Family-Friendly Vacation Homes Near Disneyland & Downtown San Diego

This was our final 3-night stay during our 2-week trip in the U.S., and it was the perfect way to end our journey. The house had such a warm and cozy atmosphere, and the spacious backyard was a wonderful place to relax and play. The large avocado tree in the backyard was something really special. It not only looked beautiful but also provided great shade for playing. The gas firepit was easy to turn on and off, so the kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows every evening, and we had lovely evenings spending time outside. The gas BBQ grill was also easy to use and perfect for outdoor meals. Whenever we had questions about how to use something in the house, our host Sarah responded promptly and helpfully. During our stay in the LA area, some of our nearby friends came by to say hello, and their little kids had a great time playing in the backyard pool. The pool was also easy to heat and made the whole experience even better.

This place needs a Mary Poppins room as it is Practically Perfect in Every Way!!! Stayed a week with my daughters and 5 grandchildren and wish I had planned it better to stay at the house more each day. We played together so much while here - pool, games, firepit, dining, and movie nights outdoors. Although each kid had brought a Tablet, I don’t think they ever were used: too busy having a good time. I highly highly recommend this place and will definitely be booking again. Sarah - thank you for always being so attentive to my messages and providing my family with such wonderfully created memories.

This spot was amazing! The corner store across the street is so convenient. We walked to a great coffee shop too. It’s not too far from the beach or Disney which fit all of our groups needs. My group was 5 adults and 2 small kids. They had everything we needed and room for another couple if needed. We had friends who live locally over to visit and enjoy the yard. The space was perfect for a campfire and hanging out. The pool is the perfect size for small kids and adults like us who want to cool down but not necessarily swim. The children’s room with toys and princess dresses were the perfect fit. It’s rare to see so many children’s amenities! The 3 separate bathrooms + an entirely separate suite with its own entrance from the yard + game room which its own entrance made it perfect for all of us connecting on different time zones to get privacy with varying sleep schedules. I can’t say enough good about the spot. Definitely will be looking to come back!

Sarah's place was perfect for our large group. all 5 rooms were very spacious. place was clean and very well decorated. you could tell Sarah put alot of effort into this place. it was central to everything we wanted to do (a quick 15 minute drive to the Disney Main drop off entrance, 25 minutes to Newport Beach, 45 minutes to LAX, 1hr and 15 minutes from Pasadena). we enjoyed the backyard and all the amenities/yard toys). only hiccup was the pool since it could not get warmer than 74 degrees even though the heater was on. would recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

I only stayed one night with my family. But we were all pleased with the house, amenities and honesty just the simple things available in the home. Plenty of utensils, cups and everything we needed we found with ease! Beautifully styled home

We had a great stay at this super cute house! It comfortably fit our big family of 11 with lots of different sleeping options. The backyard was perfect for relaxing and had fun outdoor games for both kids and adults. Inside, the little ones loved the toy kitchen and dress-up clothes—such a thoughtful touch. The only downside was that the fire pit wasn’t working, which was disappointing since we had planned for s’mores with the kids. Unfortunately, the number provided for help didn’t really offer any resolution, which was a bit frustrating. That said, the host did offer a discount for a future stay, which we appreciated. Overall, it’s a lovely home and we’d definitely recommend it and stay again!

This place is terrific, particularly for our plans which was two families with kids heading to Disneyland. The layout of the place was wonderful for hanging out, and our two families had their respective nooks to set up camp in. The place was decorated so great too; lot of thought clearly went into the place. We were very pleased with everything and would definitely stay here again. Also, side note, there’s a little corner store across the street in the neighborhood that was clutch for a few essentials. Definitely recommend this spot.

from the moment my family and i arrived (3 kiddos in tow) it was magical! sarah made sure we had extra pool towels and just so many details thoughtfully prepared for our memorable stay! core memories were definitely unlocked and now with us. the themed abode, pictures don’t do it justice, everything corner of the home is filled with beautiful designs and makes you feel like your cozy disney dream home away from home. parking on the driveway is so convenient as well as the mart across the street for quick pickups, very friendly neighborhood!

We celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday and stayed at the Avocottage. What a cute and fun property! We enjoyed all the amenities, it was close to Disney, plenty of space, great outdoor area for fun! We had such a great time and Sarah was a great host! Highly recommend

Let me tell you about Boho bungalow. This cute/ full of vibe rental was the absolute cutest!!!! It had everything you needed plus more! It was in a good spot too. We felt like it was 10-15 min from everywhere. So very convenient in every way. It was such a vibe! From the hot tub to the patio hang out area and family porch games. Not to mention, the projector screen as well. Beds were comfortable, very accommodating to all the guests we had. Amount of bathrooms with showers made a world of a difference. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone I know.
