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.

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.

Located in the heart of North Park, you are in walking distance to unique restaurants and bars, nearby Hillcrest and the Zoo. 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.

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.

When it comes to Afternoon Delight, it's all about the location. Boasting delightful views over San Diego Bay, the home is just three blocks from India Street in the centre of Little Italy, where a vast range of wonderful restaurants await your visit. On top of that, Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Hillcrest and Downtown are all within walking distance, so you really won't be running out of things to do and see. Of course, it only helps that Afternoon Delight is also a wonderful space to call home. This modern build can accommodate up to five guests comfortably, with one of them sleeping on the double pull-down bed in the second living space. The rest of the home has been beautifully furnished and boasts modern amenities and appliances for a relaxing stay.

A fun-filled stay awaits at this San Diego home. From family celebrations to getaways with friends, it's packed with things to keep you entertained – board games, a hot tub, and even a karaoke machine. We also love the design. It's the perfect blend of old and new, marrying Victorian character with all the comforts of modern living. The outdoor space is a real highlight – it's the ideal setting for evening tipples – while the main bathroom has a clawfoot tub, which is the epitome of relaxation. Even better is the location. San Diego's world-class eateries, beaches, and attractions are all just a short drive away.

Set on 4 acres in the heart of wine and avocado country, this countryside home offers a dreamy Californian escape. It’s a beautiful home in Fallbrook, the eco-friendly neighbour to the grand wine estates of Temecula, which is only twenty minutes away. It boasts panoramic views and has been designed to show them off, so you can expect vast windows and stunning vistas in every room. There’s an outdoor kitchen and dining area close to the courtyard rose garden and the orchard of citrus trees, as well as chairs to lounge on beneath the wisteria. You’ll have everything you need here, including a gourmet kitchen and a heated pool.

Think of the striking oceanside setting of Big Little Lies, but without all the drama; that's what you've got here. If you’ve ever imagined yourself waking up in a Pinterest-worthy boho-chic condo before setting out to the tennis courts, or the beach then this is the place for you. Zig-zagging stairs lead directly from the home to miles of sandy beach, paved coastal walkways and the striking bluffs along Route 101. Within the apartment you’ll find a medley of dusky pinks and purples creating a calming sunset feel. Each moss-green cushion, vase of wildflowers and earthenware mug feels like its placement has been carefully considered. Hidden away behind a cupboard door you’ll find all the accoutrements needed for an active day; tennis rackets, boogie boards, ping pong paddles, beach towels and a cool box. And tucked up in the loft space there’s a floppy-cushion-filled hang-out space made with teens in mind.

San Diego is known for its leafy parks, coffee shops, and world-famous zoo, so naturally, you probably want a home with easy access to all the above. Well, at this oh-so-trendy apartment, you'll be immersed in the local community, located right across the street from Balboa Park and within arm's reach of the city's best cultural attractions. Inside, the home is a picture of laid-back SoCal design, benefitting from a monochromatic style, hemp furnishings, desert plants and matching art, previously mentioned in Conde Nast and San Diego Magazine. A sanctuary of calm, the living space features neutral tones with light wood flooring and comfy seating that makes for the perfect spot to kick back in after a day wandering the city. For those in town on business, there's a sleek desk space for powering through emails before heading out to explore. The neighbourhood of North Park is just a seven-minute walk away – it's great for flat-white sipping, beer tasting and boutique browsing. You’re even closer to the San Diego Zoo (a four-minute drive), and under fifteen minutes from the beach – placing you squarely in the middle of the action. Pack a picnic and watch the sunset on the sand, then take the long way home, soaking in the balmy nights of this lively city.

Balboa Oasis

Hidden in the rocky hills of Escondido, this Californian home opens its doors onto a large and luxurious playground. Like a warm embrace, the interiors reflect traditional Spanish style with a fun twist. Breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape fill the large living area, making this the perfect spot to relax and soak in the views or challenge yourself to a game of pool or table tennis. Wherever you turn in this home, there’s an opportunity to be entertained. Spread across six acres, there’s plenty of space to move at your own rhythm. Whether you’re relaxing by the swimming pool, cooking in the kitchen or out on the tennis court, experience the magic of this secluded spot in the heart of San Diego. And when you want to spread your wings, the beach and local restaurants are only a short drive away. As the day fades, you’ll be flying back to this rural retreat to watch the sunset as you raise a glass to this playful paradise.

Stair Gates

This rural retreat is stretched across three stunning acres of Californian countryside in the heart of San Diego’s North County. Surrounded by eucalyptus, pepper and palm trees, the fresh air invites a deep sense of relaxation and this continues when you step inside this traditional Spanish home. It’s hard not to be mesmerised by the views, which fill the home with a luminous quality, and with a large living and dining area, there are plenty of comfy spots to sit and admire the beauty. Upstairs, the bedrooms have their own individual charm and character, with ornate features, like four-poster beds and antique furniture, lending a regal tone — you may well feel like royalty when you wake up and look out onto the lush gardens. After a restful night’s sleep, make your way down to the swimming pool for a revitalising dip, before eating breakfast on the patio. Spend your day relaxing on the grounds, or if you’re in the mood for fun, there’s plenty to keep you entertained with a pool table, pinball machines and a ping-pong table. If you want to see the great outdoors, there are also incredible hiking and mountain biking trails that start moments from your front door. As the day draws to a close, light up the fire pit table on the terrace and bathe in the glow of this magical setting with your loved ones.

