About the host
Hosted by Cynthia
Our family loves 'The Great Escape' and so will you. The home is impeccable and we want families or mature couples to enjoy it like we do and care for it like it was your own. Once you stay here, you will want to come back.
Why they chose this property
This home has a great view of the lake, and you can see Ocean Avenue and the beach from the front porch. No other rental on this street has this view. It is warm, cozy and inviting. You will feel at home. The close proximity to the lake, ocean and nearby amenities make the location perfect. The grounds are beautiful, and the small fish pond with waterfall and lush plants and flowers, delightful to relax by.
What makes this property unique
Excellent location and value. You won't want to leave, but you surely will want to return again soon!
