Breakfast is $3. All plates of food can be delivered to your door by phoning. I eat there a lot!. Also on Friday, Saturday, & Sunday you can just walk down the path a couple of minutes & pick up Pupusas. That is the traditional El Salvadorean food. She sells them 3 for a $1.50. Another place I also go to for food.

*During the 6 months of RAINY SEASON (May to October) we MOSTLY have SUNNY DAYS and if the rain arrives it is around 8 or 9pm at night. It rains for a little while and then stops. Not like San Salvador where they get more rain in the daytime. Sometimes it rain during the day at the end of Sept or November which is when we get the most rain in the year.

The book EXPLORER'S GUIDES, EL SALVADOR wrote that Playa San Diego was the MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH in EL SALVADOR. I agree with them. . TOTALLY FLAT SAND w NO ROCKS.. Can walk for miles in either directions. Many other American, Canadians & Europeans have retired to this beach. I have lived on this beach for 8 years & have always felt SAFE to live & walk the beaches here.

* Also you can choose if you like to walk down the street to get an idea of life in El Salvador or just choose to relax behind the private walls. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

* In the morning cars & bikes are delivering fresh bread, produce, eggs, etc. Around 2 to 4 pm they are delivering sweet pastries to the locals on bikes. Woman walking the beaches selling local jewelry. Beer trucks go by delivering cases of beer or soda. Bikes selling ice cream throughout the day. Playa San Diego is the perfect place to experience El Salvador at it's finest.

*Location is great since it is only 5 minutes from everything you will need in La Libertad. The NEW BEACH WALK ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN has restaurants, tourist center, & large fishing pier to buy your fresh seafood. On Weekends this area comes alive with both the local & tourist that come to dance under the moonlight. Area has become very popular for both the locals & tourist. Police walk this area making sure it is safe for everyone. Across the street is the local market where you will find the locals selling anything you can imagine. Quite an experience for first timers visiting Central America. Also state park named Deininger Park is located about 5 minute drive from house.

*If you care to CALL ME I have a MAGIC JACK U.S. NUMBER that I answer in El Salvador 337-376-7780. ( If no answer, leave a message & I will call you back)

When you arrive we do have one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. We also provide you with 5 large trash bags but you provide the rest during your stay. We provide linens for the beds & large towels. We do usually have filters for the coffee maker.

Fun stay on the beach!

We rented Dianne’s house for 8 nights and had a wonderful stay in El Salvador! The beds were comfy, with plenty of pillows! Well stocked kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Super nice having hot water in two of the showers, and A/C in the bedrooms for sleeping. The house is large, with plenty of comfortable areas to relax, visit, eat, play games, etc. The yard is lovely, with nice tropical plants and trees for shade. We really enjoyed the pool. It is cleaned daily, and is surprisingly cool and refreshing. Overall, we enjoyed the area and the friendly El Salvadoran people. Be prepared to drive slowly on the dusty roads, and to carefully navigate speed bumps and wandering dogs. There is plenty to see and do, and places to eat, both in and out of the neighborhood. We loved visiting several of the Cadejo breweries, and climbing the Santa Ana volcano. You can walk quite far in either direction along the beach, and find bars and restaurants here and there. There is a bit of washed up trash, since no resort clean-up, but the water is warm and clear, the waves are fun, and there is no seaweed. Even on weekends, the beach is not too crowded. Views and sunsets are amazing! Dianne is a wonderful host! She is quickly responsive to needs, concerns and questions. And she is very helpful and friendly, with her priority being that her guests have a terrific stay at her house. Little extras like pool toys, boogie boards, games, etc. were so appreciated! Thank you, Dianne!

Paradise on the Beach

We had a fantastic time at Rancho Cajun. Would definitely recommend. El Salvador is a rising star thanks to El Presidente Bukele and his government. Very friendly people and we felt safe. The pool was clean and refreshing and we enjoyed using the BBQ every day. Access to the beach was amazing. A fond lifelong memory for sure.

Feels just like home.

We have family in el salvador but this was our first time staying at the beach. Our stay was for 3 weeks and I'm glad I chose Rancho Cajun. Dianna was a great host. Everything from the beginning to the end was smooth. No complications or nothing. We felt safe and at home. The location of the house was beautiful. The pictures doesn't do justice. We loved the fact that we had privacy. The care taker doesn't live on the property but when they come to clean, we didn't even know they where there. They where really nice people. Dianna's house was stock with everything I needed. It was our first time staying on the beach in the area but Dianna let us know about everything near by. She also had a book of all restaurants that delivered which was a plus. I can go on and on about my stay. If you are thinking about renting this house, you should. I know I will be coming back to Rancho Cajun in the future. And thank you again Dianna for hosting us in your beautiful home. We and our family there enjoyed our stayed very much. Hope to see you in the future.

