About the host

Hosted by Toni Apgar

Host profile image
Our family resides in Gulfport, Florida. We visited Gulfport from Vermont a few years ago. Within days, we decided to stay and purchased this charming beach house. The side rental unit has recently undergone a remodel. This mid-century modern, quiet, breezy, and quaint beach house is bathed in sunlight with its windows open, offering breathtaking views of the gorgeous skies and honeysuckle vines cascading over the fence. We reside in the main part of this wood frame bungalow with separate entrance, yard and parking.

Why they chose this property

This family owned property has a private entry side studio apartment that we are renting out, behind a fully fenced side gate. The sunset views beyond the palm trees on this quiet historic brick street are intense and gorgeous. It's a vacation every day. The location is perfect for beach walks, picnics in the park, having coffee or brunch in Downtown, or enjoying the local culture at the Tuesday morning local farmer's market in Downtown Gulfport, FL. Our little town is truly a local gem, and we would love to share our find with you!

What makes this property unique

This property offers unique benefits, including its peaceful, quiet, and breezy setting. The bright open floorplan features a newly remodeled bathroom and a newly installed kitchenette with a bamboo butcher block countertop. It’s perfect for one or two people to enjoy a peaceful and private getaway.
