About this house rental
No hurricane damage. Bright, clean, and thoughtfully appointed, Harbor Mist brings new meaning to home-away-from-home. This Gulfport gem is tucked in one of the town’s friendliest neighborhoods - home to smiling locals who gather and relax at the marina just down the street. Bring your pup along and you’re both guaranteed to make new friends. Or re-connect with your loved ones in the comfort of laid-back living spaces.

Bring your pup along and you’re both guaranteed to make new friends. Or re-connect with your loved ones in the comfort of laid-back living spaces.
Sunshine-seekers are in for a real treat! Scenic walking trails are just a block-and-a-half away at the Clam Bayou Nature Park, sand and surf is just a mile from home, and a palm tree-lined outdoor oasis is yours to enjoy in absolute privacy. Gather for meals or margaritas at the shaded table, or settle into the hammock and let the sound of the fountain spilling over into the pond lull you to sleep.
WELCOME TO HARBOR MIST
Sun-dappled and freshly painted in ocean hues, the living spaces at Harbor Mist make you feel like you brought the beach home with you. There’s no stuffiness in the main living area—two cozy sofas in floral and palm tree patterns invite you to flop down and cool off in the A/C. Choose a flick on the flat-screen, grab a novel from the shelf, or fill your wine glass and settle in for chats in this chilled out space.
Mornings are a special time at Harbor Mist - it’s when our guests come together to fill their bellies and plot the day’s adventures. Spread out your maps and guidebooks on the pass-through bar and pore through them with a warm cup of coffee in hand. Or flip pancakes and sizzle eggs in the recently renovated kitchen. With tons of prep space and white cabinetry with under-counter lighting, this space is well-loved by our guests. Dig in together in a cheerful dining area with leather chairs and accent lighting.
Airy and sweet, the two bedrooms (one queen-size, the other full) are restful retreats furnished with coastal accents and simple, soft linens. Unpack with ease into wall-mounted cabinets and private closets, and rinse off the sand in a tiled bathroom with shower and tub combination.
The true show-stopper at Harbor Mist is the backyard. Lush, grassy, and oh-so-private, it’s like having your own palm-studded oasis just outside your door. Watch stars come out from the pond-side patio lounge space, snooze through lazy afternoons in the hammock, or bring dinner or a deck of cards to the shaded dining area. This is vacation, so take time to stop and smell the flowers—the yard is rife with tropical blooms.
THE CHARMS OF GULFPORT
Live like a local in the down-to-earth Marina District, where you can greet the day by shaking hands (and paws!) with residents on their morning strolls. Just a block-and-a-half from the marina and Clam Bayou Nature Park, relaxation here means serene nature walks and afternoons out on the water. Just over a mile away, Gulfport Beach offers a postcard-perfect setting for days in the sun, in the surf, on the volleyball court, or picnicking in the pavilion.
But lazy days and sunshine aren’t all that Gulfport has to offer. This vibrant town is teeming with Key West charm and community spirit. From twice-monthly art walks to farmer’s markets, from 4th of July fireworks to Formula One boat races, there’s always something happening here. Just ask us - your instant local friends.
Pets welcome with additional fee.Please do not bring dogs that are trained to protect you and to only respond to your commands.

Reservations require the completion of a signed rental agreement including your credit card details. You are entering into an agreement with Splashy Ventures/Gulfport Florida and Splashy is the merchant of record for rent, taxes and fees.

The property is in a convenient location close to beaches, restaurants, and state parks. Guests loved the clean house, well-stocked essentials, and peaceful backyard oasis. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay with pets.

Wonderful home in a great location. Easy drive to downtown Gulfport and also 10-15 min drive to downtown St. Pete! House was a perfect size for my husband, toddler and Mother in law. Beautiful backyard with plenty of native plants and trees. Plenty of amenities at the house as well! We enjoyed our stay here and would gladly come back to stay.

My nephew and I were in Florida for just a few days to go fishing with a charter out of the marina. Harbor Mist house was a great location to the marina as well as just a short distance to local restaurants and public beach. The backyard was a great place to chill out in the evening. Very peaceful and relaxing. The inside was very clean, beds were comfortable, and the AC worked very well. I will look to stay here again for future fishing trips.

This quaint home is perfect for up to four people and the back yard provides amazing privacy. The neighborhood is extremely safe and quiet with little to no traffic. The location is perfect for getting to and from any attractions around St. Pete and Gulfport. Great place.

Harbor Mist has become our paradise away from home! We've stayed here every year for over a decade and love everything about it. It's close to Clam Bayou, downtown Gulfport, St Petersburg museums, restaurants and fun shops and most importantly, a short drive to Fort DeSoto dog beach! The property has everything you could possibly need and is incredibly comfortable. The back yard is beautiful and has lighting and landscaping to make it a tropical paradise in the evenings. Best of all, it is pet friendly but you would never know this because it is so well maintained. Beth is super easy to work with and has awesome recommendations on her app of places to eat, things to do, etc. Looking forward to our Harbor Mist escape for years to come! Thanks for everything Beth!

