River Lookout - A Unique Vacation Rental
THIS IS THE PARADISE VACATION HOME YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!
If you are looking for a peaceful, "getaway from it all" vacation or a vacation where you stay in a secluded area, but are just minutes away from awesome dining, great shopping, casinos, golf courses, Gulf of Mexico Beaches, and entertainment, this is the place for you and your group. Close to the fun, yet feeling like you've gotten away from it all.
HOUSE FLOOR PLAN: With every quote, a House Floor Plan is sent. This Floor plan is very detailed and the measurements are quite accurate. In addition, the floor plan depicts the surrounding grounds, the house's placement to the pool, river, etc. It's an amazing place.... But not every place, is perfect for every guest. Viewing this Floor Plan, checking out the amenities, looking at the photos, will ensure there are no unpleasant surprises.
LUGGAGE / GROCERY LIFT River Lookout has a luggage lift, but is NOT handicap accessible and this Lift is NOT for passengers. Guests will need to climb a set of stairs, the house is elevated. The stairs are the same as you would find in a 2 story house with 8 foot ceilings and a 2nd story. At the top of the stairs is the house (all on one level). .
If you've got someone mobility challenged in your group, my other house, the Great Escape River House, #351070 on VRBO, sleeping up to 27 people, with a Passenger Elevator, may suit your group better.... it has many of the same amenities you'll find in the River Lookout, except on a larger scale.
AMAZING FEATURES: What sets the River Lookout apart from other Vacation Rentals?
OUTSIDE: 💥PRIVATE 14' x 28' In-ground swimming pool (Rates reflect pools expected use between Mid March-Mid October) 💎60' Covered deck just outside the front door Offering great views of the property in an amazing tranquil Park like setting 💎Deck is Elevated providing awesome shaded area under the deck as well (over a 1000 sq ft of covered areas). 💥Luggage / Grocery Lift to easily move supplies from ground floor to 2nd floor 💥7/2023 Climate controlled Game Room opened (still a bit of a work in progress). At this posting, our only game is a pool table. Game Room is located at ground level and on Hot Days also offers a place to keep cool without heading upstairs. 💎Pool Table in the Game Room 💎Fire Pit with the option to have Firewood delivered prior to arrival 💎While in the city limits of Gulfport, this is not in a 'cookie-cutter' subdivision 💥Optional Hot tub, $125 (plus Taxes) for any stay up to 7 nights. This option needs to be added after booking and MUST be invoiced for and on the calendar at least 2 week prior to arrival. If included, prior to your arrival, the water is completely drained, the tub is cleaned, rinsed, drained (again), filled, treated, and heated. Time released tablets keep the hot tub clean throughout your stay. The tablets are not magic tablets. Guests must enter tub tub clean to maintain good water quality throughout their stay. 💎The grounds are tranquil in a park-like atmosphere 💎Plenty of parking for house occupants 💎On a mostly lazy River (the Biloxi River), with a private beach/sand bar 💎Bringing your boat? Tie it to a tree or the Pavilion at the sandbar 💎2 areas to grill 💎Continuous Hot Water 💎10 individual beds, 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms 💎This is YOUR private Resort
All of this for the private use of the Booked Overnight Guests of the River Lookout
....meaning your enjoyment of Gulfport isn't contingent on what you do or what you see in Biloxi/Gulfport. Between the River, house's amenities, river views, you can have a very relaxing stay away from it all. It is not like leaving your suburb home and going to another suburb home.

RATES: This listing site's Rate Structure does not work well for my larger houses'. It works fine for smaller rentals, but doesn't take into account the unique challenges of the larger vacation homes. The posted rates will work for the majority of bookings, but not for every booking. So inquiring Potential guests are not surprised by their quote, its important to note:
Posted Rates are based on: - Stays, over a weekend, being 4 or more nights - No check-in or out on a Saturday - The Guest count entered when booking includes all (overnighters and any visitors / all children and adults) - If a dog is accompanying any member of your group, this is noted on the inquiry and Pet Fee paid - Compliance with the Rental Agreement - Hot Tub is optional ($125 plus taxes) and must be paid for in advance at least 2 weeks prior to arrival (this is done through VRBO). - Unless declared in advance, there will be no visitors
That said, quotes for stays that don't meet the above criteria will be given, but they may be at a slightly higher rate.
RATES based on GUEST COUNT To keep the house rented and since 16 people rarely travel together, rates are based on less than the house can sleep.... Usually 10 people or less; above 10, there is a per person per night booked fee. This allows us to be competitively priced for smaller groups, but priced right for larger groups.

