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!

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!
