About Our Company
About Great Escapes
Our goal is simple: We want you to feel that you are our guest of honor. We pride ourselves on our commitment to quality, well-maintained vacation rental homes. We have the most dedicated housekeeping staff and our attention to detail is what sets us apart. We have been serving the Outer Banks vacation rental community since 2015 and already have a reputation for excellence.
Why we love the Outer Banks
This paragraph could go on for days because there are so many things to love about life here on the Outer Banks. The peaceful sound of the ocean is obviously a huge draw. We even love the raging, crashing waves on stormy days.
We also can’t get enough of the fabulous restaurants! Going out to eat is one of our favorite things to do and living in a vacation-friendly area means that we have plenty of awesome choices.
But what we really adore about this area is the community. The people here are just wonderful, and we also LOVE meeting our guests! Come stay with us!

Why we are the best:
Excellent Communication
We take pride in keeping the lines of communication open with our guests. From the initial inquiry through the actual reservation, we are here for our guests throughout their stay and even after they depart for home.
We Care
We truly love hearing from our guests that the home they chose for their vacation rental was perfect for them.
If there is ever a problem, please let us know!
We love the OBX
This area means a lot to us and that is why we love what we do. We are so proud and happy to share everything we know about the Northern Outer Banks with YOU, our special guests!

“… I emailed (Patti) all of my concerns and issues and she replied back ASAP every time. The housekeeper was still on site when we arrived and she was very friendly and helpful. Rich came by to fix the elevator because we didn’t close the inside door all the way, within minutes of my text to customer service.”
