Another great Blue Bayou stay
Another great Blue Bayou stay at Beach Relaxmore! The cottage had everything we needed and more, from comfy furniture, to a fully-stocked kitchen, to the beautiful Boca Ciega Bay view. Downtown Gulfport (Beach Blvd) is a short stroll away, with lots of restaurants and live music almost every night. Kelly and Keith are the best hosts — great about checking in and very responsive. Gulfport is such a friendly and welcoming place — highly recommend!

AWESOME!
Kelly and Keith were amazing hosts. Booking and communication, prior to our trip, was excellent. We needed to shorten our stay by a day, and money was quickly refunded. When we pulled up to Blue Bayou, we were impressed. There is an easy access key pad to enter the cottage, off the relaxing deck. Once inside, everything was clean and decorated with an adorable nautical theme. There was an information binder, a gift bag on the bed, matching towels, beach towels, beach chairs, amentities in the bathroom, goodies to eat on the counter, and waters in the fridge. Out back is a comforting, gathering sitting area with a grill. The location is incredible...beach across the street, within walking distance are restuarants and shopping. The people are friendly, and for us, loved how dog friendly this town is. We attended a wedding nearby, and found Gulfport by chance! boy are we glad we did! Thank you Kelly and Keith for making your home so welcoming! Maria - PA

Great Place
The Blue Bayou was a great place to stay in Gulfport. The home is just as it appears in the pictures and it was very clean. It is walking distance to restaurants and shops and is across the street from the beach area. Our host, Kelly, made check in super easy and texted us to ensure we were enjoying ourselves and that everything was going smoothly. The kitchen is fully stocked. It is one of the most well stocked kitchens of any rental we have stayed in (we travel often). There were K Cups and regular coffee on hand, which is always appreciated.. Any pot, pan, container, or utensil you could need is available. They even provided beach towels, beach chairs, an umbrella, and a small soft sided cooler. It is a quick drive to any of the bigger beaches or tourist areas. The coin operated laundry, which they are upfront about, is a strange situation. It was odd to need $4 in quarters to be able to throw in a load of clothes. If you are a larger group or staying longer, make sure you have some quarters with you. There are plenty of kitchen and bath towels provided, so you don't need to worry about running out! The home is in a great neighborhood - we walked all over at all times of the day and night. Everyone is very friendly. Kelly was a great host and I highly recommend staying at one of her properties. She shared great information about the community, restaurants, and shops which made our stay more fun.

Nice time with family!
Thank you Kelly for making our stay very comfortable and enjoyable! The shared patio was wonderful for spending time with our extended family who stayed on the other two units. It was close to downtown, bars and restaurants, shopping, and the beach. Kelly was very accommodating and easy to work with! We look forward to staying again.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly and Keith Elias

Host profile image
Beachrelaxmore got it's start in 2016 when we purchased and renovated this property. We love the location which is close to everything and in a relaxed beach atmosphere. Word of mouth and guest recommendations has made our new venture boom! We sold our home in Nashville, Tennessee, but plan to head back and be close to family again. Of course we are going to enjoy both Gulfport and Nashville. Kelly loves to decorate and loves country music and even had fun working as a background extra on the TV show "Nashville" and music videos. She also loves to decorate. Keith went to school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Keith plays saxaphone and works IT. We are lucky enough to have 3 cottages here in Gulfport to enjoy. We hope you will enjoy your stay if you pick one of them!

Why they chose this property

This location was the perfect place for sun, sand, restaurants, fresh markets, theater and so close to everything, but out of the crowds and traffic of the big city.

What makes this property unique

You'll love the front deck with porch-swing and the amazing views. Great friendly neighbors and dog friendly. Walking distance to all the fun and excitement!
