Very cute

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.

Amenities offered were great. Host was friendly. Only issue was there quite a few ants somehow making there way into the dwelling which made things a bit inconvenient. However, overall not a bad stay.

I really enjoyed my stay here at Bettie Blue. I loved how clean the RV was upon my arrival. You can tell that Atlanta really put a lot of of love and care into the property. It was decorated very well and she thought about the little things that people may need during their stay. I highly recommend anyone looking to stay in a RV book with Atlanta overall 10 out of 10 experience.

Fun way to stay

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.

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 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.

Very clean. Everything functional. Much more fun than a typical apartment or hotel room. Owner is friendly and accommodating, and lives on premises so any issues can be quickly attended to.
