Holiday rentals with a fireplace in El Cajon

Wow this place is amazing! As soon was we walked in, from the decor to the ambiance. You go from Spring Valley to being transported to a place of paradise. There is no place like this, I’m telling you guys. If you think the front yard is beautiful, wait till you go to the backyard. We felt so at home and the vibes are just incredible. Did I mention it was dog friendly?! We bring our dog everywhere and this was perfect. Salvacion is a super host for a reason. She’s responsive, very easy to communicate with, and her home is beautiful. I have family in the area, we’ll definitely be coming back and staying here. So glad we found this place!

Baker's place was very clean. The house felt cozy, and inviting. Everyone in our family enjoyed the house and the views. Baker, eventhough traveling internationally, still responded to my messages as if he were right next door. Baker and the hosts are extremely polite and answered all of our questions. We felt as if we had lived there for years. One can tell that they have placed enormous amount of time and energy in their project. I can truly appreciate their effort! Thank you again for making our family experience memorable!!

We stayed at Zeina and Mo's place for one week with our East Coast and West Coast children and grands--6 adults and 6 children in all from ages 2-12. We could not have been more pleased. The house was meticulously clean and was spacious enough for all. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to prepare meals at home. An added plus was an outdoor grill under a cabana like space with a table for 6 and outdoor counter to provide additional seating. The pool is larger than it appears in the pictures on the web site. The whole outdoor space was clean and welcoming and proved to be a center piece of our stay. There were plentiful and soft towels for bathing and the pool. Zeina and Mo were promptly responsive to any questions or concerns we had. We left with many fond memories of our week together, in large part due to to how comfortable and pleasant we felt about our stay was at Zeina and Mo's house.

Awesome place to stay. Our family of 6 had plenty of room and enjoyed the outdoor area with a beautiful pool and hot tub. Hosts responded immediately to any questions and were very helpful.

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

5 Stars – Beautiful, Peaceful Getaway Near Julian This Airbnb was a fantastic place to stay! We absolutely loved the little town of Julian — it’s a quaint mountain community with a welcoming atmosphere and unique local shops to explore. It’s about a 10-minute drive from the home to the heart of town, which makes it super convenient while still feeling tucked away. What made this stay so special was the perfect mix of seclusion and scenery. You’re far enough from the crowds to feel at peace, but close enough to enjoy everything Julian has to offer. The views from the home are absolutely stunning — you can see for miles across the valleys and mountains. It’s truly a reminder of God’s beauty in nature. The house itself was spacious, clean, and cozy — a perfect retreat for our 10-year anniversary getaway. If you’re looking to escape the hustle of big city life and unwind in a peaceful, scenic spot, this is the place to do it. Highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful stay at Serafima’s beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how stunning the space was — it looks exactly like the photos, if not better in person. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, and the home had such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Serafima was an exceptional host — incredibly responsive, kind, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. As a group of girls traveling together, we felt very safe and completely at ease the entire time. We truly loved our time here and would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting San Diego. It made our trip extra special, and we’d absolutely stay again!

My husband, adult children and 6 grandchildren (ages 1-12) booked this home for a family vacation. It felt like our own private mini resort! We truly did not want to leave because it was so relaxing and enjoyable! From the pool to pickle ball to family game and theater night we had plenty to do! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well supplied with equipment and even extras like olive oil, sugar, some spices…. This home had many thoughtful additions such as tissues throughout the house, napkins, toys, pool googles and toys, feminine supplies, hair ties, Q- tips, laundry soap…. It is the most well stocked Airbnb we have stayed in. The pool has a fence and a cover but can be entered via Master bedroom. There was a pool table, ping pong, dual mini basketball game, video arcade game, corn hole, plastic axe throw, ball throw and mini putting area. There was a play area with swings, a slide, mini rock climbing wall. It was unanimous that we all want to return!

