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!

Lovely Holiday in La Libertad

We (4 adults, and 3 children) had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home this past March Break. We found Jackie and her staff to be excellent-the food was wonderful and the house was cleaned from top to bottom everyday. We spent most of our time between the pool and the ocean, both at our doorstep. We loved the privacy and not having to fight for loungers or space on the beach. The people were all very friendly and helpful. We have definite plans to go back!

Hi Dianne, it was a pleasure spending time with my family at your property "Cajun Ranch" beach house.

The Rancho Cajun house is perfectly located on a gorgeous wide and empty beach and 10 mn from La Libertad so access to restaurants and supermarkets was very essy. The house had all amenities required the kitchen is well equipped. As for the owner, Diane, she was so easy to deal with, helpful and so friendly,. She made sure our stay was nothing less than TERTIFIC. Don't look elsewhere, Her place is the place to stay at. We will for sure return there. Thanks again Diane.

The Photos Didn't Lie - Part Two

Here it is only 1 week since returning to FL and I'm already reserving Rancho Cajun again for a family celebration of my daughter's 40th this year. The kids and grands are so excited to be returning to Playa San Diego! Although well situated for guided or self-drive sightseeing, the beach and pool kept the kids on the property all weekend. I have a feeling visit #2 is not going to be the final one. Dianne and her staff are so helpful, and the home so gorgeous, this may well be our "Go To" spot for years to come.

Best place ever for a getaway

I decided to take a chance and plan a family vacation during these uncertain times. I wanted somewhere tropical, on the beach and with a pool. I was pleasantly surprised to check off everything on my list at Playa San Diego, Rancho Cajun. Dianne is such a wonderful detailed hostess, the front / backyards and pool were cleaned daily, the home is very spacious, each bedroom has it's own bathroom which was a total plus for me. Dianne makes sure that her guests know where the local restaurants are, and when vendors come and sell fruits, vegetables and breads in the street. All of the locals are so nice, you will really feel comfortable. If you are ever planning a trip to beautiful El Salvador, Dianne's home is the place to stay, I can't wait to go back!

Amazing place to stay

We recently stayed at this property for Semana Santa and had an amazing time. The property was wonderful and private and very well taken care of. All we did was hang by the pool and take a dip in the ocean, and that was all we needed. Jackie and Antonio were fantastic, helpful, and very friendly. We ran out of gas and Antonio was at our house and back with more gas within 30 minutes. He also helped us get a taxi to get into town (the taxi driver was awesome and hilarious as well). We got seafood from Jackie and it was fantastic and cheap. I hope I can come back to this house with my friends again some day soon. The price was great, and the location was as good as it gets. Thank you so much Dianne, Jackie, and Antonio!

The Photos Didn't Lie - Gorgeous !

There's not a lot that's not been said before - but this is a truly wonderful beach break destination, especially for larger family or friend groups. Perhaps the one feature I appreciated most was being able to lounge in A/C comfort while the grandkids splashed in the pool. Having the entire west wall of glass doors made keeping a (casual) eye on the kids, without being intrusive, and enjoying the beach scene a snap. Owner Dianne's artistic vision is a delight, and her staff most attentive without intruding. Do hire the staff, and have pre-arrival shopping completed, for a truly carefree time. Although we had a van, this house is possible with airport transfers and the housekeepers' managing shopping. Hoping to return with my Guatemalan family.

THIS HOUSE IS AWESOME!!

I traveled to El Salvador from Texas on September 4-6 and I cant even complain once. Dianne was amazing. We communicated through email up until the day I arrived and she was so accommodating. Her staff is amazing. Martha who cooks and cleans was such a sweet person and her cooking was so good. and Edwin the manager was always making sure we had everything and made us feel very comfortable. It was our first time travelling to the country in 20 years and we were just so astounded by the beauty. The beach is just outside the backdoor and its so beautiful. We had a lot of fun on the pool and enjoying Martha's cooking on our last day. Only complaint or regret I have is that we didn't stay longer. We had other places to visit and our stay was cut short. Thank you Dianne and your awesome staff for everything!! You made our trip one we will never forget. We will definitely be booking again here soon!

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.

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.
