Living Spaces
You won’t believe how spacious this home feels! Two separate living spaces offer plenty of room for everyone to spread out.
The main living area is open to the kitchen and features comfy couches to sink into as you enjoy the AC after a hot day in the Florida sun. From the couch, you’ll have a great view of the pool area, so you won’t have to miss any of the action even when you’re inside. There is also a work space (and WiFi) if you need to check in while you’re away.
The second living space is perfect for when you need a little time for yourself (or to tuck the kids away). With an incredibly large flatscreen TV and comfy seating, it's the perfect place to watch a favorite movie or show.
Kitchen and Dining
Try out some fun new recipes in the fully-stocked kitchen, with its vibrant colors and funky decor. There is plenty of counter space for meal prep, and a peek-through wall opening with a counter to make serving drinks easy. Steps from the kitchen is the dining table with seating for six.
Bedrooms and Baths
The split floor plan makes it easy to find privacy from others in your group. On one side of the house, you’ll find two bedrooms and one hall bathroom for them to share. On the other side of the house is the third bedroom, with the second bathroom nearby (through the second living area). Two of the 3 bedrooms have their own flatscreen TV so late-night show watchers will be all set.
Bedroom 1: King bed Bedroom 2: King bed Bedroom 3: Queen bed
Bathroom 1: Shower, single vanity Bathroom 2: Shower, single vanity
Outdoor Amenities The huge backyard is a gem! You won’t need to leave to feel like you’re on vacation. Let the kids and dogs run around the large grassy yard while you sunbathe on a lounge chair by the pool. It’s completely private, with plenty of vegetation and a privacy fence separating you from the neighbors. And if you’re not into the sun, there is a ton of shade on the covered patio, complete with ceiling fans to keep you cool. Whether you’re reading a book on a lounge chair or dining al fresco at the four-seater dining table with string lights providing the ambiance, the covered patio makes indoor-outdoor living simple for everyone in your party.
Around the Area
Gulfport has been called a lot of things, but boring isn’t one of them! It has been referred to, in no particular order, funky, eclectic, artsy, charming, progressive, welcoming, warm, and even weird. It proudly accepts all of it!
The downtown is small, but exceptionally welcoming. You won’t find any chain stores, or parking meters, but you will find beautiful old oak trees dripping in Spanish moss. And you will definitely find small-town friendliness and warmth.
Beach and Shore Boulevards are at the heart and soul of our historic downtown area and are directly situated on scenic Boca Ciega Bay. Those downtown shops are all independently owned and operated and feature works of local artists and artisans, as well as clothes, books, gifts, home decor, and more.
A concentration of more than a dozen restaurants in the village has made Gulfport a premier dining destination. You can find anything from a burger to fine dining.
Visit the nearby Pinellas beaches in Pass-A-Grille, St. Pete Beach, and Treasure Island for a fun beach day. Our home is also only a few blocks away from Tomlinson Park and the Gulfport Spur to the Pinellas Trail.

Very clean, private home that is close to everything in Gulfport. We were in town for a golf tournament and having the pool was wonderful after a day on the course. The home has everything necessary for an enjoyable stay.
Great place! Very Florida vibes! The pool was beautiful and loved the trees around, couldn’t even tell there were neighbors. Great location, close to beach, restaurants and bars. The host was great too! Very responsive and helpful! Well def be back!
Enjoyed our stay. House was clean and ready for next guests. My only complaint would be some work needs to be done on the weeds etc in backyard but otherwise a fantastic stay.
Celebrating my Sons birthday .. we went boating and did the beach for a day.Fun fun and relaxing Decor beachy theme. Very very nice I would definitely stay again .
Central to so many great places including Indian Rocks, Treasure Island, and our personal favorite De Soto State Park. Neighborhood is quiet, house is great for a family, and the back yard provides the perfect escape for a break from the beaches.

Providing a comfortable, well-situated home is a top priority for us, and we're glad you were able to enjoy the nearby attractions and the peaceful backyard during your stay.

This place has everything you need. Nice privacy in the back with a pool and the rooms were cozy. We loved the retro vibe of the house. It stays in character throughout.
This place is amazing and the decor makes you feel like you’re in your own Golden Girls home. Great layout, amazing backyard and porch. I highly recommend foe friends & family trips.
The house is adorable, and Gulfport is a great location. We were close to downtown St. Pete for city sightseeing, and also near the beach. The saltwater pool is wonderful. This is a great house for a girls trip or family. I would definitely book again.
We booked this property last minute over Fathers Day weekend. Great atmosphere to just hang out in the pool with family and friends. Gulfport is a charming town and you are also very close to Passé Grille, our favorite place to watch the sunset!
Great location close to Gulfport/St Pete/Tampa area. House was clean and had a lot of amenities. The host was easy to contact and responsive. Check in and check out were very easy. Thank you for a lovely stay!
The house is clean and in a great neighborhood. Close to restaurants, shopping, and beach. The house is spacious, perfect floor plan, comfortable beds, and fully stocked home. The backyard is large fully fenced in, great patio area, and the pool is well maintained. This is a great vacation home and I will definitely book again.
Well equipped home. Very clean and well organized. Neighborhood seemed safe and was quiet at night. Pool was cool and refreshing. We didn't have the pool heat on but the water was pleasant. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this Gulfport property.

Very good
This property was a perfect place for our family, including our dogs. Heated pool, tall well built fence and beautiful backyard garden made the trip so relaxing. It was also great to have the 3 bedrooms and separate living rooms to allow for late night gaming away from parents sleeping. The property was well stocked in the kitchen and had plenty of towels for the pool. It is only 10 minutes to the most beautiful beach and restaurants are close by too. We loved our stay and would do it again.
