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.

Excellent House with a Charming Price

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.

I really cannot complain about one thing. This place was awesome and our church group had a really good time. We had such a good time that the students requested to go back this year on our spring retreat. So we are booking it again! I would recommend this to anyone.

The best rental home in North America. Our golf group has rented homes in Scottsdale, Palm Springs, Myrtle Beach, Orlando and Riviera Maya, Mexico and this by far was the best rental home of them all. So many amenities to mention and the pics on the web-site don't due it justice. We have been telling everyone about our trip and the story always starts off with,"you should have seen this house"!

Perfect for a guys trip

My buddies and I stayed at this house for our annual golf trip. We originally had 12 guys, which was chopped down to 7 due to babies being born and nagging wives, etc! There are like 5000 beds in this place and I could have slept in a different one each of the four nights we were there. All of the amenities in this place are top notch and if your group of guys can think of something this place is missing, you're a better man than I. We were roughly a half hour away from the 4 different courses we played (90 minutes from Magnolia Grove in Mobile). The only negative I can think of was we were like a $40 cab ride from the casinos in Biloxi, but between 7 guys it's really not bad considering! All in all, the place was perfect, including the guys sitting in the hot tub watching the Sunday Night NFL game. If you are a group of 8-16 guys, this is the place for you.

Great Time

What a great time my family had at the Great Escape River House! Patricia and Grady worked their bottoms off getting the house ready for our stay which was less then a week after hurricane Isaac. The house looked exactly like the pictures, but you won't believe how big it is until you see it! Unfortuantely because of Isaac beaches and Ship Island were closed. We still were able to enjoy the local casinos, deep sea fishing and visited the dolphins at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport. Although, we really didn't need to leave the house, plenty to do there! If you have military (retired or active) with you, we suggest taking advantage of what Keesler AFB has to offer. Hope to return again next year!

I really try to investigate a vacation rental. patricia (owner) was very very helpful and great with all my questions. The Children (ages 4-17) really wanted to stay on the beach but with so many of us it was impossible to fine one place. On the second day my 13 year old son walked up to me and said Mom I'm glad we stayed here and not on the beach!! Than was worth it all!!! During our stay we never left the house other than 1 day we went to ship island! That was all the kids needed and they were ready to come back to the house! Great for large families and it is absolutely home away from home! I would highly recommend staying here!!!!

Great place for a Family Vacation.

The house and property was beautiful, spacious, and functional. The kitchen was fully stocked with any type of cookware you may need. The kitchen was large enough for several cooks to work at the same time. There was plenty to keep the 8 children occupied. They were either swimming, walking the trails by the river, playing pool, playing x-box in the media room or dancing to the stereo. The adults enjoyed the spacious balcony with its cool breezes, beautiful view and in the evenings the hot tub. The house was only a short distance from Gulfport and Biloxi. We took the Ferry Boat to Ship Island and its beautiful beach. The sand is white and the water is clear. The children enjoyed watching the sting rays swim around and all the hermit crabs. Some of the adults enjoyed a night out at The Isle of Capri Casino in Biloxi. We did some great fishing with Bay Charter Fishing and caught our limit of White Trout. The children and men enjoyed the trip to the Alligator Farm in Pasacoula. They were able to hold a baby gator and ride an air boat through the swamps. We have great memories of our trip to Gulfport and the Great Escape River House.
