Holiday houses in El Capitan Reservoir

Lovely outdoor space! And soooo close to the beach. It being about 3 small blocks from the public parking and the lifeguard stations, means everything is just a bit less busy where the house is, and the beach is a little quieter if you go directly west from the house. The planes flying overhead are loud, so bring some earphones if that's something that bothers you. Joshua is a very helpful and responsive host!

Absolutely loved my stay here! The place was spotless and had everything I needed—including a garage that fit my mid-size car perfectly, which was such a bonus. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by amazing local food spots. Communication with the host was smooth and prompt, from check-in to check-out, and they were super helpful with any questions I had. Would definitely stay here again!

I loved this cottage, it’s location, and our experience. The exterior: private, behind a wooden fence steps away from the sidewalk, with the cutest succulent garden with some tasteful décor. The interior: meticulously curated vintage and retro-style pieces, always something to look at, I appreciate that it wasn’t an IKEA bulk order but a lot of love and care and personality. And it’s SO clean and doesn’t feel cluttered at all! I loved the round yellow bathroom tile, the kitchen sink, the leather chair and ottoman in the living room. So many gems all around. Katrina was a gem herself!!! My toddler got sick (yuck) in bed the first night, and K came to our rescue the next morning with new linens, completely kindhearted and understanding. Related- the free laundry was a godsend to have with a kid, and to simply not have to pack a ton! And the beach gear, stocked supplies in the cabinets, they thought of everything! ❤️

We love this place!! This is our 3rd year in a row staying at Caroline's quaint, PB cottage. It's PERFECT for two and has everything you need. We LOVE the private yard along with the BBQ grill to cook up some fresh veggies and fresh fish. The private parking is awesome and the beach is only a few blocks away. The location has many close by restaurants, beach shops, and a couple of grocery stores within walking distance. We hope to visit San Diego again next year and this will be our place of choice! Caroline is a wonderful host! 🙂

fantastic place that was very conveniently located and had great privacy and romance. Really felt like home. Can't wait to go back. Ricardo was a great host and look forward to staying here again!!

Our family of five had a lovely stay here. Location is amazing…loved walking down to the beach and a short walk from lots of restaurants but not too noisy. Beds were super comfortable, kitchen was well stocked and easy to use. Nice to have laundry down the hall too. And pool & hot tub were great. The views from the unit are stunning and loved having the ocean breeze and sounds at night. We would stay here again!!

I’ve stayed here twice and both times were excellent. It’s extremely private and has a pretty view. It’s pretty easy to find as well. I would definitely recommend!

Great place and location

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place had stunning views and was perfectly private, making it a peaceful retreat. The location was ideal—close to everything but still felt tucked away. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and the kitchen and bathrooms were modern, clean, and well-equipped. The surrounding area was beautiful and added to the relaxing vibe. Would definitely stay here again!
