About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are Andrea & Jared, San Diego natives and high school sweethearts turned registered nurses — both passionate about caring for people, on and off the clock. With years of caring for others, we’ve learned that comfort and kindness go a long way. Having stayed in plenty of vacation rentals ourselves, we’re dedicated to making your visit feel like a true home away from home —cozy, warm, & welcoming.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to Ocean Beach (OB) 92107— San Diego’s most down-to-earth, eclectic beach town! Here you’ll find surfboards on porches, friendly neighbors walking their dogs to the beach, and that perfect mix of chill and charm. Newport Avenue is the heart of OB, lined with quirky shops, vintage stores, coffee spots, and some of the best tacos and burgers in town. Don’t miss the Wednesday Farmer’s Market with live music, local art, and ocean breezes. And of course — the sunsets at Sunset Cliffs are legendary.

What makes this property unique

Our home has been in our family since 1942, lovingly passed down through multiple generations. We recently completed a full remodel in 2023—a true labor of love—to blend the charm of our family home with the comfort and style that today’s travelers expect.

What truly sets our listing apart is the personal touch. We don’t outsource management or use third-party companies; when you message us, you’re speaking directly with us—the owners—who live on the property and deeply care about every detail of your stay. As a husband-and-wife registered nurse duo, we spend our professional lives caring for people, and we bring that same level of attentiveness, warmth, and hospitality into hosting. Your comfort, wellbeing, and happiness genuinely matter to us, and we take pride in creating a space that feels thoughtful, clean, and welcoming from the moment you arrive.
