I want to say how nice it is to back up to the house and have about four steps to carry your luggage into the house! You can see the beach access about 3 short blocks away. Wondering places to walk the dogs. This is the most quiet place i have ever stayed. Plan on staying here again for sure. Great restaurants close by.

Excellent stay

This house was clean upon arrival and Van was very open and communicated well through-out the entire stay. The walk to the beach was less than five minutes, which was great when traveling with a child and dog. We are already making arrangements for a second stay.

Cute cottage close to beach

We enjoyed our stay at the “Escape Hatch”. A few minutes walk to the beach in a cute little cottage, located in a quiet neighborhood. Van was easy to communicate with and informative about the area. We hope to return next year!

Short get away

The place was just as it stayed in the VRBO listing. It was clean and neat. Very convenient to beach and some restaurants as well as some shops. We loved that we got to take our dog with us. We loved the porch chairs where we could drink coffee and relax in the mornings and evenings. The weather was beautiful the days we stayed. We would stay here again for sure.

Perfect dog-friendly spot in Atlantic Beach

My wife and I stayed at the Escape Hatch between Christmas and New Year's with our dog. The location and amenities were perfect for us. The house was clean with a well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed relaxing on the wrap-around deck in the mornings with our coffee. The location was great. It is a short walk from the beach and several restaurants/bars, and a short drive to Fort Macon State Park. Staying in winter we didn't take advantage of the kayaks, but will keep in mind for a future visit!

Escape Hatch

This place is truly an escape hatch. The location to the beach and shopping places are right at your doorstep. The neighborhood is quiet and has beautiful landscaping. The house is equipped with everything you need and the host was always in touch and available. If you want to get away to escape and refresh, this is a place for you.
