NEW! Great Escape 2 w/ Views, Hot Tub, Games, Safari Tent, Golf

Welcome to "The Great Escape," by RentalWithAView….Prepare for responses from your guests like “WHOA!, OMG! and of course “This Place is SIIIICKK!” We've combined next level FUN with premium LUXURY, to make The Great Escape an experience like no other!

This home has it all:
- Newly remodeled, luxury EVERYTHING
- Game room – Basketball arcade game, Foosball, Pac-Man
- Powerful Jacuzzi Tub with views from the gorgeous deck
- Luxurious Safari Tent with privacy curtains, fire pit, and seating for 12
- Putt-putt , Bocce ball, corn hole & more
- 75” home theater television
- Ultra comfy linens and memory foam mattresses
- So much more!

This newly renovated paradise boasts a 7,500 square foot lot of pure, unadulterated awesomeness. You read that right – it's a playground of epic proportions, scattered throughout the property's grounds. This home is the upper half of a duplex, a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, with it's own private deck, hot tub and grill. The pathway leads to a shared common area at the lower level of the property featuring a cozy safari-inspired tent (with privacy curtains), putt-putt course, and cornhole/ladder toss court.

This is a brand new listing, so please check out the reviews on our other properties and know that when you book with us, you are embarking on a 5- star memory making extravaganza that you and your guests will absolutely love.

The moment you open the door and step into the game room, the nostalgia will take over. We've got foosball, Pac-Man, chess, and even an arcade style 2-player basketball hoop for you to challenge your fellow travelers. It's a game lover's dream come true, sure to delight everyone in your party.

Now, let's talk about the views. Picture this: You return from a long day of sightseeing to jaw dropping panoramic vistas of the harbor and downtown. Or, you wake up before everyone else and enjoy some zen watching planes land or cruise ships come in. It's like having your own private movie theater where the main attraction is the beauty of San Diego.

Speaking of movie theaters, if you tire of the incredible view, simply press a button and tilt back in the massive electric leather recliner sofa while you conjure up a flick on the massive 75” home theater television. Change the colors on the electric fireplace until you find the perfect ambiance!

But what about location??… "The Great Escape" is centrally located in beautiful Mission Hills, San Diego's premier neighborhood. It's a 10-minute walk to Little Italy and Banker's Hill, and a mere 5-10 minute drive or Uber ride away from all the major hotspots. Explore the vibrant neighborhoods, indulge in culinary delights, and soak up the pulsating energy of San Diego, all just outside your door.

Wait, there's more! As you venture towards the bottom of the property, prepare to be blown away by the luxurious safari tent inspired by our travels to South Africa. Picture yourself sitting around a cozy fire pit, sipping fine wine, and swapping stories under the starry night sky. And for those looking for a little friendly competition, we've got a putt-putt, bocce ball, and corn hole course just outside the tent to enhance the fun. It's the perfect recipe for laughter, camaraderie, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Please note, this space is shared with guests from the upstairs unit, so its not 100% guaranteed that it will always be available.

Let's not forget the expansive decks that will leave you feeling like royalty. After a long day exploring the city, sink into the warm waters of the private hot tub, fire up the barbecue grill, and enjoy the finer things in life. The custom-made walnut countertops add that extra touch of elegance as you savor delicious meals while taking in the breathtaking views.

This home is located on the second level of a recently remodeled duplex. This home is located atop a hill, and there is usually free street parking within near proximity if not directly in front. When parking on a hill, be sure to crank your wheels towards the curb to avoid being ticketed.

Stay here - you wont regret it. This property was next level. The pictures on the site were spot on. It was immaculate, clean and spacious. The Hot tub was such a nice way to end our day. Everything was state of the art technology: from the bidet, heated toilets to the giant TV's. All the lighting and switches let you customize your mood. Sound machines in all bedrooms to help you sleep like a baby. The awesome backyard oasis was lovely. We loved it here. We walked to Little Italy (25 minutes) for a great Breakfast and visited a few local restaurants. (Loved Morning Glory). Convenient to airport and the Zoo. I have already recommended this place to a few of my friends. The hosts were very kind and helpful, answered communications swiftly and provided great info for everything. Check in and out was so easy. We will definitely visit again. Thank you for a wonderful experience 😊

The BEST view and access to MCRD

This place was way better than a hotel for us. 5 occupants Wed and Thurs with 3 more Friday. I wish we had booked glints on Sungai so qe could enjoy the place more. Impeccable! Comfortable! Minutes from the gate, eats and stores for incidentals nearby. No problem with parking at all. 10/10 would stay again!

San Diego Family vacation

We stayed here with 7 adults and 2 young kids. The house is well-appointed and beautifully furnished with comfortable beds. The views of the bay and airport are great from the picture window and fantastic from the hot tub esp. at night. Close to everywhere you'd like to go and within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Street parking is available in front of the house . Early check in and late checkout were accommodated We initially had an issue with entry into the house due to a new keypad but the communication with the host was quick and responsive And was resolved. We were provided a high chair upon request and staff brought in our delivered packages while we were out. Very responsive hosts. Next time I would rent the entire house since we could have used the extra space for napping young ones. My only suggestions for improvement would be to replace the very creaky bed frame in the back right bedroom and provide secure Wi-Fi. I would definitely rent from these hosts again.

Sam diego 3 day weekend

Nice house, little trouble with the lock throughout our stay. I wouldn't necessarily say the house is within walking distance of really anything if that is what you are looking for. Nice location between downtown and mission beach, but you definitely need a car! Also parking on the street can be very cumbersome!

Beautiful house

The house was great and well decorated. Close to the airport and Marine depot. Lots of games to entertain yourself. The only thing that needs improvement is the beds, they are too firm. Would wake up sore back and neck. Maybe a pillow top would help comfort. Overall I would stay there again.

Beautiful Property

We had an amazing stay! The views from both inside and outside the house were absolutely breathtaking. The property was spotless, well-maintained, and made for a comfortable stay. We couldn’t have asked for more, and we will definitely recommend this place to others. Looking forward to staying again in the future!
