About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Rick & Tracy LaFleur

We are Louisiana natives that absolutely adore playing host to others who like to travel as we do. There is a special joy to providing a comforting, inviting home and offering advice on how to enjoy the beautiful and fun-filled towns that we love visiting. We can't wait to provide an awesome experience for you!
Why they chose this property
2nd Street is the most desirable neighborhood in Gulfport. This quiet, beautiful, and historic neighborhood is filled with renovated old Mississippi homes as well as lovely new custom homes. 2nd Street offers a Southern coastal feel rife with oak trees and gorgeous white sand.
What makes this property unique
Bon Temps Beach house combines the feel of New Orleans and coastal MS. Brick floors, neutral colors, and classic French touches with a Beach twist makes this the perfect family getaway in Gulfport. Sit on the front porch to enjoy shaded beauty and the languid feel of the South, then go out back to relax and take in the sparkling view of the Gulf of Mexico from the shaded back porch.
