Great Stay!

This house is set up so well between the main house and guest house. Between the two house you will have everything you need for a great stay! The kitchens have plenty of cookware, dishes and utensils. The guest house is great with the arcade games and cool place to relax. Also the beach is just a 5 minute walk!

Great Family Getaway

This property was great for our whole family to get away for a nice break. The two houses were fantastic to allow everyone space and the property was well stocked with a full kitchen. Right down the street from the beach made it good for everyone to do their own thing since the weather was blistering hot while we were there. Host was also excellent.

This property is VERY spacious and in a GREAT location. Just minutes to the Aquarium and plenty of restaurants and shopping, but you'd never know it from the quiet neighborhood.Having two separate houses with plenty of space to entertain and prepare meals was a plus, but the real gem is the front porch - sitting on the swing under the giant oaks on a quiet street being able to see the waterfront was exactly what we hoped for. We spent more time on the porch than anywhere else!Host was very attentive and quick to respond. We had a couple of glitches that were taken care of in record time, so we never missed a beat.It's always a gamble staying in the middle of a neighborhood, but this one was SO peaceful - always quiet, and the folks who passed by on the street were incredibly friendly and welcoming.This trip to the coast was very important for our family and we needed things to go well. This property helped make our trip perfect, and we were able to relax, laugh, and make some memories. I highly recommend a stay here.

Perfect Spot

Loved this property! The house is beautiful and had met all our needs! Had a wonderful back yard with outdoor furniture, tree swing and a view of the Gulf. Ideal location for being accessible to all the Gulfport and surrounding area has to offer. Would highly recommend this property for a large group. I hope to revisit and rent this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Jay Merritt

Host profile image

We have lived in the area for 15 years and have fallen in love with the MS Gulf Coast. We love the outdoors, traveling, and the restaurants from Bay St. Louis to Ocean Springs. We are glad to recommend our favorite restaurants and bars.

Why they chose this property

2nd Street is a very highly sought after area in Gulfport. It has many beautiful oaks and is one block from the beach and close to downtown. There are historic homes along the street that have been renovated and many new construction homes in the area. It is a very quiet street where you'll see many retirees walking their dogs or going for a walk/jog when the weather allows. We try to provide more than just a place to stay but a place to have memories that will last forever.

What makes this property unique


Our renovated main house was built in 1920 but has undergone many changes through the years. It was completely renovated after Katrina and has been renovated more recently by us with new paint and lovely furnishings and artwork so the home feels much much newer but with so much old world charm. The guest house was once a 5 car garage for very high end vehicles from a previous owner and was eventually converted to a living space with a bedroom, loft, living room, kitchen, and 2 bathrooms and laundry space. The exquisite garage ceiling is rare (gold colored metal finish) so we decided to keep that extra flare to tie into decorating. We love that our home and property feels like a special place to guests to unwind and reset. We love hearing from our guests who tell us about the great memories made there. We love being able to offer this experience to others.

SOME EVENTS MAY BE ALLOWED

Since there are 2 houses it will allow larger groups to stay while allowing enough privacy to have their own space where they can hang out late into the night while some go to sleep early.
The property is located just 215 yards from the beach making it easy to walk to.
There is a large yard with a beautiful sprawling oak tree overlooking water views down to the ocean.
