Family-friendly upscale oceanfront escape newly reno’d – we’re talkin’ decor, flooring, lighting – the works.

A 10-min flip-flop to the Pacific. You’re also pretty darn convenient to to-dos like Legoland and the Museum of Making Music.

Sophisticated and sleek but still soft and comfy.

Scope out the beach from the heated pool, then explore it up close (it’s only a few steps away).

Choose a lounge chair under a swaying palm on the pool deck with a view of some gentle Pacific waves.

Polynesian-inspired character flows throughout, from comfy guestrooms to the friendly parrots (give our regards to Chadwick).

Landmark 1908 mansion (+ annex), as in-the-heart as it gets. Just a block from the beach, shops and dining options galore.

Palmy pool with lounge-inducing cabanas. Relaxation definitely required.

Modernized old-timey building. Transportation pioneers The Pickwick Company built this beaut.

The location on a private island feels like a tropical escape, but it's just minutes from downtown.

Full bar and comfortable rooms help take the travel edge off.

Pet-friendly indie stay

A landmark hotel built in 1913, architectural highlights include sculpted marble, hand-cut mosaic tiles and brass embellishments.

In the heart of the happenin’ Gaslamp Quarter, though with 6 restaurants & bars right onsite, you never really have to leave (until check-out, of course).

In the thick of PB’s laid-back but action-packed scene.

Secluded and spacious, with 10 acres of lush grounds and Spanish mission-style architecture.

Remarkable spot on its own peninsula jutting out into Mission Bay, gorgeous views greet you in every direction.

First stop: classy-cool palm-lined outdoor terrace, complete with sleek stone fireplace, year-round pool, hot tub and on Sundays, liiiive jaaaazzzz.

Not one, but two outdoor pools and a hot tub help you make the most of the San Diego sun.

Grand white building is a beaut in the midst of already-lovely downtown La Jolla.

Modern interiors are predominantly grays and blacks, with blues, purples and yellows adding a punch of vibrance here and there.

With firm and soft pillows, a good night’s sleep is all but guaranteed. (Needs an official seal or something.)

On its own private peninsula, just a 10 minute drive to charming downtown Coronado.

Fancy a dip? Pop into the hotel pool.

This new boutique lifestyle hotel offers an elegant blend of historic appeal and contemporary style

Zip around on a complimentary bike or run the miles of bayfront paths before resting up with a cocktail by the pool. It's just that easy.

Just off I-805, downtown, SeaWorld, La Jolla Beach and the zoo are all within a 20-min drive.

Sweet Mission Bay location puts you close to the harbor, with a courtesy shuttle for zipping you to/from the airport.

Perched right on the world-renowned oceanfront Torrey Pines Golf Course. So the views are not. Too. Shabby.

Located right off I-5, putting you just a short drive away from all the action downtown.

If you’re in Pacific Beach you wanna be by the water. How’s a half-block sound?
