WONDERFUL VACATION
This was our first time at A GREAT ESCAPE and our first time on St George Island. It was the most relaxing place to stay! The house was so clean and beautifully decorated. Loved waking up to an unobstructive view of only the beach with the tranquility of water and the sound of waves! We saw tons of dolphins every day. Lots of games to play and we spent time painting seashells with acrylic paint that was provided. Another nice added touch was the motion lights on the steps leading up to the house, it provided extra security and safety. The deck was wonderful with lots of seating. Some of the furniture will excite the Disney lover! Definitely will book again. The island was so quaint and peaceful and the locals were extremely friendly. We enjoyed the local restaurants and shops and all the entertainment it had to offer. We'd recommend A GREAT ESCAPE to everyone!- Anonymous U , Posted: 03/03/2025Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your first visit to A GREAT ESCAPE and St. George Island was such a relaxing and memorable experience. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the breathtaking beachfront views, the cozy and clean home, and all the little touches—like the games, seashell painting, and motion lights—that helped make your stay extra special. Watching dolphins every day sounds like an incredible bonus! We’re also happy that you found the island’s charm and hospitality so welcoming. It truly is a hidden gem! We’d love to host you again for another peaceful getaway. Until next time!

Relaxing Christmas Vacation
A Great Escape was a wonderful place to spend Christmas with my family. The layout of the house is perfect with a center communal area and a pair of bedrooms and a bathroom on each side of the house that allowed everyone their own space. The house is located right on the beach, and the location is a couple miles away from the island’s main entrance, so it was very peaceful and uncrowded. I can’t wait to return to St. George Island again!- Anonymous U , Posted: 01/01/2024Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We're so glad A Great Escape provided the perfect setting for your family Christmas celebration.

We love this updated house!
A Great Escape has recently been updated and it is fantastic! We had rented it multiple times a few years ago but switched to other houses that were more recently updated. Seeing that the house has been totally redecorated, we rented it again. The owner has totally transformed this house and it is now beautiful! It is bright and airy. The furnishings have all been replaced since we last rented it. The king beds are very comfortable, the TV's are excellent and we could not have been happier.- Anonymous U , Posted: 02/02/2026Thank you for returning to A Great Escape! We’re thrilled you love the updates and that the new décor, furnishings, and amenities made your stay so comfortable. It’s wonderful to hear the house feels bright, refreshed, and better than ever.

A Great Escape - Perfect!
Everything was perfect. The house was spotless and the furniture was very comfortable. Most of our time was spent on the deck. With the middle section of the deck being covered we could sit out anytime of day and have shade if we wanted. I cannot say enough good things about this house. The location was great and we had a most enjoyable stay. I highly recommend A Great Escape and Collins Vacation Rentals!!- Karen S from Kennesaw, Posted: 05/16/2024Thank you for taking the time to leave a review we appreciate your feedback!

Perfect Beach House!
First time to SGI with our family. What a gem this island is and what a perfect beach house A Great Escape is! The location cannot be beat! Steps to the beach and being as far east as the house is, the beach is so incredibly uncrowded! We felt like we had our own private beach. House was spotlessly cleaned and check in and check out were a breeze. Our family loved everything about this vacation and this house.- Anonymous U , Posted: 07/28/2025Thank you for sharing such a glowing review!
It’s wonderful to hear that your first visit to SGI was such a memorable one—and that A Great Escape lived up to its name.
The east end of the island really does offer that rare sense of seclusion, and having the beach just steps away must have made every moment feel like paradise.
We’re thrilled the home was spotless and that the check-in process was smooth—those little details make a big difference.
It sounds like your family found the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable escape!
