What affordable beachfront hotels in or near San Diego should I consider? - Aerial Photography of Buildings Beside of Sea

I'm looking for a beachfront hotel in or near San Diego for my family (on the theory that the water there is warmer than say Los Angeles or certainly Pizmo Beach). I'm hoping to find a hotel near a beach suitable for beginner's surfing. And by "affordable", I'm hoping for $200/night or less. (Though I'll spend more if I'm convinced it's worthwhile or necessary.)

I've been to San Diego a couple of times and both times stayed in vacation rentals instead of hotels. This worked great for our family because it meant we had our own garden and felt very settled while we were there. We stayed somewhat north of the city in Del Mar and Encinitas. Both these areas were great. I'm not a surfer, but there's always lots of people surfing around those parts, so I don't think you'd have trouble getting some surfing in while there. While a lot of the houses will be more expensive than $200/night, I think you'll still find plenty of suitable options at that pricepoint.

Homeaway, VRBO or AirBnB all have a lot to choose from.
