Family-friendly holiday rentals in El Cajon

We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

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!

Great location and the house had everything we needed. beautiful home, nice decoration and really nice view from the jacuzzi.

My Husband & I stayed to celebrate our 6 years. The cottage was absolutely perfect for a couple. It looked exactly like the photos, and provided the perfect cozy ambience. The space was very clean, and smelled great. They even played music for our arrival. We enjoyed the hot tub and the amazing view of the night sky. The town is just a short drive away, and has some great places to eat and amazing pie. We can’t wait to visit again soon!

The VIEWS!!! Absolutely breathtaking. We could’ve spent the entire trip just soaking in that ocean view—it was seriously next-level. From sunrise to sunset, it was pure magic. We absolutely loved Kate’s place and Kate herself! She was the best host we’ve ever had. The property was beautiful, peaceful, and had such a fun, quirky charm that made it feel like a hidden gem. The bed was insanely comfortable, the robes were perfectly cozy, and the coffee? Delicious. The art supplies and hot tub facing the ocean were truly to die for—I didn’t even want to leave to explore San Diego because I was so content right there. We slept with the back door open to hear the waves crash all night long and let the ocean breeze in. The neighborhood felt super safe and had such a great vibe. We already know we’ll be back to see Kate every year. No doubt about it.

Amazing stay and very well decorated unit with beautiful view. The place feels very cozy and homey and it has everything that you need. Will definitely stay there again

Had a great time, beautiful setting and so serene! Love the backyard setup and high ceilings. Great hosts too, 5 stars!

The house was exactly as advertised. Clean, comfortable and welcoming. In a great neighborhood - very walkable with a variety of restaurants and cafes. Perfect home away from home for a week spent working and visiting family in San Diego.

I really enjoyed staying here. It's on a canyon, which provided a great view and a nice breeze and was very quiet. We had our little dog with us and he loved being able to explore the yard. It's a great location in La Jolla / North PB. It's at the top of my list for my next trip to San Diego.

Anthony’s apartment was just what I needed for my adult son and me. 2 twin beds in the living room worked well as another bedroom without the cost of a 2 bedroom. The kitchen is small but had all we needed to make bfast in the mornings. Helpful to have a parking spot in back and washer dryer in unit. I really enjoyed the location next to an urban park, pretty neighborhood for walks, and short walk to restaurants and coffee shop. Anthony was super helpful when we arrived.

David is exactly what the reviews said about his responsiveness. My family and I can say this was our best experience ever in San Diego. We felt at home and this experience made it easy for my wife and I to conclude that when traveling with our young kids, we would be better off reserving an airbnb with a great host like David. Thank you once again for your hospitality, David.

Vivian and John‘s cottage was a perfect place for a three day stay. Very peaceful and calm with beautiful surroundings and close to everything I needed to get to. I would love to come back at some point.

Rebecca’s was very accommodating to a last minute booking and was a generous host to my self, my partner, a rambunctious boy and two dogs. It was overall a pleasant stay. Thanks again!

I had a great stay at this apartment in San Diego near the bay. The location was perfect — it was easy to get around both by car and on foot, with lots of places to explore nearby. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was friendly, responsive, and made everything super smooth. I would definitely stay here again!

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

Michelle and Robyn’s place was such a wonderful place to stay and experience, my husband wanted me to note that he wishes we can give 5 billion stars for the bed alone, the entire place was well maintained clean and so comfortable. This place was very conveniently located near downtown San Diego, Coronado island, La Jolla coves, Petco Park, Balboa Park, little Italy and the marina. The home was quiet and very private with amenities that were useful. We were so pleased with our stay and would love to visit again, if you are unsure and reading reviews please take this as your sign to book here! :)

Great place if you are looking for a beach setting. Clean linens and towels, clean room. Kitchen has nice plates, glasses, utensils, etc.

Very pleased with our staying there. Place was really clean and comfortable I like how secure it was I would definitely stay there again 💜

Our stay in San Diego was truly unforgettable, and I owe so much of that to our incredible host. From the start, she was kind and flexible—working with us to adjust our booking after unexpected rain changed our plans. When we finally arrived, she went above and beyond for my daughter’s belated birthday celebration. She surprised us with beautiful decorations and even gave my daughter the sweetest birthday gift. It honestly touched my heart to see how thoughtful she was. The space was cozy, clean, and filled with good energy—perfect for making memories during a weekend that meant so much to us. If you’re thinking of booking, don’t hesitate. You’ll be in great hands with a host who truly cares. Thank you again for everything!

Our recent stay at Michelle’s Airbnb in Leucadia, California, was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Michelle has thought of every detail to make her guests feel at home. The property is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, and impeccably maintained, creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere that rivaled the coziness of our own home. The kitchen was a standout feature, fully stocked with everything needed to whip up almost any meal. From cookware to an impressive array of spices, we had all the tools to enjoy home-cooked dinners, which made our stay even more special. It’s rare to find such a well-equipped kitchen in a vacation rental! The location is perfect for soaking in the local culture. Right on the beach, we loved taking daily walks to explore the vibrant Leucadia community. The highlight, though, was watching the sunset every evening from the living room or deck—pure magic! The views were breathtaking and made every night feel

Great place! Modern simple, deep tub, steam shower, comfy beds and pillows, peaceful environment. Wall-to-wall window doors look out into palm trees, chirping birds, lots of natural light. Note-there’s 2 entrances to underground parking of this. Parking entrance is LEFT side of building down the hill. Great to have dedicated indoor parking! Lovely stay

The apartment is, well appointed, spacious & complete with everything you could want. The gardens are beyond beautiful, with lots of interesting trees and shrubbery and even a walking trail around the whole property. The pool is lovely and child safe. We felt very safe, there was an entry code for the front gate and another for our unit. The whole house is located in a beautiful, upscale area.

Not only was this home a dream to stay in, we couldn’t have had a better host. Carrie was all the things you want a great host to be, helpful and kind and responsive, but above all that, she was compassionate, understanding, and empathetic to a mom (myself) traveling with small children and all the stress and chaos that comes with it. I couldn’t have asked for a better host. The space was gorgeous and perfectly relaxing, with so many fun things for the kids to do. We will absolutely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The location was stunning, with ocean views and the soothing sound of the waves—it was the perfect place to relax after a day out. There were several great restaurants within walking distance, and we loved being able to grab snacks from the nearby Oxxo, just a short 5-minute walk away. The host was very accommodating, allowing us an early check-in, which we really appreciated. Security at the front was helpful and friendly—they assigned us a parking space and made it easy to find the building. We did experience a couple of minor issues: the shower wasn’t draining properly, and on the third day, the door wouldn't lock. The host responded quickly to our messages, but unfortunately, no one showed up after we waited about an hour. However, the issue was resolved while we were out, so everything was fine when we returned. Despite those small hiccups, we had a lovely time and would definitely consider staying here again.
