The Sea Turtle cottage is located in the heart of exciting Gulfport within walking distance to the beach, parks, casino and Historic Downtown Gulfport's restaurants, shops and bars. The Sea Turtle is on the Mississippi Department of Archives and History covenant register and has been carefully restored to the charms of yesteryear. If you enjoy the ambiance of 'days gone by, then the Sea Turtle Cottage with its original hardwood floors, tongue and groove ceilings and comfortable and eclectic antique furnishings is the place for you!
Sleeping accommodations are great. The parlor bedroom features a four poster bed, antique chifforobe trestle table and smart TV. An antique full size iron and brass bed, brass twin bed and antique burl armoire in the second bedroom is just perfect for the aunts and nieces. A French Provincial queen bed in a third bedroom with it's nautical touches is seaside cottage chique.
Dining and entertaining for large groups is artfully easy. The graceful dining room table has two leafs for expanding to easily accommodate parties of ten. The kitchen is equipped with all the tools you'll need to make fabulous meals to wine and dine with friends and family.
Relax in the parlor living room where you and your musical guests and friends can have a fun night playing the spinet piano or guitar. Or gather in the sunroom where you will find a comfy sectional sofa to curl up with a bowl of popcorn and sweet tea to watch your favorite shows or DVDs on the large smart TV.
Fun continues in the fenced backyard with grilling, and sunning on the deck.
Two full baths make it easy to get up and get going. One bath includes a bathtub and shower combination that is great for the little guys.
This is a perfect vacation spot for family gatherings, and casino goers alike. The kids will love the splash pad at West Side Park located just a stroll around the block. And Jones Park with its scheduled entertainment (Fishing Rodeo July 4th weekend and Festival of Lights during Christmas) and picnic areas and playgrounds is so close you can walk to it. And new to the downtown area is The Mississippi Aquarium! The Gulfport Harbor will delight you with fishing piers, park and the offerings of charter boats. Or in season, take a ride on the Ship Island Excursion Boat leaving from the harbor to tour Historic Fort Massachusetts and leave you to do some 'barrier island' beach combing or dolphin watching. Amtrak (2025) has renewed its service from mobile to New Orleans and you can walk to the train depot! The Beach Comber Trolley stops at Jones Park, ready to pick you up and carry you up and down the coast for even more shopping and dining and casino fun! Even golfing! And the Island View Casino is a good neighbor living just across the street ready and waiting for whenever you're feeling lucky! Get in the car and you’ll find more fun with outlet malls, discount stores, golf courses, Lynn Meadows Discovery Center, Train Museum and the Gulf Island Water Park.
Come and stay and play at the Sea Turtle Cottage. I just know you will make some great memories.

    This is our second booking. We have stayed on the Miss Gulf Coast very often especially for the last 10 years for CTC. This property is perfect for us and our friends as the location has easy access to what each wants to do: casino, beach for just sitting under trees and enjoying it all! This by far the best property I’ve rented for any occasion, CTC, holiday travel , baseball tournaments etc and I use VRBO often ! This place is more than adequately equipped with anything you need and is close to any extra shopping you need . If possible I would book Sea Turtle in Gulfport for every trip there especially CTC in the future ! Owners treat you like family !

    Property was clean. More accurate pictures of the area where the house is located would be nice. Area seemed a little rundown. Train noise is terrible. Every couple of hours during the night and loud. All in all house was nice. Area a little iffy.

    7 adults stayed at this nice beach house comfortably, beds were nice and comfortable and house was very clean, very close to the Casino. Being close to the casino can be a little sketchy but never had one issue. If you are staying for casino but don’t want to pay hotel prices, this is the place. Also owner was very relaxed and house rules were simple

    This little cottage worked perfect for us during Jeepin the Coast. It was only about 3.5 miles from Jeep Central, which made it simple to go back and forth. There were plenty of towels and toilet paper in the bathroom and the shower had good water pressure, which felt really good after being in the sun all day.The kitchen was well stocked. All we had to bring was our food and drinks.The property has a small fenced in back yard for your pets and a little deck to hang out on when the weather is nice. Everything was very clean and taken care of.

    Owner was incredibly helpful during the unusual freezing weather in January and actually moved us to another property for a couple of days when the temperature in the house dropped to an uncomfortable level. They went above all expectations to make sure we were comfortable

    Absolutely loved this little cottage. Super clean, had everything that could be needed and we ended up extending our stay. The backyard was perfect for our dogs. Loved the decor and the tv room. Owners were quick to respond. The walk to the beach is a bit farther than I was thinking but no big deal. Would absolutely stay here again!

    Our annual Cruising the Coast getaway with friends and family was the BEST this year staying in the center of all activity which made traveling to the different city events very easy and being right next to and in walking distance to one of our favorite places on the coast Island View Casino Gulfport! The house was very well stocked the best I’ve seen in all my years doing VRBO and communication with the owners was so easy and pleasant! The entire week we all felt like we were HOME!! Much so we booked it again for a longer stay next year for CTC 2025!

    Very comfortable. All of us had plenty of room. Did not feel crowded at all. The Jack and Jill connected front rooms were perfect for my husband, I and our son. Back yard was so nice to relax in during the evenings. Walking distance to the beach and casino. Loved the property.

    The property was two blocks from a white sand beach, though you could only wade in the water. It was centrally located for all the family's activities, and the house was comfortable.

    The house is a cute beach house with beautiful woodwork and floors. The house was very comfortable and the kids and I enjoyed hanging out, watching movies, or playing games after a long day of seeing the sights. I am glad we chose to stay in Gulfport - there was lots to do within a five minute drive and the roads and beaches were never crowded. We all enjoyed our vacation!

    This house was a wonderful, comfortable and relaxing home base. Way more spacious and cuter than the photos make it look! We had five children and two adults staying, and never felt crowded. The layout was great for us to let younger kids go to sleep earlier in one end of the house, while everyone else stayed up later at the other end. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings and watching the geckos wiggle around on the porch ceiling. Despite being across the street, you hardly can see or notice the casino. The kitchen is well appointed, and just lacks a bit on counter space. Bathrooms are large and very functional. Beds were fine, no complaints. Good selection of games in the house. Walk to the beach is about 7 minutes and not difficult, plus easy driving to any of the shore all the way down to Pass Christian. Ferry to Ship Island is a 1 minute drive away. We also enjoyed a half day at the marine mammal institute closer to Biloxi.
