A home for California swell chasers to search out, this home will have you in the water in no time, with the sands of San Clemente a five-minute drive from your front door and some of SoCal's best beach breaks within an hour's drive.

However, that's not to say that if you're not a surf pro, you won't find something for you here. Your host provides some boogie boards for the kids and beach chairs for a slightly more sedate experience down at the beach. But a stay here isn't just about the coastline, with hiking trails, pristine golf courses, and shopping are all a stone's throw away. 

The vibrant home itself shouldn’t go without a mention – its shared roof terrace makes for a wonderful spot to watch the sunset over the sea. Indoors, the coastal inspiration is clear. Shades of blue give the bedrooms a sense of the sea, while a mix of wooden tables and shoreside inspired ornaments continues the theme in the living areas.

If you’re in search of a blissful beachside escape, this apartment delivers a refreshing solution. Nestled on the picturesque cliffs of Solana Beach, you’ll have direct access to the shoreline as well as a community swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. There are two private patios for drinks and alfresco dining, while the living room provides a cosy spot to switch off and unwind. Remote workers will appreciate the desks in the bedrooms, while everyone can enjoy exploring this fantastic location. From here, it’s a short walk to Fletcher cove, while the restaurants, cafes and shops of Cedros Avenue are just a five-minute stroll away. 

California Coastal Retreat

Treat yourself to a romantic getaway and escape from everyday life at this beautiful home, ideally located a two-minute drive away from downtown San Clemente. Enjoy your morning coffee on the private roof deck while you admire the outstanding ocean views. Whip up a delicious breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen, or visit the exquisite restaurants on nearby Del Mar Street. Stroll across the street to soak up the sun at San Clemente State Beach, or visit the popular surf spots at San Mateo Point to catch waves instead of rays. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy the nearby Pruneridge or Sunken Gardens courses. Many sought-after destinations such as San Deigo and Anaheim are easily accessible with a journey on Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner route, while the San Clemente Summer Weekend Trolley will take you on a round trip from the pier to the outlets.

With ocean views from almost every room, this La Jolla home is something really special. The sound of the ocean sets the scene, rocking you to sleep each night and soothing you throughout your stay. 

The home was originally built in the 1920s and has been lovingly remodelled – it retains that historic charm but is modern and comfortable, with all that you might need for a beachside stay. We’d be dividing our time between the sweet little patio, which is a lovely suntrap, and the various cosy corners with ocean views. The living room just calls out for evenings spent together playing cards, particularly if the weather turns chilly and you can light the fire. 

You’ll likely spend a lot of your time on the beach – it takes at most one minute to walk there. Slightly further afield, La Jolla Cove is seven minutes away by car and the thrills of Belmont Park are just eleven minutes away. La Jolla Village is a treasure trove of fine dining and exclusive boutiques, and it’s twelve minutes away by car. 

When the sun starts to dip in the sky, slip outside to the communal courtyard to take in the breath-taking sunset. Perhaps mix up a cocktail or two for the occasion – you’re on your holiday, after all.

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

Spread over three floors and with stunning sea and beach views at every turn, this beachside home will suit sun lovers to a tee. Every hour of the day can be orientated around the view, from breakfast at the dining table overlooking the ocean to evenings at the hot tub or beach-level fire pit. With seating areas across the home, you'll easily split into smaller groups here – ideal when travelling with several generations. If you are driving, you'll find yourself just a few miles from SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, downtown San Diego, and much more – though the smaller garage will limit your choice of vehicle. 

A Walk on the Beach

Courtyard

You won’t get much closer to the beach than this San Diego villa, nudged up to the golden sands of South Mission. With panoramic sea views, you’re in a prime position for watching the sunset over the North Pacific Ocean from the beachfront terrace or balcony. Located close to the seafront boardwalk, with volleyball courts, a playground, and calm waters nearby, it’s a great choice for families. It’s worth noting that this villa is only available with five bedrooms and four bathrooms during the summer – at other times it’s rented as a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home that sleeps ten.

Rock Bottom

Garden

Spread across two apartments, this two-storey Coronado Island home is ideal for two families travelling together, or a multi-generational reunion. The living spaces and kitchens on both floors let you spend some time with those closest to you, while the garden and alfresco area allow you to come together and enjoy the sun. We're particularly fond of the location – you're a stroll away from two white sandy beaches here – considered some of the country's best. One looks out across San Diego Bay, and the other is perfect for catching the sunset over the Pacific. As a bonus, the home also houses its own fleet of cruiser bikes – mount your steeds and explore the local area in style.


