Casual Waterfront Living With Private Dock! Location only minutes to Beach

A sensational waterfront vacation home rental, Young at Heart is located on a backwater cove along the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast. This home offers you the retreat of a lifetime.

Enjoy the waterfront location with private dock, fishing, kayaking, crabbing and bird watching. Fire up the grill, relax and don't forget to enjoy the beautiful sunsets.

Bring your boat! A boat ramp is located at the community center within easy walking distance! There are also boat rental and charter fishing services available nearby.

Of course you can fish right off the private dock too and there are a few kayaks, paddles, and life vests for use. There are a few basic fishing rods but you will probably prefer to bring your own fishing gear as well as bait and tackle. The dock is equipped with lighting for night fishing and a fish cleaning station.

The home is in a quiet location of Gulfport near Biloxi and very close to beaches! By car you are only minutes from casinos, outlet mall shopping, island ferry service, dining and entertainment. Children will love the local parks with splash pads and the beach, or take them to the new Mississippi Aquarium, the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center, Gulf Islands Water Park, the Ocean Adventures Marine Park at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, or on a Ferry ride to Ship Island.

You are just an hour or so drive from Dauphin Island where lots of shells can be found on the west end. About the same driving time to the southwest is the New Orleans French Quarter. This home is also in a great location to visit Biloxi, downtown Gulfport, Old Town Bay St. Louis, local shops of Ocean Springs, the Hattiesburg Zoo and so much more.

This home has a large covered deck overlooking the waterfront. There's a lot to do in the area but you don't need to leave the house to have fun. You can find plenty of relaxation right at home. There's also a park within walking distance with playground, tennis courts and a long boardwalk along the bayou.

The house has been equipped for your comfort and ease of access.

The bedrooms are separated and the guest room is furnished with two queens with tub/shower. The master suite is king size with private bath featuring a separate tub and shower. All rooms open to the second story deck with balcony railing and amazing waterfront views.

Home is equipped with premium television with a huge flat screen and unlimited high speed WiFi. Flat screen TVs are also located in each bedroom.

The home is appointed with quality furnishings and decorated professionally with a coastal flavor.

Always Relaxing with Adventure Nearby!
The home is beautiful and very well kept. Eric is always welcoming and has good recommendations about restaurants and activities! Trace is still a joy to watch! We could return here routinely - Oh, we do, and hope to continue! Thank you, Eric!

Beautiful!
This is a wonderful place to spend time away from home. In fact, it feels like home! Even though the weather didn't fully cooperate, there were so many things to do nearby that we stayed as busy as we wanted to every day. We saw two of the resident eagles, a small alligator a couple of coves away, and several herons spent time on our dock! Eric is always available for questions and he maintains this house very well. And, of course, Trace is a joy to watch! Thank you, Eric, for another lovely get away!

Gulf Coast Visit
We really enjoyed our stay. Eric was a great host. The view off the back porch was amazing. We loved being able to walk out on the dock behind the house and jump on our boat. Eric was very helpful with boating tips and places to go. He even helped me launch the boat. We highly recommend renting this property! Hoping to go back again soon.

Wonderful Waterfront Getaway
We stayed for four nights during Cruisin' The Coast and towed our classic car. There was ample parking for the truck, trailer, and car. And the owner, Eric, even offered for us to park in the grass or his driveway (next door) if we invited guests back to the property. The house was really great. Very clean, new appliances, memory foam mattresses, big television, nice linens, and fully stocked kitchen. A safe neighborhood just far enough removed from the congestion and traffic on Beach Blvd. We hope to stay again.

Fishing and Sunsets
We had a fun and relaxing time at the house. We launched the boat at the local boat ramp and quickly docked at the house. We unloaded the SUV and went to dinner. Early next morning, we were at the Gulfport bait shop and then back for some fishing. After fishing, we went to Ocean Adventures and saw dolphins, rays, and a sea lion. Then we went home and rested. As the sun went down, we went fishing again, while part of the family took in the sunset on the porch. Rinse and repeat for a perfect weekend.

Great get away
I cant say enough good things about the house, and owner! The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we could possibly need. Mr. Snell was the perfect host, he greeted us shortly after we arrived. He showed my kids how to fish with what was available at the house. His precious dog Trace was a big hit with the kids too. He's the sweetest and most well behaved pup. Mr. Snell gave us great recommendations on where to eat and take the kids for fun. We had the best time! If we find ourselves in Gulfport again I hope this house is open!
