Aubrey and Brad
Hi, we're Aubrey & Brad — a husband and wife duo based in San Diego with our two huskies. Aubrey spent 11 years in the Navy traveling the world and flying helicopters. Her passion for interior design and creating beautiful experiences eventually brought her home and into the world of short-term rentals. Brad is a man of many talents — from running a yoga studio and working as a flight instructor, to running the bar on a catamaran and helping Aubrey rehab houses. Together, we own a boutique short-term rental management company and interior design business. We hope you have an incredible stay. ♡
