It was a fantastic stay for our family getaway. We loved the pool and hot tub, and the house had everything we needed for our vacation. We enjoyed the ping pong table, gym in the garage, pool table, and plenty of games. We spent a lot of time out of the house enjoying the beaches and hikes in the area, but enjoyed returning to the house to spend time there. All around a fantastic stay.
Had a wonderful family weekend. The outdoor area is ideal for gathering and playing. We had a small problem when we arrived, contacted the host and it was immediately resolved. Plenty of beds, and tables for meals and game playing. Would recommend for a fun time.
Great place for our first family vacation! We used all amenities and loved the backyard!

Love Love this place! Perfect home for a family getaway! The kids loved the pool and outdoor area! House was clean. Host were very responsive and helpful! Def will rent this place again!
My 3 sisters, their 5 littles and my parents all met up here to have a lovely time. Pool was a hit. Lots of fun games. The kitchen is well equipt, and so much room. Decor is cute and space is very conducive to making memories. Popping into San Diego proper is not bad, 20-25 minutes to all of the attractions. This property is lovely.

Thanks Holly! You were a fantastic guest - the house was left in great condition and we loved that you made good use of all the amenities. I apologize for the initial internet and pool heating issues, but I'm so glad we could resolve them quickly. Hope to have you and your family stay with us again soon!
Our family of 10 thoroughly enjoyed staying here. We almost don't want to leave! We will definitely come back and book Casey's home again and again! Thanks Casey for having us!

Diane, it was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to hosting you again soon! You were a wonderful guest!
This place is amazing!!! All the amenities and the place was serene! Casey we absolutely the best!! Even with all my questions lol. I would definitely make a return trip.
We booked this last minute and everything was perfect! Casey was very quick to respond and the house is amazingly beautiful and well-designed! We will come back again here! :)
The property is spacious and clean. The home has a wonderful backyard with a pool, hot tub, fire pit, and tiki bar. My family also enjoyed the pool table in the living room and the ping pong table in the garage. The kitchen has all the essentials to cook meals. The host was so nice and welcoming! Our stay was perfect! I highly recommend this amazing home and amazing host!
The property is beautiful and has everything you would want for a vacation home. The property owner was easy to communicate with. We were six adults and three small children. The house and yard were perfect for us. Our only complaint would be the dogs next door barking at us every time we were at the pool and the fact the owner does not allow anyone outside after 9:00. The adults had quiet conversation outside one night after 9:00 and we received a text from the owner saying it was quiet time, which we were observing.

Bruce, thank you for your fantastic 5-star review! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that our home was beautiful and well-suited for your group. It was a pleasure hosting you in our home!
We had a lot of issues during check in. The gate was padlocked and we were not provided the code. The power was not turned on during our arrival, and we had to wait over an hour for it to be fixed. This caused us to miss an excursion as we were planning to drop off our things and immediately go there.
The property managers were mostly easy to get a hold of and attended to all of our problems as quickly as they could.
Overall the stay was amazing and everyone in my party had a great time. The property looks just like the pictures!
The house has great features and bedrooms. The layout is quite convenient and is a great place to get away.
Pros - outdoor space, lots of activities built within the house, clean and spacious. Kitchen area is especially nice with really good knives for cooking and higher end appliances, dishes, utensils. Nice towels, sheets etc
Cons - having to be mindful of noise after 9pm, large barking dogs right next door, a few snafus with things broken or breaking (but mostly remedied during our stay), water taking quite some time to heat (inside and out), extra costs needed for heating pool and spa, higher end cost for what it actually is.
However, all in all, if you are looking for a place to just get away and do things in the house, this place could be for you.
This place was amazing for our family vacation. Our group ranged in age from 6 to 64 years old and it fit the bill. Simply amazing. We brought our own games which we didn’t even use since the house had a pool table and a variety of different games. The house was bigger than expected! So comfortable. We also added the pool heat and it was well worth the cost. The pool slide was a cherry on top.Beds were also very comfortable and we all had a great nights sleep. I really appreciated the labels in the kitchen which helped us avoid mundanely opening cabinets/drawers to look for an item. They also had a good number of seasoning available. That’s usually something we have to buy.The neighborhood is quiet and added to our peace and relaxation. For families and groups looking for a quiet and safe rental, this house is in a great location. The street is also aesthetically pleasing.Communication with the property manager was very easy and prompt. 10/10 would stay again.

Horrible Host Canceled our stay within hours of scheduled arrival on Wedding Night
We were so excited to stay in this home as the reviews were great & the pictures looked lovely. My husband and I were getting married at the courthouse with family coming to stay with us. We got permission from the host to have additional family come for an evening bbq & then they would return the next day to enjoy the pool. Unfortunately I woke up, ON MY WEDDING DAY, to find that my reservation was CANCELED within hours of our arrival. I was shocked to say the least. The host, Casey, said there was a leak in the roof and it needed immediate repair (it wasn’t raining or due to rain in July). She hosts other homes and said that she would do her best to find us another place to stay. Not only did she not do that, but she didn’t answer any of my messages after she canceled on us. She left me and my family with no place to stay on THE VERY SAME DAY we were to arrive. We had other family staying in hotels in the area who had to forfeit their money because we had to find a different house 50 miles away at the last minute. Many of my family was not able to find a place to stay and ended up having to turn around and go home. I was heartbroken, my wedding day ruined. Casey was awful. She was unprofessional and cruel to do this to her guests. My family members reached out to her to see if she would respond since she ghosted me and she did! She just avoided me. No consequence for her actions and no care for other people. AVOID CASEY and any of her homes!!!

Why they chose this property
Tucked into the rolling hills of East San Diego County, El Cajon is a chill spot that’s got a little something for everyone—whether you’re into the outdoors, hitting the shops, or just soaking up good vibes with the family.
Love nature? There are tons of ways to get outside and explore. Go for a hike up Cowles Mountain, cruise on your bike through Mission Trails, take a peaceful walk around Lake Murray, or cast a line at El Capitan Reservoir. The area is full of trails, parks, and adventure—perfect for stretching your legs and taking in those sunny SoCal views.
Craving the beach? You’re only about 25 minutes from the coast. Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Coronado Beach are all close by—great for sunbathing, swimming, or just watching the waves. And if you’re into epic sunsets, Sunset Cliffs is the spot. Bring your camera!
Springtime is extra special when the wildflowers bloom out in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park—totally worth the drive. And if you’re up for a little road trip, the charming towns of Julian (apple pie, anyone?) and Borrego Springs are both just over an hour away.
There’s also no shortage of entertainment. From Vegas-style casinos and golf courses to local rodeos and festivals, you’ll always find something going on. For shopping and a movie night, Parkway Plaza has you covered with a big indoor mall, IMAX theater, and plenty of stores to browse.
And when you're ready to explore more, you’re still close to San Diego favorites—Downtown, SeaWorld, Liberty Station, SDSU, Balboa Park, Old Town, and so many breweries and tasting rooms. Everything’s just a short drive away.
What makes this property unique
Getting here is a breeze! Just hop on I-8 heading east from San Diego, or take the Orange or Green Line on the San Diego Trolley if you're riding public transit.
The house is super easy to find—right off the I-8. Having a car definitely makes exploring the area more convenient. You’ll have a private garage that fits two cars, plus room for four more in the gated driveway.
