I booked a last minute trip with my family/friends and found this gem! The house was gorgeous and in the perfect location. A quick walk to the beach and so close to everything you need. The hosts were wonderful and very quick to respond if you needed anything. Best part is they are pet friendly, we brought 2 of our dogs for their first beach trip!

Good morning Wendy! Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re so happy you chose to stay with us and that you enjoyed your visit! We appreciate your comment about the walk to the beach. While our cottage is located about a block and a half from the beach and we strive to describe that as accurately as possible in our listing, we understand that everyone’s perception of walking distance is different. Thank you again for being such a wonderful guests and we hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay on the Coast! Sincerely, Carolyn & Kim

The cottage was a wonderful stay. Loved the beach feel of the home and decor. They provided multiple extra amenities for the bathroom, kitchen and laundry. The hosts were very helpful to navigate us thru out our stay with recommendations on places to go and also some problem solving. Hands down best experience I could have ever hoped for. Would definitely book again if we venture to Gulfport to see my son before his Naval station is up.Thank you, HannahRockwell City, IA

Loved our stay!! Close to the beach (we drove, so a short drive but parking is super easy and lots of free parking). I loved that they had beach stuff, umbrella and sand toys for the kids! It was so nice to not have to go out and purchase. The house was clean, the beds were comfy!

The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and had such a warm, positive demeanor. The price was very reasonable, and the location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach in a quiet, private area.There was plenty to enjoy at the property, including games, cornhole, and beach supplies, which made our stay even more fun and convenient. The home smelled fresh the moment we walked in and was exceptionally clean, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay. Overall, I would rate this experience a 10 out of 10. I would absolutely book this property again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Our stay was so relaxing. Everything we needed was there and it was only a few minutes' walk to the beach. We enjoyed a quiet night by the fire and relaxed on the back patio with the lights listening to music. It was a perfect spot for a getaway. We brought our dog and the fenced in back yard was perfect for him. Everything was very clean and so comfortable! We definitely plan to stay here again! If you want a cozy quiet place to stay this is it!