The Paintbrush

Located within the Palacio del Mar gated community, you’ll be able to live the country club dream at this home. Whether you choose to play a game of tennis on the courts, shoot some hoops or train in the fitness centre, it’ll be easy to keep in shape while staying here. There’s also the opportunity to play golf on the private nine-hole course, or go swimming in one of two pools, one of which is Olympic sized. What’s more, it’s less than a fifteen-minute drive to reach the beautiful beaches of the San Diego coast. After a busy day making the most of the amenities, you’ll be pleased to return to this cosy yet stylish home. Cook dinner on the barbecue for an alfresco meal in your private garden and watch the sun go down gathered around the fire pit before retiring inside to relax in one of a few sitting areas.

Blue Star

Patio / Terrace

This sunny San Diego home gives you a taste of the Californian lifestyle. Literally minutes from the beach, you'll have views of the blue ocean, the vibrant cityscape, and the iconic leafy palm trees. Wake up leisurely, make a pot of coffee and relax on one of the balconies, prettily framed by palm trees and hot pink bougainvillea. The interiors are understated and simple, with big cushiony sofas to stretch out on, an elegant long dining table, and a kitchen equipped with all you need to cook from scratch. Considering typical Cali weather and the amount of outside space this home has, you probably won't spend too much time inside. Next to the beach, close to the city, with a pretty roof terrace - this home is ideal for a fun-packed getaway.

Step onto the terrace of this smart condo in Pacific Beach, and you'll be able to spot all the landmarks you plan to visit during your trip. From Mission Bay to the glittering downtown skyline and the distant peaks of Mt Soledad, there are fantastic views across all of San Diego. You'll find bikes, boogie boards and surf boards ready for adventures on sandy Pacific beach – the water is just three blocks away. After a busy day exploring, cook some dinner in the slick kitchen as you chat over a glass of wine and make plans for the following day. Put your feet up on the sofa and settle in for a movie night, or head onto the master bedroom's private balcony to enjoy the last of the sunshine in perfect peace. 

Saltwater Breeze

Bicycles

A few blocks away from Pacific beach, this home provides surfboards, boogie boards, cruiser bikes and all that you need to conquer the waves. Even if you decide to stay in, you're not cut off from the action: the rooftop overlooks San Diego and fireworks at Sea World on the right day. The master suite is equipped with a kitchenette and plenty of communal spaces to hang out in, so catching up with friends and family indoors is an ideal way to pass an evening. Once the sun goes down, step out to explore the nearby restaurants, serving everything from sushi to tacos.

Mellow Breeze

Seaside tranquillity is what you'll find at this lovely condo, located minutes away from Mission Bay. It's decked out in relaxing grey, white and turquoise hues that mirror the views of the waterfront – you'll hardly be able to tear your eyes away from the huge windows in the living room. It's quite compact, but this home is in a great location for active holidays on the South California coast. Take a paddle board to the surf – there’s one provided – or cycle along the peninsula using one of the free bikes. If you need a rest, take a moment to pause on the golden sands of South Mission Beach and soak up the rays. Back at home you can soak your muscles in the shared spa pool, before refuelling with a barbecue on the beach or a bite from one of nearby Mission Boulevard's hip cafés. 

Channel Strand

EV Charger

Sun worshippers and surf enthusiasts will love the location of this one. Just moments from Law Street Beach, you can watch the waves crashing from your home – that's how close to the ocean you'll be. There are three large and comfortable bedrooms, and one bunk room, making this an ideal spot for a family or a group of friends with children. Plus, the open-plan setup makes it a great space for socialising, playing games or simply lounging together. Outside there's a dining area, gas barbecue and fire pit, and it's just a few steps away from the little grassy park on the bluff, overlooking the beach. The sunset from here is incredible.

Surfside

Located between Crystal Pier and Belmont Amusement Park, Chasing The Sun is a home that caters to all of its guests. Whether you like to spend your holidays with an action-packed itinerary, or simply enjoy lounging around catching up on your reading, your options here are endless. This modern home offers breathtaking views at almost every angle, and three of the upstairs bedrooms have their own private, sea-view terraces. On the ground floor, you'll find an open-plan kitchen and living area, and there's enough room in the garage to park up to two cars. Due to the bedroom set-up, we think a group of friends with children or a large family will be well-looked after here.

Chasing The Sun

This chic home has the most incredible views of La Jolla and its pure blue skies, studded with leafy palm trees. With two super king-size bedrooms, there'll be no need to draw straws, though the mega modern four-poster bed does make for a special sanctuary. This home is perfect for a group of friends or a small family looking to get some peace and quiet, or at least some time away from city life. Relax on the terrace with your group in the balmy evenings, and be sure to regularly top up your glass with chilled local wine. Moments away from La Jolla's Windansea Beach and Big Rock Reef, we can guarantee the beautiful setting will take your breath away.