Benn coming to Gulfport and renting from Beth since 2006. Can't ask for a better home away from home. Harbor Mist is cozy, fully equipped with anything you could possibly need, and is always clean, fresh, and welcoming! The backyard is a private oasis- perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Finally rented kayaks and explored Clam Bayou down the street- definitely will do it again! Lots of great restaurants and shops- Pia's is incredible! Harbor Mist has become our favorite vacation spot and our pups love it too. Thanks again for the perfect spot to recharge Beth!

Perfection!
We took our kids to their first Tampa Bay Rays Game over the weekend and were looking for something close to the Tropicana Field, but not in Downtown Area. Found this little gem in the old Florida style neighborhood of Gulfport. Very quaint and cute. The backyard is a wonderful little tropical paradise. My wife worked out there in the morning, and we hung out there in the evening. Right down the road there is a marina and a nature preserve with a walking path. Super cool spot to take a run or stroll. Gulfport (the area where this is located) has a really cool little "downtown" spot with cool restaurants, shops and perfect ice cream destination!! We also went over to St Pete Beach for the day, a 15 min ride. Beach is amazing!! This is really in a wonderful spot if you want to experience the entire area. Manager was super attentive and as accommodating as she could be, as it would seem this is a popular spot, as both sides of our stay had someone renting, but you wouldn't have known it, as the place was impeccably clean and very well kept. I highly recommend....enjoy!! We certainly did!!

We have stayed in a number of Splashy Ventures properties and all have been great! Harbor Mist was clean and stocked with everything we needed.
The highlight of this property is the backyard. It is completely fenced, has a little fish pond, and has amazing vegetation. It almost felt like we were in the Keys. We'd definitely stay again.

This was our first time at this house in the marina district. We usually try to stay closer to the main drag, Beach Bvld area. It took a little time to get adjusted to where everything was and which switch controlled what. Overall, we were very satisfied with the house. Clean and comfortable, the queen bed seemed like new. Some of the pictures of the interior of the house do not match what is actually there, but functionally equivalent. The landscaping and backyard are spectacular, an outdoor oasis. I would recommend this property.

We had a great stay at Splashy Ventures. We were a little too trusting of the area and left our bikes out front and one was stolen the first night we were there. It was our mistake not to lock them up but just beware to lock up your belongings. We felt safe staying there even after that happened and our host was in contact with us throughout the stay. The home is located on a quiet street and the backyard is a tropical oasis. We would definitely return!

Harbor Mist is our favorite getaway place! Beth is super easy to work with, is very attentive to detail, and provides lots of info about both the rental and nearby things to do. We've been staying in her rentals for more than a decade and have never had an issue! Harbor Mist is cozy, has everything you could possibly need, and has an incredible backyard with lights and pond that make it the perfect spot for relaxing in the evening. Although pet friendly, you (and your pets) never find evidence of previous furry guests! Our pups love the yard and trips to Fort DeSoto dog beach along with strolls to the bayou down the street. Gulfport is full of awesome restaurants and shops and people are very friendly. Highly recommend Pia's for amazing food! Love Harbor Mist and even (easily) extended our stay by a day because we just weren't ready to leave paradise!

We have stayed at Harbor Mist numerous times over the past 13 years and have always loved it and Beth's other Gulfport properties. As always, the house was clean, well stocked with everything you could possibly need, and such a comfortable home away from home. My favorite is the backyard- private and lovely and so inviting! Gulfport is a wonderful and friendly little town- always enjoy Tuesday Fresh Market and monthly Art Walks. Harbor Mist is a quick walk from Clam Bayou with easy trails and awesome views. Our dogs love the bayou, Fort DeSoto dog beach, and all the pet friendly restaurant patios in Gulfport. Harbor Mist will always be our favorite getaway spot- and Beth is always easy to work with and makes sure her properties are clean, equipped, and perfect!

We stayed at Harbor Mist with 5 people, even with that many people it was comfortable and cozy. We absolutely loved the backyard and used it extensively, it is so private and surrounded by tropical plants and shrubs. The living room was large enough that we could all fit and watch movies at night. The location was awesome, the marina is 2 blocks away and you can walk a little hiking trail located there, we rented kayaks and put in from there. We would walk a mile to fabulous restaurants and cafes, the Tuesday farmer's market, the Friday Art Walk. I would definitely recommend this home, escpecially for people who enjoy activities and the outdoors.

My husband and I (and our cat) spent a wonderful month at this property. It was perfect for us and had everything we needed. We took lots of walks in Clam Bayou and even kayaked it once. We played golf almost twice a week at several nearby courses. We also safely dined at most of the restaurants (most with outdoor seating) in the quaint town of Gulfport. And of course, we visited the nearby beaches for more walks many times as well. The only thing that would have made it better was if it had a pool. But truly even without a pool we'd definitely go back.

Sunset at Clam Bayou was a short nightly walk away and the highlight of each day.