Privacy and safety.

My Husband, I and our friend enjoyed Rancho Cajun, the privacy that this Rancho offers to guests it is a gem. There is nobody else on the property except some friendly cats and iguanas! Rancho Cajun is very safe, the street and beach sides gates have padlocks and every door at the house has a way to close and lock while you sleep or go out. Dianne was very helpful in making sure we had all the information we needed for our stay and ensuring a comfortable home for us to enjoy and relax in for the week. By the way, the pictures on this site do not do the home justice; i'ts much nicer in person.

It's a very nice place to enjoy with the whole family and friends.

I had a really good time with my family and really enjoy the beach nice and quiet. The beach is very private no public crowds. Dianne is a very nice, friendly and very respectful person. I will be looking forward to renting the house on my next vacation with my family. The only thing that i would recommend is to fix the hot water in two showers, there is no cold water, only hot water, other than that everything else is fine.

Perfect place to stay for a relaxing and stress free beach vacation

Everything about this home is exactly as pictured. It is spotlessly clean, has super comfortable beds and a fabulous kitchen. We have been to this home multiple times in the last few years and every time we come Dianne has upgraded something! I really can’t say enough about this beach house!

Beyond Amazing!!

Dianne was so helpful and accommodating even before we arrived for our stay. Whatever questions she did not have the answers to, she made sure to find out for us and we greatly appreciated it. The place had exactly what we needed for the 4 days that we stayed. The neighborhood was safe and quit on the weekdays. The neighbors were super friendly and welcoming. I advise bringing lots of bug spray lol The private pool and private beach entrance was just the icing on the cake. Keep in mind the WIFI isn't too great in case you want to work online during your stay. Luckily none of us were there for that so we weren't too bothered lol We will definitely rent this house again when we return for a visit. Thank You so much for everything Dianne!!! :-)

About the host

Hosted by Dianne

Host profile image
I am originally from South Louisiana. In my 20's my son & I made our way to Houston. Worked my first 10 years in sales & marketing in the oil industry. Traveled the world for a few years and then when the oil market dried up in the 80's opened up a real estate company in Northwest Houston for 13 years. After 22 years of Houston decided to move to Florida to live on the ocean . After 6 years living in Florida I moved to El Salvador where house prices & taxes were affordable . I bought me a couple of houses, did some major construction & I have been here ever since. Not an easy task since I don't speak Spanish. Learning Spanish slowly but not as easy as you would think.

I find the people wonderful and so much caring about them. Also living here has made me appreciate how lucky I was to be born in the U.S. where I had been given so many opportunities in life. All I have to do is look around me each day to understand that life could have been so much different if I had been born just a little farther South of the border. The good news is that I get to live on the ocean. Love this country!!

Why they chose this property

This property I bought in 2005 and have gone through all the pain of getting it perfect. I bought it cheap so it did not look anything like it does today. I have added special touches to this house everywhere. When you stay here everyone feels those special little things all around them to give them a real feeling of home. I love what I do and it shows throughout this home that I have built with love for both this house & this country. It has been up for rent for years and has become very popular. I wanted to offer people a special experience while they were staying in El Salvador with as many of the modern conveniences I could for an affordable price. I love Playa San Diego because I feel I can mix with both the locals & the other American & Canadians that have retired here. Also I get tired of speaking in my broken Spanish so off I go for a little visit among friends right down the street. I love the location due to it being so close to both the airport & San Salvador. The other thing I love is the beach here. It is the most beautiful I have seen traveling throughout El Salvador. Also I walk the beaches without fear of anything happening to me. It is a small community and most locals know of each other & if something does happen, everyone knows who did it so it keeps our crime to a minimum. We have a local police station about 10 houses from mine and they patrol on bikes and foot. We also have lights on our electrical post so you can see at night if you are walking or driving. When I get bored or need to shop, all I have to do is take a 5 minute drive to La libertad or 30 minutes to El Salvador. Love the location & convenience to everything. If I had to do it all over again with what I know today, I would still come back and buy in San Diego Playa. I hope you come to my house and enjoy the great experience of El Salvador as I have. The house looks like the photos so no surprises when you arrive.

What makes this property unique

WI FI INTERNET available. *CLOSE to AIRPORT 30 minutes away, San Salvador* & SUPERMARKETS.....A/C IN BEDROOMS.. Satellite cable TV. HOT SHOWERS. A great house for entertaining. COMFORTABLE, CLEAN & QUIET. . KING & QUEEN BEDS with MEMORY FOAM. direct on ocean with a FLAT BEACH and NO ROCKS. FRIENDLY COMMUNITY so you get to experience El Salvador the way it should be. large community with small local restaurants, little convenience stores up and down the streets,& local buses that run every 30 minutes A great place to experience local life at it's best in El Salvador.
