Perfection

The Surf Shack beach cottage really was the nicest VRBO property we’ve ever stayed at (and we’ve never been disappointed with the rentals). It was perfect - cozy, comfortable, super close to the beach. The decor was funky, cool, beachy, artistic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great little spot!

The Surf Shack matched the VRBO listing and more! Most well-stocked VRBO rental we've stayed in. Check in was easy and Heather answered all questions we had quickly. Would definitely rent this cute little place again!

A Perfect Hideaway to Recharge

The Surf Shack was a perfect nest for my son and I. Stunning interiors—dream kitchen for any chef—every cooking gadget and appliance you can imagine—and soft, snuggly blankets to wrap yourself in to watch the gorgeous sunset. Thoughtful details throughout the property;paradise!

The Perfect Beach Stay

We could have stayed forever. The place was clean, cute, comfortable and the amount of space just right. For two women wanting to get away or a family of four there wouldn't be a better place. Very short walk to the beach. We loved every minute.

Cool Little Shack!

Feel like I should quote the B-52s! This is a really neat guest house behind a main house, very close to the beach. It was beautifully apportioned, and also had lots of simple amenities (like coffee pods and soda). We only stayed a night, but would return!

Little Surf Shack is a Whole Lot of Fun!

This was one of the best beach stays I have ever had! The property was very attractive, and well furnished. It has an artsy bohemian quality that makes it feel like you’re on vacation. The location of the property is awesome, with the beach maybe 60 yards away, and downtown Gulfport only a couple of blocks away. The view from the sitting area at the front of the house was spectacular. Communication with the owners was prompt and friendly. I would definitely love to stay here again.

Ummmm Wow!

The Surf Shack was the PERFECT place to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We were both floored by the decor and location and LOVED being able to open the overhead door and both see and hear the Gulf so close! This was maybe the most thoughtfully designed and supplied home we’ve stayed in, you can truly tell that the owners have thought of everything and take pride in creating a fun and homelike environment for their guests. 5 out of 5 would/will definitely stay here again!

Surf shack

Property was clean, close to the ocean and very well stocked. It was nice to be able to open the garage door, lay on the couch and watch the ocean. Walking distance to shaggys, salute Italian restaurant, coffee shop and aquarium. We will definitely book again when in the area. We have stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this place had the most stocked kitchen, gadgets and cookware of any.
