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.

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!

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.

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

The house is so beautiful, felt super Comfortable and at home! Host always responded to small questions, and was provided with everything you need for the stay!

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.

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!🥰

a very comfortable and easy to reach place

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

Perfect place to stay. The apartment was beautiful, the queen size bed was very comfortable. I needed some help opening the couch bed and Danny took care of it as soon as I asked. Everything looked clean and smelled clean too. We had plenty of bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths. The kitchen was totally stocked with everything needed to cook a meal or eat carryout. There was cold water in the fridge waiting for us. An unexpected delight were the fresh flowers on the kitchen table, bedroom, and by the bathroom sink. We only had one inconvenience, the push button lock wouldn't lock. Rosina & Danny gave us a key to come & go with. The landscaping was meticulously kept up. Lush cactus, passion flower, & different succulents made the garden gorgeous. This made us feel like it was our own little piece of paradise. Rosina and Danny were SUPER hosts. I can not say enough good things about them!

Stood at Julian’s place with my partner and our two children. It was perfect for the four of us. The ac units in the living room and master bedroom work extremely well. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the amenities you would need during your stay. We didn’t get to use the patio but it’s very large and peaceful. The outdoor lights look nice at night, too. Access to the property with the enclosed gate is easy to access. I reached out to Julian as there was a misunderstanding regarding the streaming services — I thought an account was already logged in but he confirmed that we would need to log in to our own accounts, which we did and didn’t take too long. Just keep this in mind in case you don’t have any of the listed streaming services. :) Overall, it was a great stay and we wouldn’t mind returning again in the future.

Loved our stay in South Park! Was a new area for us, but we felt right at home. We had everything we needed in this well appointed studio. Chris and Todd were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. This was in a beautiful neighborhood, very walkable to the shops, cafés and restaurants in South Park. We would absolutely stay here again.

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!!!:):)

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!

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.

Loved staying here. 2nd floor has a nice breeze and all amenities needed in a home. Onsite parking provided, AC Unit, and all necessary utensils/equipment for cooking. Tony actually reached out to us an hour after our stay to let us know we left some important documents at his home. Thankfully he was communicative and responsive as we were able to retrieve them quickly and efficiently. We heard the below tenants a few times but nothing out of the ordinary. Would happily stay here again.

The place was stunning. The location was just far enough for some peace and quiet but also close enough to enjoy the town! Private pool and beach was a perk too. The condo was as the pictures show but even more amazing in person. The balcony view never disappointed. Alma was a great host, responding to all our inquiries in a timely manner and was helpful on some local suggestions. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
