Relaxing stay

My family and I had had a great time and loved the house! They only thing that was kind of a let down was, there really isn’t much to do in that area. Our over all stay was great. Love that the house provides you with beach equipment.

Birthday Bash

My friends and I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this location. It had the elegance, space and personality that we were seeking. The house was exceedingly clean, offered several amenities that made it perfect to host a gathering before heading for dinner or to the beach. I received quick responses and detail before arriving. We all highly suggest considering this location for your next visit to the coast!

Better than I imagined!

Great house.. close to beach, clean, safe and wonderful hostess. We had no problems at all. She was very attentive and had everything we needed. We will definately be back! Gulfport was so surprising too…the white sands, the beaches weren’t crowded.. plenty to do! Definitely the first of many visits for us!

Comfortable and convenient location

Location was convenient for us. Cute quiet neighborhood. My husband did not like the TV setup where everything was accessed via an App. Wi-Fi and cell service was good. The living room sofa has seen better days and could use a replacement. Would have been more comfortable if it was something that’s not fabric. Bed was comfortable. Plenty of towels and linens. We will be back next year. Thank you!!

About the host

Hosted by Jay Merritt

Host profile image
We love traveling, the outdoors and great food/bars! We absolutely love our gulf coast and all of the wonderful options in all of the different cities close to each other and the beautiful waterfront sunsets! We love providing an amazing experience for guests.

Why they chose this property

Absolutely stunning views on your path to get here and such an easy walk down to the beach. There are picturesque Oaks in the area that makes for such nice walks and water views that provide a tranquil experience for the guests. It is a very quiet area with many retirees walking their dogs and going for walks/jogs when the weather allows. Downtown and many nice restaurants, a casino, and attractions are just a few minutes drive away.

What makes this property unique

One of the most loved properties in Gulfport with over 200 reviews across platforms. We bought this house brand new with hopes for our guests to enjoy a serene and beautiful experience. This cozy house provides plenty of room for guests and close to lots of food and entertainment.
