Awesome vacation!

We loved our stay at The Great Escape. Plenty of room for our family of 11 to spread out. The games downstairs were great to entertain the kids and teens. We appreciated the chairs and bikes that were available to use. It was a beautiful house in a great location. Close enough to Carolina beach to visit but far enough away to be away from the hustle and bustle.

Stayed here with my family after we found the listing last minute. We were looking for something very specific so booking this listing felt like we were settling for less.
Finally the day came, we made it to the spot and went inside and the house is way better in person, the pictures don’t do justice. It’s a very nice area as well!
Very comfy, the vibe feels like home immediately. It’s surprisingly huge, my family had plenty of space and there’s room for everyone. Lots of stuff to do at the house with the game room, the lounging area, bikes, beach gear etc. I only wish we’d have stayed longer! A place like these 3 days goes by so fast. Next time we’d definitely stay a week just to enjoy it more and make use of everything there is to offer.
No complaints, loved every bit of it (whole fam did!) Will be back.

The property was absolutely beautiful. The host provided chairs and toys for the beach and bikes to go riding. My family had such a great stay. The rooms were spacious, the kitchen was large and the game room was so much fun for the kids. We will definitely be staying at this property again!
