Where to begin!! This was my frist time renting an RV and it was just AMAZING. April and Jose had great communication with me and were fantastic at answering all my questions and concerns! They were absolutely wonderful to rent from! The RV came with all the necessity to cook with, chairs and an outdoor rug yay! but my favorite out of all was the fire pit! I'm so happy to have added that on it was the right size for our little adventure! Host provided sheets for beds our friend was very grateful thank you! RV was great to drive, we could tell that the host cares for the rv and that made our trip easier and fun with no worries. If you're looking for your next adventure I recommend these lovely hosts for your next rental as we will definitely look for them again

My family and I had the best time renting one of Oscar’s trailers, the “Serenity Cruiser”. It was only our second time “glamping” and we loved it and can’t wait to book again with Oscar! He was the best host……arrived right on time and set the trailer up for us then 4 days later came to pick it up. It was such a smooth and stress free experience for us. We didn’t have to do a thing! The trailer is new and very clean. It has everything you need and was the perfect size for a family of 4 (boys ages 7 and 4), as well as our 50lb dog! The boys loved the bunk beds. Can’t wait for our next glamping adventure in the future with the Serenity Cruiser😁!!
