Birthday Bash

My friends and I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this location. It had the elegance, space and personality that we were seeking. The house was exceedingly clean, offered several amenities that made it perfect to host a gathering before heading for dinner or to the beach. I received quick responses and detail before arriving. We all highly suggest considering this location for your next visit to the coast!

Gulfport

Super cute house in a great location. It is a short walk to the beach and close to several great restaurants and surrounding towns along the shore. The hosts were wonderful with communicating and were always prompt in responding to my inquiries. They also provided several restaurant recommendations that were immensely helpful and spot on. The house itself is in a very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. All of the appliances were new and we really appreciated having a full size washer and dryer. They even provided the laundry detergent and fabric softener sheets. The beds were very comfortable and the house was immaculate. We will definitely stay here again if we are ever in the Gulfport/Biloxi area another time.

Lovely and convenient

We were in Gulfport for a family event. This house worked out perfectly! It was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. The primary bath has a huge walk in shower with great water pressure and a large counter area. It is a very short walk to the beach. Any appliance or supply you would need was provided. Check in and out was easy and the hosts were in contact frequently to confirm everything was perfect. We will definitely rent again next time we are in the area.

Relaxing stay

My family and I had had a great time and loved the house! They only thing that was kind of a let down was, there really isn’t much to do in that area. Our over all stay was great. Love that the house provides you with beach equipment.

Great house.. close to beach, clean, safe and wonderful hostess. We had no problems at all. She was very attentive and had everything we needed. We will definately be back! Gulfport was so surprising too…the white sands, the beaches weren’t crowded.. plenty to do! Definitely the first of many visits for us!

New Gulfport review

The house was nice, but we thought it was brand new. I understand it was built in 2019. There were some things that cleaning and maintenance did not make the owner aware of that needed attention like loose bathroom towel bars, and not enough wash cloths (there were 3), only 4 hangers between 2 closets. We found the bench by the dining table uncomfortable and one of the chair legs was loose. The house was nice, but it did need a little attention.
