Small Business Saturday is Near – Let’s Support San Diego

Small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities. From unique local experiences to personal touches, they shape how we live, travel, and connect with others. This is especially true for short-term rentals, which allow guests to find homes that perfectly meet their needs and hosts to share what our city offers.
As Small Business Saturday approaches, we ask you to stand with us and ensure that short-term rentals—essential small businesses in San Diego—continue to thrive.
At the San Diego Short-Term Rental Alliance (SDSTRA), we’re working tirelessly to protect these spaces from restrictive policies and misinformation that could limit your options for local, authentic stays. With your support, we can safeguard this vital part of our community.
Here’s how you can make a difference:
