About Us

Dear Guest,

Welcome to The Great Escape!  This is our home away from home.  We built this house in 1999 when we were living in Boston, MA and needed a place to "escape" to.  We found Destin.  Most of our family and friends had not heard of Destin and thought we crazy to be building a vacation home so far away.  They also thought it would be impossible to rent and manage from so far away.  Well, 9 successful years later we're still at it and loving it.  We get down to Destin a few times every year; although it is never enough and the visits are too short!  Destin is like an addiction!  We just want to go back for more.  And, the more we talk to people, we learn we're not the only ones who feel this way.  People have been going to Destin year after year - for 15-20 years or more!  We love Destin, the people, the incredible beaches and the wonderful memories we build with each trip.  We've had over 100 families stay at the Great Escape and many return each year.  As a mother of 6 year old twins and a two year old, our lives are extremely busy and I look forward to our weekly vacation each year.  Although, I'm not sure how much of a vacation I get!  Do mom"s ever go on vacation?!  We strive to make the Great Escape a wonderful, relaxing experience for all of our guests and are sure you will enjoy it, and Destin, as much as we do.  We look forward to having you visit!

Warm Regards,

Nancy, Scott, Charlie, Gracie & Sophie
