Convenient Location Close to Everything!

We loved Gulfport from our last visit last summer. We finally got the chance to try the majority of places we weren’t able to last time and we are so glad we did! The restaurants are fabulous (with the exception of a couple) and the rental was a quick couple of minutes walk to everything. The yard was great for sitting in and chatting while listening to the local musicians. Immediately the the left of the house was a restaurant/pool hall with games that was kid and dog friendly! Overall this was a great trip and the house was perfect for the 3 days we were there.

Gulfport Beachy Cottage

The property is exactly as described neat and clean. The location was surprisingly better than we expected; its located half a block from a very cute street with lots of cafes and restaurants. The pier is located at the end of the street which is nice for fishing or leisurely walk. It's about a 12 minute drive to beautiful beaches on Treasure Island.

About the host

Hosted by David Ambler

David & Margaret
We're an international couple, who have lived and worked in New York, London and Paris and have 4 adult children.

We love traveling and have traveled extensively across the US and Europe. We enjoy sailing and the beach.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in 2018 and have been restoring it with the intention of recreating the beach camp that this property was back in 1939. At some point in its history the property became known as The Wishing Well. The renovation has truly been a labor of love. Each house has been beautifully renovated with its own unique features.
The Wishing Well encompasses half of a city block and is a wonderful place to relax or enjoy all the fun and quirkiness of Gulfport! Located in the Art District in Gulfport it is steps to the coffee shops, art shops, restaurants, beach bars and beach.

What makes this property unique

Gulfport is small city on the west coast of Florida with a wonderful 'Old Florida' feel. Take in a baseball game, deep sea fishing, sailing or or see the many art galleries and shopping in neighboring St Pete. Make sure you visit Ft. Desoto Park. It is a 350 acre park on the beach. It has been voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the US and is truly magical at sunrise and sunset. The park is just a short drive from Gulfport.
