"The Great Escape" a 4 bed/2bath home in Village of Stump Sound

Do you plan on staying between Oct 15 and March 15, and don’t need to whole house, ask me how you can qualify for a cleaning and linen refund. This is very appealing for someone looking to only use 1-2 bedrooms.

This Oceanfront 4 bedroom 2.5 bath in the sought after Village of Stump sound will have you in awe with it's panoramic views of the ocean. The Village of Stump Sound offers a pool, tennis courts, boat ramp, day dock for launching kayaks and paddle boards.

The Great Escape has it's own beach access now, yes you heard me, walk right over to the beach from the house.

On the top level you will find a fully stocked kitchen that will make cooking and entertaining easy and fun. This level you will be able to enjoy your views from within the home or on the larges decks. The sofas are comfy and there is plenty of dining area for everyone in your party.

All four bedrooms can be found on the same floor, which is rare these days. 3 of the four rooms have access to the oceanfront deck. The King suite has its own bathroom and sliders out to the deck. The other king room has access to the shared bath, within the room. The other two beds have pyramid type bunks that can easily sleep 3. On this level you will also find a washer and dryer.

Like to bike, this area is very private and you can get out and safely bike the neighborhood.

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!

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

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...

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.

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!

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!

Wish we had longer
Thanks for letting us enjoy your house we were able to gather from 3 different states and enjoy the ocean together. Really appreciate your love of dogs he enjoyed the treats. The flash lights for hunting crabs were helpful for that and walking the dog at night. All the extra things to use were so helpful. Thank you

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.

Can't miss stay on Topsail Island
Can't say enough good things about our experience at The Great Escape. The property was beautiful and was exactly as described/pictured. Having stayed in 10+ beach rentals in the last few years, this was definitely the cleanest and best furnished. Lots of great little touches (like the fully stocked coffee station, paper towels, dish soap, etc) and very suitable for little kids. The location itself was a dream; located in a quiet private neighborhood that made it seem like we had our own private beach. Our only regret was not staying longer. We will be back.

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!
