Living Spaces

You won’t believe how spacious this home feels! Two separate living spaces offer plenty of room for everyone to spread out.

The main living area is open to the kitchen and features comfy couches to sink into as you enjoy the AC after a hot day in the Florida sun. From the couch, you’ll have a great view of the pool area, so you won’t have to miss any of the action even when you’re inside. There is also a work space (and WiFi) if you need to check in while you’re away.

The second living space is perfect for when you need a little time for yourself (or to tuck the kids away). With an incredibly large flatscreen TV and comfy seating, it's the perfect place to watch a favorite movie or show.

Kitchen and Dining

Try out some fun new recipes in the fully-stocked kitchen, with its vibrant colors and funky decor. There is plenty of counter space for meal prep, and a peek-through wall opening with a counter to make serving drinks easy. Steps from the kitchen is the dining table with seating for six.

Bedrooms and Baths

The split floor plan makes it easy to find privacy from others in your group. On one side of the house, you’ll find two bedrooms and one hall bathroom for them to share. On the other side of the house is the third bedroom, with the second bathroom nearby (through the second living area). Two of the 3 bedrooms have their own flatscreen TV so late-night show watchers will be all set.

Outdoor Amenities
The huge backyard is a gem! You won’t need to leave to feel like you’re on vacation. Let the kids and dogs run around the large grassy yard while you sunbathe on a lounge chair by the pool. It’s completely private, with plenty of vegetation and a privacy fence separating you from the neighbors. And if you’re not into the sun, there is a ton of shade on the covered patio, complete with ceiling fans to keep you cool. Whether you’re reading a book on a lounge chair or dining al fresco at the four-seater dining table with string lights providing the ambiance, the covered patio makes indoor-outdoor living simple for everyone in your party.

Around the Area

Gulfport has been called a lot of things, but boring isn’t one of them! It has been referred to, in no particular order, funky, eclectic, artsy, charming, progressive, welcoming, warm, and even weird. It proudly accepts all of it!

The downtown is small, but exceptionally welcoming. You won’t find any chain stores, or parking meters, but you will find beautiful old oak trees dripping in Spanish moss. And you will definitely find small-town friendliness and warmth.

Beach and Shore Boulevards are at the heart and soul of our historic downtown area and are directly situated on scenic Boca Ciega Bay.
Those downtown shops are all independently owned and operated and feature works of local artists and artisans, as well as clothes, books, gifts, home decor, and more.

A concentration of more than a dozen restaurants in the village has made Gulfport a premier dining destination. You can find anything from a burger to fine dining.

Visit the nearby Pinellas beaches in Pass-A-Grille, St. Pete Beach, and Treasure Island for a fun beach day. Our home is also only a few blocks away from Tomlinson Park and the Gulfport Spur to the Pinellas Trail.

Things to Note

Pet Friendly (with fee). No cats please. No smoking/vaping. No parties or events. The yard is fenced, and there are audible alarms on all windows and doors leading out to the backyard and pool area. However, there is no additional fencing between the house and pool. Ring video doorbell onsite.

Reservations require the completion of a signed rental agreement including your credit card details. You are entering into an agreement with Splashy Ventures/Gulfport Florida and Splashy is the merchant of record for rent, taxes and fees.

Love the house and location
The house is adorable, and Gulfport is a great location. We were close to downtown St. Pete for city sightseeing, and also near the beach. The saltwater pool is wonderful. This is a great house for a girls trip or family. I would definitely book again.

Back to college.
Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Location is quiet and we felt safe. It was also a great centrally located place between Eckerd College and the beaches/shopping areas. The pool was fabulous as was the backyard and patio area. Ceiling fans on the patio made it possible use the patio even when the heat and humidity were high. We would definitely stay here again. Excellent communication with the owners.

Central to so many great places including Indian Rocks, Treasure Island, and our personal favorite De Soto State Park. Neighborhood is quiet, house is great for a family, and the back yard provides the perfect escape for a break from the beaches.

Such a gem!
This property has been remodeled so even though it looks quaint on the outside the inside is absolutely perfect. Just like the pictures online 100%. Also has he pool was perfect and it was a little dirty from just sitting not being used the pool guys came the same evening we arrived so it was perfect. I had great communication with the property owner and she helped me more than she probably realized. Thank you so much for a wonderful work trip to St. Petersburg!

Quiet location
This is an older but updated spacious bungalow. Very clean. Ample supplies in the kitchen, including vast selection of spices and staples. Even had a small jug of pure maple syrup and a box of pancake mix! Nice pool, very quiet neighborhood but still very close to the 3 grocery stores on Pasadena Blvd. only takes 10 minutes to get to downtown St Pete using the one-way 1st Ave South. The only downside to our visit was that the agent was half-way around the world at the time (New Zealand) so it took awhile for her to respond to my requests for assistance. We also had a minor disagreement about what water temperature defines a “heated” pool. Other than that, we enjoyed a very relaxing 1 week vacation at this property.

The house is clean and in a great neighborhood. Close to restaurants, shopping, and beach. The house is spacious, perfect floor plan, comfortable beds, and fully stocked home. The backyard is large fully fenced in, great patio area, and the pool is well maintained. This is a great vacation home and I will definitely book again.

Super Staycation
We just got back from a 5 day stay and it was wonderful. We live closeby but we wanted to get away from home before our kids (teens) go back to school. The home is setup perfectly for families. The bedrooms are split with two on one side with a bath and another on the other side of the living room, with it's own bath and TV room. There is a view from the kitchen thru the living room and onto the pool, so you can keep an eye on swimmers easily. The pool and fountain were perfect, so relaxing. Beyond the pool the yard is very tropical, and nightly the fragrant huge gardina bush smelled heavenly. Several plumeria are starting to bloom. Our dog loved the jungle like yard, and chasing the lizards. Super quiet location with everything you could possibly need onsite. Our host Beth was very responsive and addressed all of our questions in a friendly manner. We would recommend this home to our friends and family, and we are already considering our next stay.

Great pool house close to everything!
We booked this property last minute over Fathers Day weekend. Great atmosphere to just hang out in the pool with family and friends. Gulfport is a charming town and you are also very close to Passé Grille, our favorite place to watch the sunset!

Gulfport fun in the sun
We loved our stay at this Gulfport ranch with our grandkids (3-12). The heated pool was a perfect for relaxing with the kids before or after our adventures to nearby St Pete’s beach, Tampa Acquarium or Busch Gardens. The Florida Ranch was perfect for 3 adults and 3kids. We had a room and bath in the back while mom and the kids shared 2 rooms and bath in the front. It was a perfect arrangement. We would definitely stay there again!

Great house in a quiet neighborhood, close to all the beaches
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: Found this gem, while looking for a pre-spring break rush vacation. The pictures do not do disappoint. Spacious living and Tv room with own personal pool and lounge chairs provided ample room for my group of five. One minor problem was taken care of by management within half a day. Very close and easily accessible to grocery shopping, beaches and to St. Pete's airport. Felt very safe in the area and Gulfport is a nice town. Also there was plenty of communication before and during the stay to find out location, pool maintenance etc.
