Steps to Beach- 4 Bdrm & 3.5 Bath. Master suite + Mother in Law suite.

Rent our E-bikes onsite! They are a blast!
Beautiful Acadian beach home with a French Quarter feel under the oaks on historic 2nd Street. Relax in style on a shaded front porch or take in sweeping views of the Gulf of America with your morning coffee from the back porch. Mere steps to beach and walking distance to restaurants, downtown, the harbor and the event center at Jones Park. Book for "Cruising the Coast" and be right in the center of every event on the Coast. Come for Christmas and take in the massive Harbor Lights Festival at Jones Park. Throughout the Spring and Summer months there are festivals and events every weekend along the Coast. Taxis and Uber available for travel to neighboring cities on the beach and public transportation is available with the Coast trolley shuttle that connects you to Gulfport and Biloxi Casinos.
Centennial Plaza has just opened walking distance from house with shopping, cafe's and activities for the kiddos.
The Coast Aquarium is just a mile from the house and is great family fun.
Snowbirds and Cruisers Welcome!
There is a jet ski and beach activity rental within walking distance as well. This house is truly at the heart of everything the Coast has to offer.
The Main house is 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath with a sofa pull out. The upstairs apartment is a private mother-in-law style retreat with queen bed and full bath with small den and kitchen.
The main kitchen is a cook's dream come true with oversized pro-style convection oven, secondary wall oven, commercial hood, griddle, with gas range wrapping around a large island work space. There are many great restaurants to choose from, but if you like to entertain there is really nothing you can't do with this set-up. Gas grill is provided out back for cooking with a view. TV's in master bedroom, guest bedroom, Mother-in-law suite, and living room. Washer and Dryer and stocked laundry room.

Family beach vacation

Property was excellent for our family vacation. The house was updated and clean. The kitchen was perfect for making family dinners with plenty of seating. We were able to walk to the beach within minutes. The host got back to us quickly with answers to our questions and was super friendly. We would definitely come back.

This home was perfect for our family getaway! With ample space for all ten of us, everyone had their own area to relax. The house is well-equipped, so we didn’t have to worry about overpacking. Its stunning design and fantastic outdoor area made it a great place to unwind. We would love to rent this home again next year if it's available! The host was incredibly friendly and quick to respond, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Family Vacation

Than you Rick for sharing your wonderful “Home Away from Home”! The perfect size for our family of 7! The home was exactly as described! Clean, comfortable and very relaxing! We enjoyed the beach almost every day having it pretty much all to ourselves. We tried a few of the local restaurants! (All were delicious!) We took the ferry out to Ship Island and saw dolphins and stingrays and found all kinds of beautiful shells!! Took a swamp tour with Cajun Encounters and saw many alligators! Headed to New Orleans a couple of days and visited the WWII museum (very interesting). Gulfport and this home were the perfect vacation destination! What a wonderful vacation with memories to cherish for a lifetime! Thank you!!!😊

The house was plenty of room for our family of 11 and had everything we needed. We loved being so close to the beach! The covered back patio was so nice and we spent lots of time outside. The extra half bath was also a plus with us having so many people staying. We loved every minute of our stay!

Awesome location!

Our group of 5 adults, 5 children ages 5yo to 16yo, and one dog had a wonderful stay. Beds were comfortable. We had plenty of space to spread out. Kitchen was well-equipped. The location was perfect for days at the beach and for exploring Gulfport. Rick is a responsive and helpful host.

Family stay at the beach

Great property and excellent location. This property has an unbelievable view of the ocean. Right out on the covered deck there is a fantastic view. We were not expecting to be that close to the ocean. No need to drive. Our family group of 10 - 5 adults and 5 kids, really enjoyed the house. It was perfect for our group. Really nice bedrooms with comfortable beds - plenty of sleeping area. The separate apartment worked well for our adult daughter and her daughter. The host supplied Keurig Pods for coffee along with cream and also a coffee pot and other coffee and tea. The living room is as spacious as described. The kids enjoyed the living room and large TV. The kitchen table along with a center island bar more than supplied enough space. Washer and dryer worked well, with an ample supply of detergent. Our family spent a lot of time at the beach and the kids as well as the adults had a blast - just a little sunburnt. There are plenty of things to do, such as the Mississippi Aquarium and some of us even went on a swamp boat ride and tour. We would certainly stay here again for any trip to Gulfport. Fantastic!
