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!

A great experience

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.

The Perfect Place to Stay

This is the best appointed vacation home one could hope to find. It's a newer place, so everything is in top-notch condition. The owners are responsive and a pleasure to interact with. We were surprised how quickly one could travel to downtown St Pete or St Pete's Beach from here. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again and can't recommend it highly enough.

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.

Exceptional!

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!

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!
