Ricky’s place has been a beautiful home to spend time with my family. He goes the extra mile to go above and beyond for his guests. His communication was impecable, and the house, along with the backyard, was amazing. We truly appreciate his hospitality and can’t wait to come back.
The host met us at the house to show us around and give us the keys. The house is well maintained and the kitchen is well equipped. Quiet neighborhood close to the xmas light circle.
6 Adults and 3 toddlers wanted to be near Sesame Place. The house was very convenient to all of our day trips and easy to get back to for kid naps. Our host led us to great fish tacos, as a plus!
The house is fabulous. Ricky was very accommodating, friendly andCommunicative. We really enjoyed our entire stay. We would stay here again without any hesitation. Thank you for everything!
Beautiful house with excellent arrangement, exceeded my expectations, very comfortable with lots of indoor and outdoor space and furniture to allowed us to enjoy the evenings, The host was on top of everything. He was eager to help in any way. Thank you Ricky, we will definitely come back
What a great place for family & friends to gather! Our host Ricky was awesome, very responsive to any issue we had! The rooms were comfortable and so well laid out. The neighborhood was nice, walkable and close to everything. We all had such a great time there together! Thank you Ricky
Casa Sur was a lovely venue to host my mom's 70th birthday party and the perfect home for our extended family to stay. The kids especially loved the bunk room and adults liked being on the other side of the house away from the kids. Ricky Ricardo was a wonderful host with great communication before, during, and after our event and stay. For the party, he set up tables, chairs, a canopy, and provided other amenities for our event like large coffee pot and hot water containers and beautiful mugs. I would definitely recommend Casa Sur Hacienda for an event or just a family vacation. Chula Vista is close to everything in San Diego and Ricky Ricardo is a top notch host!
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!
Very accommodating and cozy place for a family get together. Weather permitting, great back yard for maxing and relaxing by the fire. Host was always in communication if we needed help or just had a question.
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.
This is the second time we've rented Ricky's place for our martial arts seminar. Once again, we had a wonderful experience. Ricky makes everything very easy, and he was available whenever we needed anything. There's lots of space outdoors, which was perfect for us. There's even a large canopy that kept us all of the sun during our all-day seminar. All in all, this an amazing property with an amazing host!
Ricky was very accommodating and his place reflects his charm. We had more than enough space to host dinner with additional family and friends.
Complimentary ear plugs for large groups would have been INSANE
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
My family and I loved the property's decor and location. The owner meet with us and gave us a tour of the property. We would dififfently stay again in the future.
