2 Bedroom House in Middletown, San Diego
The Great Escape | 2BR/1.5BA | Private Hot Tub + Boutique Touches + Unlimited Beach Gear
Most vacation rentals give you a place to sleep. This one gives you a welcome snack basket, smart bidets, sound machines in every room, and a private hot tub with harbor views waiting at the end of every day. Unlimited bikes, surfboards, and paddleboards are also 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 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home occupies the lower level of a charming duplex in Mission Hills, one of San Diego's most sought-after neighborhoods. Accessed through a private gate on the left side of the home, you'll find your own peaceful retreat with a private deck, hot tub, and grill. Inside, every detail has been thought through: memory foam mattresses, luxury linens, a 60" smart TV with all your favorite streaming services, and an electric fireplace you can dial to exactly the right ambiance. High-quality acoustically rated windows and doors keep things peaceful inside.
🌅 PRIVATE DECK & HOT TUB
Sink into the warm Jacuzzi as harbor views stretch out before you, watch planes glide in over the water, or simply unwind with a glass of wine while the city hums in the distance. Fire up the grill and enjoy meals on the deck as the sun goes down. Guests call this the best part of the stay, and we think you'll agree.
🔥 OUTDOOR COMMON AREAS
Head further down the property to a safari-inspired tent with privacy curtains, a fire pit, and seating for 12, the kind of spot that turns a good trip into a great one. The grounds also feature a putt-putt course, bocce ball, and cornhole. These areas are shared with the upstairs unit and availability isn't guaranteed, but most guests find them easy to enjoy throughout their stay.
🏖️ 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.

Sound machines in every room take care of the rest, and most guests tell us it's a non-issue within a day. That central location does mean you may occasionally hear planes between 6:30am and 10pm.

Street parking is usually available nearby, though on busy weekends it can require a short walk.
