Recent Santa Monica RV rental reviews
Mary was incredibly helpful and accommodating! She was able to help us when our previous rental cancelled on us the day before we planned on celebrating our Dads 60th. She could not have been kinder or more generous. She was quick with her responses and answered every question I had. The RV was clean and in perfect condition! We can not wait to rent with her again!

We took our kids and grand kids camping in the upper Mammoth area. It was an amazing trip! Mary helped make our trip special. She is very kind, professional and accommodating! The motor home was everything as advertised. It was clean and stocked with everything we needed. Tony and Oscar were also both very helpful and thorough in showing the RV and explaining the operation of the RV. Thank you for a stress free experience. We highly recommend them and will rent again from them.

Oscar was a wonderful host. Quick and easy communication. The trailer was nice. We rented it mainly for the purpose of my elderly father to have his own space to rest as needed for his family reunion camping trip. The steps were very sturdy and one of the reasons I chose this trailer. The main bed was too tall for him, so we made the dinette area his bed and it worked out.
