About this property

The Driftwood Bungalow – Relax, Unwind, & Stroll to the Beach

Welcome to Driftwood Bungalow, a cheerful and comfortable 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home tucked into a quiet Gulfport neighborhood—just a 15-minute walk (.7 miles) to the beach and minutes from Gulfport’s most exciting attractions, eateries, and entertainment. This lovingly maintained home is perfect for beach lovers, small families, friend groups, and travelers looking to unwind along the Mississippi Gulf Coast with all the comforts of home.

From the cozy porch swing to the fenced backyard with string lights and a dog door for your furry companion, every detail here was made with care to ensure a stress-free, peaceful stay. Whether you're beachcombing by morning or exploring art-filled alleyways and historic harbors by afternoon, Driftwood Bungalow is your cozy launchpad for coastal adventure.


~~Come Settle In~~

The home’s breezy, beach-inspired interior welcomes you with soft lighting, natural textures, and just the right mix of function and flair. In the living room, you'll find plush seating, a smart TV for movie nights, and subtle coastal décor that brings the Gulf inside.

The adjacent dining room seats six comfortably and opens up to a fully equipped kitchen—stocked with dishes, cookware, a coffee maker, blender, and full-sized appliances, including a dishwasher. It's the kind of space where you can whip up shrimp and grits one night and enjoy morning coffee in the sunlit breakfast nook the next.


~~Space to Relax & Recharge~~

Primary Bedroom: A peaceful king suite with a comfortable king-size bed, quality linens, full dresser, and closet. A half bath is attached to this room for added privacy.

Second Bedroom: A bright and airy room with a full-size bed—simple, cozy, and great for couples or solo travelers.

Third Bedroom: Also features a full-size bed and calming design touches for a restful night.

Main Bathroom: A clean, classic layout with a shower (no tub) and fluffy towels included.

~~Explore the Area – Attractions Near and Far~~

Whether you’re craving laid-back beach days, foodie adventures, cultural discoveries, or a day trip to a charming coastal town, you’ll be perfectly positioned to explore it all.


~~Walkable & Local~~

Beach – Just 15 minutes on foot, the white-sand Gulfport beaches are perfect for swimming, shelling, and sunbathing. Pack a beach towel and stroll down for sunset.

Fishbone Alley – A hidden gem in downtown Gulfport (5 minutes away), this colorful, mural-filled alley is lined with trendy restaurants, breweries, and live music.

Island View Casino Resort – Try your luck or indulge in a steakhouse dinner at this full-service casino just 5 minutes away.

Mississippi Aquarium – Great for families or marine-life lovers. Meet sea otters, sharks, rays, and more in a stunning waterfront facility.

Jones Park and Marina – A beautiful green space perfect for picnics, harbor views, and community events. You can also hop on a ferry here to Ship Island.


~~Family Fun~~

Gulf Islands Waterpark – Just a short drive away and filled with slides, wave pools, and splash zones. A hit with kids of all ages.

Lynn Meadows Discovery Center – An award-winning children’s museum in nearby Long Beach with interactive exhibits, outdoor play areas, and creative programming.


~~Local Flavor~~

Gulfport is known for its fresh seafood, coastal Cajun flavors, and local flair. Try a dozen oysters on the half shell, grab some fried shrimp from a dockside café, or sip a craft beer at Chandeleur Island Brewing Company—just minutes from the bungalow.


~~Day Trip to Bay St. Louis~~

Looking to explore beyond Gulfport? You’re just a 35-minute drive from Bay St. Louis, one of Mississippi’s most charming and artistic coastal towns. Stroll through its historic Old Town filled with local boutiques, art galleries, and quirky cafes. Enjoy lunch overlooking the harbor, walk the beachside boardwalk, or explore the marina at sunset. It's a slower pace with plenty of character and makes for a perfect day trip.


~~Clean, Safe, and Ready for You~~

We go above and beyond with professional cleaning, detailed quality control checks, and fresh linens for every guest. We provide starter supplies for your stay and are always just a message away if you need anything during your time here.

Many of our guests return again and again, and we’d love to welcome you to the Bonnabel Haus family.

We are not responsible for weather-related issues or outages out of our control (storms, power, Wi-Fi), but we’ll always do what we can to assist if the unexpected happens.

No smoking, parties, or events permitted.


~~Driftwood Bungalow Awaits~~

This is more than a place to sleep—it’s a place to settle in. To enjoy your morning coffee on the porch swing. To wander home barefoot from the beach. To share a sunset dinner under the glow of string lights while your pup naps nearby. To explore the coast, relax in the quiet, and feel at ease.

Whether you’re in town for a beach getaway, a coastal road trip, or just some time to recharge, Driftwood Bungalow is here to welcome you with open arms and a comfortable place to call home.

We’d be honored to host you!

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood was chosen for its charm, peaceful atmosphere, and easy access to the best local spots.

Whether guests are here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this area offers a welcoming vibe that’s both safe and comfortable. It’s the kind of neighborhood that gives guests a real sense of place, not just a place to sleep.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property truly unique is the way it blends thoughtful design with comfort and ease. It’s more than just a place to sleep—it’s a space designed for real rest, connection, and convenience.

The backyard offers a peaceful escape with a cozy patio that's perfect for morning coffee, evening dinners, or unwinding with a good book. Surrounded by trees and tucked away from the street, it feels private and serene—a quiet little retreat where you can truly relax.
The patio is set up for easy outdoor living, with space to dine, gather, or just sit and enjoy the fresh air. It’s not uncommon to hear birds in the morning or catch a soft breeze in the afternoon—it’s the kind of outdoor space that feels like a hidden gem. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or as a couple, the backyard gives you that extra layer of calm that makes a stay feel special. Combined with the inviting interiors and great location, this home offers a well-rounded experience that’s hard to find.
