We loved staying in the
Gulfport area! This house was in the perfect location and within walking distance of lots of great restaurants, shops and even pickleball courts if you are so inclined! We also enjoyed the bikes and the ride through Clam Bayou Nature Preserve!

Our stay was everything we could have asked for, and more. The property was beautiful and spacious. The owner’s attention to detail was awesome. We loved the little courtyard where we could enjoy our breakfast each morning, and enjoyed the refreshing pool. We are planning to retire to FL within the next year, and Gulfport is on our short list. Such a beautiful little town, with just a laid-back, old Florida, artsy, beach vibe. We loved O’Maddy’s, Gulfport Brewery, and all the options for live music. We will definitely stay again when in the area, and have already recommended this property to friends. Only bad part was leaving.

Photos do not do this lovely property justice. It's fantastic and comfortable and way better than the amazing photos look. The management and staff are also responsive and friendly. We did not want to leave, and we will return.

My boyfriend and I chose to stay here for our vacation this summer and had an amazing time! We were able to bring our dog which was a huge bonus! Jimmy was super responsive to any of our questions. The pool was so relaxing and the shops and restaurants of Gulfport are 2 blocks away so convenient! We’ve already talked about staying here again!

We absolutely loved everything about this adorable Art Deco home located in charming Gulfport, FL. The interior design is stunning with custom artwork and deco murals throughout. The private patio and pool area was serene and relaxing. The house had all the amenities you need for your stay and was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The host was accomodating and check-in was smooth. We would love to rent this home again. Thank you!

House was even more amazing than displayed on the photos - there were so many nice details inside und outside the house. It‘s well equipped and the pool and the breakfast area outside were quite nice.
Check-in and out was very easy and we always had personal guidance via WhatsApp by the owner. We loved to stay there for 2 nights during our road-trip alongside Florida!

Family of four stayed in this duplex quite comfortably. Parents in upstairs room and two kids shared downstairs bed. Little inconvenient to have only the single small bathroom upstairs, but the apartment was very clean and well stocked. Anything I thought of was readily available and our host Jimmy was superb! We loved the proximity to the beach, Gulfport shops and restaurants and the cute neighborhood. The bikes were a fun way to get around but walking was just as easy. The pool was a nice addition too.

We rented both sides of this property and each was charming and interesting in their different styles and decor but both incredibly comfortable and functional. Honestly, we spent most of our time in the back at the pool. There's always sun or shade if you want and the whole experience was delightful. We hope to return again!

We spent a wonderful two months in this beautifully restored and maintained home. The location is ideal- walking everywhere in the delightful little town of Gulfport and close to a beautiful trail to bike to downtown St. Petersburg. And having a pool at an “in-town” Gulfport home is a treat that should never be underestimated. Jimmy was great to deal with—easy going and responsive— and we can’t wait to come back!

Can’t change the weather but in spite of it, our place was warm, dry and cozy. The unit was clean, adorable, decorated lovely, bedding so comfortable, two easy walkable blocks to town and beach, and had literally everything you need to enjoy a stay. Would definitely stay again if I ever traveled to Gulfport again.
