The Coastal Project reviews
I am a home owner and have trusted The Coastal Project to both short-term and long-term rent my house out for more than 3 years now. I recently visited and chatted with some old friends/neighbors that still live in the community where I am renting my house and they had only glowing reviews and thoughts about the long-term renters that The Coastal Project found for my home! That makes me feel so relieved and happy as the homeowner because I know that The Coastal Project prioritizes finding good tenants and then they do a wonderful job of taking care of them, as much as they care and prioritize…
My husband and I had a great experience with The Coastal Project at one of their Oceanside condos (Northcoast Village). Communication was excellent, the condo had awesome amenities (pool, gym, spas, parking garage, etc) and was just steps away from the beach. The room was spotless and came stocked with towels, shower toiletries, extra pillows/blankets, etc. Would absolutely recommend them for your next beach vacation!
This property was perfect for our trip. The location is perfect. I will definitely be going back.
We had an amazing time at this property. There was so much space for a big group and they had all the amenities! Anything you really needed was already at the VRBO. They were very responsive and helpful with any questions I had. Would recommend for all, 10/10 experience!
Team was super communicative and helpful. Nice play and close to most places!
This place was phenomenal, clean and very home feeling. Definitely highly recommend this location and the people in charge of the bnb are super nice with quick responses if asked something.
We had such a great experience at this vacation rental. We have rented many places before and this experience was the best we’ve ever had. The property couldn’t have been cleaner and it had everything we needed for a completely carefree trip! We hope to stay her again in the near future!
Wonderful place! We stayed the full month of April and were so comfortable there. Location can’t be beat (bay & beach are just steps away) and the view of the bay is a huge bonus! Communication with host was five-star.
We just stayed at one of the Coastal Projects Airbnb properties this weekend in Carlsbad. I can't say enough about the level of customer service provided by The Coastal Project team. Fast friendly response, extremely accommodating with early check in and late check out options. The condo we rented looked exactly like the pictures. Beautiful property. We will be back!
Perfect location! The beach cottage was comfortable with fully equipped, clean, and beautifully decorated rooms. When walking out the wonderful garden patio gate, to the right is the bay. Mission bay is a couple of home away. To the left is Mission rd., across and a couple of homes your at the boardwalk and Pacific Ocean. Within walking distance are choices of restaurants. We will return for another relaxing and fun stay.
Perfect spot for a couple! It’s small but well laid out, clean and has everything you need. The location is completely unbeatable for the price.
Beautiful house, great host, and fun experience for our family. We loved the hot tub, corn hole, mini golf, shuffle board, comfy beds, beautiful deck, and the fact that is was close enough to stores and the ocean , yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The house is very charming, clean, and has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable vacation. We were pleasantly surprised to find beach equipment available as well, which made our days by the sea even easier and more enjoyable. The location is excellent: the beach is only about a 5-minute walk away, and there’s also a nearby street with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops, all within easy walking distance. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday by the sea.
What a gem! Beach is a block away. Well appointed rental that has everything we needed. Things are updated and usable, which can be a miss with other rentals. We loved our time here and can’t wait to come back. Make sure you head to the beach to enjoy the sunsets!
The Coastal Project have been perfect hosts for us on multiple stays in San Diego. Coordination has been great, very supportive and attentive throughout our stay. On our first visit they responded quickly and effectively to take care of a leaking water heater on the property. Highly recommend.
This 2-bedroom, 1-bath place was perfect for our stay in San Diego. It was clean, well organized, and located in a spot that was away from a lot of traffic, but close to get to everywhere we needed to go.
I had a fantastic stay at this 1-bedroom condo in San Diego! The place was exactly as described—clean, modern, and really comfortable. The bed was super cozy, and the whole space had a relaxing vibe that made it easy to unwind after a day out. The location was a huge plus—close to the beach, great restaurants, and everything I wanted to explore. It was easy to get around, and I loved being able to come back to a quiet, peaceful spot. Everything I needed was provided, and the condo was well-maintained and thoughtfully set up. It honestly felt like a home away from home. I would definitely st…
Convenient location to enjoy the beach and restaurants. Perfect for four people to enjoy a comfortable sleeping set up and the kitchen was great for cooking some of our meals. We enjoyed the view of the ocean while we ate breakfast.
Great location! Great communication! Enjoyed the close access to beach, yummy food nearby and a cozy stay. Thank you!
We recently stayed with The Coastal Project in La Jolla with our family and had a great experience. The place was beautiful and our kids loved the pool. My son and my husband even got to go surfing, which they loved. The team we spoke with on the phone was also very helpful and always available if we needed anything, which made our stay even better. We would definitely stay with them again.
