“There's not much to say — this was my 6th trip to Nick's place and it was as great as the first. You really can't beat it. Always exceptional service and attention to detail. 10/10.”
“Everything was lovely. It feels like you're inside the ocean if you stand in the kitchen. Best people watching ever with all the surfers, dogs, and interesting cars rolling through. We loved it!”
“My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The location is perfect — right in front of the beach and within walking distance of many restaurants. Nick & Amy were very responsive and checked in to make sure everything was going well. We'll definitely be coming back!”
“We enjoyed our stay at Nick and Amy's beach home. Great location, with a great view and very walkable to nearby restaurants. The condo was comfortable, and we had everything we needed. Nick was very kind and attentive.”

Every booking made more than 72 hours before check-in includes a 24-hour grace period to cancel for a full refund — no questions asked. After that, the cancellation policy varies by home and by booking channel; your specific terms are shown on the listing page and at checkout, so please review them before confirming. We stick to the stated policy on each booking, so if your plans are uncertain, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance — it's the best way to protect your trip against the unexpected.
Most of our homes are not pet-friendly, but a few welcome pets — check the listing when searching. Trained service animals are welcome at every property, as required by law. At our California homes, we also welcome emotional support animals.
Standard check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out is 10:00 AM, though a few homes use a 4:00 PM / 11:00 AM schedule — your listing and confirmation email will show the exact times for your stay. Check-in is contactless via smart lock, and your access code is sent by text about 24 hours before arrival. The code activates at your scheduled check-in time. Need to arrive early or stay later? Early check-in and late check-out are sometimes available for an additional fee — just ask and we'll let you know if your home and date allow it.
The fastest way to reach us is by messaging through the app or platform you booked on — Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, or directly through openroadstays.com. We're a small local team based right here in San Diego — not a call center — and your messages come straight to us.
We handle everything — marketing, guests, maintenance, and more — so you earn more and stress less. No long-term contracts. Risk-free guarantee included.
