Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Casa de Oro-Mount Helix

John was a great host! He was a very courteous and proactive communicator and provided an accurate description so when we arrived we felt welcome immediately. The home is in a great location which made experiencing San Diego a breeze!

I really enjoyed my time spent there. Not only the scenery was nice, but it was also quiet and peaceful. I also especially appreciated Jeffery’s hospitality and kindness and I would definitely recommend going back!

My wife and I recently stayed here for a few nights and absolutely loved it — the home, the area, and the amenities all exceeded our expectations. The hot tub alone, set in such a beautiful and peaceful location, makes this a 5-star stay. The home itself is thoughtfully designed and incredibly comfortable. The views are stunning, and with the French doors and windows open, the natural cross breeze was so pleasant we never needed the excellent AC system (though it’s there if you do). The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water — a small detail, but much appreciated. Julian is a charming historic mining town, and we had a great time exploring the local attractions and shops. Our host was fantastic — kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. If you’re planning a trip to Julian or the surrounding area, don’t hesitate — this home is a perfect base and a true gem.

Awesome place to stay. Our family of 6 had plenty of room and enjoyed the outdoor area with a beautiful pool and hot tub. Hosts responded immediately to any questions and were very helpful.

It is a great house and we enjoyed a delightful stay at SD. Brittany is helpful and always reply our questions on time. We will come again if possible.

Beautiful and quiet area. Our kids were made busy with the toys that were available; they loved it. The backyard view was impressive. The house was plenty big for our family of 6.

Sally's place was great. Clean and cozy. Very comfortable beds and pillows. We felt right at home. We look forward to staying again.

We had a wonderful stay at Myrna’s place! She was very responsive and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. The home was clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited for our family of seven for the week. It had everything we needed and felt like a home away from home. The location was also super convenient for everything we wanted to do in the area. We’d definitely stay here again—highly recommended!

Tamaras listing was exactly like her pictures for a first timer In san diego the location was so beautiful and peaceful right off the beach exactly what I needed for a mini vacation I loved that it had its own little cozy balcony, and rooftop grill/ fire pit overlooking the view of imperial Beach there was so much to do in walking distance you couldn't beat the price for this place would definitely recommend and the host was very helpful and accommodating to any questions we had no matter the time if day thank you for making my stay worth it !

This apartment was great! What you see is what you get. It’s a very beautiful apartment when an outside patio with plants all around. I recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in Tecate.

Amazing place, it’s a great place for a couple. Restaurants are at a walking distance. Lauren was really helpful throughout the whole stay with any questions we had. Will definitely book again when we visit in the future.

The location is perfect for sightseeing in San Diego, many of the locations are within walking distance or a few minutes by car. Vivian is a very good host, she was always attentive and responded quickly. The only issue we had was that we hardly had any hot water.

Loved staying at Lauren’s place. Upon entry, the space leading up to the apts front door was tighter than we expected - it was one unit of a few in a tight backyard. That said, the inside looked exactly as photos, spotlessly clean, the location was great, and it felt private. Lauren was very responsive and friendly, sharing local restaurant recommendation if desired. I would stay here again as it gave us a quiet homebase to relax with easy access to great food as we explored San Diego.

The location was close to downtown, easily walkable. The space was adorable, loved the decor. All linens and towels were fresh and clean and the kitchen was well -appointed. The outdoor patio Is very nice but the weather was a little too cool for us to use. Hosts are very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

Had a really nice time beautiful room very clean and host was there to welcome and make sure we had everything we needed.

best place stay will be back

This place is so cool. It felt like very remote but still accessible. We loved the decor and grounds. The place is stocked with everything you need. The host was very responsive. We had some trouble with the pool and not clearly understanding the directions or limitations with regard to heating but we were able to work with the host to get things figured out. Overall great stay, especially for large groups and kids. We would return and highly recommend.

This is one of those true gems you’re absolutely stoked to stumble upon. The minute we drove down the country lane and saw the house, my wife and I knew we had found a truly magical getaway. We both agree it’s one of the top three homes/properties we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing! Every square inch of the property is amazing. The house is beautiful. The kitchen is stocked and perfect for those who enjoy cooking. We cooked three of the four nights because we just loved the atmosphere and views so much! Our four year old absolutely loved exploring the trails, pond and backyard. The hot tub was in perfect condition. Rare! The awesome fire-pit on the balcony was perfect for making smores and staying warm while listening to the frogs sing while stargazing. We played games, watched movies and just had a perfect long weekend. The worst part was having to say goodbye! It was so peaceful, it’s going to be hard to beat such a good nights rest. Another week would have been nice!

Amazing place to stay with our family. So much to do on the ranch that we didn’t even have to leave to find something to do. It felt like a home away from home and being surrounded by animals was an animal lovers dream. My teenage nephews who are always on their phones even loved it here. Nick the dog was the sweetest and walked us and our guests to the front door and showed us around the ranch. Chancelor was an amazing host and provided us with so many recommendations and offered a tour of the ranch. We definitely have to come back to take him up on his offer so we can learn more. My family and I are thinking of making this an annual trip!

An unforgettable stay — highly recommend! We had such a wonderful experience staying at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was sparkling clean, beautifully decorated, and felt cozy yet spacious. Every detail—from the comfortable bedding and well-stocked kitchen to the thoughtful touches like fresh towels, coffee, and made us feel completely at home. The location was perfect—peaceful and private, breathtaking mountain view from the pool. We especially how quiet the neighborhood was. Our host Posh was incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful, making check-in and communication smooth and stress-free. It’s clear they truly care about their guests’ comfort and experience. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it whole.

This place is amazing. I slept so well since the location is quiet and secluded. Colleen is quick to respond and super kind. The design of the cabin itself is pretty as well. I would 100% stay here again.

I absolutely fell in love with the historical charm of this cabin! It’s such a delightful spot, filled with an amazing atmosphere that makes it a perfect getaway. One minor hiccup during our trip from Arizona back to San Diego was the lack of cell signal, which made checking in a bit challenging. However, that small inconvenience couldn’t dampen our spirits! The vintage bathtub added such a lovely touch to our stay, and I appreciated the old-fashioned heating system that kept us cozy when the night air turned chilly. The porch was a gem as well! Nestled in nature and featuring comfy seating, it was the ideal spot to unwind. While the area doesn’t allow for outdoor lights, having a flashlight handy is a great idea if you’re arriving after sunset. The location is perfect for a leisurely stroll, and we enjoyed the fascinating history shared. Overall, we are truly grateful for the opportunity to experience this. Another bonus is that Julian is just down the street!

This place is exactly what you see. You have all the privacy you need, but you're not too far away from the market. Finding the place, getting inside and the amount of things that you can do at the home, makes it worth the stay. The house was spotless, and everything in the house works. No surprises.

My family and I had such a wonderful time staying here during memorable day weekend. There was something for all of us to do. We fished at lake every day, a big plus for my husband as it was just a few short minutes away from the front door, to the quality time we had inside the house playing pool, to the top tier coffee machine that allowed me cozy mornings on the patio listening to the birds with my husband, to the smores we made outside at the fire pit while gazing at the stars. The house is so beautiful and inviting, curated with such an eye for detail and warmth. We truly cannot thank you enough for sharing your home with us and we cannot wait to visit again soon one day.
