This family-friendly 2 bedroom historic home features a king bed in one BR and a double and twin in the second BR. It is adjacent to a large public park and pier in the quaint town of Gulfport. Perfect for walking to great restaurants, fishing from the beach or off the Pier, bird watching, sunning and relaxing!
Washer and Dryer in garage and Private Beach is available for your use. Both are shared with guests in back units.
Beach is great for young children as there is ample shade and the water stays shallow for at least 100 feet. Also great for fishing, as is the public pier next door to the house. Remember your water shoes!

We and our assistants are available if need be, and are sometimes on the grounds for maintenance.

Quiet place with great access to stores , restaurants ,beaches and attractions.
This property was in the perfect location to all the restaurants and shops. We loved the private backyard on the water & so did our dog!
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 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.
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.
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! ?????
Perfect location to experience all that Gulfport has to offer, neighborhood bars and restaurants were accommodating and friendly, food was delicious, atmosphere and culture of the area and residents reminded us of Key West, eclectic mix of of weird and wonderful, highly recommended to other travelers.
Once again another flawless time at the Gulfport get-a-way. Thanks so much Lisa! Will be back next year when have to come back for work.
What a gem in the heart of historic Gulfport. You can walk to restaurants, shops and the market on Tuesday morning. Not to mention having your private beach. The home was well stocked and very comfortable. The owner is also very nice!
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.
Very old special place well maintained the backyard is awesome !
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.
