Everything was exactly as it’s listed. Wonderful little piece of serenity with a view and access to the beach that was phenomenal! The weather was perfect during our stay and we look forward to visiting again! It was like we had our own little private beach!
Sunset was always gorgeous!
Just us on the beach!

My family and I had a great stay at great escape. The house was nice (well stocked with everything you will inevitably forget) and the location was perfect! On our last full day we had a new turtle nest right at the end of the houses boardwalk, my kids thought it was super cool. The host was great with responding to my silly questions and overall a great experience.

Great Stay

This place was set up very well! Loved all the extra perks! We always take extra stuff with us when staying at places. This places provided extra toilet paper, garbage bags, beach towels etc. It was a nice touch, we also loved the Nespresso Machine….we will be purchasing one for our home! The location was great! Quick walk to the trading post and also the sea food place right next door!! Can’t get any closer to the beach and a quick drive to the bay! I love to paddle board and was able to paddle on the gulf and take a 2 min drive to the bay! Sunsets were gorgeous! They even had a nice bed for the doggies! We had a great time at the Cape and loved our stay!

Perfect!

My husband and I loved our stay here for our anniversary. The location is perfect and we loved having our own private access to the beach. The house has everything you can think to make your vacation awesome including binoculars for dolphin spotting and tons of books for beach reading! We can’t wait to come back!
