The group house: sleeps 14, plays like an arcade, 8 minutes from the sand. Built for family reunions, friend groups and holiday gatherings, this large Gulfport home centers on a game room with a full-size pool table, ping-pong, foosball, Galactica arcade games and a 65-inch Roku TV. Cornhole, board games and five smart TVs mean nobody is ever waiting for something to do.





Outside, the huge fenced backyard does the relaxing: patio dining for six, lounge chairs, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit ringed with chairs for the evening. A screened front porch with rocking chairs handles the quiet mornings, and a beach wagon stocked with beach essentials handles the shore, about an 8-minute walk away.





Sleeping arrangements: Two bedrooms with king beds, each with a smart TV and private sitting area. One bedroom with bunk beds (full on the bottom, twin on top). One bedroom with two full beds. Living room with a pullout sofa bed and a futon. 3 bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and grab bar.





Group-ready details: a fully equipped kitchen and a dining table big enough to seat everyone together; a laundry room with full-size washer and dryer; free WiFi; and ample parking, including room for trailers and car haulers. Weekly and monthly discounts are available, and the home is pet- and child-friendly.





Close by: Beach - 8-minute walk. Casino—about 3 minutes by car. Downtown Gulfport—about 4 minutes. Jones Park—about 5 minutes. Gulfport Premium Outlets—about 12 minutes.





Good to know: You have the whole house except the separate garage and supply room, which stay locked; self check-in instructions are messaged on arrival day. The charcoal grill needs your own charcoal, and the fire pit your own firewood. The house sits next to the train tracks and a crossing—normal for Gulfport this close to the beach, and worth knowing before you book.
