About the host
Hosted by Josh Huddleston
Welcome! My wife and I have designed and built themed vacation rentals near Downtown San Diego. Our family and small team focused on hosting large groups for special occasions. The process started in 2016 with a hotel conversation during 2020-2023. With ups and downs along this journey, we finally created spaces and rentals that guests love. Thank you so much for the support and we are excited to host you.
