Vacation rentals with a fire pit in East County, San Diego

This was by far the best air b n b I’ve ever stayed at. I will definitely be back for my next trip in San Diego. The place felt right at home. It was easy to get inside and the host was super responsive and helpful!

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.

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.

Fantastic hosts, super friendly, extremely clean & well kept. Definitely will be staying there again! Wonderful place & hosts ❤️

Alyssa was a great host! Very responsive and helpful. The location was private and had a great view. The living space was an amazing indoor/outdoor combo and the sliding doors really opened up the living space. Everything was amazing beyond our expectations and would recommend staying here.

I had an incredible stay and can’t say enough great things about this place and our host! The home was spotless, exactly as described, and even more beautiful in person. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, from the cozy bedding to the well-stocked kitchen. It truly felt like a home away from home. Our host was communicative, kind, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. Check-in was easy, and they went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. You can tell they really care about their guests’ experience. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, and stress-free stay. Thank you for everything!

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.

We were looking for the perfect mix of relaxation, luxury, and privacy — and this home delivered on all fronts. From the spacious, modern design to the impeccable amenities, everything was top-notch. The heated pool and water slide were a huge hit, and we spent hours enjoying the water each day. The private, well-maintained outdoor space with the hot tub and fireplace provided the perfect spot to relax in the evenings, making it easy to unwind after a day of fun around San Diego. The kitchen was fully equipped, m The house is situated near all of the places we wanted to visit. It is a private location, giving us a true sense of peace and relaxation throughout our stay. Our host was amazing! Myrna was incredibly responsive, providing clear instructions and being available for anything we needed. The attention to detail and care truly made our experience special. It was perfect for our family!

Tamara’s place was the best decision we made for the trip. Everything we planned was 20+ mins away but well worth to get away from the hustle and bustle after a full day of activities. Very clean, spacious yet cozy and relaxing with the sound of the ocean just steps away from you. Tamara is also very responsive, accommodating and kind. If we can’t book here, we will 100% adjust our plans so we can come back. :)

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

Location is very walkable to charming downtown Vista area, and the unit itself is clean, airy, and spacious with plenty of amenities! There are clear instructions in place too and the dedicated parking was a big plus. It was a peaceful and restful place to stay, thank you Kim!

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!!

Pretty much perfect. Location is just stupid perfect. Walk right over to the Del Coronado, right to the beach, right to coffee. The place is perfect for a couples romantic stay. I plan on going back each year. I would suggest using their parking at the B of A right next door. Totally worth it. I really have zero bad things to say. Value A+. Easy A+ Clean A+. Safety A+++++. Lobster rolls across the street A+. Buzzed coffee around the corner A++++. I’ll be back.

Amazing place, it’s a great place for a couple. Restaurants are at a walking distance. Lauren was really helpful throughout the whole stay with any questions we had. Will definitely book again when we visit in the future.

Loved staying at Lauren’s place. Upon entry, the space leading up to the apts front door was tighter than we expected - it was one unit of a few in a tight backyard. That said, the inside looked exactly as photos, spotlessly clean, the location was great, and it felt private. Lauren was very responsive and friendly, sharing local restaurant recommendation if desired. I would stay here again as it gave us a quiet homebase to relax with easy access to great food as we explored San Diego.

Brian was communicative and his place was quaint and clean.

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.

This was such a beautiful and fun place to stay ! It’s hard to find something simple with a good price and this place was perfect in both aspects. The views were amazing the area around the cabin was so cute and very much made for 2. Loved that it was like glamorous camping in a bit city. A great get away. Thank you !

I absolutely fell in love with the historical charm of this cabin! It’s such a delightful spot, filled with an amazing atmosphere that makes it a perfect getaway. One minor hiccup during our trip from Arizona back to San Diego was the lack of cell signal, which made checking in a bit challenging. However, that small inconvenience couldn’t dampen our spirits! The vintage bathtub added such a lovely touch to our stay, and I appreciated the old-fashioned heating system that kept us cozy when the night air turned chilly. The porch was a gem as well! Nestled in nature and featuring comfy seating, it was the ideal spot to unwind. While the area doesn’t allow for outdoor lights, having a flashlight handy is a great idea if you’re arriving after sunset. The location is perfect for a leisurely stroll, and we enjoyed the fascinating history shared. Overall, we are truly grateful for the opportunity to experience this. Another bonus is that Julian is just down the street!

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.
