& Pricing Strategy
Dynamic pricing, market monitoring, minimum-night strategy, seasonal adjustments, event pricing, last-minute discounts, and ongoing human oversight, not just software running on autopilot.

& Property Care
Turnover coordination, linen and supply management, quality checks, regular property inspections, and local eyes on the home to catch issues before they become bigger problems.

Vendor coordination, repair estimates, owner approvals when needed, damage documentation, guest damage claims, smart locks, noise monitoring, and practical systems to protect the home.
Owner Reporting
& Local Support
Monthly owner statements, transparent reporting, trust-accounting principles, local regulatory awareness, and direct access to a real San Diego-based team.
Who We’re Best For
We work best with San Diego-area homeowners who want a local, hands-on management partner, not a set-it-and-forget-it manager or a large national company.
Second-Home Owners
You want income when you’re not using the home, without sacrificing property care, owner use, or peace of mind.
Owners Switching Managers
You want better communication, more attention to detail, stronger performance, and a local team that treats your home like it matters.
Small Multi-Unit Owners
You need reliable systems for cleaning, guest communication, maintenance, pricing, and reporting across multiple rentals.
Self-Managing Owners
You’ve built the listing, but you’re tired of guest messages, pricing decisions, cleaner coordination, and last-minute issues.
Pricing Is Where Great Management Pays for Itself
We combine dynamic pricing tools with local market judgment to adjust rates, minimum stays, discounts, and calendar strategy throughout the year.

Meet the Founders
Hi! We’re Jake and Nancy, the husband-and-wife duo behind Lodge & Leisure Vacation Rentals. We’re based in sunny San Diego, where we’ve been raising our family and soaking up the coastal lifestyle for over a decade. Hosting is more than a business for us — it’s our way of sharing the laid-back, welcoming spirit of Southern California living with others.
Our homes are thoughtfully curated and geared toward families and friend groups alike — clean, comfortable, and full of little touches to make you feel right at home. Whether you're here to relax, reconnect, or explore, we aim to create spaces that help you make lasting memories.
We’re also outdoor enthusiasts who love to hike, soak up the sun at local beaches, play tennis and volleyball, and discover new corners of the city — especially the best food spots. If you ever need a rec for surf breaks, scenic trails, paddleboard coves, coffee shops, or fish tacos, just ask. We’re always happy to share our favorite local gems!
