Built by an engineer, not a guru.
I'm a hardware product design engineer with 12 years in tech. I bought a short-term rental in San Diego, hit Superhost in year one, and built systems that keep it running at a 4.96★ rating.
This site is where I share the spreadsheets, templates, and guides I wish I had when I started.

"Absolutely Amazing. If I could give more than five stars I would. We were a family of 5 adults and two kids. The house had all the amenities, beautifully decorated, clean, plenty of space, and GREAT LOCATION."
Danielle
"We were shocked that there were toys and baby spoons, cups, and plates available for use. Even a high chair and bathtub were available. The backyard was the best feature. The heated pool was great for soaking during the chilly evenings."

"This house is beautiful, clean and looks even better than the pictures. One of the rooms was hidden behind a bookshelf and the kids thought that was epic. My favorite part was the location, everything was 10 minutes away."

"Our family loved the modern, Boho feel and decor. It's the perfect home if you have small children because there was a high chair, kitchen ware, books and toys available for them. We absolutely loved the backyard!"

"The mural on the wall is gorgeous, we took pictures there. Beautiful outdoor patio with bbq and you can walk barefoot on the artificial grass which was amazing!"
