Gulfport getaway

We booked this as it was close to our home while it was being refurnished due to the hurricanes. The location is absolutely fantastic! We came with our pups and they had the BEST time the one afternoon me and my partner sat on the deck chairs and watched our pups run after one another in the water and through the trees on the beach. It really was magical waking up each morning and seeing the fog on the water and the beautiful sunsets on the evening. The dogs were so happy, they even had an outdoor shower with doggy shampoo to wash them down with afterwards! Very thoughtful. Our unit was beach themed and quaint complete with roku and internet and full kitchen etc. The house is next to the veterans park which we walked through each morning and the restaurants and cafes were so close everything is within walking distance. My partner just said it was like a little slice of paradise ! 100% recommend.

Owners sent a message that thier would be a code, no code, key under mat. So unsafe! The locks are old would advise not to leave anything of important in house. Single woman with dog but was not advised a man lived there too with his dog and would be coming out and staring at you. He can look in your back windows. Probably has a key. Bed sheet and quilt were so thin and cheap and bed uncomfortable. The shower was inside a large tub that you need srairs to get into. If you want to fish or swim not there because there is a sand bar. Better to go to a actual beach and walk to the pier. No communication with owners for hours about code/key. Terrible.

Quaint and rustic gem

We had a great time with our pup at this place! He was able to play in the water at the small beach behind the property a little bit when the tide was up. There is also a huge backyard! The stairs entering the unit are a bit steep so not a great stay for older dogs, but other than that, we loved the location! The shower/tub is unique but also could be a bit difficult for folks that don’t stretch and bend like they used to. Would stay again!

Fireworks Extravaganza

This property is exactly what we expected. We stayed here because the fireworks were being displayed right off the shoreline. The view was amazing and everything we wanted. The only thing I would want vacationers to know is that the property is not actually "beachfront" but rather "bay" front. It is on Bocca Ceiga Bay. If you're not concerned with that you should really enjoy your stay.

Good location. Unit unconventional, needs work.

Nice location. Unit is next to a small park, at the waterfront and at the edge of the town. Short drive to St. Petersburg. Entrance is at rear of the building. Backyard is a long narrow lot leading to a small beach on the bay. Beach is maybe 100 yards from the unit. Yard gives overgrown appearance. Steps up to unit feature a rickety hand rail. Screen door just flaps. Inside the floor is well worn unfinished wood strips with some gaps. Some slats are misssing from narrow venetian blinds making privacy an issue.. [My wife or daughters would not have stayed here because of lack of privacy.] No door to bedroom making it open to the rest of the living area. Unique features include a large soaking tub with a great shower at the center of the unit separated from the main living area only by a shower curtain. Also, the TV sits on a rectangular cut out of the wall so that it can be viewed from the living area and turned around to be watched from the bedroom.

eclectic space

nice and cozy eclectic property out of the 1920's look and feel. needs new blinds in the front windows as they were all broken in some fashion. we had a nice stay with great local restarants and shops very close. Beach was small and messy with some kind of algae but it was too cold to swim anyway but it was still nice to sit by the water and listen to the local band at a nearby place. GREAT backyard for a dog!

Clean and quiet

We really enjoyed our stay. It was on the water, which my wife loved. Several times we walked to the park and once we walked out to eat locally. The property seems out of the way, down side streets, but we weren’t really that far from anything. The property was very clean and the property manager responded very well to all of our questions.

Great location

Perfect location within walking distance to the Gulfport restaurants, shops and park. We were visiting family close by, so we only used the house to shower and sleep, which was acceptable for our needs. The courtyard needs some work as the grass and weeds were too high making access to the outdoor furniture difficult.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa McVicker

We celebrated one year with our property in vacation rental in March 2015, and we are excited to offer our our little slice of paradise to travelers. While our photo shows my husband, myself and my son, I, Lisa, am the one handling the details of your visit. My background is in film & TV and I work as a consultant, coach and producer to assist people in amplifying their prosperity by using media on the web. My husband is a metal artist (you can see his public art pieces in Gulfport - the Pelicans at Gulfport Beach behind the Casino and the Arch at the Art Village).

I am a 5 Rhythms dancer and I also enjoy practicing yoga at Yoga Moves in St. Petersburg.

Why they chose this property

I had been in the house several years before I discovered it was on the market in 1999 - I put in a full price offer without ever even looking at it again! I have felt such a deep sense of peace, fun and possibility on this property. On the edge of the quaint town of Gulfport, it truly is paradise! Yes, it's quirky and eclectic, and it is fabulous and comfortable, and, well, paradise...

What makes this property unique

Uh, the secluded sanctuary of a private beach steps from fantastic restaurants, live music, festivals and fun!
