Located in Gulfport, this lovely house for $603 per night is a great option for your next vacation. This Amazing Property is like a Private Resort! Outdoor amenities such as: OUTSIDE AREAS OFFER: SWIMMING POOL a 40' x 20' in-ground Swimming Pool. 6 feet at the deep end & the 1st 8 feet offer an awesome tanning ledge. If you've got little ones, they will Love this ledge. HUGE (24' x 48') COVERED PAVILION Is at the Pool's edge offers views of the large pond, seating Hot Tub, TV & so much more! OUTSIDE KITCHEN Is under the Pavilion offering a Refrigerator, stainless steel commercial sink, a 26 foot U shaped bar with bar stools & more... and located near this area, is a large Charcoal Grill. OPTIOAL HOT TUB Large 7 - 8 Person Hot Tub under the Pavilion so no matter what the weather conditions, you can be enjoying this area. We pride ourselves on offering safe, clean properties & amenities. In order to do this, when it comes to the Large 7 - 8 person Hot Tub, there is a good deal of added expense, time, labor, & resources going into Preparing the Hot Tub. Not all of our bookings use it & it is not fair to pass this cost on to every booking. We are fully aware our competition doesn't do the complete cleaning between guests that we do; but we feel we would be remiss if we didn't. For this reason, it's an "Optional" Amenity. For those guests who wish to have the use of the Hot Tub, they will pay $125 plus taxes. POOL AREA ALSO OFFERS... A Climate controlled outside shower, tables, chairs, & Satellite TV... never miss the game! Added bonus, The "Hidden Escape" sits on 1/2 an acre, adjacent to a large pond with a small flock of ducks, areas to explore, share secrets & beautiful views.

MULTIPLE APPLIANCES From refrigerators, to ovens, to microwaves, AC units to Washer / Dryers, we believe in having our guests needs provided for & giving more than what is expected. MOBILITY CHALLENGED? This split level design allows mobility challenged guests to enter from the back of the house. The lower level offers a full bathroom with walk-in shower, 3 Bedrooms, den, game room, & small kitchenette area. For the mobility challenged, there is no need to go upstairs, but I would not say the house is "Handicap Accessible" for a wheelchair. Some doorways are narrow and there are thresholds that would be challenging for a wheelchair, but those with a walker or knee issues, they should keep this house as a good option for a large group w/ up to a few mobility challenged people. CLOSE TO EVERYTHING! Less than 8 miles from the Gulf's beaches & while located on a cul-de-sac in a residential neighborhood because of its large property footprint, fencing, & location you'll feel like you're in your own private Oasis. EXPERIENCED HOST While The Hidden Escape is new to the vacation rental market it's owner is not. Specializing in providing lodging to large groups, less than a quick 5 miles away, are her other 2 large vacation rentals... they are as follows: MY OTHER PROPERTIES (less than 5 miles from the Hidden Escape) These properties have Swimming pools, Hot Tubs, located on the Biloxi River, packed with amenities: 1. The Great Escape River House https://www.vrbo.com/351070 on VRBO Vacation Rental Since 2011 with over 180 reviews averaging a 5 star rating 2. The River Lookout https://www.vrbo.com/406326 on VRBO Vacation Rental Since 2012 with over 100 reviews averaging a 5 star rating NEED MORE ROOM? Combined, these 2 amazing River Front properties located on the Biloxi River, in the city limits of Gulfport, will sleep up to 43 people, in 28 beds. They are not next to each other but within easy walking distance. Add the Hidden Escape & these 3 houses can accommodate up to 65 people in 42 beds, 3 houses with 14 bedrooms & a huge sleeper loft! Currently the Hidden Escape is limited to 8 or so parking spaces (we looking to add another driveway), the Great Escape is not. If you book more than one house, while people counts are contractually limited to those booked to stay at that booked house, the exception is when multiple houses are booked with the Great Escape River House, which offers entertainment, sitting, parking, and more areas for larger groups than the house can sleep. FLOOR PLAN I completely get that it's hard from the photos to see if the Vacation Rental will work for your stay. Because of that, I've created floor plans for each of my Vacation Rentals. That way you can see, before booking where each room is, its location to the bathrooms, etc. The only surprises I want my guests to experience is that the house was more amazing than they expected. NOTE: This house is a Perfect place for Spiritual or Business Retreat, Golfer’s Groups (15 Individual Beds), Friends or Family Get away. It's hard for a listing site’s Rate Software to give an accurate quote for every inquiry. That said it does work well for the following Scenarios... Posted Rates are based: - 4 or more nights Booked, if the stay includes a Friday or Saturday Night - No check-in’s or outs on a Saturday - Summer ideally the check-in or out will be a Sunday The above does not describe your stay? - The listing is set for a 2 night minimum & available for 2 night bookings, just not at the posted rates... please get a personalized quote for 2 or 3 night stays. * As incredible as this home is, with all it has to offer, it's the affordable option over renting multiple houses, condos or Hotel rooms. * IF BOOKING, its Agreed: PEOPLE COUNT Indicated on the VRBO Inquiry or booking Form, both Adult & Children, represents the entire group, including ALL overnight guests (adult & children) and visiting guests. People Count does not refer to just those spending the night. The investment in this amazing 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. PETS? Pet fee is paid, Per Pet, and the Pet Policy is adhered to. 1 Dog under 20 lbs. is pre-approved, any other Pets will need to be approved and not all are, please get your Pet approval in advance.
