About this property

Retro Bettie- Unique glamping RV adventure

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!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Atalanta

Host profile image
I'm Atalanta! I am a florist by trade and work incredibly hard creating beautiful wedding flowers for many happy couples in San Diego! I live with my daughter, my partner Josh and our doggies, Freddie and Luna! We absolutely love spending time in Ocean Beach. It is a part of town that is eclectic and unlike any other part of San Diego! I actually work in my floral studio right next to my house "La Casa Turquesa" and I love being close by to help my guests if needed.

Why they chose this property

I love everything VINTAGE!! I have a 1965 Chevy Corvair convertible that i love to cruise around town with my daughter. Once day I was driving to Sedona, AZ and saw the coolest retro RV's parked at a dealer on the side of the freeway. I became obsessed with these "Retro Riverside RV's"!! I just had to have one! After some searching, I purchased Miss Bettie Blue. She was PERFECT! I loved that she was brand new, sparkling clean and has all the amenities that a person could want! Staying in an RV is a unique and fun experience. I grew up doing this with my parents and I thought it would be so cool to share this experience with other people! Miss Bettie Blue is the perfect way to experience a bit of retro living with all the modern amenities we love when we are traveling.

What makes this property unique

You will fall in Love with Miss Bettie Blue! Experience a unique, vacation in this mobile tiny home with all the amenities you'll need to enjoy yourself. We have a long list of recommendations of what to see and do in San Diego. Our goal as your hosts is to make sure you have as much fun in San Diego as we do!
