About this house rental
Summary:
Charming apt (front unit of duplex) with hardwood floors, AND enormous backyard with semi-private beach on Boca Ciega Bay (not the Gulf of Mexico), shared with guests of other unit when booked!! Enjoy the peace of sand and sea, shore birds and sea life, AND restaurants, shops, live music, Art Walks, farmer's market just steps away.
The Space:
This 2 bedroom historic home features a king bed in one BR and a double and twin in the second BR. It is adjacent to a large public park and pier in the quaint town of Gulfport. Perfect for walking to great restaurants, fishing from the beach or off the Pier, bird watching, sunning and relaxing! Truly feels like a retreat just steps from town.
Please also check our discounted weekly and monthly rates.
Guest Access:
Washer and Dryer in garage and Private Beach is available for your use. Both are shared with guests in back 1 BR and Studio.
Beach is ideal for bird watching and full of sea life - crabs of many kinds, fish, crown conch, etc. Swimming is perhaps more enjoyable for adults and older kids at the Gulfport public beach (5 minute walk) or St Pete Beach (15 minutes by car).
The water at our beach stays shallow for at least 100 feet so you may look at sea life. There is ample shade. Also great for fishing, as is the public pier next door to the house. Please wear water shoes as there are sharp shells that wash up and rocks and a bed of oysters to left as you look out to water.
The Neighborhood:
Gulfport is an eclectic little town with big personality. There are many great restaurants, shops, Art Walks with vendors and live music in the evening each First Friday and Third Saturday, and Fresh Market on Tuesdays during the day.
10-12 minutes from St. Pete Beach or the now chic downtown St. Petersburg. 25 minutes from Tampa International airport.
Getting Around:
Everything is walking distance - Gulfport Trolley will take you around the town if you wish and connect to main bus system.
Please see the Guidebook on upper right hand corner of listing or click Maps tab next to Photos - it has a great overview of our location and fun things to do nearby. Also, shows the grocery store Publix.
Other Things to Note:
There is no direct water view from apt. - This space overlooks expansive park to West- see photos. There is another 1BR apt. in rear, available on Airbnb. For larger parties, the spaces can be rented together to sleep a total of 8 in beds.
Because the Boca Ciega Bay is vibrant with sea life, seaweed washes up on the beach. We rake and groom the beach every week but things do wash up with each tide, including, sadly, plastic bottles, etc.
There is no smoking inside or outside - our property is smoke free. No open flames such as candles or burning incense

This is the cutest place! We were there for a fishing charter out of Gulfport Marina. We went to the beach a couple of days and an all day fish trip. This is a great location walkable to eateries. A nice shady park right next door to the property with a pier to fish from if you like. Quality restaurants are very near. I loved not having to get back in the car after a long day at the beach. The back yard down by the water is a picture postcard view. I could sit there all day and watch the dolphins go by. The house is old and full of character. The real wood floors take me back to grandmas house. Accented with the glass door knobs and splashes of vintage furnishings. It is a functional art piece flash to the past. I found it to be a good value for all that is offered! We added a extra day stay and I would stay there again.

Loved this property! There was plenty of room for me, my sister, and mother. The beds and common living seating area were comfortable. We enjoyed drinking wine, listening to music on the boom box (we purchased a few more music options and left them), as well as watching our favorite movies on the smart TV. We did not use any of the appliances (besides refrigerator) on this stay as this property was so close to all the shops, restaurants, and beach. A cute little gem in this quaint little town. We did venture into the back yard to scope out the water access and there was too much debris on the shore line to enjoy the view back there. This was fine with us though since the main beach access was within walking distance. I was so surprised how quiet it was even though it sits almost directly across from O’Malleys but we didn’t hear a peep coming from there. Would definitely stay here again.

Old school Florida Spanish style home. 3 units in the home. Pictures very accuracy as well as the online listing. This is not a Hilton/Marriott type property, but worked very well for my group of 3 adults and pre-teen. Can walk to beach/park/restaurants. Would stay here again if in the area.

I'll start by saying I appreciate the fact when we made our trip in a day, arriving at 1030p, the day before we were suppose to check in so the owner allowed us to check in for a fee. However, upon arriving it was 84 degrees inside and the internet was not working. No air conditioner and lack of internet to get the kids mellowed out at night or for morning so I could get things going. Every day I was being asked questions, and told to leave the key they need to get in today. I am on vacation, I don't want bothered to handle the responsibilities that should have been handled prior to our arrival. The tipping point was someone there coming past the first entrance door, into the unit and then interrupting us in the living room, not knocking, and saying "when are you leaving, I need to get into the attic." I had been polite all week but that set me over. Needless to say that was our last day there and we were leaving in the morning back to Ohio. These things should have been checked prior to anyone's arrival for the cost paid. The actual apartment needed love. Beds in the second bedroom were on bricks and cinderblocks. Frames were broken. We are a family of 5 and my oldest slept on the couch. There is no trundle bed, its just a twin. Visible dust strands on walls by the beds. My youngest needed to nebulize daily. We found trash under the bed left by previous guest. For a fee for housekeeping I don't think the ones cleaning are cleaning. We swept floors prior to departure

The property itself is really great; very homey and nostalgic Florida beach styling. A lot of the interior is showing its age, so be gentle with door handles and such. The private beach is nice, just make sure you plan your swims around high tide.
Location is amazing, and Gulfport is beautiful. You are literally two blocks away from Gulfport's main street, where the night life is pretty great. You are also 30 minutes from downtown Tampa, which is just a straight shot across I275.

