Wonderful Home

This home was perfect for our family. We loved having slow mornings and enjoying the pool and spending our evenings at the beach in St. Pete. The short walk to Gulfport to enjoy food, ice cream, or spending time was on pier was a bonus. We hope to return for our next beach vacation!

Another wonderful stay in Gulfport

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my 3rd year at the Blue Hen. It feels like home!! Perfect walking distance to everything. Restaurants are great, beach is beautiful, shopping is good. The house has everything you need except at my age I would love to have a pool railing. But the pool is great for early morning reading and evening swims with family. Thank you

A sweet cottage in a great location

The house was spacious, well appointed with lots of sitting and living space. We loved that it was a very short walk to the town and an easy drive to St Pete and the beach. We couldn't ask for more

Great Family Vacation Spot

The property was great for our family vacation. With it being deep in summer the pool made it even better especially for our grandsons. It was a very nice & quiet neighbor hood, nice parking room, plenty of household items to keep up after yourselves, & a short walking distance to Gulfport beach. The beach has a park and local shops & bars as well. This is our 2nd year in a row to this area (one block apart).

Blue Hen Bungalow

Beautiful place to stay! We loved that we could walk to all the bars/restaurants/ coffee shops in Gulf Port. House was clean … pool was perfect. We usually try to stay in different places each vacation but it’s hard to not come back here next year ! Will definitely stay here again in the near future!

I love the location, the people in this small town are wonderful, the house and pool are great. The beautiful white beaches of the Gulf are close and so many places to sightsee. But this quiet, beautiful little town and wonderful restaurants is perfect. I’m coming back next year.

Great Location, Pool, & Layout

Overall this is a great place to stay for families or two couples. The house is a short walk to many of the shops, restaurants and bars in Gulfport. The pool is great and the layout of the house, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, makes it easy for two couples to share or easily a family of six using the sleeper sofa in the front porch area. The decor was fun and very tasteful, and the kitchen area provides enough room to easily cook for a family. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, making it a wonderfully restful retreat.

Two weeks in paradise!!

Loved (almost) everything about our star at the Blue Hen bungalow. The location couldn’t be beat close to everything.. restaurants, music and the beach! Place was roomy, immaculate, fully stocked kitchen, lovely back yard to relax in. Only wish I knew the pool wasn’t heated.

Cute and Quaint Cottage Close to the Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a very cute little old-fashioned cottage in a great location. PROS: It was very clean and had great decor (very homey & cozy, soft lighting). The kitchenware was very good as well (silverware/knives & bakeware (but needs liquid measuring cups!)). It was so close to nice shops and the beach, just a short 2-5 min walk. It was next to a small auto-body shop but surprisingly there was hardly any noise coming from there at all. The pool was great and had lots of floats for the kids to play with. CONS: One of the toilets leaked from the bottom (not fun to find out walking around w/o shoes), but they did get a plumber over the next day and it was fixed with no further issues). Needed more blankets! (only 2 blankets for the house (other than the thin bedspreads) so i gave the kids the blankets and used towels on the bed at night). Needs hand soap pumps (it just had cheap bar soap at every sink, so i bought some cheap plastic hand soap pumps). Needs better lighting in the kitchen (couldn't see what you were doing over sink or stove). As with most rentals, it could benefit from plastic food storage bags and close pins to close food in bags.Overall, though, it was a cute little house that we enjoyed staying in!

Perfect house and pool

We absolutely loved our house. The space was clean and cute and beachy. It felt relaxed and casual, but still very nice. I think maybe tranquil is the right way to describe it. The pool was really just the best. We were in it, or by it pretty much all day. And we were so happy with the location. All the Gulfport shops and coffee shops, and restaurants were less than a block away - we walked everywhere! Every one of us would go back in a heartbeat.

Perfect Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such an amazing time staying at this house. Gulfport was a quiet artsy town. The house is on the main road that leads to the beach and there are little unique shops and restaurants on both sides of the street along the way. The house was perfect for our family of 4. It was updated and had everything we needed. We spent most days in the pool, which was amazing! The kids loved the rafts. And when we decided to venture out, St. Pete Beach was only a 10 minute drive. We will definitely look into booking this house again!
