were super responsive. Rather than feel like we were staying at an Airbnb it felt like staying over at a friend’s place. Their passion responding to their guests, making them feel at home and providing information on what to do in the area really shows in this listing. We will be back!

Place was adorable!! I will say some of the drive was scary like we were driving through a cloud so just make sure you don’t drive late at night. I’m sure it was just cause the time of year but still! Overall loved the place and are so happy we got to stay here!!

We fell in absolute love with The Bluebird Cabin! We stayed three nights and did not want to leave. The place itself is so charming and has plenty of room for a family, though it was just my husband and me. Dogs: We also brought our two border collies who aren’t used to having outdoor space and loved getting to sit outside on the porch with us. Cooking & Home: We grilled steak and pork chops outside on the grill and used the full kitchen to make everything else. They have all needed dining sets, utensils, cutting boards, pots, and pans. We had everything provided to do laundry before we left, and there wasn’t anything we needed the house didn’t have. Views & Relaxation: The view of the mountains was perfect every morning and night, and there are several look out spots to drive to. I was there for the quiet and it was the most peace I’ve felt in a long time. We will definitely come back!! I added some books to the shelf for future guests - it’s a beautiful place to read.

Victoria's place is a real gem. It feels like a magical enchanted cottage. The location 2/3 of the way up Palomar mountain is majestic, and the views are to die for. One thing to know is that it can get cold up there in the mountain, even in late April, but it feels very cozy in the cottage because of the wood-burning stove, the blankets, and the board games. My friends and I liked it so much we're already planning when to come back.

My wife and I loved!!! our stay, my wife says it’s the first Airbnb where she got the BEST sleep, her eye bags even went away lol! It was so peaceful and quiet. We are definitely coming back.

Nice and peaceful place. It has everything we need. We cooked good meals, stayed warm, took warm shower. We really enjoyed fire place. Sandrine is very responsive. Thank you for hosting this nice cabin. I recommend this place.

Beautiful A-frame cabin with great views from the top floor! The common spaces (living room, dining area, and kitchen) are much more spacious than they look in the pictures. Kitchen is well stocked with pans and utensils, bedrooms were spotless, and check-in and check-out instructions are clear. The fireplace is tricky to operate (especially if you’ve never built a fire) but the hosts provide a really useful instructional video. In terms of location, it’s an easy drive to the observatory and hiking trails. The one minus is that you can see and hear the neighbors on all sides and, since the property is not fenced, we encountered their off-leash dogs in the front yard a couple of times. The dogs are all friendly but, if you are traveling with your own dogs or children, this is something to keep in mind.

What a magical place! We are already planning our next trip back. Julia was an amazing host and was there to help with any questions within a minutes notice. The cabin is a magical place! I could stay here forever!

It was a great cabin in the woods! I was surprised with the hot shower, since it was so cold outside. The wood burning stove/fire place was easy to use with real wood available on the property. That was one of the best parts of the stay, along with the large outside fenced in area for our Husky to run free and explore. Another bonus was the beautiful birds we not only enjoyed listening to, but were able to actually watch them. Thanks again Jennifer for sharing your place with us!