Fantastic place to stay with a large group, and a great location! Cheap lyfts to the gas lamp and airport. Right by Balboa Park and walkable to several wonderful restaurants. The apartments were very clean and had all amenities we'd need. The hosts were very organized. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at Laura’s place! It was an awesome location! We loved the vibe and the at home feel. Everything we needed was provided. Beds were super comfortable, and the entire place was very clean. Having a parking space was also very convenient! Laura was really attentive to any questions, and I can tell that the comfort level of her guests matters to her. Would definitely stay here again!

This place was great, my family and I had an amazing trip and my kids thought it was magical to be able to walk to the beach. The neighborhood was peaceful and close to a lot of amenities. The apartment was very clean and well maintained. We loved our stay and will definitely be going back. 10 out of 10 will be recommending.

I really loved staying here. I would definitely stay here again. close to the beach and food place nearby. The only thing I wish they would change is the couches. They are not very comfortable for relaxing in after a long day. I loved the patio area I opened the door any enjoyed the weather. The only AC unit is in the living room but they do have fans in both rooms.

Very comfortable place and accessible to many places

Such a cute little spot to truly relax, was exactly as pictured.

Sure! Here’s a polished and friendly Airbnb review for your San Diego stay: ⸻ Review: I had a fantastic stay at Khwajas’s Airbnb in San Diego! The highlight was definitely the view absolutely stunning from both the room and the shared lounge area. Waking up to the city skyline and coastal colors was a dream, and the sunsets were unforgettable. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Whether I was enjoying a quiet morning coffee or relaxing in the evening, the view made it all feel special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful spot with a view that truly delivers! ⸻ Would you like to mention anything about the host, location, or amenities? I can tweak it to be more casual or detailed.

We had a great stay! It was close to the beach and easy to walk to restaurants and coffee shops. Bradley was very responsive and helpful!

This home was perfect for our intergenerational family gathering. There was space (and enough bathrooms) to accommodate all of us without being in each other's way but also being able to gather in our larger family group when needed. The location with views of the mountains was relaxing and reenergizing for the holiday with family members coming from all over. Although there were various spaces throughout the house, the kitchen area was a definite gathering space and accommodated well for people to be together and doing different things: cooking and preparing a meal, sitting and chatting, working on a laptop, reading in the family room not too far away. I appreciated the communication prior, throughout, and after our stay.

Our extended family enjoyed a wonderful stay at this beautiful, clean, and well-equipped AirBnb. The AirBnb is thoughtfully designed with lots of lux features. It is conveniently located close to activities around the area and had everything we needed to relax after a long day of sightseeing. The family enjoyed the pool, sauna, gym, and spacious kitchen and living areas — something for everyone! It was super helpful to have access to a washer and dryer and we noticed there were high chairs, a pack and play, and a stroller for those with younger kids. We highly recommend!

Beautiful property and surroundings. Loved all of the plants and fruit trees around the property! The pool and hot tub were well kept and we had a blast! We were a big group, I loved how many lounge areas this property had. We never felt cramped or like we didn’t have space/chairs for everyone. Beds were super comfortable - way more comfortable than you usually expect at a rental. The host was super responsive and it seemed like they had thought of everything!

The house was perfect to have family over to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from UCSD. The house is beautiful and very well equipped to accommodate a large group. Thank you!

This home exceeded all my expectations! Everything was perfect for a group - from plentiful towels and outlets, lots of seating, VERY clean and super cozy! - This house is so beautifully decorated, and the backyard is amazing! Just the perfect place to be with family and friends. Sebastien provided very detailed and clear instructions, was very responsive and friendly. I will definitely come back for my future family stays!

Liam and Mia were lovely! They were very communicative and responsive to all my inquiries before and during our stay. The place was immaculate and everything exceeded our expectations. There were also plenty of extra towels and comforters, which was a big plus for our group of 10. Definitely recommend!

This was a beautiful place overlooking the airport and water! It was really cool to watch airplanes take off and land from the living room. The host was super nice and very responsive. I’d definitely come back here :)

This place was great!! Had a bachelor party with 12 dudes and everyone had a bed or cot to sleep on. Pool and hot tub were perfect and the landscaping was well done. The property in general felt pretty remote as well, which helps with privacy. Overall we were happy with the place and would recommend
