Vacation rentals with a hot tub in Little Italy, San Diego

A Perfect Getaway in El Cajon! From the moment we arrived, this stunning Airbnb exceeded all expectations. Nestled in the scenic hills of El Cajon, the property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and feels like a true retreat. The home itself is immaculate—thoughtfully decorated with a blend of modern touches and cozy charm. Every detail, from the plush linens to the fully stocked kitchen, made us feel pampered and at home. Waking up to the golden California sun streaming through the windows and enjoying coffee on the patio with panoramic views was a daily highlight. The outdoor space is a dream—lush landscaping, a relaxing seating area, and the kind of quiet that lets you truly unwind. Our host was incredibly welcoming and responsive. Whether you’re looking to explore San Diego or just relax in a serene setting, this is the perfect place. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our next trip!

Alejandro and Magdalena were great hosts. They had great communication and were friendly and accommodating. Our stay was very relaxing: beds were comfortable and lots of space to hang out indoors and outdoors.

great amenities! loved the space and the area. a little loud but i’m used to city noise:)

Beautiful and modern house, organized supplies and everything. Owner is super responsive and friendly. Very safe and quiet neighborhood. Also Roof top hot tub is always hot and running. Thank you so much for the hospitality! Larissa & Dave

We had a great stay over spring break! Our group was 5 adults & 4 children, but we never felt cramped! The neighborhood is charming and felt safe, even to this small town family. We walked into the Kensington main street area most days - for coffee (Starbucks), acai bowls & organic groceries (Stehly Farms Market), pizza, burgers (kids eat free on Tuesday!), and ice cream (you MUST try the Ube & Toffee flavor at Stella Jeans)! :) The kids loved the pool/ hot tub, although it was a shame the pool guy never checked in over our weeklong stay. With 4 children in the pool every day, the water was cloudy by the time we left. I blame myself for not letting Zeina and Mo know, as they were responsive for all my other queries. The casita was a blessing for grandma and grandpa, who needed their quiet time. The only real complaint I heard from our group was that the house smells stale (like the charming old house it is) and the laundry/pingpong area smells of mildew. Opening doors helped!

Stayed here for the week with my wife and two boys for spring break. We had such a good time and it was such a great space. Lots of room to hang out throughout the house, plenty to do for all, Beautiful outdoor setup, the movie theater room was a hit, and the proximity to the zoo, Petco park, and other downtown destinations was great. In addition to the space, the host was extremely responsive to all questions and requests. Would highly recommend this house for a family getaway! Thanks to Daniel and the crew for a great stay.

We had a long girls’ weekend (a bunch of 40-yr old moms!) - this space was great and had plenty of space. There was a beautiful open living room, kitchen, and dining room. The large window from the kitchen opened so we could have an indoor/outdoor vibe. The yard area was great - plenty of seating and an incredible view. Point Loma and Shelter Island are an easy walk down the hill (going back up is another story!). We had everything we needed - full kitchen to cook, beach towels, etc.

Great home away from home place, especially for families with children. Everything we needed was supplied and whatever we needed Alex did a great job making sure it was provided for us . Very quiet and peaceful home. Thank you Alex for making our stay pleasant.

Ali , your property was amazing. Thanks for the experience , and I highly recommend.

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 stay was absolutely perfect! The home was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The hosts truly thought of everything, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The hosts went out of their way to be accommodating and hospitable. The pool was a huge hit with our kids, and every detail-from the amenities to the little thoughtful touches-made our stay extra special. If you're looking for a place that feels like a home away from home, this is it! We can't wait to come back.

Liam’s space is a great place. I’m very particular with beddings and pillows and it exceeded my expectation. We had peaceful nights without worrying about itchy linens. Everybody had a great time. Plenty of towels to soak in the hot tub. The kids enjoyed the space and their individuals bedroom. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for the stay. Liam, Mia and Thomas were very responsive. It’s close to a lot of the places we had to visit in SD. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who want to enjoy quiet neighborhood yet near the main attractions of San Diego.

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!

If you are looking for a view of San Diego and the bay, this is the place. The view is spectacular! The home is beautiful and fully equipped for a family stay. Lots to do in the area for young children. Beds are comfortable. New carpet was great for the kids to play on. Hot tub on the balcony at night overlooking the city lights was our highlight in the night after the kids went to bed. We will definitely be back again with our family!

This place was good for a large group we liked the 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, the pool was excellent and the kids loved it!

We loved our stay. The host was so responsive and helpful. The pool was beautiful.
