The Great Escape 2 | 4BR/2.5BA | Harbor Views + Boutique Touches + Unlimited Beach Gear

Most vacation rentals give you a place to sleep. This one gives you sparkling wine on arrival, a game room, bidets in every bathroom, sound machines in every room, and a private hot tub with harbor views. Oh, and unlimited bikes, surfboards, and paddleboards are included at no extra cost through a local partner. Our guests call it the best Airbnb they've ever stayed in, and our rating backs that up.

This newly renovated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home occupies the upper level of a charming duplex in Mission Hills, one of San Diego's most sought-after neighborhoods. Every detail has been thought through, from the memory foam mattresses and luxury linens to the fully stocked kitchen, quality cookware, and wine glasses waiting for your first evening in.

The game room sets the tone immediately: Pac-Man, foosball, a 2-player arcade basketball hoop, and chess. Wind down on the oversized electric recliner sofa in front of a 75 home theater TV, or dial in the perfect ambiance on the customizable electric fireplace. High-quality acoustically rated windows frame panoramic harbor views from multiple rooms.

🌅 PRIVATE DECK AND HOT TUB
Your private deck is where this place earns its name. Sink into the powerful Jacuzzi as city lights stretch across the water, watch planes glide in over the harbor, or catch the SeaWorld fireworks lighting up the sky at 8:50pm on summer evenings. Fire up the grill, pour something cold, and let the view do the rest.

🔥SHARED COMMON AREA
Head downstairs to a safari-inspired tent with privacy curtains, a fire pit, and seating for 12, the kind of spot guests describe as perfect for wine and stories under the stars. The grounds also feature a putt-putt course, bocce ball, and cornhole. These areas are shared with the downstairs unit and availability isn't guaranteed, but most guests find them easy to enjoy throughout their stay.

🏖️ UNLIMTED BEACH GEAR INCLUDED
Every stay includes unlimited adult and kid-size bikes, surfboards, and paddleboards through our trusted local partner. All gear is professionally maintained and ready daily. No rental shops, no extra fees.

✨THOUGHTFUL EXTRAS
This is where guests consistently say we go further than expected:

- Welcome sparkling wine and snacks on arrival
- Sound machines in every bedroom
- Bidets in every bathroom
- Beach towels provided
- Crib and high chair available for families
- A detailed welcome booklet with local tips and recommendations
- TV in every room with Bluetooth ceiling speakers in the bathrooms

🥂 KITCHEN AND BEDROOMS
The fully equipped kitchen handles everything from morning coffee to full dinners, with quality cookware, dishes, and glassware ready to go. The home sleeps up to 8 guests across four bedrooms, each with memory foam mattresses and luxury linens.

📍THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Mission Hills puts you within a 10-minute walk of Little Italy and Banker's Hill, both packed with excellent dining, coffee, and bars. Balboa Park, the Zoo, Gaslamp Quarter, Petco Park, the beaches, Coronado Island, and the airport are all 5 to 15 minutes by car. It's a genuinely central location without the noise or chaos of staying downtown.

ℹ️ GOOD TO KNOW
The home sits on a hill in an active urban neighborhood. Street parking is usually available nearby, though on busy weekends it can require a short walk. Due to it's central location, you may hear planes between 6:30am and 10pm. The sound machines help considerably, and most guests say it stops being noticeable within a day.

    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 😊

    Fabulous rental with everything one needs. It is close to the freeway and airport so light sleepers may struggle but we had not problem with it. Loved its proximity to so many things.

    My oldest boy became a Marine and we visited to attend the ceremony. We are a family of 8. My wife and I and six kids. Everyone is close in age and are all teenagers. Since one of my boys is in a wheelchair, we were huge fans of the handicap accessibility! Also, the layout felt spacious and the large kitchen was exactly what we needed. The playful amenities kept my kids entertained and asking to come back. They loved the tent and fire pit at the bottom of the property. We are hoping my other son that is joining the Navy in July has bootcamp in San Diego so we can visit this property again! It’s a 10 out of 10 for a family like ours!

    Myself and family had an amazing stay here. Super close to the Marine base! The whole reason we were here is to get see are youngest graduate from the Marine Corps. It was the perfect place! Very nice, super clean and had everything we need plus more! Definitely recommend this house to stay at especially if you want to be close to the base! We enjoyed our stay so much!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.
