San Diego is more than just beaches and sunshine — it’s one of the most important military hubs in the country. Whether you're traveling for a graduation at MCRD San Diego, PCS orders to Naval Base San Diego, or visiting for major events like Fleet Week or the Miramar Air Show, finding a place to stay that’s affordable, spacious, and military-friendly can be a challenge.
Hotels are cramped, overpriced, and often booked out during peak military travel weeks. Vacation rentals offer more space, but many platforms don’t cater to the unique needs of military families or retirees.
That’s where Crewdogs comes in.
We’re a military-first vacation rental platform designed specifically for:
With ID.me-verified bookings, built-in military discounts, and more space than a hotel ever could offer, Crewdogs makes traveling to San Diego for military reasons easier, safer, and more comfortable.

Coast Guard Family
A proud lowcountry resident, I come from a Coast Guard family- where both my father and grandfather retired. My uncle received a purple heart in WWII, and their stories inspire my journey to help the military community connect with Crewdogs.
