The Great Escape 3 | 6BR/3.5BA | Two Complete Homes + Game Room + Unlimited Beach Gear Most vacation rentals give you a place to sleep. This one gives you two complete homes, two hot tubs with harbor views, a game room, a safari tent under the stars, and unlimited bikes, surfboards, and paddleboards included at no extra cost. Our guests call it the best Airbnb they've ever stayed in, and our rating backs that up. The space 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.

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. Guest access We use a smart lock and you will receive the code upon arrival to the home under the "check-in" information in the guest portal. Please note there are security cameras on the front exterior of the home. Other things to note Our home is located in the best neighborhood in San Diego, offering great proximity to most attractions and fantastic views. While our properties feature high quality, acoustically rated windows and doors, our central location means you will occasionally hear the sounds of the city including planes that take off between the hours of 6:30am and 10:00 pm. If you are very sensitive to noise, staying anywhere in the downtown San Diego area may not be the right choice. Registration details STR-05630L, 645989
