We will be back as soon the summer hits. Walking distance to a beachy peninsular area. Onsite cornhole, chess, & connect four are in the hang area.

We recently spent 3 days / 2 nights in one of the resort's bayfront cottages (there are only six of…read morethese available). The cottage can accommodate up to six guests, but our stay was just for me, my wife, and our wheaten terrier. This review reflects our experience specifically as cottage guests, since those staying in RV spaces may have a very different experience. It was also our first visit to this RV resort, and we did not participate in many of the on-site activities. That said, we truly enjoyed our stay. The resort was very clean, the staff was welcoming and engaging with guests, and we appreciated how dog-friendly the property is. The location is also excellent -- conveniently close to the I-5 freeway, nearby walking and bicycling trails, downtown Chula Vista, and the newly built Gaylord Resort property less than half a mile to the south. While amenities such as the pickleball courts, swimming pool, hot tubs, and putting green looked inviting, we did not personally use them during this visit. We ate dinner at the on-site café both evenings, and every dish we ordered was reasonably priced, generously portioned, and served fresh and hot. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout. We tried the Baja Burger, Fish & Chips, Steak & Frites, Cheesesteak, crinkle-cut fries, pretzel buns, and churros -- all were delicious, and we would happily order them again without hesitation. Our bayside cottage was clean, well maintained, and offered beautiful views of the wildlife preserve between the resort and San Diego Bay. The two-bedroom layout provided more than enough space for us and our medium-sized dog. We especially enjoyed the fire pit, along with the covered first-level patio and uncovered second-level patio facing the bay. Although we didn't use the barbecue grill, it was spotless and clearly ready for guests to use for grilling steaks, burgers, hot dogs, or anything else they wished. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely consider returning for another local staycation.

Amira, JoAnna, Rose, & Diane who manages the groups, all were responsible for making our stay comfortable the entire time.

The folks at the cafe and bar were enjoyable to be around. All's I can say is we are grateful as can be and returning for 2 months next year. The sunrises and incredible sunsets across from Living Coast Nature Center and bay, the 26 mile bike path from the park to Coronado, the neighbors, holy moly what fabulous hood. The vibe and cleanliness of the entire place is far above others we've been to. All of this was topped by a kind gesture made by Modi, one of the cleaning professionals for the cabins, she gave me the star experience. One day I needed a pvt place to join friends during a long distance celebration of life. "Modi" (I hope Im spelling her name correctly,) with ultimate compassion she showed me a quiet spot I could be by myself. Then came back after cleaning the cabin with a cup of tea! I trust she will be rewarded and not reprimanded for extending such consideration and tenderness. Also we lucked out being here for the month and joining the Pleasure-Way owner's annual rally. Being close to trolley allowed us to get around easily with bike or on foot. Fantastic clean new playground near shuttle to Living Coast! The only thing that is missing is a place to put your shampoo and essentials in the showers. All in all our month was a tremendous experience.

We paid $490 upfront for one night of glamping, knowing it was steep but worth it for the convenience. With busy schedules across five families, one night was all we could coordinate. When we arrived at the Ranger station, I was told we weren't on the list for Saturday night. Instead, my name was marked as a no-show for the previous night. I showed my reservation confirmation, but the Ranger explained the tents were run by a third party and gave me the owner's number. My calls went to voicemail. Hipcamp's customer service didn't respond. Eventually, Andy--the owner--called back. Turns out, Andy had double-booked our tents and claimed the other guests were already settled in--even though we arrived before check-in. He had no backup accommodations to offer. I was stunned. We had packed cars with food, clothes, firewood, and supplies. This trip had been planned for six months. I had to call two other moms mid-drive and tell them to turn around. We scrambled to find two hotel rooms so the girls could still have a mini reunion, but it was more expensive and nowhere near the experience we'd envisioned. To top it off, Andy asked me, "Haven't you ever made a mistake?" That's not how you handle a business error that disrupts five families' plans. This wasn't a simple mistake--it was a complete failure in communication, accountability, and customer service. Think twice before booking with The Holidays.

Great camp spot that overlooks the ocean with a nice walking path down to the beach. $12 USD/ 250 pesos a night. The beach wasn't crowded and is a great beach to hangout at. Nice sized waves for surfing too. We got there on a Thursday and there were only a few only people camped there-- we could choose anywhere to park our car. It did get pretty busy by noon on Friday. Get here early if you are coming on a weekend! Lots of surfers in the water on the weekends as well. There is communal shower area and bathrooms which were both clean. Bring your own TP and soap. The only downside of this camp ground was the trash (or sewage) smelled really bad and would waft through the air. There was also a lot of trash on the ground (cig buds and beer cans) but besides that we really enjoyed this spot and would definitely stay here again. Also, great margs and live music on Thursday nights at the hotel. You can walk their from the beach.
