PEOPLE COUNT
Indicated on the VRBO Inquiry or booking Form, both Adult and Children, represents the entire group, both overnight guests (adult and children) and visiting guests.

Sometimes folks think count only refers to those that sleep the night. ThIs amazing home, the amenities provided, The investment in this home, to make it a small private resort, is barely tied up in bedding. Other vacation homes, will restrict visitors by their size, parking, condo security, etc. At this house, we require full disclosure of all guests to this house and to be fairly compensated, per guest, over the count the rate is based on.

PET
Pet fee is paid, Per Pet, and the Pet Policy is adhered to. Dogs under 20 lbs. are approved, any other Pet will need to be approved and not all are, please get your Pet approval in Advance.

THE GREAT ESCAPE RIVER HOUSE
There are less than .005% of all Vacation Homes that sleep over 26 people. That is only based on sleeping people count. Add to it all the amenities this house has to offer and .... You've basically found the "Unicorn" of Vacation Rentals. Here's just some of what this amazing House has to offer:

AFFORDABLE:
Think about It . . . When a couple plans a getaway, in a one bedroom condo, they may pay $100 per person, per night, to stay... For a tiny place, where they hear the neighbors, share a pool. ... A local casino, possibly $150 a person, per night.

The above is mentioned to point out the house is in everyone's budget, if you've got the people count. If your people count is less, it may not be the most economical option. Please check out my 2nd vacation home, River Lookout, VRBO #406326, which has many of the same Amenities and if booked w this house, combined sleep 43 people. They are within easy walking distance.

Golf getaway
The house was even better than described. It’s a secluded location but within 25 minutes to everything we needed…golf courses and casinos. We had 16 at the house and had enough beds and bathrooms to enjoy each night. The kitchen area is huge with more space than you know what to do with. Outdoor area by hot tub is huge with tons of seating as well. New sectional in living area was really nice too. If you are a big golf group or just a family retreat you cannot go wrong with this place. Will book again.

Golf trip
The location accomplished everything we wanted to. We had eight guys and wanted to be able to hang out together after we played golf and the house provided that. Some guys hung out in the hot tub, some guys played cards, some guys watch the NCAA tournament. All meals were easy with the extra large kitchen and plenty of room to sit. Also the location was convenient that we were never more than 20 minutes from any of the golf courses we played over the course of four days

Stayed here in May with 12 men on a golf trip. I have been doing a golf trip with these guys for 22 years and tis is in the top 2 places we have stayed at. The accommodations are top notch. Pleanty of beds for each guy. Great living area with so much room--no one ever got cramped. The outside area was great with the pool and Hot tub. Also great for grilling. The kitchen was so great that we never went out to eat. This place is more prepared for a group than any place I have been--3 coffee makers--3 dishwashers. Its a must stay at. I plan on making it our yearly place to go. Owners was also great to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Dalton

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Patricia: Your Dedicated Host and Adventure Enthusiast

My journey in property management began in my 20s with long-term rentals, which taught me the value of a well-kept home and happy residents. Much of my career was spent working alongside my father, and in my free hours, I cared for my mother. Though I never married, I’ve always been a favorite aunt and surrounded by family, friends, and now, my pets: a spunky Chihuahua, a chatty Shih Tzu-Poodle, and a charming orange tabby who recently won me over (I used to think I wasn’t a “cat person!”).

My love for people, hosting, and new experiences led me to the vacation rental business, where I get to personally ensure every guest’s stay is exceptional. Unlike my past venture with franchised salons, hosting vacation rentals means I oversee every detail, and if anything ever needs attention, my trusted local contractors are on call, often responding within minutes.

Outside of work, I’m an adventurer at heart—whether it’s snorkeling with sharks, skydiving, or riding roller coasters, I’m always up for excitement! I love four-wheeling, jet skiing, and dancing (though I’m no pro), and I live to travel, with my passport always ready for the next adventure.

Running my vacation rentals gives me freedom, allowing me to handle bookings, guest communication, and property upkeep—often working late and starting my day closer to noon, which suits this business perfectly. My guests are also provided with two additional contacts, so support is always available.

With almost 40 years in real estate and extensive experience in hospitality, I take pride in building lasting connections with guests, especially those who return year after year. My goal is to exceed expectations every time, turning each stay into an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a host who values comfort, reliability, and a touch of fun, I’d love to welcome you to one of my river houses!

Why they chose this property

Since 1996, my family has cherished a riverside camp on the Biloxi River—a true slice of paradise. From early on, I dreamed of sharing this beautiful area with others. So, when a neighboring home came up for sale in April 2005, I jumped at the chance to settle here permanently. The house was an impressive 2,400 square feet, and after Hurricane Katrina hit later that year, I turned this property into my dream home, complete with everything on my wish list. By the end, it had grown to a spacious 4,500 square feet, perfect for family gatherings and friendly get-togethers.

It didn’t take long, though, to realize the house was far more than I needed. While friends and family visited often, I still found myself with plenty of extra room. I also hadn’t anticipated how much it would cost to maintain the Great Escape River House. That’s when the idea of sharing my piece of paradise with travelers truly took hold.

I knew many guests would be like me—people who want a unique, relaxing experience that a hotel just can’t provide, and who would appreciate and respect a home away from home. Opening my property to guests who want to create amazing memories with their favorite people was a perfect solution.

My background in the service industry has instilled a commitment to providing clean, comfortable, and exceptional vacation homes. The Great Escape River House is designed to offer a resort-style experience, and I take pride in ensuring it’s as wonderful as advertised.

I invite you to read our reviews—guests often say the house has delivered an unforgettable experience, and nothing makes me happier. I know you have many choices when selecting a vacation rental, and I hope you’ll choose one of my river homes for your next stay.

What makes this property unique

The Great Escape River House offers an extraordinary experience unlike anything else on the Coast-maybe anywhere! With exclusive amenities, ample space, & prime riverside location, this property is designed to provide an unforgettable stay for up to 27 guests.