Our VRBO stay was amazing! The location was perfect. The house was clean. The beds were comfortable. We had plenty of space for 14 people. The hot tub was a special treat and very clean. We were able to swim, fish, play pool, foosball, and makes s’mores in the amazing fire pit. We had a fabulous time! Thank you for hosting. We so enjoyed our stay!
The spot was so cool with lots of room! The hosts were very responsive and clear in their communication.

Mychaela was an absolute delight to host! From the moment they booked, their excitement about the stay was clear, and their warm, positive energy made the whole experience even better.
They were incredibly communicative—always quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. It’s always a pleasure to host someone who is so kind, respectful, and genuinely appreciative.
We’d welcome Mychaela back anytime without hesitation. A truly sweet and 5-star guest all the way!
It was a pleasure spending time at this house the space in the house was great we weren't on top of each other ,plenty on bathrooms for us ,we were only there a short time i believe just 2 of us used the pool, but overall the home was great for our family to enjoy. Patricia thank you keep a lookout for my name through booking again in the future.
This property was very clean and spacious. It was the perfect set-up for the various ages. There was something for everyone. The private pool was a hit for the kids and the adults enjoyed the pool table...especially the men. Miss Dalton was accessible and just a phone call away to help with anything we needed. Everyone said that this was the best house yet!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Charleen at our vacation rental, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guest! From the very start, communication was smooth, clear, and friendly. They treated the home with the utmost respect—leaving everything spotless and just as they found it.
Charleen was thoughtful, courteous, and followed all house rules perfectly. It’s always a joy to host someone who truly appreciates and takes care of the space, and their attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed.
We would welcome Charleen back anytime and highly recommend them to any future host. A five-star guest in every way!
Great spot for three families to stay together during soccer weekend. The pool was great for the kids and we appreciated being able to wash uniforms for next day games. Will definitely be back.
Perfect fit for 5 guys that made a trip to golf. We spent hours on the deck laughing and making memories. The house was close to the golf courses and to restaurants. Would highly recommend
Patricia and her team made our first family vacation an amazing one. From the communication before we even began our journey to the immediate responses while at the property! The house was a perfect fit for us with all the amenities. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to another vacation hopefully booking with Patricia!!

Our stay of the River Lookout
We enjoyed our stay. We rented the Great Escape a while back and we were so pleased with the stay. To be honest, after staying in the Great Escape, we were quite disappointed with the River Lookout. When we drove up we thought we were in the wrong place judging from the exterior look of the house. We realize the rent on River Lookout is much cheaper, but we truly expected it to be a mini version of the Great Escape, judging from the photos.
Drive to property is scary. But on site is great. Pool turned green but worked on it and let us go to other pool 1 days. Pool beautiful when we left. Love fence in area for our dog. Grill great, hot top very nice. Grocery lift is wonderful.
We had 9 of us going down for Mardi Gras parades!! The lift to take luggage up was wonderful to have. The house if very nice and made you feel at home. Large deck to set out on and enjoy the outside view very peaceful and quite area. Fire pit to sit out at was nice enjoyed sitting out there a couple of nights. A place to sit down by the river. The place also has a pool we did not use it because of season but if you was there in the summer It would be great. Also there is a hot tub that we didn’t take part in cause we didn’t know how much time we would be around the house. All rooms are nice size beds are comfortable game room to shoot some pool. We couldn’t have ask for a better place to stay. The owner of the rental was great always got right back with me on questions I had. Highly recommended
This is by far the most amazing rental house I have ever visited. I fell in love just by the pictures but to my surprise it exceeded my expectations. We needed a place to get away but still had shopping nearby. The river, pool, hotub and home were immaculate and everyone was entertained the whole time. The kids were not begging to go spend money and we were able to sit on the deck in the mornings with a perfect view to get our work out of the way before heading down the pool. Patricia is accomadating and takes pride in her properties. You can tell she genuinely cares if you enjoy your time. We are already planning our next trip. Thank you Patricia for making this birthday week so special for us.
First of all, we loved the outside area! There were plenty of room. Loved the amenities of this house but did not get to really enjoy due to outside obligations! Wish we had a few more days!
The only suggestion would be to add bigger televisions & maybe make handicape accessible. 16 stairs were a bit much for my Mother and I would have loved to be able to invite my wheelchair bound Aunt!
The 4 page rental agreement is a bit intimidating but after meeting our host, Patricia we realize we were going to have a great stay! She was very helpful & always a phone call away!
We had a great stay.
The pics & explaining of the beds were not correct. Also the living room sofas were not correct in the pics
Basically the house was clean. We did find dead bugs or roaches around the house.
We did have an issue with the luggage lift. Would go down all the way but not to the top all the way.
The outside shower needs a pipe replaced. The water sprayed to top side & not down through the shower head.
One of the bar stool collapsed when one of the girls went to sit on it. Thank God she caught herself being 5 months pregnant.
Over all the house is very nice & roomy.
One of the ladies left a phone charger, she was in the master suite. If found please let me know.
I did send the info of this house to another group of ladies. They are looking for a place in September.
Thank you so much!