The Tide

Picture-perfect from start to finish, this beach cottage is just a few steps away from the sandy shore of La Jolla Cove. The living room is decorated with wicker furniture and nautical touches, with four skylights making it a perfect spot to relax in a sunbeam and watch the sea swell from your window. The bedroom is equally relaxing, with a comfortable bed and a flat screen TV for lazy evenings; your only trouble will be deciding which beach to visit and which La Jolla Village restaurant to try next. This home is best suited for two people, but if you wanted to bring some friends or children, the sofa bed in the living area offers two additional sleep options.

Cabin Fever

Just steps from the sandy beach, this home is something the whole family will remember. With breathtaking views from almost every angle, a garden and a stunning patio, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing beach break. Inside, we’re talking vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams for a real beach house feel, and each bedroom has its own en-suite and access to an outside space – be it a balcony or the rear terrace. Facing the ocean, there’s a perfect outdoor dining area and barbecue, so you can enjoy warm evenings outdoors together, and there’s a lovely pool and spa. Best of all, you’ll have your own private access steps down to the gorgeous stretch of sand between Windansea Beach and Marine Street Beach. If you're travelling with a golf fan, Torrey Pines Golf Course is a short drive away, and San Diego Zoo is a great day out if you’re traveling with children.

Seashells by the Sea Shore

With its whitewashed, clapboard exterior, giant palm trees swaying in the garden and elegant, blue furnishings, this 1930s home screams laidback beach living - and that's before we've ever started on the ocean views. A block away from the sea and a short walk to La Jolla, inside this charming home you'll find a cosy, open-plan living/dining area with warm wooden floors and a wooden ceiling, plus a gorgeous bay window looking out across at the water. The master bedroom has one of those too, as well as elegant bedding and seriously comfortable bed. But it's the location that's the star of the show here. As well as the beach and La Jolla town, you're also within striking distance of the spectacular ecological reserve, La Jolla Cove. The water here is extraordinarily clear, and on a good day you can see more than 30km. So get your snorkel ready and dive on in.

Sea Bass Cove

Imagine waking up to the sound of crashing waves as a sea breeze drifts into your bedroom. Luckily, that can quite easily become a reality when staying at this modern home just moments from Mission Beach Park. Fitted with four bedrooms, one of which is best suited for children, this is a great spot for a large family or a group of friends with children to get together and spend a relaxing trip on San Diego's white, sandy beaches. 

Beach Republic

Safe

Prepare to be left speechless by the view as you open up the 32-foot retractable sliding doors to soak up the ocean breeze at this beachfront home. With glass walls offering unobstructed views of the beach and boardwalk, you'll be awestruck from the moment you arrive. The open concept kitchen is perfect for entertaining, with its sleek counters, polished stainless steel accents and imported stone flooring. Though it's not the biggest space, the floor plan has been cleverly designed to include a cool dining nook and plush living area, and a quick slide of the glazed frontage makes the space immediately double in size. With the soft, powdery sand of the beach literally on your doorstep, we doubt you'll want to go far. But if you do, you'll find an array of shops, restaurants and bars just a stone's throw away. 

My Blue Ocean

Perfectly positioned on the famous Mission Beach boardwalk, this location is hard to beat if you’re looking to stay right on the waterfront. With cosy private terraces and an outdoor grill area that invites you to dine alfresco while you breathe in the fresh sea air, it's the outside areas of this home that steal the show (though the inside is just as well executed). Warm and welcoming, you'll find wood-panelled ceilings and expansive windows that allow you to enjoy the Pacific Ocean views from almost every angle – a true paradise. The white powdery sand is just steps away, and within two blocks, you'll discover an array of watersport rentals, restaurants, markets and beach boutiques. 

My Blue Wave

Shaded by towering tropical trees, the best way to start the day is with the salty sea breeze in your hair here. Sun-soaked and earthy, we love the feel of this home. And it gets better. Just a few footsteps take you straight to South Mission Beach, where you have amazing restaurants, bars, and markets at your fingertips. While the beach is hard to tear yourself away from, we'd spare some time to explore nearby golf courses, shops, and the good old Giant Dipper Roller Coaster at the Belmont Amusement Park – all just a short walk away. At the end of the day, you can return to your modern-Victorian home for a soak in the tub and a barbecue in the private courtyard.  

My Blue Breeze

Steps away from the water, Briarford can offer you all the delights of the San Diego seaside. There are all sorts of activities to keep you busy, from paddle-boarding in the bay to hopping on a sailing boat, or just having a cocktail under the shade of the trees in the garden. The interior is comfortable, with decent amenities, but honestly, this home is all about the location, and on that front, it’s hard to beat.


Briarford

This incredible beachfront penthouse is the stuff of dreams. Truly leave behind city stresses in a modern apartment sitting on the famous white and sandy beaches of San Diego. You'll have breathtaking sweeping sea views from almost every angle, the beach is your backyard, and the monochrome and warm wood interiors are simple and modern for your convenience and comfort. Prepare a fresh and zingy salade niçoise in the sunny kitchen with vaulted, glass ceilings or simply throw your favourite meat and vegetables on the barbecue for alfresco dinners. You'll be a short distance from Belmont Park - San Diego's historic amusement park - for some quintessential Californian culture, but we won't blame you if you just want to surf and sunbathe all day and night on your trip in the sun.

