Short Vacation in St. Petersburg

The cottage was very clean. We would suggest some hotel style shampoo and bath soaps. The parking was not very helpful in the dark. A picture or drawing would be very helpful for the parking directions.

First trip to Florida!

We loved our stay here. The house was clean and decorated nicely. The beds were very comfortable. The host was quick to communicate with us. They even let us stop back by to pick up clothing we had forgotten in the dryer at checkout. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone considering staying. Thanks again for everything!

Quaint, clean & so cute!

Responsive. Friendly. Gracious host. Clean, organized & charming home. Easy, convenient online check-in. Comfy beds, cozy rooms. Minimal but tasteful. Would be ideal if they had room for washer/dryer but it’s a small historic home. Could use a new shower head that locks at an angle. They do provide ample towels (love the white ones- pls share where you got them), beach towels & chairs even. Would stay again if near this area. Unless you need all the modern fixings, no need to hesitate!

Wonderful Gulfport

We were there for a whole month, so had the opportunity to do quite a bit. We loved walking around the neighborhood with our dog and meeting lots of people along the way. The Tuesday market was a hit. Clam Bayou had fantastic kayaking and Gulfport Beach was within walking distance. We rode our bikes on the Pinellas bike path and drove to Ft Desoto Park (15-20 min) for road and Mt biking. Alafia State Park (abt 1 hr drive) has some of the best Mt biking in Florida. We got in many days of windsurfing and visited relatives on Sunset Beach. Watched the Treasure Island boat parade and helped light luminaries on Sunset Beach. Even got to visit the Dalí Museum. My kind of relaxing vacation😄 The owners were always available and quick to respond to any problems.

Terrific Gulfport Getaway

I felt so lucky to land in this adorable cottage for a pre-Thanksgiving visit to my local college student. I’ve always wanted to stay in Gulfport and this place is terrific. 10 minutes’ walk from everything the neighborhood has to offer, off-street parking, and quiet except for the local bus, which goes right down this street a few times a day. The cottage is nicely decorated with a mellow old Florida vibe—no greige or leather couches to make you feel cold and sad. It’s spic and span and the kitchen has nearly everything you need to prepare basic meals. If you’re a serious cook and looking forward to seafood feasts, you might need a few items (like a large pot for boiling) but otherwise everything you need is here. My host was easy to reach and incredibly accommodating, even as we approached the holiday weekend. Very happy to be here, and will definitely look this property up for my next visit.

Lovely cottage

Great place for our FL visit. The house was clean and well stocked with towels, linens, kitchen items, beach chairs, games and even a washer/dryer. Beds very comfortable. Very responsive hosts. I’m used to room darkening shades so the lights from nearby properties at night were a bit bright for my personal comfort but might not bother others. Would stay here again.
