Pride of ownership truly shines in this carefully renovated 2BR 1BA retreat in the heart of old Gulfport a block from the main street. A compact home typical of the area, beautifully reimagined with top-notch decoration, furnishings and equipment. Everything works as it should Recent, high-quality mattresses and seatings throughout. Very walkable with bikes at the ready. Gulfport Beach 1/4m, Walgreens 3/4m, Save-a-Lot 4/5m. EVCS right across the street. Quiet, friendly neighborhood in the progressive and peaceful Gulfport community. Sit on the porch and folks strolling past will tell you how much they love your house!
Cannot recommend the property, host or location more highly- it’s everything you could want in a home away from home and everything is quality! Such a rare treat! The property is a block to downtown Gulfport, two blocks to the beach and has a private fenced deck, front porch, sunroom, living room, two bedrooms and well appointed kitchen (with counter space for 2-3), and a small dining table in the mud room. The host is kind and responsive. Unfortunately there was a bit of an issue with the sofa, but I believe that will be resolved for the next guest. We look forward to staying again if we return to Gulfport!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The house is located just one block from all the shops and restaurants in Gulfport. We had fun eating at the different restaurants and going through the shops and art galleries. The house is decorated in a beach theme that ties in perfectly with the Gulfport vibe. The owner Lysa is so nice and very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. This is a perfect place to stay if you are visiting Gulfport or any of the other communities in the area. We highly recommend this property and we look forward to staying here again in the future.
This is actually a second review as VRBO keeps requesting it. See the previous as well. Just an addition that Lisa really went out of her way to solve any issues we ran into. I couldn't ask for a more conscientious hostess. I fell in love with the bungalow online, and it was everything I had hoped for when we did get there. I would try to book it again when I am in Gulfport another time.
This is a very nice home that is decorated beautifully with quality furnishings. We had plenty of room with the added Florida room. The beds were luxuriously comfortable. I wish I could only duplicate it at my home, it was so perfect! We were 1 block from town, yet heard very little noise after 9 pm (even though it was a special event weekend). It was an easy walk to the beach. Lisa was very quick to answer and solve any questions or issues we had. You can tell her goal is to have things right and nice for her guests. I could not be more pleased with our time here and would definitely try to book here first the next time we come to Gulfport.
Great trip and easy neighborhood to walk.
The property is super cute and cozy. The location less than 2 blocks from the main street through Gulfport and all ove its amazing shops and restaurants. The owner is helpful as well.
This is a great property with prime location in Gulfport. The hosts Lysa and Don are the best.
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was exactly as listed on VRBO. We will return.
Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you.
Best VRBO experience to date, and there have been many! This beautiful bungalow feels like home and is beautifully decorated with much thought put into every detail! Lysa was a joy to work with. We are already planning our next stay,! Can’t wait to return to Gulfport!
Spacious and beautiful, we had a great time here! Our favourite time was the mornings on the porch, drinking coffee and tea, watching the neighborhood come to life. A lot of good places to eat only a block away. Gulfport has a great laid back vibe that we thoroughly enjoyed. We came during a heatwave so the water at the local beach was too hot to cool down in, but a lot of other beaches are within short driving range so we went there instead. We really enjoyed this house, and totally recommend it!
My family and I made a last minute decision to get away for a week and came across this perfect little bungalow that also allowed us to bring our 2 daschunds as well. Great location to numerous beaches, Gulfport has some great restaurants and seafood markets Lysa was so responsive when we had an issue with the internet The house was perfect and cozy and so clean!! Also all cooking tools, washer and dryer all very nice condition We could not have asked for a better getaway
The home is very charming from the shutters, glass knobs, painted garage door, and so much more. You'll find everything you need for your stay, including beach amenities. It was so nice to have the folding wagon, chairs, coolers, and beach towels. There is plenty of comfortable seating in the home. It was a blessing to us to be able to have our dogs with us. There is plenty of space to set up dog crates to keep your pets safe while you're away. Be mindful of the wood floors and put a rug under the crate to protect the beauty of these old floors. It is a short walk to restaurants and entertainment. The town (except for the beach) is very dog friendly. The food was delicious. We ate at Siri three times during our stay because there is a great menu and prices are fair. The location of the home is also a short drive to St. Pete and other lovely beaches, like Upham Beach. It's a short drive to Pass-A-Grille Beach (dogs must be leashed) or Fort DeSoto (dogs off leash) where you can take your dogs for a swim. There's so much to see and do! The charm and location of this home will make you want to stay or come back soon.
We had a great experience with this property. Check-in was a breeze, and the property itself was very well kept. We loved the walking-distance restaurants and shops, and the proximity of several beaches.
Cottage was exactly as shown in the photos. Very clean. Owners were extremely responsive. One block to main street in Gulfport with shops and restaurants and a couple of blocks to the beach/water. Always live music nearby so if you want it quiet during the day, it may not be the place for you. But very quiet at night. Love that our dog was allowed to stay!
We stayed at this lovely bungalow in Gulfport for 10 days, and were not ready to leave! It is perfectly situated just a block off the main drag with its shops and restaurants, and so comfortable -- everything you want is here! The hosts were extremely responsive and obviously wanted to make our stay special -- and it was! We brought our bikes and spent a lot of time on them, exploring the area and venturing as far as St. Pete Beach. Pinellas County is incredibly bike friendly! Our evenings were spent enjoying live music (every night!) We love Gulfport -- and this sweet bungalow. We'll be back!
My family absolutely loved our stay here! What a well-thought out rental property, in a superb location. We had everything we needed, from kitchen equipment to beach umbrellas. The lovely rooms are beautifully and comfortably furnished, with ceiling fans (as well as AC) and an outdoor shower. The house is situated in a super cute neighbourhood, just one block from the charming main street and two blocks from the beach. We'd go back in a flash! (and certainly hope to!) Highly recommended.
