THE GREAT ESCAPE RIVER HOUSE
There are less than .005% of all Vacation Homes that sleep over 26 people. That is only based on sleeping people count. Add to it all the amenities this house has to offer and .... You've basically found the "Unicorn" of Vacation Rentals. Here's just some of what this amazing House has to offer:
AFFORDABLE:
Think about It . . . When a couple plans a getaway, in a one bedroom condo, they may pay $100 per person, per night, to stay... For a tiny place, where they hear the neighbors, share a pool. ... A local casino, possibly $150 a person, per night.
The above is mentioned to point out the house is in everyone's budget, if you've got the people count. If your people count is less, it may not be the most economical option. Please check out my 2nd vacation home, River Lookout, VRBO #406326, which has many of the same Amenities and if booked w this house, combined sleep 43 people. They are within easy walking distance.

Our groups of 10 adults and 9 children chose this house for our annual friends getaway, and we could not have picked a better house. This house is truly amazing! It is huge -- our large group had plenty of room to spread out, and there was no shortage of seating arrangements for meals and relaxing. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to cook for a large group, including two coffee makers, a Keurig, large stock pots (we did a big seafood boil one night), frying pans, knives, all sorts of utensils, plenty of plates, bowls, coffee mugs, cups, etc. The kitchen and grill were so great that we ended up cooking almost all of our meals at the house! One of the best things about the inside of the house is the bar -- we felt like we were out at an actual bar! There are flat screen TVs around the pool table and above the bar, and the bar has two wine fridges, an ice maker, and plenty of cold storage for beer, etc. If we had wanted to, we could have ordered a keg, and Patricia would have made sure it was tapped and ready for us when we arrived, which is a cool service she offers. The bar area is decorated with fun neon signs adding to the feel of a real bar. In the living room, the big L-shaped sectional is comfy and large enough to seat probably 8 people at once. So that's the inside. The outside areas are just as awesome. There are a lot of different seating areas on the deck around the house (front and back), as well as down by the pool. The umbrellas by the pool provided plenty of shade, and we spent a lot of time down there swimming and hanging out. We also used the ping pong table and basketball hoop, and the kids had fun riding their scooters on the paved area under the house. The house is right on the Biloxi River, so we took advantage of that, too. There's a dock that offers easy entry into the water, so we rented stand-up paddle boards and a kayak from Adventure Locators in D'Iberville (they were great -- I highly recommend them). They delivered the equipment right to the house. I definitely recommend enjoying the river if you stay at this house. Patricia was fantastic to work with! She always responded very quickly to texts and e-mails, her rental agreement and policies are clear, and we received our security deposit back via certified mail two days after check-out. Thank you!! I highly recommend this house to any large group coming to the Gulfport area!
We have an annual family reunion with family members coming from Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Trying to find a vacation rental house that will house 23+ people is a chore within itself, but, the Great Escape River House was a perfect fit. PLENTY of space, clean, and stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen, outside patio and pool. The kitchen and family room is so spacious that we all could fit in them at one time and socialize and eat. And yes, the bar area and pool table definitely sufficed the gentlemen in our group. Patricia is amazing to work with. If we had any questions, the answers came quickly. I would recommend The Great Escape River House to anyone who wants to get away but be close enough to the beaches, shopping and entertainment.
This was by far the best vacation we have ever taken! Even if we didn't want to go out and enjoy the beautiful surrounding towns - (Gulfport, and Biloxi) it still would have been an absolutely amazing experience. This house was spectacular! Anything that that you could imagine was available in this place. We had 19 people in our family, 11 adults, and 8 children. There was plenty of room for each of us to be comfortable, and we were not piled on top of each other. Amenities include swimming pool, hot tub, basketball court, ping pong table, pool table, river access for fishing, gaming system, and multiple tvs. And it is all located with 15 minutes of beautiful beaches, casinos, restaurants, paddle board adventures, jet skis, and fishing excursions. Hands down, would recommend this to anyone looking for a great escape vacation! :)
This house is fantastic. It is just what you would want for a group of friends to get together. This is our second year staying there and hope to be back again next year.
We had a wonderful time in the Gulfport area, the Great Escape River House was perfect for our Family, 10 Adults and 6 Children. The house is set up to support a large group like ours, plenty of room within the house that you don't feel crowded. Kitchen has everything you need to create fantastic meals, and room to allow everyone to eat in the same room. Spa was a big hit with the children and having a bathroom out on the deck kept them from having them coming into the house all wet. The Bar/Pool Table was a hit with the Adults, bar area was set up to keep the party going all night. Plenty of room to keep all the beer/mix and wine chilled, ice machine was an added bonus. Out door area is set up for entertaining, grills, boiling pots, pool, basketball, etc. Many afternoons and night's parents and kids were playing HORSE, great to see the Family playing together and relaxed. We'll be back!
We had a wonderful time. This is a great place for a family reunion with plenty of room to cook and enjoy family and lots to see and do in Gulfport. We will be back next year!
My traveling group rented the Great Escape River for Mardi Gras 2016. We came from Atlanta, Savannah, and Memphis to enjoy four days of parting. The house had everything a family, group or company would need to have a great time without leaving the property. We were so suppose to drive to New Orleans everyday for the parades and activities but we found it hard to leave every morning because we were so in oz with the house. Although it was 71 miles from the house to Canal Street, and we had people offer us to stay at their hotel room in New Orleans we always said NO because we were so excited to get back to the house. We had several friends visit the house and they to were so surprise by the space and amenities. We are looking forward to returning soon...hopefully for Mardi Gras 2017
The home was immaculate! If you can think of it or if you need it this house has it! Two stoves, two microwave ovens, multiple refrigerators, ice maker, bar, game area, playing card, garden tub, plenty of seating nice bedrooms and a heater in each bathroom! All the extra bells and whistles that you could think of to enjoy your trip.....i will definitely be returning soon!!!!
This house was great for family and friends to have fun together. Everything u could think of was n the house. ..I will definitely be back!
My siblings and I rented the Great Escape River House for my 60th Birthday for the whole week and we drove from Texas. The house had everything that you would ever need and then some, especially all of the TV's in the house including some in the bathrooms. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were fantastic. My group loved the massive kitchen and bar area and also the pool table. The Hot Tub was great since it was a little chilling in Jan, but still had a blast. Had every outdoor cooking device you can think of that any man would want to use. Visited several local attractions and restaurants. The owners of the house were great and were easy to get ahold of if needed. Will definitely be recommending this house to friends and relatives.