About the host
Hosted by Patricia Dalton
Since in my 20's, I've owned rental property. I’ve never had children or married; but have strong family values and am the favorite Aunt to my Siblings children. I always liked the idea of sharing my piece of paradise on the River. I knew that most renters would be people, like myself, wanting more than a hotel could offer & would be respectful of the Vacation Home they rented.
I pride myself on offering clean, comfortable, (as advertised) Vacation Rentals. I advertise an exceptional house & strive to not only meet, but exceed expectations.
To insure your stay is perfect (and I continue to LOVE having Vacation Rentals), I have a professional cleaning crew, someone part time for maintenance, and a rolodex of contractors. I handle everything they don’t... Guests, calendars, bookings, you know, the fun stuff.
One I LOVE about the Vacation Rental Industry, is that it allows me to be a bit of a tumble weed. Without a husband or other immediate family, this job allows me unusual freedom, as long as I’ve my iPad and internet.
About the Owner?I enjoy great conversations (can talk your ear off), nature ATVing, friends, cruises, most living things (great & small), learning about people, the world, life. I’ll try about anything on a dare from parachuting or swimming with sharks (yep, I’ve both of those things).
I will tumble weed, at a moments notice, to far flung regions, for adventure, a memorable experience, or on a dare :). Passport at the ready.
I am down to earth, a roll up the sleeves & get 'er done kind of gal.
Why they chose this property
Since 1996, I've enjoyed many weekends on the Biloxi River. Swam at the very beach you might decide to at the River Lookout. Because a previous owner had built up the land, this was about the only house sitting right on the ground. After Katrina, the City wanted me to tear it down. Thanks to a very creative Contractor, who suggested raising the roof and building the new house on the brick walls, I not only gained some much-needed storage (the old house is now a garage) but was able to completely redo the house's layout. I also added a large deck. In 2015, a 14 ft x 28 ft in-ground swimming Pool and Hot Tub was added. Also above the massive upper deck, a 60 ft x 18 ft long roof was added. This roof is a great cover for the upper deck and under that deck (ground level). Under the covered roof, I put a pool table.... but by 6/2023 even being under cover, outside had not been good for the pool table.
In 2022, always looking to add a cool amenity, I started work on the Game Room and 6/2023 Opened it (a little sooner than I wanted) to guests. At the end of July I promoted it as open on VRBO.
Why This neighborhood? Its sparsely populated, close to everything, offers an incredible way of life (nothing can beat River Life!) Our neighbors are mostly retirees and the neighborhood is very safe. Neighbors looking out for neighbors.
River Lookout is situated in a unique rural area, in the City Limits of Gulfport, close to I-10, perfect for the Vacationer who wish to headed off to Golf Courses, Shopping, Casinos, the Gulf of Mexico Beaches, which are less than 8 miles away, or one of the 100's of other fun things to do on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
What makes this property unique
One thing I think is pretty unique, the River Lookout looks kind of modest from the street. This is a serious case of 'Don't Judge the Book by the Cover'. The River Lookout is elevated, but because the ground was previously built up, it is not as many steps as other River Front property. There is a large covered upper deck, right out the front door, with patio furniture, ceiling fans, and a luggage lift. At ground floor is a game room with AC in the summer and Heat in the winter. The River Lookout is just a short walk (on a concrete path) to the Biloxi River. The River, it's Covered Pavilion, sandbar, beach (at most low tides), Some guests even bring their boats and tie up a tree (bring a long rope) at this sandbar.
As a 4 bedroom, 4 full bath House, on the River, this is also a bit unique. Most Riverfront homes are very small, often being just a single large room, or having one or two bedrooms and a bathroom. The expense associated with building a Home so far above the ground, often restricts its size. This house is a unique find on the River.
Add to it, The River Lookout, now comes with a swimming pool, It is truly a rare find in Gulfport.
I know of no other vacation rental on the Mississippi gulf coast that offers so much. Swimming pool, optional hot tub, on the River, private River beach, pavilion at river's edge, sleeps up to 16,.. all less than 8 miles from the Gulf of Mexico beaches.... well just one other offers this and more, my 2nd vacation rental #351070, The Great Escape River House, with all the same amenities, and even has a passenger elevator. To top it off, this house, the River Lookout (sleeps up to 16), can be rented along with the Great Escape River House (sleeps up to 27), providing a unique vacation experience for up to 43 people. The 2 houses are within very easy walking distance, even though, they can not be seen from each house. This and more is awaiting you at the River Lookout!
