Flashback family fun at the Retro RV Adventure! Glamp in style in Bettie Blue!

Your retro escape is centered between the Laguna Hills and the coast of San Diego, in sunny East County. Glamp in style in the new 2019 Retro Riverside trailer. This camper is set up with all the modern amenities and with the quaint mid-century modern design of a teardrop trailer. The trailer sleeps 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 small children. You will have 1 designated parking spot available to you.

The Space
Welcome to Bettie Blue Retro Retreat which is tucked away on a lush east county hillside. It is located next to our other retro trailer Darling Daisy. Our ultra-comfortable Queen walk-around bed sleeps two, and the kitchen table converts into a compact twin-size fold-out bed that can sleep one small adult or two small children. It has approximately 150 square feet of cozy living space.

Bettie is the blue trailer and resides next to our other vacation rental trailer Darling Daisy. There may be guests staying in Daisy during your stay, so please be careful only to use your designated parking spot and yard area to prevent disturbing other guests who are in close proximity. When checking into the RV please be mindful of noise and be respectful of other guests in close proximity.

Miss Bettie is fully equipped with a dining area, a bathroom, and a VERY SMALL shower and bathroom, as well as a refrigerator and freezer, ice-cold A/C, high-speed Wi-Fi, TV with Amazon Firestick, DVD, and stereo. The kitchenette is stocked with a coffee maker that brews with pods or ground coffee (we only provide tea and coffee pods), a microwave, a toaster oven, and basic kitchen needs like cups, plates, a wine opener, and silverware. In the bathroom, we provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash as well as hand soap and a starter pack of paper towels in the kitchen (guests are responsible for additional paper towels for stays exceeding 5 days). We also provide bath towels and RV toilet paper that is made specifically for our RV plumbing system.

Outside the trailer, you will find a gorgeous sitting area where you can lounge by the propane firepit and enjoy the view. Grill out some steaks on the BBQ or roast some marshmallows over the firepit while you lounge on your personal patio.

Guests who are staying more than 5 days will be responsible for providing themselves with any additional products such as coffee, paper towels, and trash bags. There are local grocery stores nearby where you can purchase what you may need. Note: The hosts will provide you with RV toilet paper throughout your stay.

As your hosts, we're committed to providing everything you need for a wonderful stay. We want you to have as much fun in San Diego as we do! We LOVE making recommendations on where to go and what to do in San Diego so please don't hesitate to ask! Please click on the photo of Host Atalanta to see all the other Ambition Home Collective properties!

Guest Access
The property is meticulously maintained, and the interior is professionally cleaned, disinfected, and sanitized, and checked before each guest. We provide a welcome book for you which should answer most of your other questions. Check-in and check-out are simple; an email will be sent a few days before your arrival with detailed instructions. Unfortunately, due to high demand, turnover, and our standard of cleanliness, we are unable to provide late check-out.

The trailer is located off a quiet street with quick freeway access. We are located on a private road and offer a designated parking spot directly next to the trailer and ample street parking for any additional vehicles.

There is a smart lock on the trailer, and we will send you all the entry codes and detailed instructions in the check-in email.

We are a 25-minute drive from San Diego International Airport and Sea World, 25 minutes from Downtown San Diego, and the San Diego Zoo. You can find out about all our favorite places on our website which we will send to you upon booking. Our goal is to help you have as much fun in San Diego as we do!

Other details to note
*** For extended family/friends

This is a private residence with two RVs and a tiny home on the property. The owners live in a private residence, and you may come into contact with them. Our two other rentals are available on the same property and are just a short distance from one another. Darling Daisy is a retro-style camper next to Bettie that sleeps 4 people and is a perfect blend of vintage style and modern amenities. Keep in mind that there may be guests staying in Darling Daisy during your stay.

We have a few more rental options located in Ocean Beach and North Park which is 25 minutes east of the coast. In Ocean Beach we have Green Door Cottage by the Sea. It sleeps up to 4 people and is dog friendly. North Park Melody in the heart of North Park sleeps 6 people. Click on my profile photo to see all these listings. Please contact me for more info and I’m happy to send you a link to those listings.

- For stays over 7 days, we provide a starter kit only of paper towels, trash bags, linens and coffee/tea. Alberton’s grocery store is located 5 minutes away for you to gather more supplies once you run out


- You are able to utilize the outdoor areas located directly outside of the RV but cannot utilize the outside area of the private residence.

• Parking is available for 1 small car- large trucks or long vehicles may not fit and will need to find street parking.

• There are no parties allowed in the trailer or yard. Max occupancy for trailer or yard is 4 people.

• Quiet time is 9 PM to 9 AM

• There is no use of the stove in the trailer but a microwave and toaster oven are available.

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.

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.

We had the very best stay and could not get over how efficient the owner was at making sure we knew how to use this retro RV. It was beautiful, clean and close to the beach. It surpassed all of our expectations!!

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.
