The house was beautiful and beyond our expectations. Clean, well stocked, and near attractions without being noisy. Quiet residential block just two blocks from the beach. Owners were easy to reach and took good care of our needs when the storm arrived. Thanks

Ideally located and incredibly comfortable, this property is perfect for exploring all of the charm and beauty of Gulfport! Christine and Jim are great communicators and have created a home away from home that has everything you need to enjoy a perfect stay! Stocked kitchen, towels, linens, and beach gear…this place has everything…including a beautiful screened in porch and private yard for relaxing evenings in! A comfortable bed and extremely clean property helped to make our stay perfect!! Short walk to downtown Gulfport and the water! We can’t wait to return!

We had such a great time in Gulfport! The house was lovely and the owners responded to our needs very quickly. The area has many bars and restaurants and we were happy to find that it is a dog friendly and LGBTQ friendly community.

Home away from home!! This beautiful home was comfortable for 5 adults. So close to everything Gulfport has to offer but quiet enough to relax at night! My heart hurt to leave! I will only book here when returning to Gulfport!!! You will not be disappointed! Great price!

This property was truly amazing. The property owners are very responsive and friendly as well. The home was open and bright. I had requested a crib and highchair for my 9 month old. Both were there when we arrived. I expected the bedrooms to be smaller based on the photos however, they were quite large. The bathrooms were much larger than I excepted as well. The home is nicely tucked back from the road with plenty of room to park 2 cars on the driveway. The backyard is huge and the screened in patio was fabulous. There is also a nice front porch to sit on and enjoy a cup of coffee. The home is well equipped with kitchen pots, pans, utensils, cups, and everything else you need. Plenty of beach toys and a pushcart were provided as well. Its a very short walk to many coffee shops and restaurants. Highly recommend, especially for families!

Excellent stay, wonderful house in wonderful location, everything was perfect
The house was fantastic: spotless, comfortable, and well appointed. A very short walk to downtown Gulfport and an easy drive to other parts of the St. Pete area. The hosts even helped us with an early check-in after our exhausting red-eye flight.
Highly recommended!

HEAVEN IN GULFPORT
The only thing to say about this property is "We have stayed here twice and never intend today anywhere when visiting Gulfport".
The house is wonderful and has everything you could need. This is a beautiful and clean property, convenient to restaurants and shopping (a very short, safe walk) and has a GREAT yard for your furry friends. You can't go wrong in the rental.

Great Like New Renal House In Gulfport!
We had a great stay, just two blocks off the main Street of shops and restaurants. If you keep walking a few blocks thru the town you end up at the beach area with bars and volleyball courts.
The house was super clean and stocked with what you would need for a great stay. Thanks again for having us!

The property is well kept; very nicely furnished with top of the line kitchen appliances, dishes and cookware. The beds were very comfortable; linens were high quality; towels thick and plenty of them. There were 5 adults (family) staying the week and we had plenty of space. The screen porch was an added bonus! We also had my son's dogs with us and the large fenced yard was a blessing. We walked down to Stella's for breakfast or brunch every day and never got tired of the atmosphere and FOOD !! The town of Gulfport - AMAZING!! Quaint, yet upscale shopping - not your typical tourist junk - but nice quality clothing, art, and gifts. And the FOOD!! oh my. We stayed for 7 days and only cooked one meal. We enjoyed trying many of the owners fav restaurants and were not disappointed. The evening walk in Gulfport with lights, lush plants and flowers was such a treat! While the beach was small, it was quiet and there were lovely swings to sit and enjoy the boats anchored just offshore and watch the many birds. It was one of the most relaxing trips I've had in a very long time. Thank you Christine and Jim for your quick responses when we had a question and for allowing me to extend our stay when my flight got cancelled. Oh ! And many of the restaurants had live music every night - a fabulous treat! Beautiful home; perfect lovely town and a memorable family vacation!

