Kid-friendly holiday rentals in East County, San Diego

The most beautiful Airbnb! The location was amazing, it was very secluded. The hosts make you feel right at home.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible stay at Mariposa Farm. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed and at ease in your peaceful retreat. The tranquility of the surroundings, the spacious accommodations, and your warm hospitality made our family getaway absolutely unforgettable. Your thoughtful touches—from the fresh eggs to the delightful local baked goods—made every morning feel extra special. It’s clear that you put so much care into making your guests feel at home, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. Thank you for your kindness and attentiveness. We hope to return soon to relive the magic of Mariposas Farm. Until then, we’ll be cherishing the wonderful memories of our stay! Best wishes, Chavez Family P.S. We will truly miss feeding the goats and chickens in the morning—it was such a joy!

Totally loved this Airbnb! A great house in a great area, would recommend for any couple trying to spend quality time in San Diego. Steve was a great host.

This place was an absolute gem! Beautiful scenery, incredibly beautiful house and immaculately cleaned. We instantly felt at home, and enjoyed walking around the area. We have stayed in numerous areas outside of SD and this was our favorite so far.

Matt was an exceptional host with outstanding communication. He provided all the necessary details for a seamless check-in, comfortable stay, and easy check-out. Perched above neighboring homes, Matt’s property offers breathtaking views, with stunning sunrises and sunsets. The home is tastefully decorated, cozy, and inviting. We loved relaxing in the jacuzzi while watching the sunset—a must-do during your stay! Conveniently located, the Airbnb is just a short distance from downtown Julian’s shops, restaurants, and attractions. Overall, this is a fantastic choice for anyone visiting Julian! Highly recommend.

So private and awesome! We will be back! Lisa was incredibly responsive with recommendations and answering questions. If you need a weekend getaway with awesome night views and cute wildlife in the morning this is your place.

Diana is kind and a good communicator. I appreciated the thorough directions on how to find the place/get inside. I also liked the quiet neighborhood. The place was as described! Thank you!

Loved this cute and cozy little place. Bed was very comfortable nice neighborhood and very pet friendly

Prime location, great amenities, place looks exactly like the photos, very very clean.. I have no qualms! Anna is very prompt with her instructions and responds quickly if needed. She goes above and beyond to satisfy and cater to her guests. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need for a short term stay-- all complimentary, as well. The check in and check out process was extremely easy and smooth. My only complaint (which is a personal preference and why I won't dock anything from her rating but figured it would be helpful for those who are light sleepers like me) is that the overhead window that is over the bed does not have any curtains. It makes sleeping soundly for light-sensitive sleepers like me a bit difficult! This was easily fixable by bringing my travel black out curtain. Just a friendly heads up for those alike. I will be on the lookout for her listing any time I'm back in SD!

Christopher’s place was clean, comfy, and cozy. The neighborhood was quiet so we were able to rest well. We needed something close to the Naval base and it is what we needed. 10 out of 10 would stay again, 10 out of 10 would recommend.

You will love this spot! It's cozy, clean and an amazing springboard for exploring San Diego! It's located around the block from Balboa Park and the Zoo with great restaurants nearby. One of the biggest winning points is how centrally located you will be and your 15 minutes from the airport, beaches and Petco Park. About the space itself - bright, sunny and comfortable, with a comfortable queen bed, full kitchen and spotless/ clean bathroom. Lastly, the host - Steven, was incredible helpful via local tips for food and activities. Well worth your time for a great experience. Enjoy your stay!

Great place and near everything

A wonderful place to stay in Tecate! This place is consistently clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, perfect for a short visit or an extended stay. The host is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes all the difference. It's my go-to spot every time I visit Tecate!🥰

Great Spot! Very conveniently located and easy to find. Would definitely stay again

very nice place, welcoming environment, quiet and very beautifully decorated

The place was really nice! The only struggle for myself was finding it but I was sent instructions with pictures before hand so that was helpful. The parking is a little stressful as it’s very steep so be wary of this if your car is on the older side. Overall, I would stay here again (: super cozy and clean.

Very nice place, everything very tidy and clean, a very quiet area and the host was very attentive.

Perfect spot for first trip to San Diego and close to family! Would stay again in a heart beat!!!:):)

nice place, Beautiful view. I will definitely back again.

I had a great time staying at Thelma De La Paz’s place! The space was cozy, very clean, and exactly what I needed for a comfortable stay. Thelma was a wonderful host - polite, welcoming, and super responsive to any questions I had. Highly recommend!

The place is very at ease and very quiet. The carport leaves you a lot of peace of mind and in case the place since you have your privacy. It is very nice and comfortable. You feel at home

Great place for a relaxing gateway. Host very attentive and great price.

Our stay at Tony’s place was too short! It’s a great place with everything we needed AND walkable to so much in the super cool neighborhood. We loved that coffee and laundry supplies were provided. Anything else we may have needed was available just a short walk away. We didn’t have the opportunity to cook but it appeared as though everything needed was there. Plenty of towels and other supplies on hand too. A designated parking spot was another bonus. We loved all of the windows and being able to open them and feel the cool breeze.

Great host and sent all the details that made my first time using Airbnb a breeze! She also surprised me with a happy birthday balloon sign when I walked in and honestly those little touches go a very long way for me. Thank you Alma.! Highly recommend this place my kid and husband loved it as well.
