Sufficient

The property worked for our needs. We just did not do adequate research on Gulfport and hoped for more of a beach location, which has no bearing on the property or host,
Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 26 February 2025
Unlike most parts of Florida, the Gulfport beaches have very little development on the sand side so renting something right on the water isn't an option. I love that about Mississippi because you can drive the beach highway and see miles of open sand beaches, pull over anywhere and find your uncrowded spot, and it's open for everyone.

About the host

Hosted by Debra Hilgeman

Host profile image
I've been renovating homes in Gulfport as long-term rentals and have also had vacation rentals for more than 10 years. I love this area--the Southern hospitality, variety of fun things to do, and being on the water! It's been home for almost 30 years and I love to host guests in my lovely homes. I'm a Premier Host on VRBO and also have an historic cottage a few blocks away; listing 2024156, with nothing but five-star reviews!

Why they chose this property

Palm View House is located close to everything the Coast has to offer! Walk one block to the beach, and short drive to downtown, casinos, Mississippi Aquarium, and other charming beach communities. This house has just undergone a meticulous renovation with a palm tree theme, and has a unique fun area underneath the house that is perfect for you, your family and friends to gather!

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous Gulf views and an amazing house set among the palms. The large front porch overlooks the Gulf of Mexico's sandy beaches. The house got a total renovation that was finished in March 2021. The 1200 sf lower patio has a large propane grill, picnic table, high top table, bar, grill, swing, and games for adults and kids. The fenced yard opens onto the patio and is great for pets and kids.
