Decide Where to Call Home

Turning to Beachfront Only for your vacation rental needs means you have your choice of well-appointed vacation rentals in popular California towns. Our rentals are all in North County San Diego, so you’re only about a 30-minute drive from downtown San Diego. Our Carlsbad rentals are found slightly above the beach, and many are within walking distance of downtown. Be close to incredible surfing spots by staying in Encinitas, or stay in the unique community of Oceanside.

Create an Itinerary of Winter-Friendly Activities

Winter here is known for its idyllic conditions, with temperatures usually in the mid-50s to mid-60s during the day, then cooling off a bit more in the evenings. These conditions are perfect for several outdoor and indoor activities:

-Go for a sunset stroll on the beach.

-Book a surfing lesson with Enjoy The Ride Surf School or Oceanside Surf School.

-See if you can spot gray whales on a seasonal whale-watching trip with Oceanside Adventures.

-Sip on a local brew at popular San Diego area breweries, including Culture Brewing Co.

-Take in endless natural beauty at the San Diego Botanic Garden.

-Learn about San Diego’s history at local historical sites.

-Warm up at a local coffee shop, like Steady State Roasting or Pannikin Coffee & Tea.

Put Together Your Packing List

After deciding where to call home and what to do on your vacation, the work’s not done quite yet. To help make packing a breeze, create a list of what you want to bring, including light waterproof jackets, comfortable walking shoes, and a few warmer items for at night. This list will help ensure you have everything you need and reduce the risk of forgetting anything when repacking at the end of your trip.
