We loved the Blue Hen Bungalow! The location is perfect with much to walk to in Gulfport. The pool and deck area are so private and relaxing. We spent tons of time in the pool. The entire house is well equipped. So nice to have two bathrooms including one just off the pool area. The sectional is so comfy, and the AC works great! Also lovely having laundry. I must come back next year!!!

This house is just lovely, old feel Florida. Although we were only a party of 2, there is plenty of room for a family. Everything was clean; the kitchen had all the utensils etc you need for cooking; beach towels, toys and chairs were provided. The pool is wonderful as it the firepit! The location is fabulous - an easy walk to town for the restaurants and stores, as well as to the beach.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m so glad you enjoyed the charm of the home — that classic “old Florida” feel really makes it special. It’s great to hear you found everything clean and well-equipped, and that the beach gear, pool, and firepit helped make your stay even more relaxing and fun. The location really is hard to beat, with everything just a short walk away! We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to welcome you back anytime — hopefully for an even longer visit next time!

Loved it just wish the pool was heated and the smell of sulfur was overwhelming at times
Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 2 December 2025
Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the smell, as I mentioned during your visit, it was not sulfur - it was reclaimed water from the neighbors sprinkler system. Also, the pool is not advertised as heated, so it is not included as an amenity.
