Quick Get Away

This is the perfect spot for a quick getaway. It’s close enough to the beach that we could walk, and far enough from down town to get peace and quiet. My chihuahuas loved the back yard and their own doggy blanket/bed. I thought one was going to take one of the toys. Items provided for a beach excursion including chairs, toys, and boogie boards. We will be staying again.

Our Favorite Home Away from Home

This our favorite place to stay for a long weekend/ week get a way. With our fur baby welcomed with open arms it’s just perfect. The cottage is super clean with a fully stocked kitchen and laundry room. Awesome screened in porch for a relaxing afternoon/ evening. There is a fenced in yard for our fur baby to safely play outside. They even had treats and toys to for our dog play with. They really think of everything for your stay. When contacting them with questions they reply right away. It’s like reaching out to family. We are already planning our next trip!

Our stay in Gulfport

A great place to stay. The places on both sides of the house and the lot across the street are pretty shabby but that’s not the owner’s fault. She was very responsive to any concerns we had.

Absolutely perfect!

My wife and I came for a weekend to celebrate her birthday and we couldn't have been happier. The Host truly went above and beyond our expectations. The attention to detail is second to none. She really thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The neighborhood is quite and safe a, and conveniently located. She even left a birthday card, a bottle of wine, and a cake for my wife. If you have pets, she has thought of everything for your fur babies too. I can't say enough about this place. Will definitely return soon. conviexpectations.

Beautiful Home

The cottage was beautiful, clean, and cozy! We felt like we were at home! Any questions I had for Carolyn she responded fast! It was our anniversary and we had an amazing time in Gulfport!! When we arrived we had a bottle of wine, a little cake, and a card from Carolyn telling us happy anniversary and that was honestly so sweet and something that she definitely didn’t have to do but did because she goes the extra step, underneath the sink she had anything you could think of that you might have forgot at home. The couch was so comfy also, that was a big plus after walking around all day and exploring everything to come back to the cottage and snuggle on the couch and watch a movie! The internet is fast! The bed was very comfy also! We will be back for sure!

Get away end of Summer and to celebrate our 37th Wedding Anniversary

The Sea Turtle Cottage was Lovely. It was home away from home. Everything was there that you would need and anything you may have forgotten to pack. The place we very well taken care of. You could tell there was so much love in all the details. The neighborhood was very quiet and neighbors that you did see in passing were very friendly. We took our Fur baby and our Daughter was able to join us for half of our trip and she also brought her fur baby. We had plenty of room and rested nicely. The back yard was great for them to run around. The screened in porch was nice and peaceful to sit out and enjoy the day or evening. Host Carolyn was awesome in helping with any questions we may have and always available. Carolyn even surprised us with a nice Anniversary card, wine, cake and ice cream was waiting for us. It was so thoughtful that she put this extra touch in for her guest, making it even more special. It was much appreciated. I wish we could take this little Paradise Cottage with us every time we travel to a new place. There would be nothing that you would be disappointed in your stay here. Thank again Carolyn. If we are ever in the Gulfport area again we will be sure to book again with you. P.S Sadie and Abby says thank you for her yummy treats. :) Sincerely, Sandy, Steve, Amanda, Sadie and Abby 2024

Awesome

This was perfect for my husband and I. We had 2 of our dogs with us and it worked out perfectly. While staying there the 2 of us also realized how nice it would work for a small family or 2 couples. Very clean, quiet and close to all the fun activities in the area. We had such a great time.

Gulfport Getaway

Our getaway to Gulfport was perfect thanks to our stay at the Sea Turtle Cottage. Nicely updated and decorated older two bedroom home. Very comfortable and furnished with everything we needed. The air conditioning worked great and the house was well insulated so it was very quiet. Your pet is special here and our cat loved exploring and sitting out on the screened in porch. This is definitely a “be back” and I highly recommend it for small families and couples. The host is very helpful and recommended several restaurants and casinos to us. Many good restaurants are nearby and it’s a short drive to many casinos. We felt very at home at the Sea Turtle and look forward to doing this again!!