John is the best and made my experience applying for a place and renting seamless. I absolutely love the apartment and John is super quick to answer and resolve any issue that I have. Would absolutely rent again from them in the future.
Easy check-in and check-out. The hosts were very communicative and responsive, and the location was convenient for getting around. Overall a nice stay
I had an epic 5 night first stay in one of their apartments, and I highly recommend it. I'll keep it in mind if I ever need a place for a longer working stay. It's a spacious, super functional basic apartment that's very well maintained. Keypad checkin was very flexible and smooth. The host was noteably thoughtful and responsive throughout my stay. This is one of the good airbnb apartments for sure! And it's in a family kind neighborhood neighborhood right next to the heart of PB. The specific neighborhood is peaceful, but the whole PB beach abs scene is only a 2 block walk away.
Easy access to the apartment. Stroller accessible. Quiet, even though it’s in the middle of an entertainment district. Great windows, whether to let in the light, see the sights, or darken at night. Loft design is fun, yet creates a “separate” bedroom. Hosts are quickly responsive.
We stayed at one of their homes and honestly had the best time. I went with my kids for Thanksgiving, and it was exactly what we needed. The house was super cozy, the weather was perfect, and the kids basically lived in the pool. Everything felt easy, comfortable, and stress-free. We made so many good memories together. I’m really grateful for the experience and would totally stay with them again!
This Airbnb was great! Would definitely book again if I go back to San Diego. The location was perfect right in Mission Beach. Walk out the door and the bay is to your left and the beach is to your right. Was perfect to just go outside and walk around, see scenery/so many bars and restaurants right in the area. It was also a really close drive to everything around San Diego that we wanted to see. Host was very responsive and helpful!
I had such a great experience with this company! The service was excellent — they were always quick to respond, super professional, and made everything really easy from start to finish. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. You can tell they really care about their clients and go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. I’d definitely rent with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable housing and great customer care!
Best Best Location clean and super updated loft accommodations!! Felt very much at home!
Mi familia y yo disfrutamos mucho el espacio de esta casa, es una zona muy tranquila y cerca de la playa, la recomiendo ampliamente. La comunicación con el propietario fue excelente siempre hubo respuesta inmediata.
Location was great!! The apartment was really nice clean and comfortable feelt like 🏠 communication was really great thank you so much
Perfect for the three of us! A few blocks from the beach and a 5 minute drive to La Jolla center. Appreciated the A/C but didn’t always need it.
House was clean when we arrived…communication was top notch throughout our stay!
Our week in Mission Beach staying at 811 Vanitie Court was very relaxing. The unit was as advertised with full kitchen with every cooking utensil you could think of to make our week enjoyable. The rooms were comfortable with ceiling fans in every room. Plenty of closet storage & the MBR bath was very functional. Only glitch was an electrical issue in the family room but quickly resolved. Recommend staying here & enjoying the bayside amenities. Everything is within walking distance or bike ride.
My family and I stayed at property managed by Coastal Project in San Diego about a month ago. The amenities were not as advertised, specifically the availability of a second SUP, which we were excited to use. There was only one and we decided not to use it since we could not go together. They offered us a $50 credit for our next stay, which was an empty consolation since I do not go to San Diego regularly. After my stay, they alleged that we had broken the coffee pot during out stay. We did not even use the coffee pot since my sister brought some instant coffee from overseas that I really…
Our family had a wonderful time at this gorgeous and cozy home! The beds were comfortable and it was a short walk to the beach. Lovely backyard as well. Highly recommend!
This was really an awesome experience, a great place to stay
Great place, great stay, good property managers.
Loved it!! We had such a great time and the view was amazing . Already showing and sharing with friends to come visit
Great house and the service/communication were top notch!
Unless you drive a smart car or motorcycle stay away from this property. Family trip to CA and ended up having to find new accommodations. Was driving a very compact car and still couldn’t access garage from tight alley. No overnight street parking. Terrible customer service. Would leave zero stars if possible.
Very punctual through our whole AirBnb check in, stay, and checkout. They did amazing!!
It was a very convenient spot, everything Little Italy was walking distance. It was tastefully decorated and very thoughtful of the host to have products like shampoo and conditioner, along with laundry detergent to make traveling so much easier!
