San Diego is one of the most popular travel destinations in the country and is the perfect spot for beach rentals in California. Located on the Pacific coast, San Diego boasts gorgeous beaches, lush, green parks, and warm, sunny weather year-round. There's plenty of excitement in the city, such as visiting the famous USS Midway aircraft carrier and historic museum, exploring the vast Balboa Park, and seeing wildlife at the San Diego Zoo.

Things to do
Sightseeing near San Diego vacation rentals
You can't visit San Diego and skip Balboa Park, site of the famous San Diego Zoo. But if you're not enticed by the giraffes grazing in Safari Park, then be sure to visit this sprawling urban cultural park's numerous art galleries, museums, and theaters. After, be sure to visit the San Diego Harbor, where you can climb aboard the USS Midway, an aircraft-carrier-turned-museum. Other local highlights include Birch Aquarium, the San Diego Botanic Garden, and the Historic Gaslamp Quarter, which is a 16-block historic district known for its nightlife and restaurant scene.

Outdoor adventure near San Diego vacation homes
The diverse landscape of San Diego is an adventure playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Vacation homes in San Diego put you within reach of the best the area has to offer, from leisurely nature experiences to adrenaline-fueled adventures. You can hike in the foothills to find hidden waterfalls and swimming holes, sail in Mission Bay, camp under the stars in the desert, take in the coastal views with skydiving or paragliding, and much more.
Weather
Local weather for your stay in San Diego vacation rentals
The locals love bragging about the weather, with near-perfect temps lasting almost the entire year. Summers are hectic, busy, and more expensive, but the Pacific Ocean's rarely-warm temps might be enough to lure you into booking that San Diego vacation rental after all. If crowds really aren't your scene, then September and October are the ideal time to visit, when prices drop but temps barely see a dip. Winters are unsurprisingly quiet, but so are May and June, thanks to the region's bout of gray weather, known as May Gray and June Gloom.

A city full of rolling waves and rolling hills
Situated just 20 miles north of the Mexican border, San Diego's biggest natural attraction is, undoubtedly, its 70 miles of stunning, sandy beaches.

San Diego also features acres of densely forested hills, perfect for hiking, fertile valleys that are ideal for a budding wine region of its own, and plenty of mountains, canyons, and desert in between.
