Sunny weather, miles of beaches and numerous surfing spots has made San Diego a very popular destination. Every summer, scores of tourists flock to the city. San Diego is California's second largest city and the United States' seventh largest. It has a citywide population of nearly 1.3 million residents and more than 2.8 million residents countywide. Within its borders of 4,200 sq. miles, San Diego County encompasses 18 incorporated cities and numerous other charming neighborhoods and communities, including downtown's historic Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, Coronado, La Jolla, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Escondido, La Mesa, Hillcrest, Barrio Logan, Chula Vista just to name a few.                                                                                                                         

 

San Diego rental homes have become very popular with tourists. Several apartment complexes and home owners, especially those located near the beach, rent out their homes to tourists during the summer. This brings in additional income for the family owners.                                                                                                                       

 

Apartment complexes are also cashing in on this phenomenon. Several apartment complexes offer short term rentals for the summer. These San Diego rents are for a month or two during the peak summer months. Some condominium owners are also into this vacation leasing.                                                                                                                 

 

The cost of San Diego rental homes depends on the location. Gaslamp Quarter is a prime choice for many renters. The San Diego rental homes available here are expensive, however, they offer renters the advantage of being in down town San Diego. It is also very close to many good restaurants, Balboa Park and the pier.                          

 

Several San Diego rental homes are also coming up in La Jolla, especially near the cove. The rental homes are an ideal choice for beach lovers and surfers. Many of these rental homes are just a few blocks away from the coastline, so surfers can catch the early waves. As parking is a premium along the coast, renting a home near the beach and walking to it is perfect.                                                                                                          

 

Torrey Pines and Del Mar are two other popular regions of the city. Many of the San Diego rental homes in these areas have a quaint European charm. Both these neighborhoods are near the coastline. In addition, Torey Pines has a State park, golf course and some wonderful hiking trails. Several nature enthusiasts choose these neighborhoods for their San Diego rental homes.                                                            

 

Of course, there are several San Diego rentals available inland. These are generally less expensive and are a perfect choice for students.
