YOUR HOST: Debra Hilgeman, owner/premier host, lives nearby and takes great pride in ensuring the best possible experience for every guest.

* THINGS TO DO: Walk to the beach (and bring the dogs with you) and follow the boardwalk for miles, eat at the great restaurants downtown, play at the casinos, visit the new aquarium, golf at nearby courses, and enjoy all that the beautiful Mississippi Coast has to offer. West Side Park and waterfront Jones Park are nearby. Fishing piers and the Ship Island Ferry are also close by--take a memorable trip to an island with Civil War fort and beautiful island beaches and you'll probably see schools of dolphins following the ferry.

* UTILITY ROOM: Washer/dryer and laundry supplies. Iron/ironing board.

PORCH AND PATIO: Large front porch has view of Gulf, plenty of seating to enjoy the ocean breeze. Huge patio under the house on ground level has picnic table, bar, hammock, cocktail table, corn hole game, yard croquet game, more.
* PARKING: Driveway can accommodate three vehicles.
* GAMES AND BEACH GEAR: Beach chairs, beach towels, board games and kid games inside.
* DAY TRIPS: Exciting day trips to the New Orleans French Quarter, Bourbon Street, and plantation museums are less than a two-hour drive from Palm View Beach House. Or, head east to Mobile and the battleship and submarine for a fun day trip.

Sorry, but no cats due to allergies. Exceptions on a case-by-case basis as authorized by Host. If guests bring any unauthorized pet(s), the deposit will be forfeit. The cleaning company doesn't charge extra upfront for pet(s) but any evidence left behind (hair, messes, etc.) will result in extra cleaning fees depending on how much the cleaning company needs to do.

About the host
Hosted by Debra Hilgeman
I've been renovating homes in Gulfport as long-term rentals and have also had vacation rentals for more than 10 years. I love this area--the Southern hospitality, variety of fun things to do, and being on the water! It's been home for almost 30 years and I love to host guests in my lovely homes. I'm a Premier Host on VRBO and also have an historic cottage a few blocks away; listing 2024156, with nothing but five-star reviews!
Why they chose this property
Palm View House is located close to everything the Coast has to offer! Walk one block to the beach, and short drive to downtown, casinos, Mississippi Aquarium, and other charming beach communities. This house has just undergone a meticulous renovation with a palm tree theme, and has a unique fun area underneath the house that is perfect for you, your family and friends to gather!
What makes this property unique
Gorgeous Gulf views and an amazing house set among the palms. The large front porch overlooks the Gulf of Mexico's sandy beaches. The house got a total renovation that was finished in March 2021. The 1200 sf lower patio has a large propane grill, picnic table, high top table, bar, grill, swing, and games for adults and kids. The fenced yard opens onto the patio and is great for pets and kids.
