Welcome to "The Great Escape," by RentalWithAView…. an epic estate perched atop Mission Hills, one of San Diego's swankiest neighborhood! 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:

- 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 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)
- Head downstairs and there is another complete home with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath plus a 1/2 bath (Queen with en suite 1/2 bath, Queen with full shared bath), another kitchen, living room and dining area. You also have access to a second washer and dryer.

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 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 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.

"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.

Blown away!
Adrianne was helpful and thorough in answering all of our questions in advance of our stay. Everything was spot on! Check in was effortless. Property was spotless and welcoming. The amenities and appliances were top notch. Definitely designed for home-away-from-home functionality. Planned out perfectly. The kitchen cabinets had everything you could think of to prepare and serve full family meals. They even provided dishwasher and laundry supplies. Besides plenty of towels, pillows, and extra blankets we discovered beach towels, chairs, toys, and a cooler bag... so off to the beach we went! Jacuzzis were clean and relaxing. We enjoyed the outdoor games and lounge areas which were plentiful. And, yes, the views are great! There were 10 of us and we all wish we could have stayed longer. Even the two kids. The attention to detail and the level of thoughtfulness that went into planning this property was outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

It's a great spot with lots of space for men heading to a work convention. We were able to come "home" after a long day of meetings and unwind in a beautiful outdoor space.

Great family trip to San Diego!
We loved the home- it was perfect for our stay in San Diego. It was great having the 2 separate houses and there were so many activities for the kids. We also enjoyed the view- including the airport. It was fun watching the planes. It was a perfect location for exploring the different areas around San Diego. We would definitely recommend this home!
