Amazing House in a Phenomenal Location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks in Gulfport at this amazing home! Could not have improved upon the location and house was cozy and comfortable. Loved the comfy beds, couch and chair. The beachfront location was the best amenity and we enjoyed it everyday. We will definitely be back!!

Nice spot, worked we for us.

Old school Florida Spanish style home. 3 units in the home. Pictures very accuracy as well as the online listing. This is not a Hilton/Marriott type property, but worked very well for my group of 3 adults and pre-teen. Can walk to beach/park/restaurants. Would stay here again if in the area.

Great little hideaway

The property itself is really great; very homey and nostalgic Florida beach styling. A lot of the interior is showing its age, so be gentle with door handles and such. The private beach is nice, just make sure you plan your swims around high tide. Location is amazing, and Gulfport is beautiful. You are literally two blocks away from Gulfport's main street, where the night life is pretty great. You are also 30 minutes from downtown Tampa, which is just a straight shot across I275.

Picture Perfect Backyard

This is the cutest place! We were there for a fishing charter out of Gulfport Marina. We went to the beach a couple of days and an all day fish trip. This is a great location walkable to eateries. A nice shady park right next door to the property with a pier to fish from if you like. Quality restaurants are very near. I loved not having to get back in the car after a long day at the beach. The back yard down by the water is a picture postcard view. I could sit there all day and watch the dolphins go by. The house is old and full of character. The real wood floors take me back to grandmas house. Accented with the glass door knobs and splashes of vintage furnishings. It is a functional art piece flash to the past. I found it to be a good value for all that is offered! We added a extra day stay and I would stay there again.

Quaint and Gorgeous

Loved this property! There was plenty of room for me, my sister, and mother. The beds and common living seating area were comfortable. We enjoyed drinking wine, listening to music on the boom box (we purchased a few more music options and left them), as well as watching our favorite movies on the smart TV. We did not use any of the appliances (besides refrigerator) on this stay as this property was so close to all the shops, restaurants, and beach. A cute little gem in this quaint little town. We did venture into the back yard to scope out the water access and there was too much debris on the shore line to enjoy the view back there. This was fine with us though since the main beach access was within walking distance. I was so surprised how quiet it was even though it sits almost directly across from O’Malleys but we didn’t hear a peep coming from there. Would definitely stay here again.

Very Overated

Beds were horrible, I was unable to enjoy any time during our visit to Florida, due to the beds being extremely uncomfortable had to visit a chiropractor to walk the following day. Myself and family was effected. Short dark hairs in the tub that was not ours, we didn’t shower there because of the private area body hair left in tub. Noticeable mold on the ceilings. Left after 1 night. I camp and have stayed in tents nicer. Beach area was covered in mounds of seaweed, smelled because of it, chairs were broken, unable to enjoy the outdoor space. Not for families. Owner was responsive when asked if we could check in a little early however did not seem compassionate regarding the bed and our issues rather pointed to the typical reviews that are received.

Family Vacation for 2023

I'll start by saying I appreciate the fact when we made our trip in a day, arriving at 1030p, the day before we were suppose to check in so the owner allowed us to check in for a fee. However, upon arriving it was 84 degrees inside and the internet was not working. No air conditioner and lack of internet to get the kids mellowed out at night or for morning so I could get things going. Every day I was being asked questions, and told to leave the key they need to get in today. I am on vacation, I don't want bothered to handle the responsibilities that should have been handled prior to our arrival. The tipping point was someone there coming past the first entrance door, into the unit and then interrupting us in the living room, not knocking, and saying "when are you leaving, I need to get into the attic." I had been polite all week but that set me over. Needless to say that was our last day there and we were leaving in the morning back to Ohio. These things should have been checked prior to anyone's arrival for the cost paid. The actual apartment needed love. Beds in the second bedroom were on bricks and cinderblocks. Frames were broken. We are a family of 5 and my oldest slept on the couch. There is no trundle bed, its just a twin. Visible dust strands on walls by the beds. My youngest needed to nebulize daily. We found trash under the bed left by previous guest. For a fee for housekeeping I don't think the ones cleaning are cleaning. We swept floors prior to departure

The perfect Florida vacation

The property and location are perfect for a relaxing week. Easy walking distance to good restaurants and shops. The pier is literally in the backyard. Lisa was great to work with for reservations and Mike was very helpful with questions about the house itself. It's an older well cared for house that has a couple of units on the back. Has everything you need for a great stay. Loved it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Old Floridian meets todays area

The apartment was comfortable in an old Florida house with character. Very clean with all amenities needed. Cute beach in back with the far away sounds of the action in town. Surrounding areas are quaint during the day, and fun, food and music at night. The pier next door is a great way to take walks through out the day. Everything in walking distance including shops and beach.

Great Great Stay

Came to Gulfport for work and simply decided to stay here based on the location and the price. I was extremely surprised on how close it was to downtown Gulfport, the Beach, and to entertainment. The backyard beach was a plus when I returned home and just needed some time to "Relax & Refresh" Will defiantly stay here again when I return to work. Further the Owner and her crew are absolutely delightful to work with, simple, easy and get back to you very fast if you have any questions or concerns.
