Cute and Convenient

Loved staying at The Milo Inn! Being steps from great restaurants and live music of Gulfport was ideal. The village is such a special place, maintaining a laid back old Florida vibe. The homeowner was very easy to communicate with and had great suggestions for restaurants. The rental was charming with its eclectic decor and comfortable bedding. We especially enjoyed the updated kitchen and private deck. We can’t wait to come back!

Great time in Gulfport!

This property is a great location in Gulfport! It is close to everything! Stella’s serves a fantastic breakfast with a mimosa flight and the other shops were great too! The place is simple but has everything you need. The bed is extremely comfortable. The owner, August, went out of his way to help print a parking pass for an event. Highly recommend.

Good Time in Gulfport

We have stayed at the Milo Inn about a dozen times for both weekend stays and weeklong rentals. It is always clean and welcoming. The Inn is right on Beach Street - walking distance to some good restaurants and bars (with music). Gulfport is also a short drive to Tropicana Field (Rays Baseball), the St. Petersburg Grand Prix, and many other St. Petersburg attractions.

Milo Inn

We come to the Milo Inn several times a year for Rays games and the Grand Prix. Gulfport is convenient to downtown St. Petersburg, but it has its own unique atmosphere. There are lots of good restaurants and live music nearby. The Milo Inn is very centrally located, and the property is always clean. Checking in and out is easy. We plan to return often.

Fun in Gulfport

We enjoyed our stay at the Milo Inn. The location couldn't be better to enjoy this funky town. The property is old, but has an updated kitchen and was clean. The weather was a little chilly the week we were there but the space heaters quickly warmed it up. The deck is so nice as is the garden area.Thank you Vernon

Fun little bungalow

I think you need a better sleeper sofa. I’m very thankful I had a blow up mattress as I would not have wanted to sleep on the sleeper sofa.
