About this house rental

River Lookout - A Unique Vacation Rental

THIS IS THE PARADISE VACATION HOME YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!

If you are looking for a peaceful, "getaway from it all" vacation or a vacation where you stay in a secluded area, but are just minutes away from awesome dining, great shopping, casinos, golf courses, Gulf of Mexico Beaches, and entertainment, this is the place for you and your group. Close to the fun, yet feeling like you've gotten away from it all.

HOUSE FLOOR PLAN:
With every quote, a House Floor Plan is sent. This Floor plan is very detailed and the measurements are quite accurate. In addition, the floor plan depicts the surrounding grounds, the house's placement to the pool, river, etc. It's an amazing place.... But not every place, is perfect for every guest. Viewing this Floor Plan, checking out the amenities, looking at the photos, will ensure there are no unpleasant surprises.

LUGGAGE / GROCERY LIFT
River Lookout has a luggage lift, but is NOT handicap accessible and this Lift is NOT for passengers. Guests will need to climb a set of stairs, the house is elevated. The stairs are the same as you would find in a 2 story house with 8 foot ceilings and a 2nd story. At the top of the stairs is the house (all on one level). .

If you've got someone mobility challenged in your group, my other house, the Great Escape River House, #351070 on VRBO, sleeping up to 27 people, with a Passenger Elevator, may suit your group better.... it has many of the same amenities you'll find in the River Lookout, except on a larger scale.

AMAZING FEATURES:
What sets the River Lookout apart from other Vacation Rentals?

OUTSIDE:
💥PRIVATE 14' x 28' In-ground swimming pool
(Rates reflect pools expected use between Mid March-Mid October)
💎60' Covered deck just outside the front door Offering great views of the property in an amazing tranquil Park like setting
💎Deck is Elevated providing awesome shaded area under the deck as well (over a 1000 sq ft of covered areas).
💥Luggage / Grocery Lift to easily move supplies from ground floor to 2nd floor
💥7/2023 Climate controlled Game Room opened (still a bit of a work in progress). At this posting, our only game is a pool table. Game Room is located at ground level and on Hot Days also offers a place to keep cool without heading upstairs.
💎Pool Table in the Game Room
💎Fire Pit with the option to have Firewood delivered prior to arrival
💎While in the city limits of Gulfport, this is not in a 'cookie-cutter' subdivision
💥Optional Hot tub, $125 (plus Taxes) for any stay up to 7 nights. This option needs to be added after booking and MUST be invoiced for and on the calendar at least 2 week prior to arrival. If included, prior to your arrival, the water is completely drained, the tub is cleaned, rinsed, drained (again), filled, treated, and heated. Time released tablets keep the hot tub clean throughout your stay. The tablets are not magic tablets. Guests must enter tub tub clean to maintain good water quality throughout their stay.
💎The grounds are tranquil in a park-like atmosphere
💎Plenty of parking for house occupants
💎On a mostly lazy River (the Biloxi River), with a private beach/sand bar
💎Bringing your boat? Tie it to a tree or the Pavilion at the sandbar
💎2 areas to grill
💎Continuous Hot Water
💎10 individual beds, 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms
💎This is YOUR private Resort

All of this for the private use of the Booked Overnight Guests of the River Lookout

....meaning your enjoyment of Gulfport isn't contingent on what you do or what you see in Biloxi/Gulfport. Between the River, house's amenities, river views, you can have a very relaxing stay away from it all. It is not like leaving your suburb home and going to another suburb home.

Offering access to, depending on River Levels, a small beach at high tide; a nice sandbar at low tide.

RATES:
This listing site's Rate Structure does not work well for my larger houses'. It works fine for smaller rentals, but doesn't take into account the unique challenges of the larger vacation homes. The posted rates will work for the majority of bookings, but not for every booking. So inquiring Potential guests are not surprised by their quote, its important to note:

Posted Rates are based on:
- Stays, over a weekend, being 4 or more nights
- No check-in or out on a Saturday
- The Guest count entered when booking includes all (overnighters and any visitors / all children and adults)
- If a dog is accompanying any member of your group, this is noted on the inquiry and Pet Fee paid
- Compliance with the Rental Agreement
- Hot Tub is optional ($125 plus taxes) and must be paid for in advance at least 2 weeks prior to arrival (this is done through VRBO).
- Unless declared in advance, there will be no visitors

That said, quotes for stays that don't meet the above criteria will be given, but they may be at a slightly higher rate.

RATES based on GUEST COUNT
To keep the house rented and since 16 people rarely travel together, rates are based on less than the house can sleep.... Usually 10 people or less; above 10, there is a per person per night booked fee. This allows us to be competitively priced for smaller groups, but priced right for larger groups.

We enjoyed our stay. We rented the Great Escape a while back and we were so pleased with the stay. To be honest, after staying in the Great Escape, we were quite disappointed with the River Lookout. When we drove up we thought we were in the wrong place judging from the exterior look of the house. We realize the rent on River Lookout is much cheaper, but we truly expected it to be a mini version of the Great Escape, judging from the photos.

The description says "River Front Home" Its a Camp on the river. The ride to the "camp" and the area where the "camp" is was very sketchy. 2 homeless dwellings on the way to "camp". The beds were VERY uncomfortable, really bad mattresses with sink holes in them. Bathroom sink drained really slow in the hall bathroom. Cannot see the river from "camp", was overgrown with trees. Foosball table was rusted and dirty with NO ball to play. The 2 pool tables are very dated and dirty. No complete set of balls for one table and NO balls or pool sticks at all for the other really dirty one on top level. Spider webs all over and FLIES, FLIES and more FLIES around the whole "camp" inside and outside. Hot tub was dirty. Had an issue with ants in it but was refunded very promptly. Was NOT pleased with this facility. Needs lots of maintenance. Description is VERY exaggerated and misleading. Patricia was very easy to communicate with. We have been to many places through VRBO and we WOULD NOT recommend this for a nice family get away. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

First of all, we loved the outside area! There were plenty of room. Loved the amenities of this house but did not get to really enjoy due to outside obligations! Wish we had a few more days! The only suggestion would be to add bigger televisions & maybe make handicape accessible. 16 stairs were a bit much for my Mother and I would have loved to be able to invite my wheelchair bound Aunt! The 4 page rental agreement is a bit intimidating but after meeting our host, Patricia we realize we were going to have a great stay! She was very helpful & always a phone call away!

Patricia and her team made our first family vacation an amazing one. From the communication before we even began our journey to the immediate responses while at the property! The house was a perfect fit for us with all the amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to another vacation hopefully booking with Patricia!!
