Holiday rentals with a fire pit 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.

if you're looking for a quiet neighborhood somewhere to spend with your family perfect place me and my grandchildren play darts ping pong cornhole board games and watch movies we were definitely entertained I will definitely keep it in mind for next time thank you John

The host welcomed us with a sign, I enjoyed the night there. I’m a small petite person so I slept on the coach and it’s so comfortable. I recommend for anyone who doesn’t mind a small setting. My siblings and I felt safe and secured during our stay! I recommend!

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!

We were in San Diego for medical appointments for my wife, and this was a peaceful oasis. Very clean and quiet. Great value for the price.

Grant: the house was fabulous! My only regret is that we couldn’t have shared it with others! It was the perfect party house. If we’re ever in San Diego again we’re going to see if this house is available. I’d like to share it with family & friends. And I’d like to explore San Diego further. Nate finished in the top 1% of over 17,000 runners in the Rock & Roll half marathon and it was a blessing that he could come back and chill after the race at such a lovely space! Thanks for being so responsive. You were a perfect host!! Judge Mary

We live in the area and originally booked for 30-days while our home was being renovated. Renovations took a bit longer then expected and we extended to 5-weeks. Hosts were very accommodating to our changing dates. Home was perfect for our stay. Couldn't of asked for a better place for our home away from home!

We certainly enjoyed our week here with family gathering for college a graduation in this cute and roomy home… an amazing backyard for our barbecuing with plenty of seating and huge yard for play. Drinking our morning coffee there with so many birds singing surrounded by flowering shrubs was lovely. The house has a/c and a few fans that we appreciated for cooling our evenings inside, the beds were a little too hard for us, however. We appreciated all the TV channels and ability to watch some shows and sports… And Maggie was a wonderful and friendly host, greeting us initially and showing us around her place.

Overall, the it was great! The location is fantastic, especially if you have little ones it’s close to the lagoon side which felt safer for our active toddler

Place was very nice and worked well for us. Definitely keeping in mind for future visits.

Very clean and perfect location for our event. Luis was very accommodating and communicated well.

Loved the patio overlooking the bay!! Location was walkable to restaurants, bars and grocery.

For my first time using AirBNB this was an excellent way to start! Checked in and Tamara was great! Answered any questions and checked in regularly to make sure everything was going smoothly! Thank you so much Tamara for the amazing experience with your service!

We were a group of four and we really enjoyed our stay at Richard's place. It's very well equipped, so you feel right at home with everything you need to make your stay as accommodating as possible. Instructions were clear and precise, from the host's communications to the labels in the light switches that don't require any guesswork. Decoration is uplifting and perfectly suits the ambiance to make you feel both welcome and cozy. You can see the attention to details everywhere, from the available spices if you want to cook, the electric bottle opener, the board games and all the rest of the gear and even the foam protections in the kitchen's countertop corners. All of those things make for a comforting and easy stay at the place.

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

We had a lovely Memorial Day weekend at Richard's place!! Very cute cottage that was clean, bright, and had all the amenities. We loved that he included a wagon, beach chairs, umbrella, and beach toys for us to use. The beach was an easy few blocks away and took about 10 to 15 minutes to get to. Restaurants are within walking distance too. There were also plenty of bikes and helmets available to use and my family was able to enjoy a lovely ride in the neighborhood. Richard was very responsive, helpful, and kind. We enjoyed ourselves and look forward to going 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!

My husband, son and I needed a place to stay in Ramona while attending a wedding nearby. This was by far the best place I found and I was so hapy it was available. It's a huge ranch with lots of farm animals. We loved it. The house was clean and well appointed; beds were comfortable, and the porch for morning coffee was the best. This is only a 22-minute drive to Julian, and 5-6 miles from the town of Ramona. A++ -- 10 out of 10.

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.

Colleen's place was clean and peaceful. My husband and I loved the patio out back. She was super responsive and kind, we'll come back soon!

Words cannot describe the serenity that comes from sitting on the back porch. It is so incredibly beautiful. This place is amazing. The birds, the wild turkeys, the deer… just amazing. The house was quaint and cozy and well appointed. Would absolutely come back!

The cabin was INCREDIBLE! Really appreciated the top not appliances as well as the incredible attention to detail in keeping the house an amazing rental property. Also appreciated how quickly the host responded to a few asks of mine, makes the difference!

Friends were in Potrero and I wasn't in the mood to rough it. So I looked on AirBNB and this was the best fit for my needs. 6 minutes from my friends. Great amenities and a restful night's sleep. Looking forward to returning to this hidden gem.
