Hello, Gail and Mike were so accommodating from arrival to departure. Property was so inviting and relaxing to stay at, Air conditioning was superb, 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach and less than 10 minute walk to malecon, if you’re without wheels this is the place to stay just just pack a pair of comfortable shoes, Cheers Don

Absolutely Loved Staying here!
My husband and I absolutely loved this place! The location was so perfect; just across a street over was the beach. The Airstream was so cozy too, and had all the amenities we needed. The best part was having our 12 year pup with us, and this place had it fully prepared for him. Michael, thank you for taking care of us and showing us around. We can't wait to come back, soon!

Everything we hoped it would be!
The trailer is every bit as advertised, and feels like more. Right across the street from the beach, walking distance to town, stove and fridge to go with the microwave. Mike and Gail are excellent hosts, and when he found out it was our first visit to San Felipe Mike even took us on a quick tour of the town. We were very comfortable the entire stay.

Good Location
Our stay was really good, the place is in a very good location, close to the Main Street but far away to have minimal traffic. They let us stay with our two dogs, which we really appreciated. I recommend you staying here.

A great sray
We can’t comment on trailers as we upgraded and moved across the street to one of their condos. We did see in the trailers and they were as as advertised. The condo was great. Very private with 3 Terrazas. One of the was a large roof top which we enjoyed using.. we definitely recommend this rental.

New Year's Visit
The property was as advertised. Nice, well maintained property. We were greeted by the host upon arrival and given a tour of the town. The trailer was small but cozy. One big selling point was the kitchen which served our purpose but lacked some basic items like a lime squeezer and large bowls...we were making ceviche. I would also recommend that they put in a bbq/grill so better use could be made of the outside seating area. The nearby beach was very nice and the walk to town not so bad....the shortest route required walking by an abandoned night club and across a derelict Bridget.

Great time in San Felipe
We had a wonderful time, we ended up staying in a larger condo close to the beach. Mike and Gail are wonderful hosts and we even ended up adopting a dog from them. This was our first time in a San Felipe and we will definitely be back All their properties are beautiful a lot of very personal touches and artwork.

I didn’t end up going on the trip but they agreed to give me a mostly complete refund despite that I was cancelling so late, Gail and Michael are definitely awesome hosts and really want to cater to their customers.

Tidy, cozy place with a very sweet friendly dog to greet you!
Great trip, loved it all. Yard is well kept and walking distance to beach and downtown. Micheal and Gail are very helpful. All went well. Advise to older folks who may rent this cozy cabin, you can only exit from one side of the bed, so if you have to get up in the night, and your on the inside, know that you will have to wake your partner to get up as well.

Very comfortable and close to beach
The camper was great. Michael added a full bathroom so the space had 1.5 bathrooms. It was very cozy and perfect for a quick getaway when you want to be on the beach but not necessarily in a tent. The beach has rock outcropping on both the north and south side so it feels secluded. Very family friendly beach where you can also drink beer and play your music. Would definitely return!

Comfort and Relaxation at it's Finest!
Michael and Gail were very welcoming and friendly. The airstream was even better than I expected. Very clean, comfortable and offered ample room, especially with the addition of that wonderful full restroom. What a treat! Location is perfectly tucked away from town, but close enough to walk to it. You can access the beach and come back to refresh your drink without dreading the walk. Super secured and safe. I will definitely be returning and will miss Sasha and Lily (cutie pups).
