The property was a perfect fit for my family and the host was responsive. We found the home to be clean, well-stocked and in a good location for staging our various activities. We are also VRBO hosts, so we appreciated the effort the owner put into ensuring our stay was enjoyable and welcoming. Stay here and you won't be wrong.

We really enjoyed our time at Casa Azul. It was an awesome and affordable home base for all of our San Diego family adventures. The pool, patio, and outdoor kitchen were absolutely perfect for the days we stayed in. Everything was in excellent working order and very clean.

We stayed a week at this lovely home while visiting our daughter and grandchildren in the San Diego Area. It was a very pleasant vacation. The beds are comfortable, they have everything you'd need to cook your own meals. We binge watched the latest season of our favorite Netflix Show. And the grandkids loved the big heated pool. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Family Vacation

The home was clean and well maintained. Pool and hot tub were fun and also clean. The home was a great starting point to visit all the great attractions in San Diego. We made a lot of great memories. Thanks so much!

Great pick for a short stay!

We had a very nice stay at this property. The pictures of the property match the house. Everything was clean and we had plenty of space. Communication with the owner was so easy and the responses came back quickly. The owner was sweet enough to leave a bottle of wine. The only downside was that we didn’t use the pool because it was very cool that weekend. Otherwise, I would stay at this property again.

Great place to stay in El Cajon

We stayed at this VRBO for 6 nights for our daughters' softball tournament. Rental is centrally located to Hwy 15 and only takes about 25 minutes to get to Mission Beach/Sea World depending on traffic. Lots of good food around the area, plenty of places to shop. The pool was fantastic! The hot tub was even better, just what our girls needed after a long day on the fields. The beds were very comfortable, and the rental is spacious and tastefully decorated. Bonus was the washer and dryer! Brandon is the sweetest guy you could ever hope to meet, I really enjoyed getting to know him. We will definitely book again if our travels take us back to the San Diego area.

A lil slice of heaven

We loved our stay at Casa Azul. It was a perfect fit for our family, ranging in ages from 14 - 72. From the beginning to end the entire process was smooth. Brandon was a great communicator and more than hospitable. The pool ands spa were a big hit. Our stay was quite peaceful and relaxing. We would highly recommend Casa Azul. We will stay here again on future visits to San Diego…….oh by the way, San Diego was a quick 20 minute easy drive. We much preferred stsyinge out of the hustle and bustle of the city. (Close enough, but far enough away). We felt very safe when walking around.