Rented an until in San Clemente. After 2 weeks it was full of black mold. They offered no compensation for the inconvenience. Sent 2 emails to the owners and they didn’t bother to respond. The unit was relisted for rent the same night we vacated. BEWARE The company has replied to this review but did not to 2 emails sent. We were demanding compensation YES absolutely. For being exposed to black mold for 2 weeks. For being forced out of the h it that we had booked for one month. We were displaced. So the review is not misleading. It’s 100 percent accurate. Furthermore the unit was relisted fo…
Truly enjoyed the private enclosed backyard with firepit and bbq pit.
This was a super cute house and private parking was a plus. It’s in a great location and would definitely stay here again. The bikes came in handy as well
The coastal project is one of the best host I have ever been with. It has a classic and elegant design; the houses are spacious and the service is good
This loft was great! Clean, cute, spacious, cost effective compared to nearby hotels. Perfect little Italy location/landing spot for SD. Close to public transport, the water, restaurants. This would be perfect for a single traveler or a couple with a kid. Bed was comfy, living space was fun and industrial vibe. Has that cool city lift feel. Notably roomy, there is a whole private patio with laundry. Hope to stay here again when coming back down to SD. Of note, they had a white noise machine next to bed. Nice detail. 5 stars!
I felt as if I was at home in their place, clean place, roomy, comfortable and everything you need, I almost didn't want to leave, walking distance to pretty much everything including grocery store s, awesome restaurants, the beaches etc. They are very helpful if you need anything, highly recommended
The place is large, we were perfectly accommodated and calm without any inconvenience or concern about anything, the beaches were beautiful and the cleaning service was very good
House efficient in amenities and hospitable. Peace and quiet and close to the sea. I highly recommend staying in this house. One wonderful word
Location was perfect walking distance to the beach on both sides of home. House was super clean plenty of space. In front of the house was a shower, table and fireplace super cozy vibes. Plenty of activities in walking distance such as the board walk, cute coffee places, stores and places to eat, would love to book again.
A nice experience the house had beautiful
the house had a beautiful and the location was unbeatable
This was an amazing place! We'd a great time :)
Nice and fast communication. On request we even got extra coffee and washing machine capsules. It's also very nice that you can do the laundry.
If your looking to enjoy the beach/surf and wander around town it’s as promised would recommend. And also, very nice customer support
The beds were exceptionally comfortable, providing a restful retreat after days of exploring.
Absolutely gorgeous property and walkable to the beach! The host went above and beyond to help and was extremely responsive. Would definitely stay here again if I was in town!
Lovely stay here! Great location for a quick walk to the water and plenty of options nearby for tasty food. The hosts were great! Would recommend!
Everything you need at a great value. Great location, comfortable bed, good shower and everything was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful
Great location a stones throw away from the cozy bay and the sea. Bicycle rental around the corner. We almost didn't use the car. Efficient use of the available space was made. Car parking in front of the door was also very nice.
We had a wonderful stay. The condo is beautiful. Just steps aways from the bay and a quick walk across the street to the beach. Great restaurants and coffee shops all within walking distance. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning!
Beautiful! Very clean and comfortable place to stay. Felt just like home. The response team got back to us quickly and made sure we had everything we needed to provide us with the best experience. Overall, it was really great! Nothing bad to say. We would recommend staying here to anyone
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great amenities and ideal location. Thank you!
Great hosts! Very fast response time. We had a wonderful stay. The home was clean, peaceful, and in a convenient location. Would definitely book with them again.
Our trip was great, all things were in order, the neighborhood was very quiet with restaurants and coffee shops nearby

Our trip to San Diego was all about trying the amazing food scene, and The Coastal Project was located perfectly! We were within walking distance of incredible restaurants, and the kitchen was great for trying out recipes with fresh, local ingredients. A dream for food lovers!
Our original vacation rental canceled on us at the last minute, and The Coastal Project saved the day! The property was even better than the one we had booked. It was clean, comfortable, and ready for us within hours. Thank you for turning a disaster into an amazing vacation!
The Coastal Project property we stayed in was beyond perfect for our girls’ weekend! The modern decor, comfortable beds, and proximity to shops and restaurants made it a dream. The property had everything we needed, and the team was so responsive. We’ll definitely be booking again!
As a solo traveler, I loved staying at a Coastal Project property. It felt safe, welcoming, and super comfortable. The attention to detail in the decor and the amenities made it feel like a home away from home. I can’t wait to stay again!
Our extended family rented a Coastal Project home for a reunion, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The house was huge, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and spend time together. The location near the beach was a huge plus!

As a returned missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, visiting my former mission companions in San Diego was an incredibly special experience, and staying with The Coastal Project made it even better.
