Kid-friendly holiday rentals in El Cajon

I've made three trips to San Diego in the past year. I stayed in two different airbns; one being this one, one downtown, and one upscale hotel, 7th floor bayside downtown. This was my favorite spot by far. Even if your business or pleasure is downtown (we do Padres), the uber fares or car rental is worth it to stay out in El Cajon at this spot. It is immaculate, beautifully decorated, and so peaceful. The hill view, quiet, and night and morning sounds are great. Nice view of the city lights. Almost too many areas/seating spots in the house to decide where to have your coffee or your drink. Neighbors waved, hot tub maintenance knocked on the door to check in, etc. The only issue was uber/delivery having trouble finding the house because there is a road that was likely once open but is now private, so they go to the wrong spot. I loved it here.

This place literally felt like paradise. If you didn’t know you were in San Diego, you would feel like you’re in Hawaii! The backyard was so beautiful that we spent the majority of our time out there in the pool, hot tub, and tiki bar! The upstairs patio was fantastic for outdoor eating. The hosts were super communicative with any questions we had prior to and during our visit! We definitely can’t wait to stay again in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at Jack and Taylor’s! The space was clean and incredibly comfortable, and the overall ambiance of the home was cozy and relaxing. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to unwind.

Linda and Bill’s place was a wonderful surprise. It is tucked away in a peaceful nook of the well established La Mesa community. It is our second reservation here and we hope to be back. The owners are super friendly and responsive. Everything was like described, even better in real life ;) there are stairs to the unit, but this is clearly described in the listing.

This was one of the most amazing experiences we’ve had both my guest and myself. Nice quiet area & easy access to the property & grateful for the parking space Smitty offers!! Living area really spacious & comforting with the bedroom cool & quiet. Smitty made us feel welcomed after a long day traveling around & we appreciate it!!! Thank you again!!

My family had a great time this weekend in this beautiful home. We celebrated my son’s graduation here and everyone in my family absolutely enjoyed our time together here. It felt like home right away the first time we got there. We love the sense of seclusion feel that it brings and the spacious rooms was absolutely luxurious to us. We love the balcony and the furnitures, they are classy and comfortable at the same time. Overall this place was amazing! We would definitely come back here and recommend this home as a home away from home. Love it!!!

We loved this house, everything was perfect, no issues and the kids refused to leave! They still want to go back and live at the “house with the blue door”! Clean, tidy, comfortable pillows…definitely recommend booking this place!

Great place to stay! It was clean, quiet and a beautiful location. Judy was also an excellent and responsive host.

Thank you for letting us stay at your place Gustavo! We will be back for sure.

We had everything we needed. We appreciated having the kitchenette. Parking was easy. The space was just right for two of us and we were able to relax each day after sightseeing. I enjoyed reading one of the books Anna had stocked in the room. Anna was easy to get a hold of and gave us recs for sites and restaurants.

JP and Ana are responsive gracious hosts! Here for work travel and my place is exactly what I need. Close to north park, and quite at night to relax.

Staying at wade’s was amazing. I felt comfortable in the neighborhood and in the retreat as well! Quiet and peaceful, bed was so comfortable I slept like a rock. Would highly recommend staying at Wade’s retreats!

Great Place to Stay if you’re looking for something local to DT Tijuana or the Border area for Medical needs. Space was beautiful but didn’t look like the images so that changed our stay a bit based on what we were expecting. The building amenities were great totally worth it. The parking space was perfect, thank you for that. My mind was at peace knowing my Tesla was safe during my stay. Cleaners came at 11am on the Dot so be sure to be checked out on time. Would definitely stay again.

Very easy check-in, and incredibly communicative hosts! Would recommend this property to anyone looking for their own little oasis with easy accessibility to all of San Diego.

Julian’s place was wonderfully serene and tastefully decorated. We appreciated the quiet and efficient AC in the master bedroom as well as the soft sheets.

I always come back to this apartment because it makes me feel at home. It's my comfort place: clean, well located, with everything I need to be comfortable. It is clear that it is designed with love and detail. Highly recommended, especially if you are looking for tranquility and comfort in one place.

This place was amazing we loved it ! The only this the WiFi could be way better couldn’t connect and when I did just kicked me off :(

I loved the condo and it was a fun vibe to be in. Also the area had a quant aura that made the drives very pleasant. Thank you for your great service 💯

I’ve stayed in a lot of AirBnbs and this was the cleanest! What a lovely stay. The view is spectacular as well.

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

Excellent choice to stay. Very good location, excellent view from the balconies on the 22nd floor, very comfortable and cozy. Very friendly and helpful hosts. 100% recommended We will be back soon!

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!

Very good place. Will rebook!

This unit is quite lovely and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is a downstairs unit with a parking space. Super cute. Backyard patio is so peaceful and best enjoyed with a croissant, cup of coffee, and a book. BTW, great coffee in walking distance. Location, location, location. Great neighborhood in University Heights. Park and stores nearby. Not the big box ones, but the local owned restaurants and shops. We needed milk for coffee at 8 p.m. So we just walked down to the "liquor store" at the corner. Convenient, safe, and quick. If you want T**get or the mall (Fashion Valley), they are a 10-15 min drive away. They have everything you need for a comfortable stay, towels, soap, laundry, pots/pans, dishes, kcups/keurig, smart TV, etc. There were visitors upstairs that we could hear periodically, but they went to bed at a reasonable hour, so no problem there. Kevin and Tony were pleasant to work with and responded to a question within 5 min.
