Family-friendly vacation rentals in Escondido

We are so grateful to have been able to stay at Gwynn's place, it is so peaceful and lovely. Like a secret garden getaway. We loved all the small touches, and beauty of the space. Gwynn made us feel very welcome and comfortable! The pool is amazing and the outdoor spaces are delightful. Can't wait to stay here again.

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

great location and amenities - we really appreciated the garage parking spot as it's in a popular beach area. Easy access to the beach boardwalk, and the house has a nice saltwater pool and spa with all the floaties and life jackets for the kids. We found everything we needed to have a fantastic spring break!

Three Oaks was a lovely getaway! It was nice being a bit outside of town, very quiet & peaceful. The host was friendly, attentive & very welcoming. The bed was comfortable, something I have a problem with at most hotels I stay in. Will definitely come back on future visits to the area!

Nima’s Airbnb is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the tranquility and beauty of the space. The home is impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The serene atmosphere made it feel like a true retreat, and every detail reflected care and consideration. Whether we were lounging in the cozy living space or enjoying the peaceful surroundings, it was clear that Nima has created something truly special. Nima himself is an exceptional host—responsive, thoughtful, and committed to ensuring a flawless experience. We’re already looking forward to our next stay and can’t recommend this place enough to anyone seeking a perfect getaway. Thank you, Nima, for sharing your beautiful space with us!

You enter the house, a little uncertain. From the outside, a little underwhelming. You pass through the cosy living room, still a little underwhelming. And THEN, WOW. The pool area, the tennis court, the Vista to the west, the mountains...spectacular, breathtaking, everything as advertised and more. Back in the house, you find a very well stocked kitchen, extremely comfortable bedrooms, a unique "guesthouse" for the Seniors (in our case), and above all...everything in working order. Absolutely no issues! Bravo to our great landlord, who was a super communicator. Overall: our family of 12, across 3 generations, found wonderful places to be together as well as to disperse. A great time was had by all in this Vista Villa wonder!

Super peaceful and relaxing. we were just my husband and myself but definitely enough space for a family or a 2nd couple. Leucadia and Encinitas are great communities and Michelles place is a perfect balance of being close to the ocean and Encinitas town. we took a walk along Neptune and had dinner at Leu Leu. or we drove in to "town" and had great meals there. even took in a movie at La Paloma theater. Michelle did a great job with directions and instructions. everything clear and easy. thank you!

We had such an amazing week for our party of 7 family reunion!!! The house was exactly as described and so well stocked with amenities, most especially books, toys, and any children’s item you could think of for your young boys. Our family had tons of fun using the pool and hot tub, we definitely utilized the wide assortment pool/beach toys and floaties as well. We had a very good time with the special treasure hunt game which was amusement for all ages. Communication was top notch and the recommendations were much appreciated and spot on. We’re already planning our next vacation here again. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Great place and really nice backyard, great neighborhood

This home was beautiful! Plenty of space for the seven of us for our girls' trip. Helen was an excellent host. She was very responsive to any questions we had. The property was well-stocked with towels and linen, and had a washer and dryer in case you needed to do laundry. The backyard is beautiful. Extremely flexible check-in/check-out options. I would definitely stay again.

We had a terrific stay! Would definitely stay again. Fit our family of 6 perfectly!

We had a wonderful stay at Meaghan's place! She was non intrusive yet quick to respond when we had a question. As for the airbnb, it was spectacular! Inside was comfortable and had everything we needed. The outside - well the pictures can't quite capture the intense beauty of the surroundings. I loved the yoga platform and playing with her cats. A great place to decompress and make peace with the world.

We loved staying here with my dog - the cabin was a perfect size for the two (three with the dog) of us! The kitchen is well-equipped with appliances and cookware - despite the small size, we were able to cook lovely meals and snacks. The view is amazing and quiet - loved sitting outside to eat. It was nice to walk around and meet the animals on site. Easy drives to lots of beautiful hiking. Dawn was extremely responsive, both quick and helpful with our questions. We definitely plan to return!

Beautiful, spacious, well-appointed home! We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone going to San Diego! Neighborhood is convenient to all parts of the city.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home. It’s hard to find beach houses this close to the ocean that are both comfortable and stylish and clean, but this certainly fit the bill. We adored the lush back yard, appreciated the extra towels and beach gear, and thought the beds were super comfy. There is a tenant upstairs (as noted in the listing) but it wasn’t a big issue for us. Parking is a BIT tricky due to the busy-ish road the home is on, but free and easy enough to fit two cars. And it really is steps to the beach! Can’t recommend this house enough.

This house was wonderful. We felt right at home from the first minute. The beds were comfortable and the house had everything we needed. It was wonderful sitting out side at the fire pit enjoying the surroundings. The internet was out the first day but Susie made sure it was fixed the next day. We had a few other questions and Susie responded very quickly to all of them. I'd stay here again for sure!

This place was absolutely perfect. We had such a wonderful stay and the location was perfect. I couldn’t thank the host enough for the helpful instructions and speedy communication whenever I had a question. Would love to come back and stay again!

Carlos was a great host, replied promptly to our questions. The whole place was really clean when we arrived, and it was exactly how it was described on the pictures. Pet friendly without the massive restrictions as other rentals. Walking distance to Belmont Park, restaurants, bars and the beach. Great location and we will definitely book this place again when we come back.

We absolutely loved this cottage. It is just as the pictures and description states. We could not have asked for a more thoughtfully stocked home. The location is wonderful. It is within walking distance of the beach, tons of restaurants, and shops. The neighborhood feels very safe. We would stay here again.

The place was perfect for our family which included a 22 month old. The hosts thought of everything one could need! Used the stroller everyday to walk to the beach boardwalk just down the walkway and to Bay boardwalk just across the street. Super clean, comfortable and one of the top AirBnBs we’ve stayed in. Highly recommend!!

Very comfortable and private stay. We may have been the first ones to use the grill and it worked perfectly. Great landscaping and apparently recent remodel. Did not have a full-size oven but other than that it was a great day. Would stay there again.

Guest house on a quiet street, fairly close to SDSU. It was "home base" for our stay in San Diego, while visiting family. Easy access to highways. Local stores & restaurant s nearby. Cute kitchen & patio area. Well maintained.

We had a perfectly comfortable stay and would come back again the next time we are in town if available. The backyard is amazing!

Perfect stay. We will come back. The location is perfect for access to Petco and Coronado (equidistant). Only 5 min from airport. Beautiful neighborhood. Thanks Bill!
