About the host

Hosted by Kevin Kuerbis

Host profile image
California born and raised and proud to call San Diego my home. My father is aSan Diego native and our family has been here since the 1920's.

Why they chose this property

I have dreamed of owning a house at South Mission Beach as long as I can remember. Being an avid surfer and beach volleyball player probably has a little to do with that. So, when this house was listed for sale, I did everything I could possibly do to acquire it. I look forward to sharing it with my family and friends as well as yours for years to come.

What makes this property unique

The roof top deck is a nice place to lay in the sun with a little more privacy than the beach. The boardwalk that goes all the way up to Pacific beach is just outside my door and I have always seen something entertaining or unusual while walking or riding a bike on the boardwalk.
