About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Rogers and Tim Bradley
I'm a native San Diegan who loves to travel and owns my own businesses. I have been all over and like the idea of staying in homes. flats. and boats in cities and towns around the world.
Why they chose this property
My partner and I purchased this boat with the idea of someday taking it to turquoise waters and retiring on it part time in Aruba or Belize and part time here in San Diego.
We bought it in 2018 and took 8 months to repair, refurbish and paint anything and everything that needed some TLC. The end result is a comfortable, fun and beautiful "second home on the water". We love being able to share our dream of relaxation and fun with you!

What makes this property unique
The reason we chose this boat was the challenge it came with. It had beautiful "bones" under all that bad paint and window coverings. We both had flipped homes, so why not a boat? My partner grew up in Detroit and an "engine is just an engine" to him so he's the operations guy and I'm the interiors, website designer and greeter of guests. We make a great team and if we don't know how to do it, YouTube has become a great teacher.
We renamed the boat The West Star because every night in our backyard the planet Venus would rise and we would jokingly proclaim "the west star has risen". So, the name stuck. We had a name changing ceremony and gave Poseidon the old name and an offering of spirits. The West Star was born.
