We stayed on a Friday and Saturday as we were on a mission to build a home in Mexico. House was perfect and Ricardo was a great host. Very prompt with attention and details that helped our stay to be comfortable and memorable. I would highly recommend his home.

Great spot for large gatherings!
This is an excellent place if you're looking to hold a large gathering. Ricky is such a good host, and he'll go out of his way to make your stay comfortable. For example, on Saturday night, someone in the neighborhood was playing very loud music. A quick text to Ricky, and he was on his way to speak to them about turning down the music. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!

Good stay
Ricardo is a great host and has a great property. He is very responsive and easy to communicate with. He pre-approved that we host my bridal shower at his property with pre-approved rules and an event fee. There were no issues. One night we were to loud and he nicely texted me to turn down our music. The house has a lot of decor and is very cluttered. The decorations are beautiful but it was a little overwhelming to me. Additionally, Ricardo stayed in a small office space behind the back gate so it felt like there was a lack of privacy in the backyard. Overall, we had a great stay!

Great place for a gathering!
We stayed here for a weekend and hosted a baby shower with our friends and family. What a great house for a get-together! We were able to seat at least 20 people at the outdoor tables. The shade over the table kept us comfortable during the day and the party lights were so festive at night. People played ping pong out in the yard and the kids had lots of room to run around. Ricky even had ice chests available for us. The whole indoor/outdoor set-up was great. Ricky told us all about the house when we got there and was available to text during the stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Uncomfortable Stay
Uncomfortable stay as we were notified at the walk through the last occupants blasted the Air Conditioning system and caused electrical overload, but weather should be cool rnough not needed. All the members of tje group were uncomfortable especially in evening. Had ants in 2 of the bedrooms and some on kitchen counter. Loud music played by next door neighbor on one night and music and shouting by people at 1am on 3rd night at different adjacent residence with our windows open (no AC) made it difficult to get to sleep. If we would have bee informed there would be no AC during our stay before we arrived, we would have almost assuredly cancelled and got hotelrooms. Nice place, for larger group not such a quiet relaxing getaway considering no AC and inconsiderate neighbors

warm and comfortable
Ricky met me at the door and gave me a tour of the home even though I was a few minutes late. He was kind and gracious. The home was warm, comfortable, and clean, and it was obvious he had spent a great deal of thought and time decorating it. It was centrally located to groceries, coffee shops, etc. All 7 of us enjoyed our time there with no complaints whatsoever. I would recommend this home to anyone who wants a home that is both reasonably priced and at the same time fully accommodating.

Great group spot
We had a wonderful stay at Ricardo’s property. It was just like the photos and description online. Plenty of space as we were there for a family reunion. Loved the outdoor dining and hang out spaces. All the rooms were beautifully equipped and we didn’t feel like anything was missing that we needed. Would definitely love to stay again - perfect for families or group of friends!

Group of 12
Our stay was perfect at this beautiful home. It worked out perfectly for a group of 12, it had plenty of room between inside and outside. The only negative is that the WiFi didn't work all the time, it could've been because multiple people were on it at the same time, I'm not sure but the host did reply back to messages about it and did try to help get it resolved. I would reserve this home again.

Great and comfortable stay in a beautiful home!
Ricky’s home is so beautiful. There’s lots of decor everywhere. It was such a beautiful and cozy place to host my cousin’s bachelorette. There was enough space for us to sit, eat, play games, and lounge. My favorite part was the meditation room and backyard. I love all the pillows and comfy furniture. Although the weather wasn’t the best, we still enjoyed the house. The beds were very comfortable; it was enough bathrooms for all of us. We appreciated the towels and toiletries provided. Also there were many helpful kitchen items - plates, mugs, coffee, salt, utensils, etc. Ricky was super easy to communicate with and responded usually within 5 minutes. He also was very flexible with checking in and out. We also loved that there was plenty of parking space in the driveway and street. It did take us some time to get from the house to the places we wanted to go (pacific beach, downtown) so just plan your itinerary in advance and accordingly. Also remember there’s traffic depending on when and where you are going. Checkout was super easy. We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay and Ricky was very easy to communicate with. The house was beautiful. So many plants and so many colors. We did have several little kids and there were a lot of breakable things. We would've taken that into consideration. But it was a wonderful house and area. Very close to a grocery store, quiet neighborhood. We were grateful to be there!
