Great Escape 3 | 6BR, 2 Hot Tubs, Views, Game Room

The Great Escape 3 | 6BR/3.5BA | Two Complete Homes + Game Room + Unlimited Beach Gear
This newly renovated property is two complete standalone homes that rent together as one, giving your group the best of both worlds: shared spaces to gather and private retreats when you need them. The homes connect through a back gate on the property but do not share an interior entrance, making this ideal for two families, multigenerational groups, or anyone who wants togetherness with privacy.

🔼 Upstairs: 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms plus a half bath. One king with an en-suite full bath, three queens with a shared bath and half bath. Step inside to a full game room, 75" home theater TV with electric leather recliner sofa, customizable electric fireplace, and panoramic harbor views from the expansive deck.

🔽 Downstairs: A complete second home with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath plus a half bath. One queen with an en-suite half bath, one queen with a shared full bath. Full second living room, dining area, kitchen, and washer and dryer.
Six bedrooms total, sleeping up to 12 guests.

🌅 PRIVATE DECKS & TWO HOT TUBS
Both units have their own private deck and hot tub with harbor views. Sink into warm bubbling water 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 either grill, pour something cold, and let the views do the rest.

🎯 GAME ROOM & ENTERTAINMENT
Step into the upstairs game room and feel the energy immediately. Foosball, Pac-Man, chess, and a 2-player arcade basketball hoop keep everyone entertained. Wind down on the oversized electric recliner sofa in front of the 75" home theater TV, or dial in the perfect ambiance on the customizable electric fireplace.

🔥 OUTDOOR COMMON AREAS
At the lower level of the property you'll find 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 spread across the 7,500 sq ft lot.

🏖️ UNLIMITED 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, just wake up and go.

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

- Welcome snack baskets
- Sparkling wine
- Sound machines in every bedroom
- Smart bidets in every bathroom
- Beach towels provided
- Crib, high chair, and pack-n-play available for families
- TV in every room with Bluetooth ceiling speakers in the bathrooms
- Detailed welcome booklet with local tips and recommendations

🥂 KITCHENS & BEDROOMS
Two fully equipped kitchens mean everyone can cook together or take turns hosting meals. Both feature ovens, stoves, dishwashers, refrigerators, coffee makers, quality cookware, dishes, and wine glasses. Memory foam mattresses and luxury linens throughout all six bedrooms.

📍 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.

🔑 GUEST ACCESS
Each unit has its own smart lock entry. You'll receive one code for all doors via the guest portal prior to arrival. The units connect through a back gate on the property but do not have an interior connection between them. Please note there are security cameras on the front exterior of the property.

ℹ️ GOOD TO KNOW
That central location does mean you may occasionally hear planes between 6:30am and 10pm. The acoustically rated windows help considerably and most guests say it fades into the background within a day.

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.

📋 HOUSE RULES
No smoking, no pets, no parties or bachelor/bachelorette events. All guests must be 25 or older unless a parent is present. Max 12 guests including children. Check-in after 4pm, checkout by 10am.

​​​​​​​↩️ CANCELLATION POLICY
Reservations canceled at least 14 days before start of the stay will receive 100% refund. Reservations canceled at least 7 days before the start of the stay will receive a 50% refund.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. The vacation home has a memory foam bed. There's a private balcony.

Perfect access getaway

The property was awesome relaxing and fun. Easy access to tons of places. All the bedrooms had 1 bed not 2 or bunk bed which was a big plus.this property had enough to keep us busy when we were not out exploring the city and best of all the owner Daniel was very prompt in addressing a WiFi issue that was resolved immediately

Super comfortable stay!

We had 8 extended family members together for 4 days after Disneyland and had a wonderful time at this property! Everything was very clean and well cared for, with comfortable beds and other furniture, 2 hot tubs and lovely yard to enjoy! Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Even though the house is very close to the airport, freeway and train line, it is comfortably quiet inside and we were not disturbed really at all. If we are back in San Diego, would definitely stay here again!

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!

Great hosts - great house

This place was the perfect home base for a recent friends trip to San Diego. The house is very spacious and was thoughtfully stocked with all the accoutrements that we might need during our stay. We had a couple of questions during our visit and the hosts answer via text very promptly. The location is a bit loud with the nearby freeway and airport, but you couldn't ask for a more convenient location to get to the tourist stops and downtown. We would definitely stay here or at another of their properties if we visit San Diego again.

Everything about this place was awesome. Just as described on line. Supper clean, lots of games and very very nice. Had one request and it was granted within a few minutes. My only concern before arriving was the parking situation. There was plenty of parking on the street. We always had a spot almost directly in front of the house. Would definitely book again.

Great place for a large family

We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything was clean and well stocked. We don’t typically cook while we’re on vacation, but if this is something you like doing, the kitchen was well equipped with everything you would do. Beds were comfortable as well as the living room furniture. We were busy while we were here (Padres game,San Diego Zoo, Sea World) but when we were at the house, we were all very comfortable. I appreciated the check in information regarding parking do’s & don’ts. Communication with the owner/team was good. Enjoyed our stay! Definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at Great Escape 3 w/ Views, Hot Tub, Games, Safari Tent, Golf in San Diego! Our family group of nine — including our two grandchildren (ages 8 and 6) — had an absolutely wonderful time.The amenities truly set this property apart. From the hot tub and games to the fun safari tent and golf features, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The décor was exceptional — the attention to detail throughout the home made our stay feel extra special. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into creating a memorable experience.We were especially impressed with the thoughtful extras. The beach toys and complimentary rental items for our beach visit were such a generous touch and made our time at the ocean so easy and enjoyable. It really elevated the whole experience.The bedding was superior — incredibly comfortable and high quality — which made it easy to relax after full days of activities.The location was also very convenient for visiting SeaWorld San Diego and enjoying time at Mission Beach. It was the perfect home base for exploring the area while still having a fun and relaxing place to come back to each evening.This home was ideal for our multigenerational family trip, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for families looking for comfort, fun amenities, and thoughtful details that make a vacation truly special.

Perfect Location

We stayed at the Great Escape 3 for a Marine Graduation. The location was PERFECT. The house was exactly what we needed, we wanted for nothing. It is so nice for extended family to get up in the morning in the same place and visit over coffee, eat in peace and be able to talk to everyone. When we were finally able to bring our Marine home, everyone was able to visit with him and stay up late playing games. This is something we could not do at a hotel. I highly recommend Rental With a View.

Great House

We booked this house for a group of 11 traveling to San Diego for a birthday party. It was exactly what we needed. The house is a great layout for a big group. It is just as described. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone. It is very modern and great furniture. It had everything you would expect in a rental house. We loved that each room had a sound machine. The beds were all comfortable and each room's closet had hangers for your clothes. The washer and dryer in unit was also very convenient. It was very centrally located so we were a quick uber from all of the places in San Diego that we wanted to visit and very close to the airport which was convenient. We enjoyed the outdoor space and took advantage of both hot tubs, bags set and fire pit area. It was easy to communicate with the owners and easy instructions to get in the house. Also the check out instructions were so simple which we appreciated. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone that needs a space for a large group. We had a great time!

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!!!