Best Little Bungalow in Gulfport !!
Beautiful and spacious home. Very clean. All the amenities you could wish for. Hosts contacted us before check in to let us know it was ready. Perfect location. Easy walk to restaurants and waterfront. Beautiful fenced in back yard. Nice covered and screened in lanai. Highly recommend for a couple or a whole family. It was very difficult to leave.
Thanks for everything,
Brad & Cindy

Loved our stay in this property. It is very well equipped and tastefully decorated. It is very quiet and peaceful with a lovely back garden, but a quick walk to Gulfport's main drag with all the restaurants and shops, and beach.

Staycation
Property was very nice and within walking distance to all the restaurants and bars. Big fenced in backyard was cool with shade and breezes that allowed our Husky to stay outside much of the time. Interior of the house is worthy of a permanent residence, so very thankful we had the opportunity to rent it.

A New Favorite
A great place, in the perfect location, in one of our favorite small towns in Florida.
The house is set up perfectly, with the kitchen, dining, and living area's all one room. The backyard/deck is open to both the living area and the kitchen /dining area. The kitchen/dining access starts with a screened in area, perfect to be outside, and yet out of the sun.
Our 4 legged children loved the backyard, especially Daisy, who spent her days guarding the yard and chasing any critter (squirrel) that dared to come in it.
One of the most important things about this property, is the ability to walk into Town.....no need to drive anywhere, except to buy groceries.
Christine was easy to work with, and even though we didn't need her, she made it clear that she was available anytime.
If I had to pick....my wife mentioned that they need Hand Towels in the bathroom! Even I thought that was digging, but she insisted that Christine would understand.

We had a great time. Ideal home for dog owners and family. A couple blocks away from everything you need. Restaurants, shopping, parks and beach! And yet it’s so quiet at the house.

PERFECT!!!!!!!!
Christine & Jim have done a wonderful job of providing such a lovely experience! The home is decorated beautifully and is spotless! The fenced-in yard is a huge bonus and offers much privacy. We have rented many VRBO's and this is one of our favorites. Our children live in the Tampa and St. Pete area and we love to stay in Gulfport. The people are so down to earth and all the restaurants are awesome! Our daughter works at O'Maddy's and their food is excellent, and Gulfperk Coffe Bar is our favorite morning stop after our daily walks!
Thank you Christine & Jim for such an awesome experience!

A delight!
Super clean, beautifully decorated, well-equipped house in a quiet street yet only a block and a half from Beach Blvd, so within walking distance of restaurants, shops, galleries, the beach and pier. It really is a home away from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our month here. The covered patio and landscaped, fenced yard were a bonus. Highly recommended.

Another Fantastic stay at Gulfport! Such a gem!
We love this home, and so do my kids! (ages 6,6,3) This was a second stay. It's the perfect size! I love having the beach gear and cart there too. My kids could chase lizards all day--bonus that now the entire backyard is fenced so I can let them run around back there while I make dinner. They really appreciated the reptile guide that the owners had left for them :)
The check in and check out process is super easy, the house is clean and well maintained, and comfortable! My kids think it is a second home we own, lol! That's how at-home it feels! The owners are super responsive and we've never had any issues where we've needed to contact them.
We were able to take day trips to the beach, a dolphin cruise, John's pass, and some local restaurants. We even made it out to Disney for a day. It's great to have this place as an option when we're visiting my in-laws. Look forward to coming back!

Meticulous!
We had to evacuate for hurricane Dorian and were lucky to find this beautiful home. The house was pristine with park-like settings in the backyard. Everything was perfect despite being a pet friendly property. Our dogs loved the large yard. A cute downtown is a block or 2 away, and the beach is right there. The owner Jim was awesome - he went out of his way to welcome us during a very difficult time, and without us asking, he didn’t charge us for a couple of days that we missed due to the uncertainty of the storm. We really appreciated the character he showed while others gouge those in a tough situation. What a great experience!
