When is the best time to go to Rancho Del Rey?

The best time to go to Rancho Del Rey for optimal weather and outdoor activities is generally from late spring (May) through early autumn (October). During these months, you'll experience warm, sunny days with minimal rainfall, which is superb for enjoying the area's beaches, hiking trails, and outdoor dining. The ocean temperatures are also at their most pleasant for swimming and water sports. For those looking to avoid the peak summer crowds and potentially higher prices, May, early June, September, and October are excellent choices. The weather remains very agreeable, but the popular attractions and restaurants are typically less busy.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Rancho del Rey hotel for you.

Top Rancho del Rey Hotel Reviews

Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great place. Good vibe Great family friendly. Will be back."

Wyndham Garden San Diego Near SeaWorld

10/10 Excellent

"7/19/26 We only stayed 1 night, but overall, we'd stay there again. Rooms and property were as clean as they should be. Staff were amicable. Plenty of dining options within walking distance, or a very short drive. There is a Panera onsite. Pool looked clean. The only issue we ran into was that the 2 ice makers, nearest to our room, were out of order, but it wasn't a make or break for us."
