Yes, they are not cheap, but they are definitely worth it and if you are traveling with a large group or family, it can even be more economical than multiple rooms at a beachfront resort. This is the perfect way to treat yourself to a beach getaway in San Diego that you will never forget.

Here is a list of some of the most luxurious and stunning San Diego beach houses for you that have it all – direct beach access, stunning views, and so close to the water, that you can hear the waves crashing at night.

Search for San Diego Beach House Rentals by Location

You can find beachfront villas in San Diego from Encinitas to Mission Beach and even further south. Each beach town has a unique feel and atmosphere that makes your stay unique.

Encinitas Beach Rentals

Great choice if you like a small, upscale beach town with great access to shopping, beaches, and more up in North County. This is a great location if you want to explore San Diego and Los Angeles, without the hustle and bustle of the big cities.

Here is our favorite beach house in Encinitas: Cliffside Cottage

This 3 bedroom 2 bath house offers spectacular views of the ocean and all the amenities you could wish for. The classy beach cottage decor will put you in vacation mode instantly and the patio is perfect for the SoCal outdoor lifestyle. This vacation rental offers two bedrooms in the main house and 1 studio in a separate casita, which makes this perfect for groups or extended families traveling together.

Review by Anette T. September 2020:

“My husband and I live just an hour away and needed a vacation at the beach. This house was PERFECT for us. A beautiful view, clean kitchen and bathrooms (VERY important to me), and a great location. The main bedroom opens to the ocean and the bed is a comfy place to sleep in to the sound of the waves. The yard is well-kept and feels like its own little paradise with a fountain and potted plants all around. The pictures on the site look exactly like the house. The only reason I gave 4 stars on accuracy is because there was no gas grill and there is no working patio umbrella. So, be prepared to use a beach umbrella to enjoy mid-afternoon time on the deck. The location is ideal – just 3 blocks to downtown. I will add that Encinitas is following all the safety guidelines very well. 95% of people were masked, even out on dog walks, stores enforcing guidelines, and the restaurants are seating outdoors at safe distances. All around a great experience!”

Review by Amber W. March 2021:

“Our family had a great stay! The location is perfect and the place had all the amenities needed. Hosts were responsive when we had questions and were accommodating. Their beach chairs were being used by another unit it appears and they offered to have us buy new chairs and they would reimburse us. Very nice! We will be back again. The location is hard to beat and the hosts were extremely nice.”

Review by Chris D. January 2021:

“We stayed for 4 weeks and had a great experience. I used the 2nd bedroom as an office so I could work while we were there. We rode bikes, hiked, enjoyed the beach, and generally had an amazing time. The house is located close to the beach, restaurants, and parks. The fast internet made working from the house easy. Joanne was great whenever we had a question. We’d recommend this home to anyone coming to Mission Beach!”
