Family-friendly vacation rentals in San Juan Capistrano

Three Oaks was a lovely getaway! It was nice being a bit outside of town, very quiet & peaceful. The host was friendly, attentive & very welcoming. The bed was comfortable, something I have a problem with at most hotels I stay in. Will definitely come back on future visits to the area!

We had a terrific stay! Would definitely stay again. Fit our family of 6 perfectly!

You enter the house, a little uncertain. From the outside, a little underwhelming. You pass through the cosy living room, still a little underwhelming. And THEN, WOW. The pool area, the tennis court, the Vista to the west, the mountains...spectacular, breathtaking, everything as advertised and more. Back in the house, you find a very well stocked kitchen, extremely comfortable bedrooms, a unique "guesthouse" for the Seniors (in our case), and above all...everything in working order. Absolutely no issues! Bravo to our great landlord, who was a super communicator. Overall: our family of 12, across 3 generations, found wonderful places to be together as well as to disperse. A great time was had by all in this Vista Villa wonder!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staying at James’ home was nothing short of magical! Nestled right next to his breathtaking castle, this home is a true masterpiece—combining elegance, comfort, and a sense of grandeur that is simply unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and generosity, a reflection of James himself—an incredible soul whose kindness and hospitality made our experience even more special. Every detail in the home is thoughtfully curated, from the exquisite decor to the impeccable cleanliness and comfort. The ambiance is both luxurious and inviting, offering the perfect blend of history and modern convenience. Waking up to the stunning surroundings felt like stepping into a fairytale, and every moment spent here was an absolute delight. James’ home is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience, a retreat, and a privilege. We are already looking forward to returning and cannot recommend it highly enough! Beds are super comfortable.

Had a great, easy stay. The place was clean, comfortable and spacious. Jan & Dale added lovely extra touches with snacks and breakfast items and were very responsive to our questions. I'd definitely rent here again!

Barry and Van were great hosts, and very accommodating to our family and pups. We felt right at home, and would definitely stay again.

Ari’s place is the best. With so much privacy yet being close to all the cool spots, it was like being in the country with the convenience of the city. Staying here is like being at a long-lost friend’s home. Well equipped, great vibe, very welcoming and cosy.

Truly a memorable experience, and a portal into the Old West and the pictures don't do it justice. We all dressed up for the occasion and it brought back a feeling of child-like wonderment in all of us with more that enough activities anyone can enjoy over a long weekend: sit around the fire pit, play poker and billiards in the Saloon, relax in the hot tub, practice lassoing, and laying in hammocks around the property. Instructions on check-in, usages, and check-out were clear and plenty. The host responded to all messages within 20 minutes, even into the night and was very accommodating to last-minute requests. Honestly couldn't have asked for better.

We had a great stay at John’s house. It was so clean and very comfortable. We went to Disneyland for three days and it was so easy to get there. It was nice to have the Jacuzzi after a long day of walking. We will definitely stay here again when we come to Disneyland.

This place was great! Private garage, large living room, comfy beds and outdoor balcony/patio - what more could you ask for! Overall our stay was great. David was very responsive and friendly. I ran into a WiFi issue since I work from home and David was quick to help! Location is walkable to local coffee shops and restaurants. Can’t beat the location for sure! Will definitely recommend!

Staying at Nancy's place was a fantastic experience for my family, a family of four including two children. The house is beautiful and Nancy was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The kitchen is very well equipped, the front and back yards are lovely to sit in. The only difficulty we encountered was that we didn't have longer to stay! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

We wish we had longer at this beautiful home and property! Serene landscape, beautiful horses and cute goats keeping us company. :) Convenient location to many wineries, definitely will be back!

Wonderful location within walking distance to shops, restaurants, a library, a playground, and beach. We loved heading out on foot to grab coffee and walk to the ocean, or to the beach along the canal which was so close and uncrowded. Great shower, washer and dryer in the unit, kind and responsive hosts. The window a/c units in each bedroom provided nice climate control. We were very comfortable and would’ve liked to have stayed longer. There is some road noise at night from the close proximity to 2nd street, and cars must be moved on Thursday/Friday due to street sweeping, but I was able to find parking a few blocks away on 2nd St, so I would suggest doing that rather than looking in the neighborhoods.

This was one of my top AirBnB experiences! I took my family and my in laws to this spot to be close to the Greek Theatre for a concert, but it was such a treat in and of itself! We were super close to great food and a nice part of town, and were less than twenty miles to everything we wanted to see. Took a hike to the Hollywood sign, checked out the Getty Center, and enjoyed the LA scene. We’re from SD, so it was so nice to find a private, lovely part of our sister city. Norvell was an incredible host, very responsive and friendly whenever we had questions. He even left us a gift at check-in! All of the amenities and rooms were as described on the listing, and it was money well spent. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice weekend in LA!

An absolutely beautiful home in a fantastic location. We stayed a week with our family of four at Kate's AirBnB. It was walkable to a lagoon beach, a playground, and restaurants. Parking was very easy. There were always plenty of spots on the street for grandpa and grandma to park. Additionally, Kate's home had a garage which made it easy to load/unload the kiddos. On top of that, Kate made it really easy to check-in and out. It was probably the most seamless transition into/out of a house we've had on the app!

Angela’s place was exactly as described and was very clean and in a great location. The beds were comfortable and we felt right at home. Would definitely stay here again!

Convenient and a lovely! We loved being able to relax around the pool in the afternoon.

Susy’s place was perfect for our needs. Quiet location, great amenities and close to many stores….and of course Disneyland. Susy was a great host, commucated well and had the place ready to go.

Beautiful place, quiet and relaxed. Great conditions for children. No hazards, and safety precautions throughout the property. Great for big families !

My girls and I really enjoyed our stay! Very peaceful atmosphere, exactly what we needed & what we were looking for. Only complaints is we couldn’t experience the waterfall (would have made my daughter’s bday even better) & also the pool heater. This prevented us from using the pool at night (water was cold) we would have LOVED using the pool from morning till night to take full advantage of the beautiful pool but like they mentioned, it’s expensive to maintain, so I def understand.

Our entire family felt very comfortable, safe, and impressed during our entire stay here!! We celebrated my daughter’s birthday….we went hot air ballooning, visited a few wineries, and visited a petting farm with our 6 year old and 3 year old grandsons. We enjoyed the swimming pool and hot tub. We were able to cook all of our meals everyday utilizing all of the kitchen equipment and bbq! I even had room to set up a bar for cocktails for all of us! The ping pong table and pool table was also enjoyed by all! It was a perfect place to have a family get together…7 adults and 2 kids! We discussed celebrating future birthdays (my 80th), thanksgiving dinners, and family milestones and we all agreed that this would be the perfect spot! Hopefully Stephanie will allow us to do these here!!!

I had a very pleasurable experience staying at John’s! It’s amazing with a big group of people because there are so many rooms with huge couch space where you can hang out depending on the vibe. The place was basically spotless and was equipped with all the essentials. John was responsive and was so helpful with any requests. Would highly recommend staying here!

Carmens house was more than I expected. They went on and beyond to make the welcome to my kiddos surprise vacation memorable. Amazing communication. I definitely look forward to staying here on our next vacation!

Great place would stay again
