About the host
Hosted by Patricia Dalton
Hi! I'm Patricia: Your Dedicated Host and Adventure Enthusiast
My journey in property management began in my 20s with long-term rentals, which taught me the value of a well-kept home and happy residents. Much of my career was spent working alongside my father, and in my free hours, I cared for my mother. Though I never married, I’ve always been a favorite aunt and surrounded by family, friends, and now, my pets: a spunky Chihuahua, a chatty Shih Tzu-Poodle, and a charming orange tabby who recently won me over (I used to think I wasn’t a “cat person!”).
My love for people, hosting, and new experiences led me to the vacation rental business, where I get to personally ensure every guest’s stay is exceptional. Unlike my past venture with franchised salons, hosting vacation rentals means I oversee every detail, and if anything ever needs attention, my trusted local contractors are on call, often responding within minutes.
Outside of work, I’m an adventurer at heart—whether it’s snorkeling with sharks, skydiving, or riding roller coasters, I’m always up for excitement! I love four-wheeling, jet skiing, and dancing (though I’m no pro), and I live to travel, with my passport always ready for the next adventure.
Running my vacation rentals gives me freedom, allowing me to handle bookings, guest communication, and property upkeep—often working late and starting my day closer to noon, which suits this business perfectly. My guests are also provided with two additional contacts, so support is always available.
With almost 40 years in real estate and extensive experience in hospitality, I take pride in building lasting connections with guests, especially those who return year after year. My goal is to exceed expectations every time, turning each stay into an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a host who values comfort, reliability, and a touch of fun, I’d love to welcome you to one of my river houses!

Why they chose this property
Since 1996, my family has cherished a riverside camp on the Biloxi River—a true slice of paradise. From early on, I dreamed of sharing this beautiful area with others. So, when a neighboring home came up for sale in April 2005, I jumped at the chance to settle here permanently. The house was an impressive 2,400 square feet, and after Hurricane Katrina hit later that year, I turned this property into my dream home, complete with everything on my wish list. By the end, it had grown to a spacious 4,500 square feet, perfect for family gatherings and friendly get-togethers.
It didn’t take long, though, to realize the house was far more than I needed. While friends and family visited often, I still found myself with plenty of extra room. I also hadn’t anticipated how much it would cost to maintain the Great Escape River House. That’s when the idea of sharing my piece of paradise with travelers truly took hold.
I knew many guests would be like me—people who want a unique, relaxing experience that a hotel just can’t provide, and who would appreciate and respect a home away from home. Opening my property to guests who want to create amazing memories with their favorite people was a perfect solution.
My background in the service industry has instilled a commitment to providing clean, comfortable, and exceptional vacation homes. The Great Escape River House is designed to offer a resort-style experience, and I take pride in ensuring it’s as wonderful as advertised.
I invite you to read our reviews—guests often say the house has delivered an unforgettable experience, and nothing makes me happier. I know you have many choices when selecting a vacation rental, and I hope you’ll choose one of my river homes for your next stay.