Ride The Waves

Taking inspiration from the Pacific Ocean right on your doorstep, this beachfront home is a calming oasis of whites and blues. With walls of glass and multiple balconies, you won’t miss a second of the boundless vistas. Fall asleep to the sound of waves and wake up to a fresh open breeze—roll straight out of bed and onto your deck and fill your lungs with that revitalising sea air. Days can be spent bronzing on the raised terrace; carving through the swells on surfboards or simply ambling the length of the palm-fringed beach. Head home, sandy-toed to the shady nooks of the sprawling patio for freshly grilled fish hot off the barbecue and refreshing cocktails in the hot tub. A small casita next to the central courtyard is perfect for family games nights and movies on the large TV, or just for when you need a quiet moment alone with your book. And what’s more, you're also only a five-minute walk from La Jolla Shores Park, perfect for peaceful sunset strolls.

A New York-style loft with views that the Big Apple could only dream of, this glorious San Diego home offers style, sun and sea. Huge windows make the most of that incredible ocean-facing vista (the home is only a block away from the beach) and are beautifully complimented by the elegant, minimal design. Wooden beams, a leather sofa, chrome stools and a nifty mezzanine level all add to that Manhattanite feeling. But where this home really stands out is the sunny roof terrace. With an enormous barbecue, plenty of seating and a hammock, a lazy dinner here at sunset is the epitome of San Diego living. Downtown is only a 10-minute drive away and Mission Beach is just the other side of the bay.

Return in the evening to enjoy a movie on a rotating TV flat-panel, or set the lights to the right mood, play a tune on the ceiling speakers and enjoy a beer around the fire pit. Once the evenings over, drift off to sleep in an adjustable king-size bed.

Sophisticated, timeless and dazzling are just a few words to describe this stunning home in the Covenant in Rancho Santa Fe. Worthy of a magazine cover and set within an impressive two-acre estate, you're in for a memorable stay here. It's impossible to ignore just how much light makes it through this home, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living – as this mansion is certainly equipped for both. A perfect day begins with a morning spent soaking up the sunshine by the pool, followed by lunch prepared in the outdoor kitchen and a drink from the full-service bar. Spend afternoons making memories with lawn games amidst the rose bushes and maybe a round of billiards, or find your quiet corner to delve into your holiday read. The elegant dining space is fit for a banquet, so feel free to flex your culinary muscles in the state-of-the-art kitchen. You'll look forward to retiring to the luxurious bedrooms and dressing rooms. For a little more privacy, a lucky guest or couple can stay in the self-contained casita (which can also be used as a fitness facility).



Casa Molino

Step-Free Access

Waking up to ocean vistas is a scene you'll never tire of at this immaculate beachfront home, placed just steps from the golden shores of La Jolla - San Diego's most desirable seafront neighbourhood. Bright, light, and breezy with vaulted ceilings and cool, wooden floors – this is Californian-style living at its finest. The large windows invite you to gaze out over the green parklands and the sea beyond, and if you're lucky, you might just catch a glimpse of dolphins splashing around in the open ocean. A home begging for a large group of friends or family to come together, there's heaps of space to spill out here including two detached king-sized bedrooms for that added bit of privacy. Pad out into the backyard for a relaxing soak in the spa after days at the beach, while little ones can let off some steam playing in the fenced grass yard, or with a game of table tennis. When thoughts turn to food, gather your troops around the eight-foot dining table for memorable evening meals overlooking the ocean –⁠ cooking is a joy in the made-for-action, sociable kitchen. Or head to the bustling local restaurants for an evening meal – we hear the local pizzeria and ice cream parlour (both seven minutes on foot) are unmissable. Just be sure to make it back to watch the sunset over the horizon – there's a front-row seat waiting at home.

Dolphin Bay

The garden feels like your very own slice of Eden – not only are the plants beautiful, but most of them are edible too and organically grown. Sweeps of bright orange nasturtium fill the spaces that aren’t manicured and there are cascading waterfalls to add to the feeling of zen. It might be impossible to leave this tranquil space, especially when you can enjoy the tropical vistas from the steamy hot tub. 

However, the interiors are similarly charming and considered, celebrating materials such as stainless steel, glass and wood. Even the cabinets throughout the house are eco-minded, made from recycled cork, and the kitchen is kitted out for a professional chef. Rustle up delicious meals and use freshly-picked herbs from your own garden to garnish.

Chill out in the fully air-conditioned home, and drink fresh juice in the mornings as you slowly wake up at the breakfast bar.
