About this property

Gorgeous 2 story Gulfport original Sears home

This house is truly special, it has been completely renovated with a gorgeous upstairs master suite with a queen sized bed and private bath. There are two bedrooms downstairs and a full sized bath. One of the downstairs bedrooms has a queen sized bed and the other bedroom has a twin sized bed. The kitchen has been updated to provide plenty of storage and counter space and has hardwood floors throughout. It is a comfortable beach house, with a white picket fence and lovely yard complete with gas grill and bikes! A great location for an "Old Florida" vacation.

Family matters

A Few Notes
We loved the property - perfect for what we needed! The one main “issue” we had was parking. Being familiar with Gulfport, we completely understand how busy it gets. But most evenings, if we left with our car, by the time we got back there was no parking left. People from the bars, etc took them. Not sure how that can be resolved. The only other item is that we did see a couple of roaches downstairs. Thank you for sharing your space!!!

Perfect house for a family and close to beach
When we checked in we had no idea about the area. The locals were so friendly and showed us around and gave us great ideas on where to eat. We were in walking distance of the beach and pretty much everything. The house had everything and more! The upstairs was our favorite area. We got to have our own bathroom and the kids got the downstairs. Definitely a must for vacation. Definitely would stay again!

1 block from the main street in gylfport was fantastic.
It's an older place but you can't beat the lication.The 3rd room was said to have a twin bed but in reality was a day bed which is hard for an adult to sleep on and was not made up as a bed.The owner was very flexible at checkout since we had a late flight which was fantastic. The full size beds were very comfortable. Very nice being near all the restaurants. The outdoor area wasn't set up to sit outside.a gazebo with no coverings unfortunately a friend was looking for an item she had lost behind the day bed and found a couple of used items that shouldn't have been there from a previous occupant.
