Photos and Description of the Gulfport vacation house rental
5 bedrooms, large sleeping loft, total 12 beds/2 futons, 4.25 baths, sleeps 22

'The Great Escape River House' has so much to offer! An incredible vacation, luxury accommodations & memories of which will last a lifetime.

This is not a 2000 sq ft house, awkwardly configured for 22 people. This is 4500 sq ft of luxury accommodations! Everyone under the same roof. Staying in separate hotels or condo's is like herding cats with a big group. This house offers sleeping for 22, 4 full bathrooms, 1000 sq ft gourmet kitchen/dining area, 1200 sq ft Great Room, numerous areas for large & small gatherings. There are over 1000 sq ft of covered porches, Private Swimming Pool & Hot Tub. All of this right on the Biloxi River. It is truly 'The Great Escape River House!'

This home was well thought out for accommodating large overnight groups. There are 12 individual beds & 2 double size convertible sofas. The beds are: 1 king, 5 queens, & 6 full size beds. The 6 full beds are 3 bunk beds, top & bottom full size beds.

See our other home at Homeaway #980416.

Comfortable & roomy sleeping accommodations:: 14 people could each have their own bed or convertible sofa. For the maximum capacity of 22, we've figured only one person in each of the top bunks, double occupancy in each of the full, queen, and king beds, and only one person on a convertible sofa. These beds are also not placed awkwardly close to each other. 2 Queen beds & the King size bed each have a private room, 1 bunk has a private room, 2 other bunk beds share a large bedroom, & the massive loft has 3 queen beds & the two convertible sofas.

The 4 full baths are also well distributed. The loft has a full bath. The 6 full size beds (the 3 bunk beds) are in adjacent rooms with their own full bath. The 2 bedrooms off the hall, with queen beds, share the hall full bath. Even the master bedroom's bathroom, which has a private entrance from the master bedroom, also offers a 2nd entrance to the bathroom through the laundry room; Offering more options.

Grandeur & Luxury await you!: Driving up, you're welcomed by a circular drive with beautiful fountain in the center. The elevated house, has plenty of covered parking. Up the stairs, the covered front porch offers seating for 8. A cozy place to relax, or for the smokers a comfortable retreat to grab a last puff. Sorry, no smoking inside the house.

The Great Room, has a magnificent 20+ ft granite wet bar, 10 bar stools, double keg cooler, microwave, ice maker, & everything you would need for mixing drinks (blender & glassware). This is just the beginning of the Great Room, which is equipped with many flat screen HD TVs, a pool table, & huge sectional sofa.

The custom Gourmet kitchen of your dreams awaits! Granite counters, 2 massive islands, fully equipped cookware & utensils, every appliance you could want, & usually more than one are awaiting you in this kitchen. The breakfast bar sits 11, dining table sits 8, w/ morel folding chairs available. There are even 2 ~ 50' TV's overlooking this area.

Cover porch overlooks river & swimming pool:: The back covered deck is a little peace of heaven, offering an 8 person hot tub, many TV's & a stereo. Great view of the river. Lighted palm trees add a little night time atmosphere. Seating for 12 at 2 Glass tables. Back deck has closing gate to keep little ones on porch & benches for watching river, back yard, & swimming pool.

Down the back stairs, you enter the enclosed ramp area to the elevated deck that surrounds 15' x 30', 4 1/2' deep above ground swimming pool for a refreshing dip. A charcoal grill with commercial style large stainless steel sink & counter for prep work is available. There are tables, chairs & umbrellas. There's also room to tan. Pool/deck area is enclosed for safety.

Between the house & river is a dock, perfect for fishing from or docking your boat.

On an adjacent property, that is not part of your rental of this property, we sometimes allow those staying at the Great Escape River House to use a 2nd larger deck on the water. Just pass, the deck is a concrete path, through the woods, to a covered area, w 2 picnic tables & grill, right on the river. Sometimes, depending on the tide, there is even a small beach. This property, adjacent, and a completely separate property is enjoyed by our family and occasionally those staying at our 2nd vacation rental, River Lookout. River Lookout is NOT located next to the Great Escape River House, can't be seen from the Great Escape River House, but is located south of on the River from The Great Escape River House. Various considerations go into whether a group will be granted access. Week long stays, those with boats, those wanting to fish, those with a high adult to child ratio, are usually granted access. Shorter stays, those with a high child to adult ratio, are generally not. If access to this adjacent property is a key factor in your decision to stay, please bring this to our attention prior to booking.

Other Activities: Canoeing & Kayaking

Golf: I'm currently in the process of partnering with one or more golf associations devoted to matching golfer groups with the right golf courses. The Golfer associations I've been networking with will be able to have Tee times and discounted rates at local golf courses arranged in advance to you & your groups prior to your arrival. I imagine by December 2011 these agreements will be finalized. In the meantime, I have a contacts I can direct any Golfers interested in, directly to, even prior to booking the Great Escape River House..

Excellent House with a Charming Price

5 of 5
Submitted: March 25, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
This house is an extremely upscale house for the money. We had 8 in our group and it was affordable, quaint and screne for our golf trip in the Gulfport/Biloxi area. The kitchen is huge and well equipped for what you need. There are enough beds for both small and large groups to feel comfortable. The outdoor space provided fishing, swimming, hot tub and tailgating games. The indoor space has a very nice pool table, theater style movie set up and TV's all over the place. You aer 25 mins from the airport, 25 minutes from the casinos and an hour and 10 minutes from New Orleans. The casino golf courses were nice and so was the Oaks golf course. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this house to anyone.
