House vacation rentals in Old Town, San Diego

Loved everything about our stay at this amazing house! Comfortable beds, awesome backyard with pool and hot tub, great location- walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, park and very close to lots of site seeing. Our family of 5 had a wonderful time - thank you for sharing your lovely house with us!

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!

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!

House was clean and comfortable. Check in and check out went smoothly. Communication was great with the owner. Perfectly accommodated our family and location was great. We loved that Better Buzz was within walking distance for a coffee! Grocery store and restaurants also close by. Would highly recommend this rental!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The host was responsive to any questions we had. The home was clean and accommodating. There were great features in the home including generous offerings of subscription services such as TV, music and video games. The host is also generous with pool and hot tub heating at our discretion and leisure up until quiet hours. The pool and hot tub and cabana were clean and made our stay very fun. Another great feature of this home is the overall vibe and vinyl records and whole house Sonos. The home is nicely equipped with lots of towels, full kitchen, games, and even a puzzle with all the pieces! The home is private. We were also able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay at this location again and plan to look at other options offered by this host.

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!

Miguel’s home was the perfect stay for my business partner and I! Such a beautiful and spacious home in a quiet neighborhood that is close to everything! Would absolutely stay here again!

There are simply not enough stars to rate this exceptional home! This mid-century modern home was impeccable — interior design was gorgeous, exterior was serene and flowed with the open living. The pool was well maintained and every detail to make guests comfortable were taken. We loved our time there! I can’t thank you enough Lacee for making our trip truly wonderful. We hope to come back soon!

Michael was a great host. I really appreciated the opportunity to check in early even though it didn’t work out. I also appreciated the fast and efficient communication. The house was perfect for our stay. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again for your hospitality!

This spot is so cozy and quiet. Very convenient for visiting SDSU and other local attractions. I also appreciated being able to park behind the gate in the driveway instead of street parking.

This is our 2nd time staying at this property, first time in the 2 bedroom unit. We love the location, privacy with beautiful landscaping and the hot tub! Unit has everything you need and love the extra outdoor space each unit has! Beds are very comfortable as well and added beach equipment to use if needed is awesome. We will definitely be back again!

This place is amazing! The location is priceless. It’s steps to the beach and literally next to the restaurants, breakfast/lunch cafe across the street. Would definitely stay there again!

Lorenzo was a great host! Would definitely recommend for anyone that is looking to stay close to downtown SD. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Charming little Cottage in a perfect, downtown La Jolla location. Walk to anything. La Jolla Cove and beaches. Grocery store and restaurants all in walking distance.

Marjorie and Dan’s home was vey nice, clean and bright. We felt very comfortable there. Hosts were very responsive and friendly. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a beautiful stay! Location is perfect and neighborhood is stunning. Very clean! Super well stocked and very family friendly. Littel kiddos will be comfy here! If you're planning on spending some time "hanging out" in your Airbnb, this one offers the views and comforts! Highly recommend and would stay again!

This home was exactly as advertised and a great fit for our family. The home is close to so much of San Diego but is still nestled within a quiet neighborhood setting. Laura made us feel welcome and her communication was excellent. We would absolutely recommend this property to others who are visiting the San Diego area!

2nd stay at this home. We absolutely love the team and the homes they offer. If you’re anywhere in the San Diego area this is where you start.

An excellent place, comfortable, clean and the hosts were available 10 out of 10. My family and I stayed and we all loved the place and everything was very central, we would definitely stay again.

This place was conveniently located, private, and comfortable. The beds were extremely comfortable, with nice pillows and sheets. The Airbnb was equipped with everything one would need for the beach! Doug was a very communicative host, which we liked. Overall, a great little spot for a vacation. The only negative was that out of the "four" parking spots, one is tandem, meaning a stranger might end parked behind you with your car trapped.

We rented this for my sister’s bachelorette and it was PERFECT! It was decorated very beautifully and was clean!

The space in this house worked really well with our family. We have 3 young boys under the ages of 7 that loved being able to stay in another house while on vacation and run around. The location of the house was perfect to other family members that we were visiting. It was also close to playgrounds, amusement parks and other tourist attractions that we brought the kids to. Our host was very accommodating, responsive, and communicated well with our questions and/or concerns. Would recommend this house for future stays

Was an awesome place to stay, only a couple blocks away from the beach, lots to do with out having to use your car. We would definitely stay again and we highly recommend this place!!!!

Zapher was a great host! We loved our stay at the Buddha House and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be close to a really fun San Diego neighborhood but in a quiet, oasis-like home.
