San Diego is widely known for its gorgeous white-sand beaches, year-round warm weather and various attractions for visitors of all ages. But what it’s also known for is its highly priced accommodations along the beach, which can often lead travelers elsewhere to enjoy their vacation time and money to the fullest.
However, there are a variety of bed-and-breakfast places that offer the same comfort, luxury and convenience of a high-end hotel, without a hefty price tag. Here are E-Z Rent-A-Car’s top choices for San Diego B&Bs:
1. Beach Hut Bed and Breakfast – Internationally recommended by TripAdvisor as a #1 B&B in San Diego, Beach Hut Bed and Breakfast offers a perfect place to lodge between La Jolla and downtown that’s not only comfortable and well-appointed, but affordable as well. In addition to personalized service, guests can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, on-site reserved parking, breakfast items stocked in each room’s “Good Morning Kitchen”, an LCD TV with premium HD channels, access to an on-site saline pool and much more.
2. Hillcrest House Bed & Breakfast – Locally and internationally recognized as San Diego’s top B&B by TripAdvisor, Yelp, San Diego Uptown News and more, Hillcrest House Bed & Breakfast offers everything needed for a great stay in San Diego, from free Wi-Fi and a healthy breakfast buffet served daily, to attentive service and a convenient location near the area’s top beaches, the airport, the cruise ship terminal, and more.
3. A Beach Bed & Breakfast at the Elsbree House Condo – For the true definition of a cozy B&B, A Beach Bed & Breakfast at the Elsbree House Condo is it. Guests can enjoy comfortable guest rooms, each complete with wired and wireless Internet access, board games, a fireplace, coffee and tea makers, and other convenient features. But beyond the quaint accommodations, the property includes on-site activities, like canoeing, bicycling, swimming, shopping and more, which is ideal for families and groups to experience together.
4. Crone’s Cobblestone Cottage Bed and Breakfast – A historic site originally built in 1913, the renovated Crone’s Cobblestone Cottage Bed and Breakfast is a hidden gem that’s a great alternative to a crowded hotel in bustling downtown San Diego. The owner takes an “off the beaten path” approach to these accommodations—which feature one-of-a-kind antiques, homemade breakfasts, and a serene atmosphere beneath lush trees and ferns—and will provide as much attention or privacy desired based on your service preferences.
5. Keating House – Deemed San Diego’s best B&B by Frommer’s, Keating House offers thoughtfully restored, Victorian-style accommodations in an ideal San Diego location. Guests can enjoy staying in one of the five beautifully appointed rooms—each with a dedicated theme—as well as amenities like complimentary Wi-Fi, a full breakfast, access to a soothing garden patio with a fountain, and eclectic furniture and decor throughout. Additionally, the hosts are gracious, kind and helpful in caring for guests’ every need.
