Location, location, location and History

The cottage is charming and has a very interesting Gulfport history. It is a quintessential old time Florida beach house that is well furnished. The sofas and beds are very comfortable. The location is the best. It's perfect for enjoying the music culture of Gulfport or just walking around town. The beach is close and the pier is at the end of the street. There is a nice sized table in the back yard for enjoying outdoor meals or playing games. Communication with the owner was fast, friendly and informative. Definitely recommend.

Short stay in Gulfport

We were in town to visit Eckherd College. The location of this property was fantastic. We could walk to restaurants and the waterfront. The house also had everything we needed for visiting nearby Ft Desoto (Sunscreen, sun hats, beach towels, etc)

Historical home in a quirky small town.

Overall we had a good stay here. It was nice to be able to walk to so much (beach, local restaurants and shops) and the beds in the home were quite comfortable. The home was built in 1923 and you can tell. While there have been some updates and things done to make the home look nice, other items could use some care. Both the front and back doors don't have a proper seal, allowing small bugs to get inside; the toilet isn't bolted to the ground; the shower head, bathroom vent, and ceiling fans haven't been cleaned in ages; and the bathroom door couldn't close and had obvious damage. All of that being said, the home is in a good location in Gulfport and great if you're looking for a small town feel stay.

Fantastic stay

We all loved our stay at this quirky cottage in the gorgeous little town of gulfport. Fantastic location, very short walk (a minute) from the beach/town centre. This lovely well equipped, immaculate cottage had heaps of character, felt very homely and was the perfect location to enjoy all this hidden gem of a town had to offer. After 2 weeks spent in busy Orlando we couldn't have found a more ideal property/town to unwind in. Highly recommend.

Great location

This house is lovely! A short walk to the pier, shops and beach (within a few blocks). Gulfport is such a great little town and this house was in a wonderful location!! The property owners even leave beach towels and chairs for you to use. St. Pete Beach is about a 20 minute drive away for a bigger, more touristy type of vibe. We loved this place and hope to return! The only thing I would suggest is maybe a curtain closure for the back bedroom and/or curtains over the bamboo blinds, but that's the city gal in me wanting to fully close up shop at night.

Lovely home in Gulfport

We had a wonderful stay in Gulfport. The home was very clean and exactly as described with items needed for an extended stay. It was decorated so nicely with beautiful art in every room. It was in the best location to walk to the water, to walk a block over to shops and a variety of restaurants, and just to enjoy the overall charm of Gulfport. The owner was pleasant to deal with and quick to respond to any requests. We definitely plan to come back!

Comfortable home in perfect location

Stayed for two weeks with our dog. We love Gulfport. So walkable and friendly. The house is very comfortable and Melissa is a great host. We enjoyed many local restaurants and outdoor bars, a dolphin watching pontoon ride by Salty Pelican and our dog loved the area dog beaches and the fenced backyard

I don't want to leave!

What a great Bungalow! Very convenient to everything we needed and a short lyft ride into St. Pete. We slept great, even through a hurricane. My only disappointment was that the red bike had a hole in the back tire, it was giving off great 'Pee-wee Big Adventure' vibes. The blue bike worked great. We hope to stay here again, next time we are in the area. Thank you for this experience.

This is a delightful bungalow, with some history, outlined in a series of old photos on the wall. Melissa was an attentive hostess. The place was nicely appointed and functional without doing anything, The location was very convenient and Gulfport is a wonderful small community. I hope to return here in years to come.

Perfect for our short trip

We had only a short stay in the area but Melissa’s home was a perfect spot to retreat to and to launch off on our explorations. Her neighborhood is very sweet and a block to a strip of eateries, cafés and live music. Lots to do in a short driving distance. The bungalow was very clean and comfortable and Melissa is very clear and quick with communication.

Very pleasant stay

Melissa was great with responding to my questions. The property was so lovely on both the outside and inside. The inside was very spacious for my family. Great location and easy to get to basically anywhere we wanted. The walking distance to some really nice shops and restaurants was a great perk!The house was clean. Was provided with alot of things I didn't need to worry about. The ability to use a washer at home was a blessing. I will definitely stay here again!

Great location!

This house was perfect for our vacation, beaches, and eating good food:) There was an odd smell in one of the bedrooms and that meant and unpleasant way to end the night. And zero laundry supplies, had to make another trip to the store. Plumbing could use some attention. But our stay was great! We loved Gulfport so much my daughter asked if we could move there!!