Nestled into the San Diego hillside, this sprawling home is something nearer to an estate. We’ll let you decide whether you’d like to enjoy the impeccable views over the valley from the bedroom, dining table, pool or tennis court. Wake up with breakfast on the deck and then soak in even more Southern California sunshine on a lounger by the pool. Cool off with a dip before a heated match of tennis – the champion will have to defend themselves at the pool table later. While the playground, pool, and court alone are reasons to stay here, we can’t get over the inside of the home – a blend of antique furniture, modern glass doors, Spanish chandeliers, and high wooden ceilings make time indoors equally well spent. With stone walls, rooms flooded with light and hand-crafted wooden beds you and your family and friends will feel like royalty. As the evening nears, light up the barbecue and watch the sky change colors. And of course, if you somehow run out of things to do, you’re right above one of California’s biggest cities, with plenty of dining, culture and nightlife to keep you busy.

In a tranquil San Deigo neighbourhood, this beautiful home is a five-minute drive from the waterside activities of Mission Bay Park and seven minutes from Sea World. A traditional, Spanish-style exterior hides a distinctly boho-luxe vibe inside. The white of the living room is brought to life with a small jungle of house plants, and the dining table made from reclaimed wood is an ideal place to gather for a group meal. Your host is a nutritionist and chef (she provides a fabulous list of restaurant recommendations), so rest assured the kitchen comes fully stocked with everything you need, including a bar trolley with all the necessities for mixing up a cocktail or two. Outside, the back terrace is a real sun trap. A gas grill awaits for long, sunny lunches outside and a big L-shaped sofa catches the afternoon rays. Come evening, a chiminea can be lit to keep the cold at bay. 

Chef's Kiss

Those who see being described as 'meticulous' as something to be proud of will adore this three-storey home in San Diego's North Park neighbourhood. Every component has been thoughtfully considered, from the manicured gardens upon entrance and the colourful modern furniture in the living room, to the sleek kitchen bathed in natural light from the windows running along one wall. Even the exterior is pleasing to look at, the clean lines and black panelling making it stand out as a pillar of modernity in the locale. That being said, you won't feel as if you're in a showroom, thanks to the bountiful amount of space dedicated to relaxation — our favourite has to be the balcony on the first floor that puts you at tree-top level. The location is superb, too. Balboa Park — which holds San Diego Zoo — can be reached in under fifteen minutes on foot, while you can drive to Coronado Beach in ten minutes.

Just a one-minute walk from Mission Beach in sunny San Diego, this beautiful beach cottage is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing coastal break. Built in the 1930s and stunningly renovated with a boho-beach vibe, you’ll feel instantly laid-back from the moment you walk through the door. Wood floors, white walls and bamboo blinds set the scene in the bright living room with its Dutch door to let the ocean breeze flow through, while the master bedroom exudes beach bliss with its wall of wicker ornaments. The second bedroom has a peaceful jungle feel with its forest green walls and even has a desk space with built-in charging ports should you need to catch up on emails before a day of sun and sand. Outside on the front porch, there’s a deck set up with a table and chairs ready to host alfresco dinners and lazy afternoons enjoying the welcome snacks and drinks provided. You’ll be sure to stay cool here too thanks to the overhead fan. When you’re not hanging out in your peaceful pad, grab the sun chairs, umbrella, sand toys and beach towels offered and head to the beach. Alternatively, walk ten minutes to the Mission Bay Sportcenter where you can rent kayaks, jet skis, sailboats and surf gear for a day of ocean adventure.

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.

Sophisticated yet comfortable, this resort-style home is sure to impress. It’s in the city of Encinitas, close to the beach but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to make for a relaxing base. We love the outside space, which boasts a salt-water pool and spa, along with a Gas Viking barbecue and an authentic pizza oven. Best of all, there are numerous lovely spots to enjoy the sunset from. Inside, there’s plenty of space for everyone to gather together, but there are cosy corners too. If you’re anything like us, you’ll love the elegant en-suites – particularly the one with a dreamy garden-view tub.

With direct access to Windansea Beach, this home makes the perfect setting for a laid-back coastal escape. You’ll be welcomed by beautiful views across La Jolla, a heated swimming pool and plenty of space to relax both inside and out. The host has also provided beach essentials and two cruiser bikes – a great way to explore the coast. And while it’s the ideal grown-up retreat, it’s also family-friendly with bunk beds for children and a pool fence available on request. For adventures further afield, it’s just a five-minute drive to La Jolla’s main attractions.
