Cozy family friendly cottage near Gulfport restaurants

My husband, toddler and I stayed with Tommy and Jody over Thanksgiving 2013 and enjoyed their lovely, sunny cottage and easy interactions with the owners who had the house stocked with all sorts of thoughtful extras. 5 minute drive to the main drag in Gulfport with several charming cafes with outdoor seating. We highly recommend staying with Tommy and Jody if you're visiting central Florida!

Loved it!

Loved this place! The other reviewers have described it perfectly. The only thing I might add is the bikes. There are 4 bikes available and it's way fun to cruise around this little town... not lots of traffic and a bike friendly atmosphere.

No Surprises

We were looking for a small inexpensive house in the Gulfport marina area. The house is on the older side, but everything worked and we had no issues.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr 2020
We are glad you liked our home. The charm of Gulfport Florida is that most of the homes are 1950's vintage, sweet and charming of days gone by. We work hard to maintain the originality of the home without compromising function. Thank you for staying with us.

Sweet little 50’s style home in quite neighborhood

Owners were fantastic about fixing any little problems that came up. The home has a wonderful back yard with new grill and raised seating area. New washer and dryer. And a cute screened in front porch. Great tv with many sources of entertainment. Close to parks and within walking distance to the beach. We loved it!!

Fun Getaway

My boyfriend and I recently visited. We wanted to stay in a place that felt like a beach home...not your typical hotel. This place was perfect! The house itself is adorable .It was such a find!! It was bright and clean and decorated beautifully. Each room had a huge bed with comfy linens. We came without our 5 kids but will definitely bring them next time. Very kid friendly with a big, private, fenced in back yard and a great deck and seating area to grill and hang out. My favorite part was the location. It was walking distance to Gulf Port, which is a fun town on the water with many restaurants. We ate at a few, O'Maddy's was our favorite, and each time the food and service was delicious. There are also many unique shops adjacent to the restaurants. We cannot wait to stay here again and highly recommend this home to other travelers!!!

We are so happy that you enjoyed our home and Gulfport so much :-). It is so hard to explain what a wonderful area and great community it is that we live in. Once people experiance it they truly get the vibe. You and your family are more than welcome to come back any time. Thank You for staying at our home, Tommy and Jody

An enjoyable 4th of July Gulfport holiday!

Jody and Tommy went out of their way to make our family visit to Gulfport an enjoyable 4-night stay--starting with helpful tips about local activities for our grandchildren and a smooth check-in at their bungalow. Their place was clean, comfortable, nicely furnished and quiet and we felt quite safe walking around the neighborhood. The kitchen was small but had adequate glasses, plates, pans and utensils for all our cooking needs and the single updated bathroom worked fine for our 3 adults and two children. The location was great and only 4 short blocks from the Clam Bayou Nature Park, where we walked, fished, and watched the birds, boats, and fireworks. The Gulfport Community was fun to explore with several parks and playgrounds, an interesting history center, an award-winning public library, a unique dance hall, a long fishing pier, an active recreation center and several welcoming restaurants. In short, it was a memorable 4th of July vacation!

Gulfport

We were extremely happy with our Gulfport accommodations for two months. Tommy and Jody are fabulous hosts! They responded to our needs very quickly and return all calls/texts almost immediately. It is obvious they want their guests to be comfortable! When we arrived, the house was spotless with many essentials available. The kitchen is well-stocked; I baked for the first time ever in a rental unit! The beds are extremely comfortable with good quality bedding. The living room is very comfortable and the screened front porch is great for relaxing with a good book! The fenced-in yard was perfect for us and our dogs. There is a large backyard deck and grill with plenty of propane. Gulfport is a great area. We had a wonderful time in this fantastic neighborhood. We can’t wait to return. Thank you, Tommy and Jody for your outstanding hospitality!

Convenient to Everything

My wife and our dogs really enjoyed our stay. We walked the dogs every morning down by the marina to the Clam Bayou Nature Park. We were there to see the Dali Museum and the Chihuly Collection which were less than a 15 minute drive away. My wife needs it really quiet to sleep and it was quiet as advertised. Sitting out on the deck was nice for happy hour. We plan to be back to explore more of the area.

You feel like you are staying with good friends!

The house is set up perfectly and is cozy and comfortable. The location is superb, as it is so close to the Gulfport waterfront district. The town is not a touristy venue, but is a nice community filled with great restaurants, small artsy shops and a great beach area.An easy drive to watch the sunset over the ocean. We were very sad to leave and plan to come back to this spot again
