Beautiful house in a fantastic location. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our family vacation. The elevator was a great touch for a couple of our elderly family members. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Donna,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so happy you and your twin chose to celebrate your 79th birthday with us — what a special occasion! It’s wonderful to hear that your husbands enjoyed fishing and crabbing from the dock, and that the elevator made your stay more comfortable.
We truly appreciate your thoughtful comments about the home and hosting. It was a pleasure having you all as guests, and we’d love to welcome you back again anytime. Wishing you both a very happy birthday and many more wonderful celebrations ahead!
This property is a total gem. I was blown away by the interior the master suite is luxurious, and the kitchen was easily my favorite part of the home. The views from the balcony are simply magnificent; you can truly get lost in the beauty of the sunrises and sunsets. The house was impeccably clean, well maintained, and worth every penny. Debbie is an amazing host who clearly takes pride in her home, and my kids absolutely loved their stay. We will definitely be back the first opportunity we get
Listing had accurate information. Very nice access to water for boating and Quiet neighborhood.

Thank you Ruth for your review of Paradise Escape, as a brand new listing and home, we would love to hear more about what could have offered or provided to take your already wonderful stay to a 10 out of 10. !?!
Pros: We thoroughly enjoyed the great location on the river with a beautiful dock, wonderful porches, and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The house is new and nicely decorated. Cons: The kitchen was stocked with dirty, badly worn pots and pans. This was shocking because everything else in the house is new and also problematic as we were planning to cook all our meals at the house. We did alert the host that only a total of 3 pots and pans were usable but there was no offer to fix it, so we had to go to the local Dollar General to buy a skillet and cookie sheet (Walmart and other larger stores and restaurants are 30 minutes away in Jacksonville). Also, while the online pic of the downstairs kitchenette showed a keurig, there was none. Four bedrooms were a great size and very nice (2 have their own bathrooms, 2 share a jack and jill, and the fifth has a half bath near it). The fifth bedroom was small, not as nicely decorated, and had a rock hard mattress that hurt our son's shoulder. It was also very inconvenient because the doors to the laundry area, when opened, blocked the doors to the fifth bedroom AND the half bath, so that was very awkward (folding bifold doors would have been better). Overall, we would recommend this beautiful house if the kitchen amenities were upgraded and expanded, and the fifth bedroom be made more comfortable for future guests.
We loved this home, one of the best rentals we've ever stayed in. It was perfect for my family and I and it had everything we needed for our stay It was super clean. The view was gorgeous. There were so places to sit and relax with everyone, inside and out. I can't say enough nice things about this place. The pictures did not do it justice. There was plenty of parking. There was an elevator to get our bags upstairs. The dock out back was a great spot to sit or fish, beautiful sunsets. Great communication from the host.We were about a ten minute drive to today beach and a few local markets. About 20 or so minutes to bigger stores and Surf City. A great, quieter section of the coast.10 out of 10, I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation. I hope we get to stay again sometime.
