San Diego Host Steps Up to Help California Wildfire Victims
When tragedy strikes, the power of community shines brightest. One of our own San Diego STR hosts has stepped up in an incredible way, opening their home to families displaced by the recent devastating wildfires in Southern California. Their generosity is a testament to the impact short-term rental owners can have in times of crisis.
With so many affected by these disasters, offering shelter isn’t just about providing a place to stay—it’s about restoring hope and security. This story is a powerful reminder that as STR owners, we have unique opportunities to make a difference, whether through offering discounted stays, community outreach, or simply being a reliable resource for those in need.
We’re proud to see members of our STR community using their homes for good. Let’s continue finding ways to support one another and give back. Check out video here.
