Wonderful Stay at The Zen House!We had a wonderful stay at The Zen House in Gulfport! This beautifully decorated and furnished 3-bedroom home was cozy, comfortable, and perfect for our group while we were in town celebrating a very special 50th wedding anniversary.The location is fantastic—within walking distance of the beach, Gulfport’s arts district, and some outstanding restaurants. The house was beautifully appointed, very comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The internet also worked flawlessly, which was an added bonus.Thank you for helping make our visit so enjoyable! We truly loved our stay and hope to come back to The Zen House again soon! Highly recommended!

The Zen House was everything it promised. Walking distance to Gulfport's quaint and charming downtown, shops, cafes, restaurants and waterfront. The cottage is beautiful, tasteful decor and perfectly equipped. Quiet neighborhood and everything one needs for a peaceful stay. The communication with the owner was easy. Thank you, we will book again!

Great stay in Gulfport

Laura was outstanding property manager in this lovely house. It was noisy in the neighborhood at times but tolerable and understandable after 2 hurricanes! The house is so close to so many wonderful activities, restaurants, shopping, hiking, bike riding and water sports.We had an outstanding time!

Lovely relaxing stay

Location was perfect for us. The house is super cute, modernized and cozy. Obviously a lot of creative thought has gone into this gem. Outside patio is a very pleasant spot to read. Comfortable beds and inside furniture. We hope to be able to stay here again on future visits to the area.

New year’s vacation

Overall great house and location. About 10 minute walking distance from shops, beach, and restaurants was nice! Would definitely stay here again! Had a little problem with directions getting into house and some Wi-Fi issues but figured it out quickly.

Lovely Stay

We had an amazing time at the Zen House! Lauren was incredibly helpful with checking in, and restaurant recommendations in the area. It was nice to have a comfortable home base to come back to while on our trip. Our daughter especially LOVED all of the fun pillows that are in the house. We tried our best to get them back to their correct rooms. Thanks for a great stay!

The house was very cozy with all of the amenities. It was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Lauren responded quickly to a few questions we had. We are returning in the next few weeks with the rest of the family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

PERFECT!!!!

Thoughtful details and extra services you would never expect to find in a vacation rental! We were able to rent a golf cart (on site) and travel the downtown Gulfport area, which was sooooo amazing! We also had access to numerous extra services, and we chose Reiki, which was the perfect reset 🙏 The host was out of this world! Attentive and informative, and a very sweet person on top of it all. We absolutely intend on revisiting this EXACT place in the future ❤️

Great spot, but needs a couple fixes

This home has a fun style. It has everything a couple or family would need for a few days. That said, a few updates would improve the experience and is the reason why this home gets 4 stars instead of 5.Front bedroom is a sunroom with lots of light. This room has only roll-up bamboo porch privacy shades that let in the light even at night from the streetlights beaming in. This is great for the daytime but disruptive for sleep without actual curtains.The room and others have crank windows which are typical of older Florida homes. Unfortunately, one of the windows (right behind the bed) doesn't close completely and let's in cold air. It was rigged up with a board on the outside and I had to fix twice. The cool air (January) wouldn't have been too bad except that the window was also missing a screen making us a little nervous about potential bugs getting in.Anther bedroom also has windows that don't crank easily since the crank is worn out. A little note on the window would be helpful for guests so they know not to open the broken ones. We stayed for over 5 days and needed to change the trash but it was unclear where the outside trashcan. The owner ended up telling us to go through the neighbors backyard and use the trashcan there. Not ideal and felt creepy. Overall we had a great stay, love the location. This house would have 5 stars once the owner addresses these few issues.
