    It was a wonderful experience. Along with the kind host who even got us in our place earlier than listed, to making sure our stay was flawless. Had a fabulous time with our dog companions and the place was so cozy and bright and fenced in which was an extra bonus. Thank you so much!!!

    The bungelow is close to Gulport, though it would be a long walk. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The patio area was great..nicely shaded! We would definately stay again.

    We had to park in the alley with questionable surroundings. Also, no vent in the bathroom. Pictures were not all accurate.

    The Beachcomber is fantastic!! The neighborhood is quiet, the property itself is beautiful, clean, well kept, smells great, the yard is awesome for my 2 little fur babies. We couldn't ask for a better place to stay! The washing macgine and dryer was a huge plus, not to mention the most quiet a/c units around. Highly recommend. If i could give a 100 stars I would. Oh, and the host was fantastic with communication. Any question i had they answered within minutes!! Cannot wait to stay again!! Thank you!! 100/100 A

    We loved it! Gulfport is a quirky art and music village and this little bungalow was perfect. Well equipped kitchen is designed around a lovely repurposed buffet island. Bath features sleek glass walk-in shower. King bed was comfy; wi-fi worked well. Artsy fun decor. An enormous banyan tree towers above the cottage. Al fresco dining and morning coffee on the large deck was a plus, watching the squirrels and listening to the bird songs, with a couple of sightings of vivid green parrots. Dozens of great eateries and pubs nearby. Live music everywhere. The host was extremely helpful; by far the best communication weʻve ever experienced.

    We stayed for three nights and had a great time! The house was clean, it was tucked away off the road but they have clear insdirections for you and once you find it which didn’t take long at all itprivate, and in a great location — close to everything we needed but still nice and quiet. The fenced backyard was perfect for our dog, which made the trip even better. Would definitely stay here again!

    We had a great experience staying at the Sand Dollar. Great getaway for you and your spouse/partner. Loved the outside deck. The property is on the other side of Gulfport Blvd. It’s about a 15-minute walk to Beach Blvd. The hosts were very communicative. We would definitely stay again.

    The hosts was very responsive and accommodating to our needs and requests. The house is in the older part of the community and needs some work, but I know they have plans to make some further updates. Great area! We were able to ride our bikes to downtown Gulfport which is on the bay and has cute shops and lots of great places to eat. Just a short drive to St Pete beach.

    My husband and I were traveling across FL with our springer spaniel. The Sand Dollar Cottage was a perfect base for us to explore St Petersburg but also enjoy the friendly community of Gulfport. Besides the great location, the house itself is great - well maintained, has all the necessities, and cute (love all the decorations!). The owners were very responsive snd helpful with the directions. Very pleasant stay overall, thank you!

    First impression: The unit is located in an alley with adjacent properties in disrepair. Upon entering the apartment, the temperature was in the 50's and there was no heat! When we spoke to the host, he confirmed that heat was not a listed amenity and informed us we should have read the listing more carefully. Two small ceramic space heaters were provided-completely inadequate for the space. We ran them continuously and stayed cold all week. We ended up at a hotel the first night due to the cold. No hot tub...as advertised. The host was unwilling to work with us resulting in many hours spent on the phone with VRBO. A disappointing stay in Gulfport.

    We had a very enjoyable stay. The house was cozy and private, and the neighborhood was quiet. We could walk to Gulfport's waterfront and to Tomlinson Park and Clymer Park which were very convenient since we also had our dog with us. We were just a short drive from both the beaches and downtown St. Petersburg. Joseph was always quick to respond and very accommodating.
