Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in El Cajon

Great spot very homey and plenty of places to grub on nearby and San Diego is less than 15 minutes away. Fabian is quick to respond and will help you with any questions you need answered.

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.

Our home away from home. The property was conveniently located to major stores. It is 30 minutes to the San Diego Zoo, Birch Aquarium, and Sesame Street. The house is very spacious and brings in light energy. Our family loved the beds and comfy pillows which can make or break a vacation. The bathrooms were spacious and worked conveniently with the needs of our family, especially the Bluetooth speaker😁. The backyard was our favorite! Beautiful space during the day with plenty of space for our 3 year old to run. Serene and chill views in the evening. We 100% recommend this property for your family. And would definitely stay again.

So private and awesome! We will be back! Lisa was incredibly responsive with recommendations and answering questions. If you need a weekend getaway with awesome night views and cute wildlife in the morning this is your place.

The house was great, very spacious, and the beds were really comfortable! Everything in the description coincided with the services and amenities provided!

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

One of our absolute best Airbnb experiences to date! Elyce is a warm, gracious host who made us feel truly welcome. Her home is spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need—from a well-stocked kitchen to a perfect grilling setup. The highlight? An unforgettable chance to feed the horses and play with the adorable foals—a truly magical and unique touch that made the stay extra special.

Aaron’s place is now one of my all-time favorite Airbnb homes to stay in. My husband, 13-year-old son and I spent 4 glorious nights here during a trip to San Diego and it was perfect—spacious, clean, and no more than a 20-minute drive from all of the local attractions. The views were to die for and our son thoroughly enjoyed the pool (with diving board!). Next time we’re in the San Diego area, we’ll definitely come back.

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!

This was our second time staying at Christopher's Airbnb! We love the University Heights neighborhood and this rental is in the perfect location - walkable to lots of coffee shops and restaurants! Although we did not have any issues, the renters were very responsive in communication. Will continue using this rental for future San Diego visits!

We’ve stayed in Airbnb’s all over the world and Luis and Wade’s place was the BEST one we’ve ever stayed in! The location is in a very walkable, safe, and convenient part of San Diego (Hillcrest). The unit was spotlessly clean, with all that we needed to feel comfortable- extra blankets, charging spots galore, plenty of kitchen supplies, etc). Although we didn’t get the chance to take full advantage of the zen garden, Wade does an amazing job of maintaining it! The laundry facilities were super convenient to have for our 5 day trip. We will absolutely be returning on our next trip to San Diego! The neighborhood is very quiet! The garage was a tight fit but manageable in our mid-size rental so don’t lose hope if it seems like it won’t fit! We had the pleasure of meeting Wade and it’s so clear how hands on he is with his property (not always common with Airbnb hosts). 11/10 would recommend!!!!

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.

Very nice clean apartment with lots of parking. Very comfortable with responsive hosts who made an early check in possible. Kitchen very well stocked!

This place was amazing, perfect for a couple on a getaway. The kitchen, the living room, the bathroom and being able to watch tv while laying in bed, most Airbnb rooms don’t have a tv, so that was a plus. Overall the privacy, going into the hot tub and having your own privaacy…10/10. Hosts were very responsive and gave a welcoming feeling.

The place was really nice! The only struggle for myself was finding it but I was sent instructions with pictures before hand so that was helpful. The parking is a little stressful as it’s very steep so be wary of this if your car is on the older side. Overall, I would stay here again (: super cozy and clean.

Perfect base to attend conference, trolley stop just down the road which was only a few stops away from gaslight area and conference center. Bed was really comfortable, and whilst there was occasional street noise I found it quiet at night and slept really well. Rachel has decorated the apartment beautifully and having a kitchen is fabulous. The rooftop terrace is great to chill out and the washing line was really handy to hang out handwashed clothes, if you are lucky you might get a visit from the friendly cats next door. Rachel was really responsive to questions, great restaurants near, and a few small grocery stores.

We loved staying here! The neighborhood is beautiful and walkable. We loved the private outdoor space. Hot tub, ping pong, comfortable outdoor furniture. Will stay here again!

Great place. I recommend if you need a quiet and comfy place to stay. If you have a car, they have a parking spot if needed :)

We loved our time here! It was perfect and we were able to just walk to the golf course everyday. Hoping to stay here again next year for the NCAA championship. Thanks, Robyn!

The beds were comfortable and the accommodations were clean. We had everything we needed. The location was within walking distance of great restaurants and coffee houses. I would choose to stay there again.

I enjoyed my stay at the apartment. It is very cleaned and organized. It is centrally located very near by coffee shops, Bars and restaurants.

Incredible location right on the beach! Great restaurants and eateries all in walking distance, including coffee shops, bakery, and convenience stores. Emmy's welcome book included great tips and recommendations for the area. Both the kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed, both well stocked. Highly recommend.

Great location steps away from the beach. Francisco was very responsive to any and all questions

First we would stay here again. Location is centrally located to everything (beaches, restaurants, golfing, shopping). The condo is fully equipped with everything to make our stay comfy. Host Julie was always very responsive, knowledgeable and flexible.
