Great place and location to stay

We totally enjoy this condo very roomy. The fenced in backyard was great for the dog. The backyard deck great place to relax. No steps to enter the condo which is wonderful after shopping and there is a whole lot of shopping to be done. The pool is nice. You just turn right to leave the property and there is the ocean. Great place to walk wide sidewalks. Great smells for the dog. We had wonderful experiences with the owner and the property manager, we will be coming back next year!

Great vacation

Learned of beach closures after booking . Communication with Amy the property manager was prompt and helpful with other options for fun during our stay . We had a great time and this condo was perfect. Ship island was a highlight, the battleship in Alabama and New Orleans were a short drive away which also made the location ideal .

Ideal location, super easy to rent

This property owner was extremely accommodating to our family. The 3-bedroom, 3-bath gave everyone their own space. And, the walk to the beach was barely 2 blocks. Where we were located it was like you had a private beach with no tourists. Every day we had the whole beach to ourselves. The property owner left a lot of games and toys for beach play and even a binder filled with places to go and things to do in the area. We will definitely visit exact same property for every trip to the Gulf Coast.

Great Thanksgiving by the beach

We were looking for a place to stay that was near Keesler AFB and was able to support celebrating Thanksgiving. This property provided us with both and then some. Plenty of beds, rooms and bathrooms to accommodate our family. It also had a short walk to the beach and driving to the local attractions was easy. We visited the Gulfport Aquarium which was very nice, I highly recommend it. Lots of seafood restaurants in the area if you are hungry. Walmart was also very close if you need to do some shopping. The rental was very clean and had all of the cooking items needed for a Thanksgiving Holiday. We only had one car so parking in the assigned spot was not an issue. The spot is also on the end so we didn't have to worry about two cars boxing us in. The space also provided easy access to bring luggage to/fro the rental.

Took my family to welcome home my husband from a deployment and had a great time!

We were very impressed with our stay! The home was very clean and close to the beach. Had an issue with codes to get in at first, but Amy responded IMMEDIATELY, so there were no hiccups at all!! She was driving at the time and even PULLED OVER to reply to me right away. There were beach chairs, board games, and other extras. We could tell that they put a lot of thought into everything! They even surprised us and had a welcome home package delivered for my husband to thank him for his service! We brought our Yorkies with us, so we didn’t have to pay to board them, and the home was already cheaper than getting multiple hotel rooms for my family. Definitely saved some money going the VRBO route! Would stay again in the future and highly recommend to others!

Much needed break

We had a great time at this property! The listing is very accurate except the distance to the beach. Walking from the rental I would say is more like 4 blocks but it was not a big deal at all! The kitchen is pretty well equipped. It was missing things like measuring cups and spoons and a pizza cutter but overall has what you need. It would have been nice to have more spices, some cooking oil and foil available. The bedrooms were very nice. The master bed is older and could use replacing but was still comfortable. The pillows were nice and the sheets were soft. The bathrooms were nice also. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The owners have a wagon, chairs, umbrella and beach toys available for use which was wonderful! The wagon was a lifesaver! It allowed us to haul everything we needed back and forth without driving. The community pool was nice also. My daughter enjoyed swimming after the beach. I wasn’t sure it would be available in March but it was. The owner even let us know in advance of some repairs that were being made that would impact availability. The location of the property was so convenient! We were able to visit Mobile AL and NOLA with a short drive. We managed to check off 8 states on our trip! I highly recommend this property. The owners were so responsive and made us feel very welcome!

Staying in this home helped make my birthday weekend that much more special! Being so close to the beach, along with all the activities inside and outside the property that kept my family entertained as well! The pool was lovely and there was a discovery center just around the corner! The host was so attentive and caring with her little gifts for me to enjoy on my special day and it helped make my entire weekend.. Everything was clean and organized and I am still overjoyed from our stay! I'd book there again soon if I could.

Our family loves to be near the beach so when we saw this great location we couldn't resist! Whether we bring the kids - or my parents - no matter the age - the Gulf never disappoints.
It's a great place to visit, explore or just relax and enjoy the food, fun and family. Come and visit the Gulf- you'll be glad you did!

Why they chose this property

The area isn't crowded and the people are friendly. The food is amazing!
Whether you enjoy golf, the beach, shopping or the casinos- it's all with in a short distance!

What makes this property unique

When we travel it wasn't always easy to find a 3 bedroom/ 3 bath. This great when you are looking for a place for 2 families to stay together. My 3 boys love to visit and a lot of times bring friends!
