Steps to Beach- 4 Bdrm & 3.5 Bath. Master suite + Mother in Law suite.

Rent our E-bikes onsite! They are a blast!
Beautiful Acadian beach home with a French Quarter feel under the oaks on historic 2nd Street. Relax in style on a shaded front porch or take in sweeping views of the Gulf of America with your morning coffee from the back porch. Mere steps to beach and walking distance to restaurants, downtown, the harbor and the event center at Jones Park. Book for "Cruising the Coast" and be right in the center of every event on the Coast. Come for Christmas and take in the massive Harbor Lights Festival at Jones Park. Throughout the Spring and Summer months there are festivals and events every weekend along the Coast. Taxis and Uber available for travel to neighboring cities on the beach and public transportation is available with the Coast trolley shuttle that connects you to Gulfport and Biloxi Casinos.
Centennial Plaza has just opened walking distance from house with shopping, cafe's and activities for the kiddos.
The Coast Aquarium is just a mile from the house and is great family fun.
Snowbirds and Cruisers Welcome!
There is a jet ski and beach activity rental within walking distance as well. This house is truly at the heart of everything the Coast has to offer.
The Main house is 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath with a sofa pull out. The upstairs apartment is a private mother-in-law style retreat with queen bed and full bath with small den and kitchen.
The main kitchen is a cook's dream come true with oversized pro-style convection oven, secondary wall oven, commercial hood, griddle, with gas range wrapping around a large island work space. There are many great restaurants to choose from, but if you like to entertain there is really nothing you can't do with this set-up. Gas grill is provided out back for cooking with a view. TV's in master bedroom, guest bedroom, Mother-in-law suite, and living room. Washer and Dryer and stocked laundry room.

Thanksgiving
My family stayed here and cooked a Thanksgiving meal for our Airman son and some of his Airmen friends. There was plenty of room with an open layout and a kitchen big enough for multiple people to cook. Very beautiful place.

Family stay at the beach
Great property and excellent location. This property has an unbelievable view of the ocean. Right out on the covered deck there is a fantastic view. We were not expecting to be that close to the ocean. No need to drive. Our family group of 10 - 5 adults and 5 kids, really enjoyed the house. It was perfect for our group. Really nice bedrooms with comfortable beds - plenty of sleeping area. The separate apartment worked well for our adult daughter and her daughter. The host supplied Keurig Pods for coffee along with cream and also a coffee pot and other coffee and tea. The living room is as spacious as described. The kids enjoyed the living room and large TV. The kitchen table along with a center island bar more than supplied enough space. Washer and dryer worked well, with an ample supply of detergent. Our family spent a lot of time at the beach and the kids as well as the adults had a blast - just a little sunburnt. There are plenty of things to do, such as the Mississippi Aquarium and some of us even went on a swamp boat ride and tour. We would certainly stay here again for any trip to Gulfport. Fantastic!

Peaceful & Wonderful for a family!
This is a lovely home with good views. We were able to bring our pets (without hassle). There is a great yard for dogs. The neighborhood is quiet and very pretty. The house is close to everything. We hope to return one day. The owner is very friendly and helpful. He also replies to any questions or concerns swiftly. The house could use a good cleaning but it didn’t hinder our stay.

Family Vacation
Than you Rick for sharing your wonderful “Home Away from Home”! The perfect size for our family of 7! The home was exactly as described! Clean, comfortable and very relaxing! We enjoyed the beach almost every day having it pretty much all to ourselves. We tried a few of the local restaurants! (All were delicious!) We took the ferry out to Ship Island and saw dolphins and stingrays and found all kinds of beautiful shells!! Took a swamp tour with Cajun Encounters and saw many alligators! Headed to New Orleans a couple of days and visited the WWII museum (very interesting). Gulfport and this home were the perfect vacation destination! What a wonderful vacation with memories to cherish for a lifetime! Thank you!!!😊

Gulfport getaway
Overall our stay was wonderful! There was difficulty getting in to the property upon arrival, but Patrick was very quick to respond and got us in. A few towels in the upstairs apartment bathroom were overlooked during cleaning and were still laying on the counter when we got there, but again a minor issue and we just threw them in the wash. The property location is perfect. The ocean view from the back porch was beautiful and relaxing. We had an added bonus of a community Mardi Gras parade that came down the street right in front of the house. Just minutes to every attraction. Lots of character and great space in the house. We would definitely look to stay at the property again when visiting Gulfport!

We Highly Recommend
Our family of 10, ages 11 months to 61 years, loved this property. Rick, the new owner, was very accommodating, and has the house is in great shape. While we were there, a new air-conditioning unit was put in for the upstairs apartment that kept it very cool. We loved how close it was to the beach. Every day we had the beach to ourselves. The sand was white and the water was great. The back patio space is a terrific area to hang out, visit, and have water balloon fights. The front porch was a great place to have morning coffee. There was plenty of room inside for us to spread out. We liked the big kitchen and cooked several meals there. There was a pack and play and highchair for the little one. There are tons of beach toys too. We highly recommend this property and hope we can come back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
Roaches. Dirty. Photos misleading. Avoid
Upon arrival I grew concerned. The grass surrounding the property was not cut. It had not been for awhile. The property is not a well-maintained vacation-level property. When we opened the door there was an odor. Things appear ‘nice’ from a distance. But as we toured the property, I noticed the kitchen was not clean. There was old, collect dirt in all the floor corners. There were visible crumbs. I took a Lysol wipe and rubbed it across the counter and it was dirty! I wish I could add photos. We did the same for the floor and it was dirty. The refrigerator had visible dirt especially in all in the corners. The oven was filthy. I moved to the sitting area and the couches were dirty. Piled up dog hair was visible on the top level of pull out couch. The sheets on the pull out couch were dirty. Then I noticed the first dead cockroach in the family room in front of the mantle. We moved to the bedrooms and the sheets were dirty. There was hair in one of the beds and we found a candy wrapper made up in one of the beds. There were more dead roaches in each of the bedrooms. Same in bathrooms. Someone squished a roach with a toilet paper roll and left it there for guests to use. Why didn’t housekeeping at least vacuum them up?The apt was dirty, musty and hot. I called the owner. He stated the cockroaches were due to the oak trees? Ok. But that wasn’t in the listing. There were promises made, but not kept. “Go get a meal on me and I’ll get housekeeping to come back and clean up”. All the places he recommended were closed btw. But we found a Waffle House and tried to make the best of it while we waited for the unit to be cleaned. Maybe all the roaches are dead. Maybe we can try and stick it out if they clean up. It’s so late and the kids are tired. We’re tired. We can’t drive 6 hours home now. Housekeeping came, we discussed what to clean, but she did not clean! When we turned on the lights live roaches were everywhere! We put the kids in the car and started calling to find somewhere to stay. It’s after midnight by now. I called the owner- “If you have to get a room, I’ll pay for it”. “ I’ll refund your stay”. We shelled out more for a hotel just yo sleep and check out the same day. We were not reimbursed. Luckily we were able to find decent accommodations at an additional cost just to try to salvage the trip. After promising a refund, the owner only gave a partial reimbursement, even though he promised a full reimbursement. That never happened. Beware.
