Beach view cottage, 700 ft to the beach and 5 minute drive to downtown!

View beach & gulf from deck. Lovely spacious cottage with towering live oaks in the much desired area of Second Street, only a few minutes walk to white sand beaches and close to casinos, fishing & sailing, restaurants, aquarium, harbor, park with tennis courts, & more. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage is quiet & comfortable, with a wrap-around deck for cooking out & entertaining. A private deck & fenced backyard is provided for peaceful evenings with a glass of wine or morning coffee.

This coastal cottage is one block from the beach & gulf waters. uniquely decorated with original & antique pieces — featuring an upscale beach style mixed with eclectic & beautiful one of a kind pieces. The open-concept-style living room, dining room, and kitchen has several floor-to-ceiling windows filling the space with bright, natural light. The comfortable and spacious living room has an electric fireplace, as well as, a queen-size sleeper sofa. The kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and granite counters, is fully-equipped with everything you need to feel at home, away from home, and the dining room table seats four, with additional seating for four people at the kitchen island.

There are 3 private bedrooms and 2 full baths, and the home can accommodate up to 8 guests, with 5 beds. The bedrooms are relaxing and well-appointed, with high-quality linens and plenty of closet space. One bedroom also has a desk for those in need of a workspace. There are 2 large flat-screen smart TVs with 100+ channels (lots of sports!), plus Apple TV & other streaming devices. Unlimited wifi, with access to high-speed gigabit service, is available throughout the home & even in some of the outdoor living spaces. This captivating home also has a bonus sunroom room with an indoor hammock swing!! A washer & dryer is available for your convenience, as well. Numerous amenities are provided for your comfort such as: coffee, tea, sugar & cream, bottled water, snack items, spices, plenty of paper products, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, travel toiletries, hand sanitizer, and extra sheets and blankets. And for excursions to the beach, there are beach chairs, beach towels, beach toys & a wagon.

The home has lots to offer outdoors, as well as indoors, so don’t forget to spend some of your time there, too. The front and backyard are both beautifully landscaped. There is an extra large wrap-around deck along the front and side of the house, with a shaded, outdoor seating area and another area with chaise lounge chairs for those who want to lay out in the sun and work on a tan. If you like to entertain, there is a Weber propane grill with an outdoor dining table & chairs nearby for enjoying an afternoon grilling and enjoying the outdoors. The fenced backyard provides another wonderful, relaxing escape with plenty of outdoor seating and an umbrella for some shade during our hot, summer days.

When not relaxing & enjoying the comforts of this home away from home, the Mississippi Gulf Coast has lots of activities and places to visit during your stay. Besides spending a fun day at the beach, the house is also located close to casinos, the Mississippi Aquarium, downtown Gulfport’s well-known restaurants & Fishbone Alley, and Jones Park & Gulfport Harbor with picnic areas, a splash pad, a Farmers Market (seasonal), and movie nights in the Summer. At the harbor, you can also take a trip to the barrier islands, part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, on the Ship Island Excursion boat. Additional attractions to explore in the area are the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art, the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, and the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies (IMMS), where you can swim with dolphins & stingrays. Gulfport is also situated right between New Orleans and Mobile. Day trips to either city are just a quick drive away on the interstate, west or east, of about 1 hour.

Finally, some additional notes about the property, there are security lights with red switches for the front door & the deck/parking areas. For anyone unfamiliar with the area, due to the fact that Gulfport is a port city, train tracks are located just north of the beach. Please be aware that at nearly every property near the beach, you will hear the train during your stay. The majority of people become accustomed to it quickly and are not bothered by it; nevertheless, we provide earplugs for our guests during each stay. Lastly, the outdoor spaces of the property are home to quite a few tiny & adorable little tree frogs; they are harmless, so please be kind!!

Great house
We really enjoyed our stay at your house. The property was conveniently located and easy walk to the beach. The house was squeaky clean and very comfortable on a quiet street. We will definitely stay there again when we are in Gulfport.

Very convenient
This property was very convenient to everything. We were there for cruising the coast and was a 2 block walk to main area where cars ride up and down road and also convenient to Cruise Central. Was quiet neighborhood except for train tracks nearby but host had left ear plugs and that was a nice touch. Also left breakfast bars that was very appreciated. Thanks for letting us stay at your charming home.

Barry's Surprise
This was our second stay here and we enjoyed it as much as we did the first time. The home is precious and inviting. It is well stocked with items you wouldn't even think of! My only complaint would be that dang train that rolls through in the middle of the night :( But they do provide earplugs for you!!

Gulfport aquarium camp
Perfect location to drop off the kids at the aquarium for camp. Easy walk to the beach to enjoy the sun and sand. Many attractions and easy to find food in the area. The kitchen was stocked with snacks and coffee. Plenty of dinnerware and pots and pans. Games and books for our enjoyment were available also.

Felt just like home!
I took my family to visit my son stationed at Kessler AFB. I would pick my son up everyday and come back to the cottage where we would all have a home cooked meal together. Even though the cottage was rented for a short time, it felt like home for my briefly reunited family! I would definitely recommend to anyone else visiting a loved one stationed at Kessler AFB.

Great time in Gulfport
This beach house was perfect for our group of 7. With three young children, hotel rooms get small very fast - it was nice to have space to hang out but also get separation when needed. This home was clean, beautifully decorated, close to everything and overall lovely! The host was great with recommendations and responding to questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
