The cottage is charming and has a very interesting Gulfport history. It is a quintessential old time Florida beach house that is well furnished. The sofas and beds are very comfortable. The location is the best. It's perfect for enjoying the music culture of Gulfport or just walking around town. The beach is close and the pier is at the end of the street. There is a nice sized table in the back yard for enjoying outdoor meals or playing games. Communication with the owner was fast, friendly and informative. Definitely recommend.

Everything was great. Location can’t be beat: One block from the beach, one block from the shops and bars, all an easy walk. The house is a 1920's bungalow, as such it has a few quirks but that is exactly what makes up its charm. Melissa was a great host; whenever you need something you can call or (better) text her, and she responds very quickly. Overall, would I stay here again in a heartbeat.

We were in town to visit Eckherd College. The location of this property was fantastic. We could walk to restaurants and the waterfront. The house also had everything we needed for visiting nearby Ft Desoto (Sunscreen, sun hats, beach towels, etc)

Overall we had a good stay here. It was nice to be able to walk to so much (beach, local restaurants and shops) and the beds in the home were quite comfortable. The home was built in 1923 and you can tell. While there have been some updates and things done to make the home look nice, other items could use some care. Both the front and back doors don't have a proper seal, allowing small bugs to get inside; the toilet isn't bolted to the ground; the shower head, bathroom vent, and ceiling fans haven't been cleaned in ages; and the bathroom door couldn't close and had obvious damage. All of that being said, the home is in a good location in Gulfport and great if you're looking for a small town feel stay.

We all loved our stay at this quirky cottage in the gorgeous little town of gulfport. Fantastic location, very short walk (a minute) from the beach/town centre. This lovely well equipped, immaculate cottage had heaps of character, felt very homely and was the perfect location to enjoy all this hidden gem of a town had to offer. After 2 weeks spent in busy Orlando we couldn't have found a more ideal property/town to unwind in. Highly recommend.

This house is lovely! A short walk to the pier, shops and beach (within a few blocks). Gulfport is such a great little town and this house was in a wonderful location!! The property owners even leave beach towels and chairs for you to use. St. Pete Beach is about a 20 minute drive away for a bigger, more touristy type of vibe. We loved this place and hope to return! The only thing I would suggest is maybe a curtain closure for the back bedroom and/or curtains over the bamboo blinds, but that's the city gal in me wanting to fully close up shop at night.

We had a wonderful stay in Gulfport. The home was very clean and exactly as described with items needed for an extended stay. It was decorated so nicely with beautiful art in every room. It was in the best location to walk to the water, to walk a block over to shops and a variety of restaurants, and just to enjoy the overall charm of Gulfport. The owner was pleasant to deal with and quick to respond to any requests. We definitely plan to come back!

Stayed for two weeks with our dog. We love Gulfport. So walkable and friendly. The house is very comfortable and Melissa is a great host. We enjoyed many local restaurants and outdoor bars, a dolphin watching pontoon ride by Salty Pelican and our dog loved the area dog beaches and the fenced backyard

What a great Bungalow! Very convenient to everything we needed and a short lyft ride into St. Pete. We slept great, even through a hurricane. My only disappointment was that the red bike had a hole in the back tire, it was giving off great 'Pee-wee Big Adventure' vibes. The blue bike worked great. We hope to stay here again, next time we are in the area. Thank you for this experience.

This is a delightful bungalow, with some history, outlined in a series of old photos on the wall. Melissa was an attentive hostess. The place was nicely appointed and functional without doing anything, The location was very convenient and Gulfport is a wonderful small community. I hope to return here in years to come.

We had only a short stay in the area but Melissa’s home was a perfect spot to retreat to and to launch off on our explorations. Her neighborhood is very sweet and a block to a strip of eateries, cafés and live music. Lots to do in a short driving distance. The bungalow was very clean and comfortable and Melissa is very clear and quick with communication.

Melissa was great with responding to my questions. The property was so lovely on both the outside and inside. The inside was very spacious for my family. Great location and easy to get to basically anywhere we wanted. The walking distance to some really nice shops and restaurants was a great perk!The house was clean. Was provided with alot of things I didn't need to worry about. The ability to use a washer at home was a blessing. I will definitely stay here again!

Great location!

This house was perfect for our vacation, beaches, and eating good food:) There was an odd smell in one of the bedrooms and that meant and unpleasant way to end the night. And zero laundry supplies, had to make another trip to the store. Plumbing could use some attention. But our stay was great! We loved Gulfport so much my daughter asked if we could move there!!

Great Location!!

Great Location!!

Nice property close to all the shops and eateries. Gulfport is a charming town. Minor changes: Wished for more access to linens. I did find a set of sheets in the dryer to change the only bed we used but for the two of us had only 2 bath towels, 2 wash cloths and 2 beach towels for a 10 night stay? Thank goodness for the washer/dryer! Did try to contact owner with an electrical issue to find no room on voice mail to leave a message. Glad we had an alternate number on the board by the front door. Also had some visitors walking around the backyard dropping things off for the owner. Would have liked to have been informed. Overall a nice, well kept home!!