Beds were horrible, I was unable to enjoy any time during our visit to Florida, due to the beds being extremely uncomfortable had to visit a chiropractor to walk the following day. Myself and family was effected. Short dark hairs in the tub that was not ours, we didn’t shower there because of the private area body hair left in tub. Noticeable mold on the ceilings. Left after 1 night. I camp and have stayed in tents nicer. Beach area was covered in mounds of seaweed, smelled because of it, chairs were broken, unable to enjoy the outdoor space. Not for families. Owner was responsive when asked if we could check in a little early however did not seem compassionate regarding the bed and our issues rather pointed to the typical reviews that are received.

The property and location are perfect for a relaxing week. Easy walking distance to good restaurants and shops. The pier is literally in the backyard. Lisa was great to work with for reservations and Mike was very helpful with questions about the house itself. It's an older well cared for house that has a couple of units on the back. Has everything you need for a great stay. Loved it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What a gem in the heart of historic Gulfport. You can walk to restaurants, shops and the market on Tuesday morning. Not to mention having your private beach. The home was well stocked and very comfortable. The owner is also very nice!

The apartment was comfortable in an old Florida house with character. Very clean with all amenities needed. Cute beach in back with the far away sounds of the action in town. Surrounding areas are quaint during the day, and fun, food and music at night. The pier next door is a great way to take walks through out the day. Everything in walking distance including shops and beach.

Great Great Stay
Came to Gulfport for work and simply decided to stay here based on the location and the price. I was extremely surprised on how close it was to downtown Gulfport, the Beach, and to entertainment. The backyard beach was a plus when I returned home and just needed some time to "Relax & Refresh" Will defiantly stay here again when I return to work. Further the Owner and her crew are absolutely delightful to work with, simple, easy and get back to you very fast if you have any questions or concerns.

Wonderful place to stay!
Our family very much enjoyed our stay. It was lovely to be able to walk to all of Gulfport's attractions. The yard was plenty big enough for the kids to play in, and the private beach was ideal for relaxing. Highly recommended!

Quaint House in super cute town
This house was very clean and amazingly situated next to park/ shops and restaurants. The communication with owner was quick and helpful. The only downside would be the beach had a ton of jellyfish.

Nice time, will come again.
The manager of the property was pleasant and informative on questions. We were glad to gt to know Gulfport just word of advice the off tourist season there were a lot of restaurants closed and others were out of certain foods, not the property's fault just something to keep in mind for Gulfport in general.

Great place to stay in Gulfport
Very spacious living area, kitchen, and bedrooms, with lots of light from the windows and lots of seating. We enjoyed the view of the bay from the yard, and walking just one block to get to the restaurants and shops. This was a great place to stay to enjoy the Gulfport experience.

Our family traveled mid-pandemic just after Christmas to get away from cold Michigan winter. It was clean and quiet and very close to the quaint town of Gulfport. Restaurants, shops, beach, and parks within walking distance, perfect for our kids. Gulfport was so cute, we would love to come back when we’re more comfortable being in the restaurants and shops! We all loved looking for shells on the beach in the backyard and just relaxing and watching the pelicans dive in the bay. It was also an easy drive to the gulf and Clearwater.The house was cozy for five of us, but with all the outside time, it worked well for us. Safe and friendly community. Lisa and Emma checked on us regularly and were very helpful and friendly.

Could use some love
The location is ideal, especially if you know Gulfport. The house and exterior could use some love, but it’s Gulfport.

Great place
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this cute home. It was close to plenty of places to eat and enjoy the water. It was a successful trip for our 1st vacation with our 18 month old. We walked to the pier, the playground on the beach, and to find great food every day. The house was clean and smelled nice. We would definitely visit again. Lisa and Emma were great communicators and made our stay even better with their friendliness and hospitality.

Wonderful property. Close to everything. Only stayed two days, wish it had been longer. So relaxing sitting in the yard looking at the water. Delicious restaurants within walking distance. Really enjoyed O'Maddys and Fortunatos for dinner and Stella's for a great breakfast. Would really love to return to this cute little property again.

Great location and privacy
Our first time in Gulfport. Quaint Old Florida charm. Super friendly locals and restaurants. Great food within walking distance. Something for everyone.
Really loved our private yard and sanctuary with art work and waterfront. Property manager, Lisa is a treat to work with. Very responsive and sent someone the next day over a minor fan issue. Looking forward to our return. Thanks Jane & Tom

Great location a real gem
This adorable house is in a great location in a hidden gem of a small town. If you are planning to come for private beach great but it’s not really for swimming. You will need to go to the beach which is not a bad thing. The house is adorable and we loved the eclectic decor. It for right in with this artsy thriving town.
A great weekend or weeklong get away

Close to all restaurants & bay!
Lisa was very prompt in responding to any questions we had and accommodating. She let us check in early which made our trip so much better! Great location within walking distance to park, pier, and all the restaurants, casino, and bars. The backyard does back up to the bay which is a great view just not ideal for swimming even though my husband did venture out. Would stay here again.

Don’t let the low price fool you. The house was very nice. Big enough for my family of 5. Walking distance to restaurants and shops and a short drive to the beaches. Lisa is very nice and easy to work with. She answered all my questions promptly. Check out Fort DeSoto while you’re there.

Perfect Memorial Day Weekend Get-away that is Dog Friendly!
This was our first time to Gulfport and we had an amazing time! Location is perfect, only a block away from the stores, shops, and pier. The unit is clean, quiet, and has all the amenities. It is dog friendly that didn’t break the bank, which is huge for us!! The shared large fenced-in back yard and beach/waterfront that was perfect for our dogs to play in. We didn’t run into many of the other renters but we did spend most of our days out and about. The owners were great with communicating and making arrangements for our stay. Great experience and will have to go back again!
