About this property
Stay in a lovely historic home close to beach, town, and casinos.
This gem of a house has just been lovingly restored & renovated. Sleeps 6 comfortably. Gourmet kitchen with gas stove and copper vent, marble butcher block counter and marble backsplash, cast iron/porcelain clawfoot tub center bath & full-size shower off master. 2 1/2 baths make staying more comfortable. Full front porch and a glimpse of the Gulf. Steps to the Island View Casino. Come and stay, cook, visit the beautiful coast, the property is less than 2 miles from the Ship Island ferry and beaches which boast white sand and fun. Great place for a romantic getaway or a family stay.. The neighborhood is friendly, but not fancy. If you prefer a gated community with no diversity, this may not be for you. Some homes nearby in varioud states of repair after storms and such. The home is my prized renovation that we rebuilt from the ground up, but kept the original longleaf pine floors, 9-foot ceilings, and gorgeous diamond windows, hence her name. If you are looking for something special and NOT generic, you have found it! More recent pictures of finished bedrooms coming - 2 bedrooms have a bath, and one near the back (2 twin-sized beds) is on the right side of the house.

About the host
Hosted by Lilly Allen
My dream was to restore an old property somewhere close to the water. This was it. We gutted to the studs in the areas that were destroyed, raised and straightened, and saved the floors and picture moulding, but most important, the diamond mullion windows ! A dream to do. Now I share it with you. This isn't my business, this is my home. It may sound corny, but it's personal.
Why they chose this property
A true craftsman down to the solid pillars. Lath and plaster walls, solid wood construction, old single-paned windows (not energy efficient, but true to her heritage). I saved this house from demolition.
What makes this property unique
The home is on the National Registry of Historic Places, but the blessing is that I learned this after much research and work. It was built in 1923 and has withstood many, many storms. Uniquely, she didn't flood during Katrina, but the word on the street was that the chicken that the port brought in was all around the neighborhood making for one big mess. Fortunately, we have moved from that terrible time and now again hear the trains whistle (yes, several times a day), feels like moving back in history. Gulfport is gorgeous, with grit and interest. I love it.
