There are plenty of good reasons to give preference to San Diego vacation rentals over local area hotels.
The most important one is that a majority of visitors come here for family/beach vacations on the Southern California Pacific Coast.
There's no better way to do that than in a beach-front home.
Guests can step right out of their home and straight onto the sandy beach with the Pacific stretching out in front.
Also to be noted that a home, condo or apartment rental will be far less expensive for large families and groups and for those who need an extended stay.
It also provides a whole lot more space and facilities than a hotel suite, while a hotel guest room is nowhere close to being as good as a rental.
The only real question that remains to be answered is which part of San Diego has the best choices, and what facilities to expect therein.
By far the most popular location for a rental is Mission Beach and Mission Bay.
There are homes that are right on the beach here, and condos on the Boardwalk with Mission Bay only a block away.
The ocean views are completely unobstructed, and all the major attractions are within 5-15 minutes away.
This includes Pacific Beach, Belmont Park, Crystal Pier, Zoo and Sea World, downtown and the airport.
Mission beach is slightly more affordable than a Mission Bay rental, which are likely to be more upscale.
Other popular locations for San Diego vacation rentals include Oceanside, La Jolla, Carlsbad, Coronado, Del Mar and Encinitas.
Note that each area has its own specific visitor types who enjoy the local attractions nearby.
For example, those in Carlsbad may be looking at a family vacation to Legoland, while La Jolla is famous for its outdoors activities and secluded beaches.
Whatever the choice of location or rental type, all visitors can expect an ocean view with the property near (if not on) the beach.
Kitchens and dining areas will be fully equipped for preparing and serving meals.
Multiple bedrooms and baths are common, and everything from 2 & 3 bedroom units for a single family to large homes for groups with 5 or 6 bedrooms and sleeper sofas in the living room are available.
All the modern amenities including wi-fi internet, flat-screen television, dvd players and entertainment systems are likely to be available.
A free reserved parking spot will be available on property, and there'll be no shortage of facilities nearby such as shopping, restaurants and clubs and bars for entertainment.
The bottom line here is that the only thing stopping more visitors from opting for San Diego vacation rentals over a hotel is a lack of awareness of how good and affordable the rentals are.
