About this property

***Just a note*** We only accept well-behaved, non-aggressive breeds. There is an additional Pet Fee, which you will be prompted to add when you book. Sorry, no cats.

This is not your typical rental with hand-me-down everything. From the moment you walk in, you will feel at home in this cozy beach cottage. This lavishly redone home has a spacious master suite with jetted tub and stall shower, plus sliding doors to the heated pool. A privacy fence surrounds the pool with landscape lighting that makes you feel like you're at a 5 star resort. The master has a loveseat, two chairs, a coffee table, and a dressing table, plus a huge Tommy Bahama armoire. Relax in the large living room with wide-screen TV and electric fireplace (no mess, just ambience!), do some quiet reading in the cozy office, or hang out in the pool surround with your morning java & paper. The roomy second bedroom has its own private bath with tub shower. Both bedrooms have high end bed covers. Our small office has a desk, wi-fi, and a 3 in1 printer. There is also a very comfy loveseat, which can be converted into a twin-size bed by adding the third section. The kitchen has the latest appliances and is well equipped for those who like to cook. Don't care to cook? There is a plethora of fabulous restaurants just three short blocks from your door. The screened lanai has many lounging chairs, a table and a grill, plus lots of pool toys for kids & adults alike. Our front porch features a small seating area for two, plus a bistro table under the trees for al fresco dining. Our laundry room was refurbished in Jan. 2019 and is equipped with new washer & dryer, iron and board, and lots of cabinet & drawer space. A quiet, safe getaway perfect for a couple or family where you can walk or bike to everything you need.

Nice place

The house is well kept and we found it very comfortable. The owners checked in periodically and were very responsive to any questions. The location is wonderful. The area is very quiet with shops and restaurants just a couple blocks away. We would stay at this house again.

Clean, Quiet, and Lovely

We loved this house. Everything was very luxe, clean, and all the amenities were there. The living room had a very nice seating area for my whole family, a large TV that we used all week, and it was the perfect central location. The kitchen had tons of appliances, and it even had a hot water spout. The fridge was very nice, and we loved the crushed ice maker. The dining room had a nice view of the pool, and a great table for family dinners. Off the dining room was another bathroom and the laundry room, which my family loved. The bedrooms were also very nice. We loved the king bed, and the giant bathroom. The bidet was a very fun addition. We never even got around to using the bath, but I'm sure it was very nice. The pool is next level. My family spent basically the whole vacation in the it. I'm jealous we don't have our own pool at home! The town close to the house is very funky, and Stella's is absolutely delicious! We went back twice on our stay! The grocery stores are very close to the house as well. The owner is easily accessible and kind. Overall, I would highly recommend this house if you want to be close to quiet neighbors, a cool town, and a small beach.

Disappointing

We got to the property and found that the pool was not circulating. It was not working as it should as stated in the book of explanations and we decided to come home a week early and forfeit the money for the second week. The post and rail on the front porch was broken, most of the cabinets in the kitchen were full of their condiments and food items and left very little room for items we might have wanted to purchase and store while we were there. There was partial bags of chips (3)in one cabinet. Evidently the property manager did not inspect the house after each renter left the house before next renter. House is very cluttered and had a lot of the managers personal items in the different rooms. Condition of the couch and love seat is terrible. Television was set up on a personal setting where you couldn't get local channels.Just a place that i would not want to rent again

Why they chose this property

This sweet little cottage in a lovely quiet neighborhood is beautifully appointed, yet you can walk a block to the beach or 3 blocks to restaurants, pubs, and shops. EVERYTHING in Gulfport is a short walk away. Take a yoga class, get a massage, have your nails done, get your dog groomed, pick out a book at the library, have lunch on the beach, take a salsa lesson, ride your bike to the market, fish off the pier or just plain relax by our pool and read a book. You CAN have it all:)

What makes this property unique

We are located in the coveted Arts District of Gulfport. Our neighborhood has brick streets with shading tree canopies. Our neighbors are super nice and will probably greet you as you stroll by. The beach is a 5 min. walk and we provide beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, plus a beach wagon to to haul your equipment. There are two good bikes on premises equipped with locks, plus additional bike rentals are close by. Boat, kayak, and jet ski rentals are also close by. Bus transportation within 2 blocks to beaches and cities of St. Petersburg, Tampa & Sarasota.
