Further details for this vacation house rental in Big Pine Key, Florida

The Great Escape is a very spacious, immaculate, three bedrooms, three full baths, private home with central air. It is decorated in a relaxing, classy-tropical decor. The home will accommodate up to eight guests. No smoking or pets are allowed. The great room includes a well-equipped kitchen, dining room with a large table, and living room with plenty of seating for watching your favorite programs and sports on the 32-inch satellite TV. Wireless Internet is provided (so don't forget to bring your computer). Three sliding glass doors lead out onto a large screened-in porch with comfortable patio furniture for relaxing, eating, reading, or napping on the chaise lounge. Most likely, you will enjoy eating all your meals and watching TV from out there.

The master and guest bedrooms on the upper floor both have king-size beds. The master bedroom has a private bathroom, and the guest bedroom has a shared adjoining bathroom. All linens and towels are provided, as well as a washer and dryer. The lower floor bedroom suite has a queen-size bed, a full bath, and a futon for relaxing and watching TV. A small refrigerator is provided. Sliding glass doors open to the private patio that leads to the dock and canal. It is a great place to sit on a chaise lounge with your morning coffee or have an evening barbecue with friends on the picnic table. Both gas and charcoal grills are provided.

Just a few steps from the house is a concrete dock with a fish cleaning table. The tiled, stepped-down, patio area includes an outdoor shower and swim ladder. It is a great place to relax and get that beautiful Keys tan. The canal is very clean and is perfect for swimming. There is ample space to tie up your boat and it will be close and ready for you to hop aboard at a moment’s notice. Go fish, play, take a sunset cruise, or cross Pine Channel and tie up to the Parrotdise Bar and Grille dock for a waterfront happy hour and dinner. The tropical, fenced-in yard has garden pathways and many tropical plants and trees. Under the house, there is protected parking for your vehicle. There is also room to park a boat trailer and a storage area for all of your fishing and snorkeling equipment. Also included is a chest freezer for extras (and all that fish you will be catching)!

Review Submitted: February 16, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
This was our second time at the Great Escape and it was even better than the first. The house is kept up beautifully and has great comfortable furniture and all the amenities you could want. We used the supplied bicycles many times and the canal on which the house fronts is very clean and great for swimming. We kayaked from the house several times to explore the mangroves and it was beautiful. Bette and Ski are great hosts. We are returning next year as I can't think of a nicer place to stay.

Review Submitted: May 12, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We had a great time at the Great Escape. You could not ask for more accommodating hosts, the house was fully furnished and very comfortable. We loved the upper level screened in porch and ate most of our meals enjoying the view. We brought our boat and the facilities for docking and cleaning fish were first rate. Another nice touch was the lower level deep freeze for bait and storing your catch. I would definitely recommend the Great Escape to anyone who is looking for a very comfortable and well equipped home for a vacation.
Owner's Response: George,thank you for your very nice comments. It was our pleasure having you and your friends as guests at the Great Escape, and we hope you will return again in the future.
Sincerely, Bette & Ski

Review Submitted: March 22, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
We recently spent a month (January 2008) at "The Great Escape". We very much enjoyed our stay and would gladly recommend this property. There is not a whole lot to add to the previous comments except to say that we agree with all of them. We especially would like to say that this is our fourth rental thru VRBO and while all of them have been satisfactory, this house is by far the cleanest one we have ever rented. We felt like the place had been painted and cleaned just for us. I told Betty it was cleaner than my own home and that was not an exaggeration. The home is very conveniently located, the yard is fantastic - fun to walk around every day and see what is blooming next. My husband especially enjoyed the screened-in deck or porch - he spent most of his time there - I enjoyed it too but I also like to sunbath in the back yard on the canal
Owner's Response: Thank you Janice and Jerry. It was our pleasure having you as guests in our home, and we hope you will plan to return again in the future. You were great guest and are always welcomed, so please keep us in mind when you decide you want to return to the Keys.

Review Submitted: October 11, 2007 Date of Stay: October 2007
Dear Betty and Ski,
Our vacation at the Great Escape
was so very special. Your guest home
had every need supplied plus any extra
needs that sometimes popped up. Then
in addition we enjoyed all the beauti- ful decor, spaciousness, garden, and
lovely views. It was soo clean and
had its own warmth and coziness which
we truly enjoyed.
Our guys enjoyed the internet
services immensely but I really loved
the feeling of being off in another
world - so relaxing. The canal is so
clean and refreshing plus all one
needs to prepare fish and trimmings.
Loved that morning coffee on the deck
with plenty of fans!! We had a fun
time. It was so close to Key West
which helped us to have a super time
at several vacation sights and time
to do some great fishing.
Love and thanks, Lois and Jack
Owner's Response: Jack & Lois. It was really a pleasure having you as guests in our home. We are happy you enjoyed yourselves and our home. Thank you for your wonderful comments. Remember you are always welcomed. Bette & Ski

Dear Ski & Bette,
I can not tell you how hard it was for my family to come back to the real world. As I told you on the way home my family and I felt like we were at a resort for vacation. Your home is the best. We did not want or need for anything. I have never stayed at a rental property where I felt anymore like home. Thank you for being so kind, accommodating and mostly for being a part of our memories of a lifetime.
Until next time,

Owner's Response: Michelle & Donald. It was our pleasure having you and your family as guests in our home, and are happy you had a great vacation. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. Bette & Ski
