Welcome home!
Welcome to The Vibe Recovery Co-Op, a community-driven space in San Marcos where sober living meets real life.
The Vibe was created for people who’ve done the hard work - who got clean, faced their past, and now just want to live again.
Because recovery shouldn’t be lonely, and healing shouldn’t mean hiding from the world.
Our co-op is made up of 20 apartments - a mix of traditional sober living and independent rentals by the room. Every member here, no matter their background, helps keep the community strong. We cook together, plant gardens, paint murals, share skills, and look out for each other.
Some of us are still finding our footing. Some are building businesses, raising kids, or growing food. Some are just trying to breathe easier in a world that moves too fast. What we share is a commitment to staying sober, staying kind, and showing up for each other.
There are no investors or big organizations behind us - just people. Neurodivergent, creative, recovering, hardworking people who believe long term community is the missing piece of recovery.
If you’re ready to live with intention, grow roots, and be part of something real, you might’ve just found your place.
The Vibe: where sober living grows into real living.

recovery collective
700.00-900.00 per mo
Our "Grassroots Recovery Collective" offers shared accommodations designed for individuals committed to sobriety and seeking a supportive, empowering space. Residents share temporary housing while they stabilize financially, with a strong focus on personal growth, mutual accountability, and connection. This model encourages independence while providing the safety net of a like-minded recovery community.
This is a program we host for a local up-and-coming non-profit in San Marcos.

900-1100 mo
If you are in longer-term recovery, you are likely seeking a sense of community, support, a safe home, and a place to start anew. That is precisely what we are building at the Vibe. At this level, you have been sober for a while, can pay your bills on time, and are ready to give back to the community. We understand your rental or background history may be less than favorable, but it's cool. Ours are bad too. Progress before progression-we have your back. By reporting monthly payments and working with UFCU, we aim to help you establish a rental history and set a stable path.

the recovery helpers
900-1000 per mo
The world is much different now than when we first started. San Marcos is limited in recovery resources and or volunteers at times. The truth is, we are all recovering from something, so let's expand our community. These apartments are designed for individuals who require no assistance—people seeking a sense of community and belonging to something bigger than themselves. Do you have a talent or gift you would like to share? Yoga, Art, Recovery Pro, Contractor, Student, Service Work? We are a big community with many moving parts. Want in?
