Perfect Stay!

All I can say is WOW! This place exceeded our expectations. Communication with the host was excellent, we received area information, recommendations, and details all ahead of our stay. The place itself close enough to walk to the beach but just tucked away enough to feel slightly secluded. The games are a great added touch and provided a few hours distraction for adults and kids both. The primary and twin beds are by far the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on during vacation!! We were in town for athletic events and the quiet neighborhood made it possible to get rest in the middle of the day. The teenagers napped on the beanbags in the loft and it was the highlight of their trip! Pictures don’t do justice to just how spacious and open this place is. Parking is simple and we had ample space for two vehicles. We were less than 15 minutes drive from anywhere we needed to go. HIGHLY recommend this location to anyone looking to book in the Gulfport/biloxi area! 5 stars all around!

Surprise Trip

We were in the area unexpectedly, due to emergency change to our travel itinerary because of a hurricane. We chose to shift our vacation here, and our only regret was that we hadn’t found this place sooner!

Owners were extremely responsive. Property was in good shape, clean and all appliances worked well. Beach was just a block from the property and local restaurants and downtown were a quick drive/reasonable walk away. Would definitely stay here again.

Quick Getaway

My wife and I were traveling to Gulfport for our daughter’s softball tournament. The guesthouse was perfect for our family. Plenty of space and close to the beach. Our 6 and 9 year daughters loved the loft! Would stay again. Thank you, Mandy.

AMAZING!!

Property was perfect. The house was very clean and well put together for our stay. The property manager was quick to answer any questions we had. The house was super close to the beach, casinos, shopping, and lots of places to eat. We had a great time there and wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again!

About the host

Hosted by Jay Merritt

Host profile image
We have lived on the MS gulf coast for 13 years now and have loved being here. It has been a wonderful area with multiple towns that provide lots of great food and entertainment. We have enjoyed being able to provide memorable experiences to our guest.

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.

What makes this property unique

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. The picturesque sprawling Oak provides the most beautiful views with a water view down to the ocean from the kitchen/living room area.
