About the host
Hosted by Vacation Rentals By Kimberly
Hi! I'm Kimberly and I am the founder of Vacation Rentals by Kimberly. I started VRBKIM over 10 years ago as a way to work remotely while raising my three boys as a single Mom. Our company specializes in short term stays (less than 29 nights in length) at the beach in San Diego. I was born and raised locally here in San Diego, and many of the VRBKIM Team was too! Most of the all female VRBKIM staff comes from the Hospitality Industry, so we know what it takes to make our customers happy. We are so elated that you are considering one of our homes for your visit to San Diego! If you choose this home, we promise to do all we can to provide you a 5 star stay! Thanks for considering us!
