We loved our stay!!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was perfect and fully stocked with everything we needed for the week. Having your own private walkway to the beach was amazing. There were so many personal touches throughout the house that truly made you feel like you were at home. Highly recommend and we will definitely book again.

So relaxing!

We all enjoyed our vacation! The ability to get right back to the house from the beach was awesome. Our pups enjoyed the beach and water. The gates on the porches and walkways made it so relaxing with dogs. The kitchen was well equipped and made cooking there easy. We loved staying at Great Escape

Beautiful oceanfront retreat

The week we rented was during Hurricane and Tropical Storm Debby. Because of the home’s proximity to the beach we were able to time some visits to the ocean and beach. Also very thankful the property was oceanfront because we could watch the storm bounce around the waves!

This was our second time staying at this property. It's just perfect. The house is nicely decorated. It's clean and it's in a perfect location, close enough to everything, but yet, away from the crowds. Highly recommended

Beautiful, relaxing home with perfect views!

This was a very clean home with spectacular views of the ocean. We loved the location and privacy. It was the most well stocked beach house we’ve ever rented and the owners gave much attention to detail, making our stay extra special. Overall, super relaxing, spacious and exceeded our expectations. Loved hearing the ocean waves every night. Thanks for an amazing stay!

A Truly Great Escape

A very nice home with the kind of details that turn an ordinary weekend into something special. VERY clean! Things such as bathroom essentials, nice stocked kitchen, dog toys and people toys, 2 coffee makers, and a beach view that was a serene delight. The owners made a sincere effort to make our time enjoyable! Look forward to a return visit...

Wonderful family vacation at The Great Escape!

House was amazing with special touches from the owner. Flashlights for crabbing, chargers for electronics, a complete coffee bar with variety of flavors, many starter items, beach toys, beach chairs, high chair for our 1 year old grandson, pack & play. The owner really did a great job making us feel welcome at The Great Escape. Would highly recommend!

House Steps Away From the Beach

The Great Escape was clean. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cookware. The beach was steps away with access from the house. Our pup enjoyed walking on the beach and house was very dog friendly. The pictures of the house were very accurate. A very enjoyable stay.

Beautiful beach house

Our family of 8 plus 2 dogs 🐶 had an amazing week at this beautiful beach house. The views were incredible. Just sitting on the deck early in the morning watching the sun come up. The place was very clean. Everything you could need was available. Towels, Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, dog toys! Which my dogs loved. Kitchen was stocked. Great location. Beach never crowded. Nice community and local restaurants. Looking forward to coming back next year! ❤️

THE best ocean front property we have rented!

We spent most of our time indoors and on the gorgeous decks (rented in Jan) in this fabulously appointed, very comfortable, well stocked beach front home. The owner's had EVERYTHING we needed for a week and a half stay...we truly wanted for absolutely nothing, including our Scotty dog--she was so spoiled with her own bed for each bedroom! We even saw dolphin pods very close in at least twice a day, and spotted a whale on one occasion. The ease of booking and house entry made things so relaxed for us to begin our rest in N Topsail right away, not to mention the owners being so gracious. Our family will most definitely be renting The Great Escape when we next vacation in the area!

Just wow!

It felt more like a friends home then a rental. Looked just like the pictures, very well maintained and they had everything we needed. The house a whiteboard in the kitchen. We used it to plan our day and make a grocery list and play hangman. Plenty of beach chairs, toys and boards. The beach was great. About 100 feet down the beach was a turtle nest. We made lots of great memories and we want to come back next summary.

One of a kind gem!

My family and I stayed at The Great Escape for Spring Break. The views of the ocean are breathtaking. I cannot recommend this home enough. The little things meant so much. The starter pack, the flashlights for crab hunting, the doggie toys, the inspirational message jar, oh my gosh the games, the books, the high bar chairs on the porch, the chaise lounge chairs, the beach toys and chairs, I could go on and on. We were pleasantly surprised with this home and cannot wait to return. The homeowners have obviously put so much thought in to making it a special place and it surely is! Aside from how beautiful the place is it was impeccably clean and comfortably with so much space and plush furnishings. Words don't describe it. It is a gem!
