Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Hillcrest, San Diego

Cozy spot in a great location. A lot of places to eat, grocery stores and within walking distance or a cheap ride to / from the park. Camila was very nice and helpful! Definitely check it out.

Kevin's cottage was the perfect place to stay in San Diego. I loved the back patio surrounded by flowers and fruit trees. The home was a fitting Shabby Chic style, immaculate and comfortable for one or two guests. Kevin communicates very quickly and is right there in the neighborhood to help if needed. The surrounding neighborhood is comfortable to walk around. I will certainly seek another visit at Kevin's cottage when I return to San Diego.

Brenda’s home was a perfect location for our family to explore the San Diego surroundings. We spent a couple of days in Balboa Park, which was just around the corner from the house, and there was easy access to restaurants, shopping, and coffee shops. The place itself was as advertised, with plenty of space for our family to feel at home. Finally, it was a nice touch that Brenda had some beach items available for our use, which we took full advantage of during our visit to La Jolla. Would definitely recommend this place for future stays.

We loved Raquel's place and greatly enjoyed our stay in her home! The house was the perfect fit for our group of 3 friends with our young teen daughters. It is spacious and cozy, the 2 bedrooms were very comfortable and the 2 bathrooms worked great for us. We did use the living room couch for sleeping and it was pretty comfortable. We didn't get to enjoy much the outdoors of the house because it was cool in the evenings and we were out during the day, but we loved the setting. The house is surrounded by courtyard and backyard with lounge to relax, with dining table and grill and a nice garden. We had access to the laundry room which was also great and could park easily at the house. The kitchen was well equipped although we didn't use it much, there was even some basic items in the kitchen and some food that Raquel appointed we could use which was very nice. The location was also great because it was very easy to access main roads and it is very close to downtown and Mission area.

Convenient location. House was nice and clean and it was nice to have a garage for our rented car. Host was very responsive. Would come back again next time we are in San Diego!

The place was very nice and comfortable. Destiny and Sal were responsive and helpful. The Hillcrest neighborhood is very pleasant and walkable.

This home is perfect! Great walkability to amazing restaurants and bars. Great central location. Hosts are amazing. I would highly recommend.

The place was in an ideal central location for seeing San Diego’s best spots. Liz was also an incredibly responsive and accommodating host! We felt very taken care of during our stay.

We had everything we needed. We appreciated having the kitchenette. Parking was easy. The space was just right for two of us and we were able to relax each day after sightseeing. I enjoyed reading one of the books Anna had stocked in the room. Anna was easy to get a hold of and gave us recs for sites and restaurants.

Very clean and comfortable space. Bed was comfy and we really liked the space!

You will love this spot! It's cozy, clean and an amazing springboard for exploring San Diego! It's located around the block from Balboa Park and the Zoo with great restaurants nearby. One of the biggest winning points is how centrally located you will be and your 15 minutes from the airport, beaches and Petco Park. About the space itself - bright, sunny and comfortable, with a comfortable queen bed, full kitchen and spotless/ clean bathroom. Lastly, the host - Steven, was incredible helpful via local tips for food and activities. Well worth your time for a great experience. Enjoy your stay!

This was our second time staying at Christopher's Airbnb! We love the University Heights neighborhood and this rental is in the perfect location - walkable to lots of coffee shops and restaurants! Although we did not have any issues, the renters were very responsive in communication. Will continue using this rental for future San Diego visits!

This place was real cozy and quiet. I appreciated the privacy and the surrounding area had some great places to eat. Chris was extremely helpful and I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay in Jeff’s place - walking distance to supermarkets and restaurants. Rom,over than it looked and there was a little office to work in.

I have stayed at Lucinda’s a few times now- and I almost hate to recommend it so highly because I’m always sad when it’s not available! The neighborhood is beautiful. The house has so much character and I could simply stay inside and enjoy the surroundings all day. It’s relaxing and peaceful and quiet- and I feel absolutely safe and comfortable staying there. There are always little extras, too, like some drinks in the fridge and some treats on the table-and an extra toothbrush and toothpaste, too, which I ended up needing this time! Can’t recommend highly enough.

I really enjoyed the stay. It's a great listing. It's very clean and spacious. I highly recommend it. I will keep it in mind when I visit San Diego next time.

I enjoyed staying at Vivian's place and it worked just fine for my purposes. I was in town for a conference and the home is about a 20 minute walk to the convention center. The apartment was well appointed and I appreciated the in-unit washer and dryer. The home is in a quiet area of the city and fairly residential. There weren't many people walking around when I was coming back at night, which did give me pause as a solo female traveler, however I found the surroundings to be safe and had no problems.

I booked the flat as an alternative to a hotel for a business trip to San Diego. My expectations were surpassed. Felt right at home so the business stay didn't feel like a trip away from home at all.

Amazing stay for me and my boyfriend! The location is central enough to everything we wanted to do and see here in sd. The space was clean, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed! Instructions are listed clearly and communication with Nick was always quick n reliable! There’s some pretty significant construction out in front of the building, so street parking was a bit tricky since the parking space provided in the garage couldn’t accommodate our truck - but that was just a minor inconvenience for our ginormous rental lol.

Place felt like home, peacful, quiet, was able to have everything I needed in one place. Thelma was very kind and made our stay very welcoming. Thank you so much for helping us during our vacation. Highly recommened place to stay.

Tony’s listing was exactly as described in photos & writeup. Very clean & on point. Responds quickly & gave us a heads up prior about a Marathon going on so we could plan travel accordingly. Located in area where you can walk to local restaurants & bars. If traveling to San Diego again, I will most certainly book this place again.

Great place to stay and close proximity to all the best spots in San Diego!

Loved the place and location. Very safe and parking in a secured garage. It felt very homey and would definitely go back.

"Amazing stay! Great location for anything you might want to do in the San Diego area. Junn was awesome! Highly recommend!"
