About this property

Gulf Breeze Depot, private pool, walk to beach, 4 bathrooms! Fenced in yards

COVID POLICY: Unless Gulfport restricts travelers from staying at vacation homes there will be no exceptions to my cancellation policy for COVID illness or travel restrictions/interuptions You may want to purchase travel insurance and inquire about covid coverage.

The Gulf Breeze Depot (a Three Live Oaks property) is located in a quiet residential neighborhood within walking distance to the beach. The home is next to the train tracks but we don't think you will mind. We have used solid foam insulation and sound deadening windows to make this a quiet home. You can hear the trains but you don't have to turn up your t.v. or stop talking when they go by. Most of our guests enjoy the close proximity as they can watch the trains go by from the large picture window in the dining room or you can see them from the living room window while relaxing on the sofa.
We have an extra large porch perfect for spending time with friends and family. The kids will have fun counting the train cars as they go by.

We have an in ground swimming pool with a large deck area with plenty of seating. The pool is 4 1/2 - 5 feet dep to make it perfect for playing volleyball/games or swimming. This is not a diving pool.The professional tropical landscaping makes it feel like your own private resort There is a fence separating the pool area from the rest of the yard. The pool will be open March 1- October 15th. It may open sooner and close later but I will only promise these dates. Our closing dates are approximate depending on the weather.
There is a 24'x24' two car garage and driveway entrance from 3rd Street and additional parking when you enter from the alley.

Upon arrival you are impressed with the exterior and then you get to walk inside and get amazed with the interior. We have bead board ceilings with a vaulted ceiling in the living room. The living room furniture is custom ordered from Bassett Furniture. Relax on the sectional sofa, chairs or the 'sleeper car'. What is a sleeper car? We made a bonus sleeping area in the living room inspired from the 'sleeper cars' inside of trains. It is hid behind curtains, once you open them, crawl into the nook and rest on the twin size mattress. It is situated where you can watch the large 60 inch tv from bed. Kid tested and loved.
Be sure and bring your Netflix login information as each t.v. is Netflix ready!

The bedrooms are all coastal themes and have ceiling fans. Three bedrooms each with a flat panel. The big bonus is the attached bathrooms for every bedroom. Even the 'sleeper car' guests get a bathroom of their own. Yes, you counted right, we have 4 full baths! The gas tankless hot water heater keeps everyone in hot showers. The bathrooms each have their own tile design.
The kitchen is well equipped with new appliances. The kitchen island seats three. The kitchen table seats 6. There is a 42' flat panel tv for the kitchen/dining room to share. We added two club chairs for added comfort while hanging out there.

The laundry room is right off the dining room making it easy to fold your laundry on the kitchen table. The washer and dryer are front loading extra large capacity.

Your coastal paradise awaits you and your family & friends!

Maximum number of guests is 10. Minimum age of primary renter is 25.
If traveling with a larger group we have another house in walking distance to the Depot.

Quiet Retreat

The house was perfect for our family retreat. Beds were very comfortable and quiet. The trains passing by was bately noticeable. Pool was a great added bonus. The boys loved the grassy area to play. Very relaxing stay and would definately consider staying here again. The host and her team were easy to correspond with.

Overall great house!

We enjoyed our stay. The house is set up very nicely. Everything was what we expected or better for the most part. The reviews we read were accurate regarding the trains, but really didn't bother us too bad. Super close to the beach. Only thing we noticed is that the couch needs to be cleaned. Dirty under the cushions and the fabric. Other than that, very nice.

Sweet Home

My family and I stayed at the Gulf Breeze Depot again this summer. We chose this sweet house for the second time for several reasons: 1) The location of the house couldn't be better. You're probably a 5 minute walk away from the beach. It's also close to several interesting little towns such as Bay St. Louis with its quaint town shops and restaurants. We also spent one of our last nights in Biloxi at the Pier and Margaritaville. We also drove over to Hattiesburg to check out the Pocket Museum...(this is a must) 2) Gulfport has some of the best restaurants we've ever been to. Don't miss Steves or The Half Shell Oyster House. 3) This house is comfy and inviting with the best pool. We spent HOURS just relaxing in it. I cannot express how much we enjoyed our stay last year, and this year as well. I highly recommend this gem of a house.❤️

Wonderful Vacation

The house was exactly what we wanted. It was very spacious. All three bedrooms had en-suites plus an additional bathroom close to the door to the pool. The whole family enjoyed the pool. There was plenty of seating inside and outside of the house. The neighborhood was quiet (minus an occasional train) and you could easily walk to the beach.

Home away from home

It was everything as advertised and more! Super close to the beach and the aquarium, and right across the tracks was a little hole in the wall tavern with pool tables.. was about a 5 min walk and we had some fun there as well. The house was roomy and comfortable. We enjoyed several meals made from scratch at the house and they had everything we needed. My kids loved the trains and airplanes that passed by. There is a museum called trainatics or something like that, that is a must see spot. Its 5 minutes from the house. The train museum has tons of fun activities for the kids. We had some spotty rainy weather most of our 4 day visit, but there was plenty to do in the area. We would love to come back in the summer to utilize the poom and local beach. I can tell that shannon the owner truely cares about her guests perception and comfort of the depot. The grill and pool and the 2 car garage are great amenities. We had a hail scare and luckily had the garage to park my one ton truck and my moms big suv. We loved the covered porch and spent many hours on it.

About the host

Hosted by Donna Rowland

Host profile image
We fell in love with the Mississippi coast right before Katrina hit.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for the size of the lot. I spent a lot of the budget on the exterior living. Of course I had to put in an inground pool to make this into our dream home. This house is located right behind our Gulf Breeze Cottage which adds to the property attraction.

What makes this property unique

I love being this close to the trains. I built this house with travelers in mind. There are FOUR bathrooms! The privacy is a huge plus as you swim or lounge/play in the pool area.
