About this property
Perfect Cottage In Art District of Gulfport
This beautiful cottage was completely renovated with comfort and relaxation in mind. It is located in the Art District in Gulfport Florida which is within the Waterfront District. This 360 square foot cottage is the second cottage of three located on the Wishing Well property. It has an amazing kitchen with everything you need to cook or entertain friends. There is a large bathroom with a walk-in shower with a rain head! The bedroom has a new queen bed that is very comfortable. The living room has a leather futon perfect for guests. There is a large flat-screen TV in the living room with a DVD player. There is a smaller flat-screen TV in the bedroom.
**Please note that the cottage is perfect for a couple or a family with one or two younger children. It could be a bit tight for four adults, especially as the bathroom is accessed through the bedroom.
All of the shops, restaurants and Gulfport's beach are within a short walk of this cottage. This cottage has a lovely front porch for enjoying the Key West style atmosphere. We have a couple of bicycles at the property for guests to use to ride around town. There is also a large courtyard with a gazebo and gas grille for the enjoyment of guests.
All of Gulfport is within walking or biking distance of the cottage. St. Petersburg with its museums and shopping is just a short 7 minute car ride. Ft. Desoto Park is a 20 minute car ride.
This is a beautiful place in a great little beach town. Come once you will be back again and again. This is the kind of town you only tell your good friends about, lest it get spoiled. Come visit a real Florida beach town...

What makes this property unique
Gulfport is a small city on the west coast of Florida with a wonderful 'Old Florida' feel. Take in a baseball game, deep-sea fishing, sailing, or see the many art galleries, museums, and shopping in neighboring St Pete. Make sure you visit Ft. Desoto Park. It is a 350 acre park on the beach. It has been voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the U.S. and is truly magical at sunrise and sunset. The park is just a short drive from Gulfport.
