Beautiful transitional homes! But Casa Pacifica is more than just a place to live. It's a place to find a sober sisterhood. In early sobriety, it's so easy and common to feel broken, unloved and overwhelmed. If you're like me, you have to FIND YOURSELF after years of not knowing who you truly are. Casa Pacifica offers an environment that welcomes vulnerability. It's a place where gratitude and meditation are practiced every morning. You will be held accountable and given guidance. House manager Breezy is a true gem and made me feel welcome and appreciated from day one. Casa Pacifica is the best place to discover who you are and who you want to be. At Casa Pacifica, you will NEVER be alone. You will feel safe and loved. Whether your journey is just beginning or you have been bouncing around and trying to maintain a stable lifestyle-living at Casa Pacifica will empower you to reach your full potential. Thank you for everything, Breezy!!!! read more

I was lucky enough to live at Casa Pacifica after my stay in treatment. When I was leaving treatment, I was not thrilled with the idea of going to sober living, but my family thought it was the best path for me to move forward. My brother found Casa Pacifica and spoke with the owner, Laura Winter. After that phone conversation, my brother (who knows me very well) was assured that this was the right place for me. I then spoke with Laura while still in treatment, and my resistance to Sober Living was immediately eased. Even over the phone, I could tell that Laura was kind and compassionate, but more importantly, she was very straightforward and honest. I did not feel like I was being "sold" on something but rather felt like I was being given the opportunity to continue my journey of sobriety in a warm, encouraging environment. I felt a sense of serenity from the moment I entered the house. The environment created by Laura in each home is incredibly welcoming and calming. Not only did I have the opportunity to commune with the women in my house, but we also got together with the women in the other house on a regular basis. We connected in ways that furthered our recovery, but also were able to simply socialize and have fun. The community that exists between both houses is extraordinary. Laura's genuine care for the women in each house is unparalleled in any other recovery community I have been in. This isn't a "customer service" schmoozy type of care, but an authentic concern for each woman. She has been in this industry for a long time and has a natural gift for identifying the unique needs of each resident. Her sincere goal is to guide you to success. I would not hesitate to recommend Casa Pacifica to anyone looking for help in making a transition back to a sober, happy life. read more

I had the pleasure and the opportunity to get sober in Casa Pacifica nearly nine years ago. I came to San Diego with no family and no friends. I was able to build lifelong relationships with the women working and living at Casa Pacifica. The support from Laura, the owner, who didn't give up on me after a relapse truly gave me the strength to change my life. I can't fit my appreciation and gratitude into one review- but I would advise any woman- start your journey here, the care and compassion are unparalleled. read more

This place is one of the best out there. The recovery is strong, the support is incredible, and the people that run the home are amazing.

We are so thankful to Laura Winter and the Casa Pacifica sober residence where our daughter lived for several months. Our daughter had been in many other programs and residential homes and her recent experience at Casa Pacifica has changed her life. She received such kindness, compassion and support for not only her sobriety, but also for who she was as a whole person and any other challenges she was facing. As parents, we were so grateful for Laura's responsiveness to our calls and the insight and guidance she could give to us to help support our daughter. Beth Marr, the house manager went far beyond what we could of expected. In addition to keeping the women safe and the house well organized, she did so much more for our daughter- giving her rides, helping with logistics and calling us if she had any concerns, which was very helpful given that were long-distance. Laura's commitment to believing in women and changing lives is a true gift. read more

I am so grateful to have been a resident at Casa Pacifica! Laura provides a safe and supportive environment that helps to nurture its residents back to a healthy and happy life. I appreciated the structured routines that kept me accountable and enabled me to transition back to a life that is well balanced. The home is beautiful and the love and sisterhood amongst the women is undeniable! I had only planned to stay a month and ended up staying a year! I can not thank Laura and Casa Pacifica enough for what they do...they saved my life and I'll always be eternally grateful! read more

Casa Pacifica saved my sister's life and continues to save hundreds of other women's lives. Laura is one of the most caring, compassionate, and dedicated women that I've ever met. She has a way of connecting with people to understand their struggles and to give individualized help to both the women and their families. She helped me and my parents through this difficult time as much as she helped my sister. The two homes are spotless and nicely appointed. The house managers are professional and supportive, and so are the wonderful group of women that reside there. It's not just a sober living home, it's a full recovery program that truly helps women learn how to live a happy and functional life. Before finding CP, my sister went to two other sober living homes in the area and neither provided the care and support that she got from Laura. If you know someone who is struggling and is looking for help, I highly recommend Casa Pacifica Women. read more

In my original review I left out an extremely important characteristic of Casa Pacifica Womens. The safety and anonymity of the clients are important and respected. The address is not posted in public listings, maps, or online. Many women who seek the support of this environment are victims of domestic violence and abuse. Some have high held positions that could be subject to discrimination, causing further harm. Their safety and well-being must protected as a crucial aspect to their recovery and success. read more

A close friend of mine received a lot of help from Casa Pacifica in her time of need. Laura and team were very pivotal in her road to recovery and we're lucky she found this place when she did. Definitely would recommend! read more

