This charming and quirky rental is just as described. Old Florida charm, and the location is excellent: right on the bay, next to a lovely little park, and close to the downtown action. Will stay there again!
Standing at the edge of the bay looking toward the rental entrance.
Walking from the rental across the park toward O'Maddy's, great food and happy hour spot.
A walk on the pier for a beautiful sunset.

This was the lovliest place I have every stayed. We were sad we didn't book an entire week! Lisa was lovely. The artistry and artisan effects complimented the style of the home. The beach area on the bay was quiet and secluded. Amazingly quiet considering "downtown" was a few blocks away!! Definitely coming back for a much longer stay next time!!

About the host

Hosted by Rachael Axtman

Host profile image
We celebrated one year with our property in vacation rental in March 2015, and we are excited to offer our our little slice of paradise to travelers. While our photo shows my husband, myself and my son, I, Lisa, am the one handling the details of your visit. My background is in film & TV and I work as a consultant, coach and producer to assist people in amplifying their prosperity by using media on the web. My husband is a metal artist (you can see his public art pieces in Gulfport - the Pelicans at Gulfport Beach behind the Casino and the Arch at the Art Village).

I am a 5 Rhythms dancer and I also enjoy practicing yoga at Yoga Moves in St. Petersburg.

Why they chose this property

I had been in the house several years before I discovered it was on the market in 1999 - I put in a full price offer without ever even looking at it again! I have felt such a deep sense of peace, fun and possibility on this property. On the edge of the quaint town of Gulfport, it truly is paradise! Yes, it's quirky and eclectic, and it is fabulous and comfortable, and, well, paradise...

What makes this property unique

Uh, the secluded sanctuary of a private beach steps from fantastic restaurants, live music, festivals and fun!
