Sober apartments, what?
Who we are & how we got here
We understand the concept may seem out of the norm, but hear us out. We are building a sober community in San Marcos—a place for people in long-term recovery to start their new lives. We all come from very different backgrounds, volunteer our time and talents, and use experience, strength, and hope to carry the message.
The message is that that recovery is possible. Not only can you live this way, you can build a life worth living for.
Meet our team and hear what members have to say.
Welcome to the Vibe!

stephanie—cofounder
Stephanie Ramirez-Pelletier understands the struggle with addiction and is passionate about providing a safe and supportive environment for others in recovery. Stephanie has lost and survived so many things in life. She looks at every new member as a whole person. She understands, at a core level, the struggles associated with mental health and addiction. If she can't help you, she knows someone who can. She has worked in the recovery world for the past decade and has been sober from alcohol for seven years. For her, PTSD therapy, AA, yoga, gyms, art, and DBT therapy are what keep her sober.
Stephanie has had a beautiful career in marketing and design for many years. Quite a few of those years she spent working with and alongside substance abuse centers, inpatient treatment centers, and mental health facilities all over Texas. Two years ago, she left corporate life to start a family-owned business with her children. They are now professional artists painting murals all over Texas. The Vibe is a passion project born from personal loss due to addiction. She is building it with friends and family to bring something needed to San Marcos.
Stephanie strives to see the Vibe become a hub in San Marcos. It has public/community events and a fantastic reputation. It is a place where great people start over with excellent foundations.

des—prop mgr
Des is our on-site property manager. Both of her parents and many loved ones struggled with addiction all around her growing up. Leaving her with a frazzled nervous system and loads to unpack as an adult. She knows all too well the devastation brought by dysfunctional homes and families.
She works hard to ensure the members have a nice place to call home. She and her family bring gardening, chickens, property updates, and more to the VIBE. She manages the maintenance team and assists Anna and Stephanie with the daily on-site tasks.
Her heart is pure gold; we are lucky to have her.

what our
members say...
"I was welcomed with a family -centric vibe with a genuine focus on not just mainstreaming sobriety but enriching the lives of others doing their best. Felt at home and a new level of support."

"This is not your average sober living. The Vibe quickly became the place I am excited to call home."

"For me, The Vibe gives me the opportunity for fellowship in the recovery community without the unpredictability that comes when living with ppl who are not mature in their recovery.
I feel everyone who is here has been drawn together like magnets. Similar souls brought together because of what we have been through and where we are desiring to go."

"When I talked with Stephanie, and she explained the mission of this place ... it resonated with me very strongly. I felt like she was describing my experience perfectly. Detox - rehab - sober house - relapse: check, many times, unfortunately. I knew I had to do something different this time, and moving out to my own place, well, that would have been statistically ill-advised. It is life and death for me at this point. I heard someone say once I may have more relapses in me, but
I don't know how many recoveries I have left."