I thought a long time about writing a review but I feel it is important for others looking for a constructive sober living. Unfortunately the personnel that run this house are not honest nor nurturing and kind. There are many rules, as there should be but those rules change and are interpreted by this house manager as whatever suits her agenda, as we experienced. Residents are kicked out of this house suddenly on a weekly basis, with literally no where to sleep that night, and often reasons are made up or really not credible. Many times residents are welcomed back a few days later.... it is all very inconsistent. Rent is not EVER refunded regardless of the excuse for kicking someone out. Drama and gossip are rampant and very destructive. Multiple houses, men's and women's get involved because of the gossiping house manager here And residents are powerless to defend themselves. This house manager, Sanette, lies to families, which I personally experienced as a mother, and creates conflicts between residents and their families. She challenges trust just when residents are trying to build trust with their families. Unfortunately this is a very toxic, dishonest environment for those struggling to succeed. Honesty and transparency are just so important in recovery and this house is deliberately destructive to that growth. The men's house I noticed had some similar reviews. read more

Would move back in if I didn't already have a home and a family. I was fortunate to meet Laura Winter through multiple events before I became a resident in her sober living. Once she gave me a tour of the houses, I knew I was sold. Laura has a passion for recovery and those in it far beyond what is comprehensible to most. She does her best to employ others who have the same caring, loving, compassion that she does. I stayed at Casa Pacifica for 3 months and planned to stay longer, except for a family emergency. On that note, Laura was very understanding and accommodating to my situation. Laura employs women who have had long-term recovery and ensures that their availability, both physical and emotional, is within reach 24/7. Laura isn't in it for the money, she's in it for the recovery. Although I haven't been a tenant for almost a year, we keep in contact regularly. Additonally, I have regular contact with my old house mom as well. I couldn't ask for better follow-up care anywhere!! Thank you Laura and staff and I love you all very much! read more

I have had the pleasure to meet some amazing sober women through this house. Their love and compassion for one another is unparalleled. I was never scared of being judged when sharing and was always given undivided attention. I was given a chance to break free from my same toxic habits and start a new mindset. I will always remember casa pacifica as a prominent part in my sobriety journey. I love all the women I got to live with and all the people who helped me in a very dark place. I learned so many new things, especially from the women in my house, that i will never forget. Casa pacifica will always be in my heart GO TEAM read more

I can only say wonderful things about this establishment. Not only is it a beautiful place to begin your journey into recovery but Laura, the owner, truly has a heart for seeing women's lives healed. I would recommend Casa Pacificia to any women looking for the extra support one needs while getting sober. read more

I have had a few friends stay at this sober living house, and I am speaking on their behalf as I am writing this review. I have seen the people I love struggle with addiction, and when they finally decided to get help, it was so relieving for me. However, my friends ended up at Casa Pacifica, and this place was the furthest thing from "help". This house was toxic for my friends, and full of staff and people who are selfish, gossip constantly, and do not have the people's best interest in mind. My friends were ignored, lied to, and manipulated. I watched my friends get better and healthier, and at first gave Casa Pacifica the credit. But my thoughts quickly changed when I found out about the real immature, and drama-filled house that Casa Pacifica is. The mentors and staff of Casa Pacifica, specifically Sanette, who were at first helpful, were quick to turn their backs on my friends, and betray their trust, when my friends did nothing but try to get better. I am ashamed and disheartened at the staff of this institute, and I do not recommend anyone wanting a safe, uplifting, and supportive environment to go to Casa Pacifica. read more

I felt compelled to write a review about my sober living house that I left recently. At my most vulnerable and difficult time I was greeted at this home with so much support and hope I can't even describe it in words. I was not only dealing with alcoholism but also opiate abuse and an eating disorder. Laura, the owner was there by my side every step of the way. She got me through my living hell like no one else. Thanks to her I'm on my own and still staying sober. Her house was beautiful, clean and bright. Everyone staying at the house was like minded. We all wanted to stay sober! Laura the owner led by example. I will always want what she has! I highly recommend this house. If I could give 10 stars I would! Love Casa Pacifica Women!! read more

I have been fortunate enough to have been at Casa Pacifica for over a year. I came from a sober living in Arizona that didn't care about the individual, and seemed to only care about money. Casa Pacifica is the opposite of this. I didn't want to come back to San Diego, but after being in Casa Pacifica for about a month, I felt safe and actually started to like the city I lived in. I have had the pleasure of living in two Casa Pacifica locations: the one in Del Mar (which is now closed) and the other in Solana Beach. Both houses were run by amazing women who cared about me and my recovery. I connected with women on a level I thought I never would. I met my best friend through Casa Pacifica, and have had experiences I wouldn't trade for the world. Without Casa Pacifica and Laura Winter, I don't know where I would be. Laura knows how to make you feel safe and how to pick people who will help facilitate an environment that will make lasting changes in your life. THANK YOU LAURA AND CASA PACIFICA! read more

Unfortunately when I was reading the yelp reviews, I came across the 2 negative reviews regarding Casa Pacifica. I have experienced numerous Sober Living Homes throughout the United States. Casa Pacifica is perhaps the most professionally run home that exists. Laura Winters is a true professional that deals with the women with compassion and understanding. Women experiencing addiction need to be accountable for their actions and Laura is more than fair. She spells out the rules upon acceptance and this is what holds the addict responsible for their own actions. It is the practice for most homes to ask the resident to leave, if they have not lived up to their agreement of living in sobriety while living in the Sober Home. There are other rules of working and introduction into the real world and how to live a sober life. It is the responsibility of the addict to follow rules. This is life!!! Any woman lucky enough to live in the Casa Pacifica Home has a true chance of living a sober happy lifestyle and getting their life back. This home is above all others. Congratulations Laura!! read more
