Cool San Diego Airbnbs That Are Basically Made for Your Elopement

We all want to stay in an epic Airbnb when we travel. I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that…

So where you stay for your elopement should be high on your list of priorities.

It’s where your day begins, drink your coffee, write your vows. Where some of your favorite memories will happen.

So yes… it matters.

If you’re eloping in San Diego, these are the kind of stays I’d be sending my couples immediately.

Santorini-Inspired Cottage w/ Hot Tub + Views

This one is easily the standout AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!

It has that Santorini, clean, coastal, sun-soaked feel that just hits different.
Bright whites, open air, ocean views… it feels like a destination without leaving California.

If you’re the type of couple who wants your stay to feel destination, romantic, and private, this is it. The type of place you’d be happy to stay in vs. eat out.

As your photographer… this kind of space is a dream.

Nearby vibe: Centrally located in South Mission Hills, blocks away from International Restaurant Row, short drive from the airport, nearby the iconic sunset cliffs, and rooftop ocean views that get you excited for the weekend.

This one feels like that perfect balance of modern spa + cozy.

Clean lines, neutral tones… I mean you have a SAUNA in your room are you kidding!
It’s elevated and like a mini retreat.

This is for couples who want something that feels a little more polished and enjoy those relaxing spa amenities... with a glass of wine? :)

Nearby vibe: Cute coffee shop and restaurants walking distance, North Park is one of the most popular “hipster” neighborhoods in San Diego, craft beer scene, boutique shopping, 1.5 miles from Balboa Park perfect for exploring museums and gardens.

This one feels bright and fun.

Stylish, lots of space and you know you want to sit in that swing with your morning coffee!

Nearby vibe: You’re in the heart of Little Italy neighborhood which is iconic for restaurants, you are staying above a top voted breakfast spot, what more could you want! Also (Morning Glory Restaurrant- Japanese souffle pancakes- look it up!), short walk to the bay front, and even better you get a parking spot

CHECK OUT THIS AIRBNB LISTING

This one feels so charming and romantic.

It’s intentional, cozy, and full of character and feels like a slice of home.

These are the kinds of stays that make your elopement feel memorable in a totally different way.

Nearby vibe:
Right in historic Hillcrest neighborhood which is cozy and quiet, perfect central spot if you are foodie’s! Just over a mile from Balboa Park, right by the airport. Really the best spot that isn’t in the busier parts of San Diego.

Here’s my advice…

Pick a place that will bring you peace.

Yes prime location, amenities, aesthetic, price, all that play a role however THIS is the place you’ll have your quiet moments before your best moments. You want a space that calms you and you feel just as good about…trust me.

If one of these made you pause and think “ooo… this feels like us”

Save it. Send it to your person.

And if you want help finding a place that fits you perfectly… I’ve got you 🤍
