This unique home allows for two units to be rented as one allowing for your group to have some private and shared spaces.
- Upstairs is a 4 bedroom, 2 full baths plus a 1/2 bath. (King with en suite full bath, 3 queens with shared bath and 1/2 bath)

The pathway leads to a 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.

Because vacations should be play-ready from day one.

The moment you open the door on the main level 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 the cruise ships come in or see the occasional whale or dolphin. 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.

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 two hot tub, fire up the barbecue grills, 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.

The Great Escape is the epitome of luxury, entertainment, and endless fun. It's your ticket to an unforgettable adventure that will make you feel like the star of your own blockbuster movie. So, grab your crew, pack your sense of adventure, and get ready to escape to a world of extraordinary fun and relaxation.
