Great floor plan for hosting multiple families and events. All of the bedrooms and living areas are located on a single floor and are easily accessible by either stairs or the elevator.As a Pensacola Beach resident, I needed extra space to accommodate friends and family for my mother's 90th birthday celebration. Thanks to the thoughtful layout, we ended up hosting the party at the house, and it was perfect.The open-concept design, combined with the expansive deck, provided more than enough room for our group of over 30 guests. Another major plus was the ample parking, which made it easy to accommodate a large crowd.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're glad The Great Escape's single-floor layout and elevator made hosting your mother's 90th birthday easy.

Property was beautiful, and the perfect location for our get together. The booking process was super easy, and we had all the information we needed. The crows nest had the most beautiful sunset, and was the perfect place to have a quiet area away. We had 12 people staying and never once felt crowded. If you plan to cook for a crowd, make sure to bring extra trash bags, dishwashing pods, and seasonings to cook. Salt and pepper was available!The only “downside” was there is limited lighting on the back patio. We went to Walmart and bought a few string lights, and strung them and it worked wonderful. Wasn’t anything that impacted our stay, but just a heads up incase you plan to use the pool/grill area in the evenings!If I stayed again, I would definitely pay to go ahead and heat the pool. We stayed in September and it was still surprisingly chilly in the pool.

Great spacious property with plenty of room for our crew (13) next to the beach. Beach access is across the street. There is a nice beach view from the house even though there is a house across the street. There is a vacant lot in front of the house so you have good views of the ocean. The house was clean and up-to-date. The pool was smallish but nice. The living area is massive. Bedrooms are good sized. There is an elevator and the elevator fee is waved for seniors. Access to restaurants, shopping on the island, and groceries was easy as well. There are plenty of good family friendly choices for dining on Pensacola Beach.

Great vacation home for a large group!

Perfect for a large group! Very clean! Plenty of room for everyone. Lots of seating, large kitchen, gorgeous views! We paid to heat the pool & it was very warm. Worth the extra money if you are visiting during the cooler months.

The house was spacious and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked although a few basic spices would have been nice. The pool had a deep tiered shelf in the shallow end that was great for infants and toddlers. Each bedroom had its own bath which worked very well for each family/couple. Our family of 12 adults and four children under 5 raved about the space, large porch, and short distance to the beach. We would definitely stay in this house again!

Perfect setup

We had 5 couples all in our 50’s and the setup of the house was perfect! We all had our own bathroom in our bedrooms and even an extra half bath. We loved the openness of the kitchen, dining and living room. The beach entrance was right across the street so very easy walk packing all our stuff. Great experience!

Army/Navy Beach Stay

Sweet place with plenty of bedrooms/beds. Loved the openness of the kitchen/dining/living rooms, too! Great outdoor spaces as well, with spectacular views of the Gulf! Pool was used daily, so having it heated was a must. Only thing lacking were some basics such as coffee/filters, dishwasher soap, and laundry detergent. Also, better instructions on how to lock the doors.

Excellent house for larger families! Great location!

We rented The Great Escape for 4 nights. The house was in very good condition and seemed fairly new. Overall was perfect for our large family. Eight adults and eight children. The only negative was the elevator didn’t work at the time and would have helped hauling baby stuff. But it is what it is. Would definitely rent again.

Great House

Everything about the home was perfect except for the lack of towel bars in the bathrooms. 6 bathrooms with no place to hang towels didn't make sense to us. Front door sticks and makes it very difficult for people to open and close, especially children. Air conditioner is leaking outside and could cause problems with wood rotting in the support system below. We loved the house and are just offering these observations for the owners.

Thank you for the great review! We will bring up the towel bar situation with the owner and see if they want to add some towel bars, might be a great suggestion. Also, the air conditioning unit was replaced not to long after your stay, brand new A/C unit is in place as of now. Thanks again, and hope to have you back soon - Gulf Coast Getaways

A Place With A Space For Everybody

This property was so perfect for our group of 12 (6 couples). Each couple had a private room and bath to retreat to when they wanted privacy or chose to retire. The common area was very spacious and easily accommodated the 12 of us when we chose to eat or do other activities together. We could even have serparate activities going on in the same room without conflict. The pool area was well-maintained and easily accommodated all of us. (I would advise requesting that the pool be heated if you go in October or later.) The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pots and cooking utensils. All appliances worked as expected; when we had an issue with the TV, Debi sent a maintenance man immediately and when he could not fix the problem, the TV was replaced the next morning. The location of the property was a huge bonus. The beach is literally across the street! I would definitely recommend this property, especially for large groups.

Excellent Beach Home!

Our large extended family loved this property. The pool was amazing-especially the tanning ledge for small children. There is excellent proximity to the beach as described and we had 4 children under 5 years of age. The breeze and views at night were wonderful. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is a beach closet loaded with everything imaginable. My only suggestion would be adding room darkening shades. The blinds are transparent which made sleeping past dawn with small children tricky. Otherwise, perfect!

Family vaca at the beach

This beach house was perfect for our large family. Each bedroom has their own bathroom, the kitchen island was incredible, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need during your stay for cooking and entertaining and the extra refrigerator and wine cooler fridge was great! There is a beach/pool closet downstairs for your beach and pool necessities…a few beach chairs, toys, boogie boards, beach wagon…all beach umbrellas were broke though. The pool was a big hit with the kids too! Plenty of parking and just a few steps away from the beach. The beach is by far the cleanest beach we have seen. Never crowded and just beautiful! Few minute drive to restaurants, bars and entertainment. My only suggestion is to put towel hooks or towel bars in the bathrooms because we had no where to hang towels, wet bathing suits, or travel bags. We will definitely be going back!!

Great Family Getaway

Lucky Thirteen of us made this property our family home for seven days in early March, with our adult kids and their young children. We thoroughly enjoyed our time! This single-level house is comfortably furnished and offers plenty of space with six sizeable bedrooms, each with a full ensuite bathroom. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with two ovens and plenty of pantry and counter space for multiple chefs at the same time. The additional refrigerator nearby in the laundry room also came in handy. The gathering spaces, indoor and out, are large and provided ideal space for everyone to eat, relax and spend time together. The huge front deck was a favorite place to hang out, enjoy the breeze and gulf view, and it gave the grandchildren lots of room to play safely. The crow’s nest was a perfect spot for retreat or to watch some beautiful sunsets. There was plenty of parking under and in front of the house. The house is located steps from the beach with a sandy access path directly across the street. As this section of the island is primarily residences and rental homes, the beaches were never crowded. The family also enjoyed the safety-gated pool and fenced grounds in the back of the property – we did opt to have the pool heater turned on as the evenings were cool. The property management company was efficient and very timely in answering the few questions we had and the check-in and out process was seamless. The property was clean and well maintained and we appreciated having access to the elevator for hauling luggage and groceries up to the main level. Pensacola Beach is a hidden gem, having, in our opinion, the most beautiful beaches and coastline in the US. There are many good restaurants and entertaining bars in the area, and a major grocery store nearby in Gulf Breeze. We visited in early March, just before Spring Break and were blessed with warm temperatures and no rain! We will definitely be back to Pensacola Beach and highly recommend this property for any large family gatherings.

The views from not only the 2nd floor balcony but from the front bedrooms were awesome. Waking up to the sun gleaming off of the gulf was a real treat. The home is excellent - bedrooms were large and you didn't feel cramped. Great place to stay - we plan to go back.
