We are a retired high school English teacher and a retired rehabilitation counselor. We love exercise, biking, gardening, swimming, and movies. We have a small Maltese-poodle mix dog named Phoebe. She does not shed and is hypoallergenic. We have two rooms available, and have hosted international students for over 20 years. We have two sons and four grandchildren that live locally. One son is a police detective and one is a professional musician and producer. Our oldest son lives in Minnesota and has twins - a boy and a girl. We have the local families over often and enjoy spending time with the San Diego grandchildren (12,16, 2, and 6 months). I am an author and published my first book, Things My Mama Never Told Me, in 2021. I am writing a second book now. We hope you will enjoy your stay with us!

My stay with Nancy and Tom was absolutely wonderful! The room was clean and comfortable, and everything I needed was provided. Tom and Nancy were such warm and welcoming hosts, and they made sure that I had everything I needed for a perfect stay. I will definitely be staying here again!

Tom and Nancy were very kind and understanding in my 5 month stay there. I fully recommend them for anyone looking for a good place to stay.

Everything is perfect for me. I can’t ask for more than one thing
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
