    We fell in love with the small town feel of Ocean Beach! We were a short walk from the beach and the property was adorable! We will be back!

    This place was so fun! I loved having a beachy weekend where I could see my SD friends without staying with them. The trailer was perfect and the location is convenient to everything in Ocean Beach. I was concerned that the airport noise would be a problem, but I turn up the fan on the trailer and it was the perfect white noise. There were cookies, water and coffee all prepared, too. Lots of signs on how to operate everything so no need to do a walk-through with Atalanta if you don’t want to take the time. She’s lovely though!! And even though the trailer is in her backyard, I felt like there was adequate privacy. If you’re looking for a slightly unconventional weekend, in a very bohemian town, you’ll love this place.

    Great experience. I use to do a lot of RV camping so I was used to this sort setup. The small RV was very tastefully decorated. The bed was super comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. Communication with host was quick and responsive. Atalanta was amazing. Thank you.

    This camper is all charm. As expected, it is really small especially the bathroom. This is a perfect option if you just need a cute clean and overall comfortable place to sleep. Hosts are great and the stay was really pleasant.

    Worked well for what it is. Small space as advertised. Cute, clean and comfortable. Outdoor patio area is a nice addition to that space. Great location to access beaches and downtown. Two night stay with one adult and two kids. Host was friendly and quick to respond via email. Would stay there again.
