Looking for the best Rosarito beach house rentals?
You’re in the right place as I’ve called Mexico home since 2018, and I’ve stayed in 50+ Airbnbs all over the country.
Rosarito is a laid-back beach town on Baja California’s Pacific coast, under an hour’s drive from San Diego, with surf breaks and Puerto Nuevo’s famous lobster nearby — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.
👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s BeachPleaseBaja, a hillside hacienda with a heated infinity plunge pool — check it out here.
The tricky part is that the best beach houses sit in gated communities up and down the coast, each with its own beach, rules and guest limits. That’s where I come in!
I’ve hand-picked a list of beach houses, all with nearly-5 star ratings, lots of glowing reviews, and Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
