I'm Atalanta! I am a florist by trade and work incredibly hard creating beautiful wedding flowers for many happy couples in San Diego! I live with my daughter, my partner Josh and our doggies, Freddie and Luna! We absolutely love spending time in Ocean Beach. It is a part of town that is eclectic and unlike any other part of San Diego! I actually work in my floral studio right next to my house "La Casa Turquesa" and I love being close by to help my guests if needed.
Why they chose this property
I love everything VINTAGE!! I have a 1965 Chevy Corvair convertible that i love to cruise around town with my daughter. Once day I was driving to Sedona, AZ and saw the coolest retro RV's parked at a dealer on the side of the freeway. I became obsessed with these "Retro Riverside RV's"!! I just had to have one! After some searching, I purchased Miss Bettie Blue. She was PERFECT! I loved that she was brand new, sparkling clean and has all the amenities that a person could want! Staying in an RV is a unique and fun experience. I grew up doing this with my parents and I thought it would be so cool to share this experience with other people! Miss Bettie Blue is the perfect way to experience a bit of retro living with all the modern amenities we love when we are traveling.
