Welcome to our homestay! Our family loves to travel and host international guests. Our two adult kids live in San Diego. We are brand new grandparents!

Wes is a pastor at a local church and police chaplain. Aimee is a health coach, and we both work at Chick-fil-A in Chula Vista.

We love interacting with our homestay guests. If you are here to learn English, great! We watch TV with subtitles. Please join us.

Our 5-bedroom 3-bath spacious home was recently remodeled, so all the carpet is new, the kitchen is upgraded, the back patio is renovated, and we added on a huge family room. Our dining room table seats 14, and we love to host special events. Our family loves to play games. We'll teach you a few new ones :-)

We provide light breakfast foods, and you are responsible for your own lunch, dinner and snacks. Aimee makes homemade healthy granola and delicious banana bread almost weekly to share. We have an extra refrigerator in the garage that you will share with other homestay guests, and our kitchen is always available for you to cook for yourself (or for us - LOL).

We have a lovely backyard garden patio where we eat meals and relax when the weather is warm. My son and his fiance have been working on creating a beautiful succulent/cactus garden in the backyard. You can enjoy the view from Aimee’s recently built She Shed made from old doors. It’s really “adoorable”!

You will find our home quiet and peaceful, yet full of energy with friends and family who like to visit.

There is a gym just 2 miles away that costs about $25 per month - Crunch Gym - plus a popular running path near our house around the Bonita Golf Course.

The public bus is a 10-minute walk, and the bus takes you to the trolley and into Downtown San Diego (centre city), Old Towne, Mission Valley, East County, and now La Jolla.

Citrus trees that produce fresh fruit all year are scattered around our yard. You will enjoy fresh oranges, lemons, and limes plus berry vines.

There is a reason San Diego is called America's Finest City, and showing off this fine city is something we do with our homestay guests. We have kayaks and love the ocean and San Diego Bay. Hiking is one of our favorite things to do in and around San Diego. You can join us anytime for a hike or kayak trip.

We don't have any pets, nor do we accept any homestay guests with pets, even though we know they are part of your family. Both of our adult kids have dogs, and they come to visit on occasion.

Please reach out and ask us any questions you may have about our homestay, our family, or our fine city.

We have completed a background check and have a “clear status” from the Government Watch List search, the DOJ search, and the CA-San Diego County criminal search.

We get many requests to stay in our home. If you book a few months in advance, we might ask you for a $300 non-refundable deposit to hold the room. When you show up for your scheduled homestay, we will take that amount off of your rent.

It would be our joy and delight to have you stay with us.

Wes and Aimee Anderson

About the Area

Our house is located on the north side of the city in a quiet and safe suburb. We are 10 miles from the city centre (we call it downtown San Diego) and only 15 minutes from the airport. The bus stop is a 10-minute walk from the house, which connects to the trolley. There is a golf course down the street with a 3-mile exercise path that we use on a regular basis. A shopping mall is near our house just 2 miles away.

House Rules

The rules are simple. Since your bathroom is a shared bathroom plus the guest bathroom for our friends to use when they visit, we require you to keep that clean and picked up daily. You have access to the kitchen and please clean up immediately. You are responsible for your own food. We all share one washer and dryer, so be courteous. Your friends are allowed to visit but not spend the night. No drugs are allowed, including marijuana.

The most important “rule” is that you immediately let us know if something is bothering you. We want your homestay experience to be the best it possibly can be, not only for you but for all of us living in the same house together :-)

Smoking Rules

Your host is a non-smoker.

Smoking is allowed outdoors only.

    This family will make you feel home from the first second. I stayed with them for four months and it was a main reason for why my time in San Diego was that special.
    Aimee and Wes went out of their way to help with multiple issues (e.g. bureaucracy/car) and are just very nice people.
    If you want to have a special experience and the blessings of a "family abroad", I 100% recommend staying with Aimee and Wes.
    Also, the house and the rooms are so pretty and very clean. Thank you so much again!

    Aimee and her family are amazing people. From the moment you enter their family they make you feel at home and this for me is the most important thing.

    My friend and I stayed with Aimee and Wes for about five months while we studied at the SDSU for one semester. We had an awesome time in San Diego and the stay at Aimee's and Wes' place was one of the main reasons for it. We felt at home from our first day on and the Andersons were always welcoming and helpful in multiple situations. We got advice what to do in San Diego and California, how to deal with local bank and car issues, and had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day together. If your are looking for a place that is more than just an accommodation but a beautiful home, the best you could do is to choose this one! Aimee, Wes – thanks again! :)

    Where should i start... first i stayed w aimee and Wes for 5 days. I was in sd for a few days before staying with them and Amiee invited me to come and meet them she was like "saeed i dont speak spanish but Mi casa su casa". I made a joke of giving them 4 stars rating but with all seriousness if i could give them more than 5 stars i would. Wes and Amiee were kind and helpful. Wes and Amiee will go above and beyond to help you & make you feel welcome. Tgey have a lovely house and they are lovely what else do you need. I can't recommend them enough.

    Aimee and Wes are exceptionally kind and generous. Not only did they provide a home for me in San Diego while we house-hunted, they also included me in their family and went out of their way to introduce me to the city. I can’t imagine a better place to stay, or better people to stay with.
