2BR- Gulfport Beach House

Summary:
Charming apt (front unit of duplex) with hardwood floors, AND enormous backyard with semi-private beach on Boca Ciega Bay (not the Gulf of Mexico), shared with guests of other unit when booked!! Enjoy the peace of sand and sea, shore birds and sea life, AND restaurants, shops, live music, Art Walks, farmer's market just steps away.

The Space:
This 2 bedroom historic home features a king bed in one BR and a double and twin in the second BR. It is adjacent to a large public park and pier in the quaint town of Gulfport. Perfect for walking to great restaurants, fishing from the beach or off the Pier, bird watching, sunning and relaxing! Truly feels like a retreat just steps from town.

Please also check our discounted weekly and monthly rates.

Guest Access:
Washer and Dryer in garage and Private Beach is available for your use. Both are shared with guests in back 1 BR and Studio.

Beach is ideal for bird watching and full of sea life - crabs of many kinds, fish, crown conch, etc. Swimming is perhaps more enjoyable for adults and older kids at the Gulfport public beach (5 minute walk) or St Pete Beach (15 minutes by car).

The water at our beach stays shallow for at least 100 feet so you may look at sea life. There is ample shade. Also great for fishing, as is the public pier next door to the house. Please wear water shoes as there are sharp shells that wash up and rocks and a bed of oysters to left as you look out to water.

The Neighborhood:
Gulfport is an eclectic little town with big personality. There are many great restaurants, shops, Art Walks with vendors and live music in the evening each First Friday and Third Saturday, and Fresh Market on Tuesdays during the day.

10-12 minutes from St. Pete Beach or the now chic downtown St. Petersburg. 25 minutes from Tampa International airport.

Getting Around:
Everything is walking distance - Gulfport Trolley will take you around the town if you wish and connect to main bus system.

Please see the Guidebook on upper right hand corner of listing or click Maps tab next to Photos - it has a great overview of our location and fun things to do nearby. Also, shows the grocery store Publix.

Other Things to Note:
There is no direct water view from apt. - This space overlooks expansive park to West- see photos. There is another 1BR apt. in rear, available on Airbnb. For larger parties, the spaces can be rented together to sleep a total of 8 in beds.


Because the Boca Ciega Bay is vibrant with sea life, seaweed washes up on the beach. We rake and groom the beach every week but things do wash up with each tide, including, sadly, plastic bottles, etc.

There is no smoking inside or outside - our property is smoke free. No open flames such as candles or burning incense
