Great location, walkable to the beach. Quite neighborhood except for occasional train. Host had supplied waffle iron with batter mix and supplies for s'mores. Short drive to Gulfport.

Incredibly helpful host. Very responsive when I messaged about early check in due to the weather. Home is laid out well and beds are comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with silverware. Air fryer works great. Nice location near downtown and the water. It is an old house and it does show some wear and tear but overall really great stay.

My family and I had a great time here. Lots of great little details like waffle mix and toppings ready to go without a trip to the grocery store, coffee on hand, beach toys and chairs, and my kids loved the bunk room. Access to the beach is awesome. And the pet friendliness was great.

The place Was as described. Clean and well-appointed with comfortable beds. Location to beach was great, 5-minute shady walk tops. Fenced in back yard. My only complaint really if I had 1 is the outside-yard could use a little upkeep. That could have been from a recent storm. I Would definitely rent and or recommend this property again.

Perfect Vaca spot

This was the perfect place to stay. In love with the whole place! Not often do you find a place that is supplied with a few major necessities (shampoo, conditioner and body wash) but also has a very nice computerized game table as well. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this house!

Christmas Celebration

We loved staying at Beach Bungalow. It was a very nice and spacious property. We were able to have our children and grandchildren come over to open gifts and eat dinner. We will cherish the memories forever!

Wonderful, relaxing week!

The location was perfect, not a super busy street. House was better than the pictures on the website. Dining table was our favorite for our family. We love to have game nights and we had one every night after a busy day of exploring.

Absolutely the best time.

The property is beautiful. It is in a nice, quite, secluded neighborhood. Yet a couple miles from everything. All the good resturants, an old time Winn Dixie, and the beach. We are all ready planning a return visit later this year.

Enjoyed it!

The ONLY negative about this venue is the proximity to passing trains. The kitchen was incredible, the living room very comfortable, the outside area was comfortable and private. We enjoyed it all very much! Thanks for sharing this lovely home with us!

Great experience!! We also had family staying at another vrbo so we got to experience the aquarium and harbor lights. We all agreed much better than staying at a hotel. No negatives at all!

Close to everything

Close to Ship Island Excursions. There are lots of great restaurants on the coast and this place is basically in the center of them all. Just short scenic drives either direction. The house is up to date, roomy, comfortable, clean. Love the gas range!!!

Beautiful home in quiet area close to beach

We had an enjoyable multi-week home away from home in Long Beach. The house has an excellent layout with a nice kitchen and a very comfortable master bedroom suite. Located away from business districts so local streets don’t have a lot of traffic. Quick walk to beach and short drive to restaurants. Reliable high speed internet. Pet friendly. Only thing we missed was a desk area for remote work. I set up in one of the bedrooms while my wife worked in the dining room. Would definitely consider booking again.

Gulfport MS Getaway

This was a wonderful place to stay for our family and pets! The bedrooms are very comfortable and large for our luggage and things. Bathrooms are well appointed and had tons of towels for our use. Appliances all in great working order. Kitchen is beautiful and easy to use for meals. Our pets were welcome and had bowls and beds provided. The neighborhood is quiet and the people were very friendly. There is a train that travels back and forth a couple times a day on tracks down the street and brought back memories of my childhood...loved it! The beach is the opposite direction and easy to get to. Highly recommend this place! 5 double stars for the owners! Will definitely be back! .

Beautiful well-cared for home, description not accurate

I'll get the so-called "bad" out of the way first: the MAIN REASON WE CHOSE THIS PROPERTY was it accepted dogs and claimed to have a fenced-in backyard... The yard was not fenced in at all. We could not let our dog in the back unattended to get her zoomies out. Worse is it is located 1 block from a pretty active railroad crossing making it even more dangerous should we choose to chance to letting the dog out without a fenced-in yard. The train came through around 4am every night we were there. Now the awesomeness that saved this review from 1star, as I was pretty angry at the no-fence thing. this house has either been recently renovated or so well cared for it appears to be recently renovated with modern decor as well as modern features in the bathrooms such as very large back-lit mirror in the master that is heated and bathroom lighting that is adjustable from very bright to "night light". the multiple shower was a pleasure with a rain shower overhead and and a side shower head as well. The shower itself is HUGE! If you're tall or large (or both) you will not be ramming your elbows into the walls - it was huge! The kitchen and home was well equipped and we had everything we needed at our fingertips. The owners we excellent communicators and we had everything we needed. The location is an easy, flat quick walk to the beach. Easy enough for my 73-year-old mother to walk it without issue. There is a very busy road to cross before reaching the beach, but we didn't have to wait long for a break in traffic to cross (there is no light or cross walk so small children def. need to be helped across).

Walking distance to beautiful beaches. Laid back area. Close to all the gulf offers but not smack in the middle. Clean clean clean. Comfortable. Many upgrades. Highly recommend
