About this property

Perfect Cottage In Art District of Gulfport

This beautiful cottage was completely renovated with comfort and relaxation in mind. It is located in the Art District in Gulfport Florida which is within the Waterfront District. This 360 square foot cottage is the second cottage of three located on the Wishing Well property. It has an amazing kitchen with everything you need to cook or entertain friends. There is a large bathroom with a walk-in shower with a rain head! The bedroom has a new queen bed that is very comfortable. The living room has a leather futon perfect for guests. There is a large flat-screen TV in the living room with a DVD player. There is a smaller flat-screen TV in the bedroom.

**Please note that the cottage is perfect for a couple or a family with one or two younger children. It could be a bit tight for four adults, especially as the bathroom is accessed through the bedroom.

All of the shops, restaurants and Gulfport's beach are within a short walk of this cottage. This cottage has a lovely front porch for enjoying the Key West style atmosphere. We have a couple of bicycles at the property for guests to use to ride around town. There is also a large courtyard with a gazebo and gas grille for the enjoyment of guests.

All of Gulfport is within walking or biking distance of the cottage. St. Petersburg with its museums and shopping is just a short 7 minute car ride. Ft. Desoto Park is a 20 minute car ride.

This is a beautiful place in a great little beach town. Come once you will be back again and again. This is the kind of town you only tell your good friends about, lest it get spoiled. Come visit a real Florida beach town...

A perfect getaway weekend

Delightful little cottage just half a block of off the main Beach Dr., 3 blocks from the beach. Very small but just right for 1-2 people. Clean and very well equipped. A bit loud with two bars nearby but loud not enough to be disturbing. Great coffee on the corner. Highly recommend.

Small nice house great area to bring your dog.

We were there for 12 days ... yes its small but perfect for the 2 of us and our dog, we were not inside much. Perfect front porch to sit on and watch the interesting but nice people walk by to the kava bar. If you like to people watch perfect place. Short 5 min. Walk to pier .... great area to walk your dog. Golfport is a different little down but cute and not as busy as other near by areas. Relaxing area to visit.

Great for a quick trip in the heart of Gulfport

For just a night or 2 it was great. The cottage is close to everything and met our needs. It was great to be able to use the courtyard to entertain my daughter and her friends who are students at Eckerd College. My only complaints would be lack of seating (there is only one small couch - no chairs), the AC unit cut on and off all night and the window shades did not block all the outside light out so it was difficult to sleep.

A lovely getaway

Yes, the green cottage is small, but it was perfect for two adults and a small senior pupper for a week's stay. It was clean and comfortable, and owner David responded quickly when we had a problem with a dripping A/C unit. Close to the Village Courtyard and Waterfront. We walked almost everywhere, and enjoyed listening to music from the North End Tap House and Kitchen stage every evening. Locals were friendly! St. Pete and St. Pete Beach are a short drive away. Street parking is hard to come by at certain hours so the alley-side parking was a blessing. We loved our stay, hated to leave, and already know we will come back again if David and Margaret will have us!

Just wish the cottage was a little bit further from the noise of Beach Ave. Then again, someone else might treasure the proximity.

Gulfport Getaway

Three women stayed four nights. It was a little tight but as we are all good friends we were able to pull it off. The cottage is snug but well-appointed. We could have used a few more wall hooks or shelves for our belongings, but it was as described. We had coffee each morning on the porch and watched the friendly neighbors walk by our cottage. I would visit again. We were a block away from shopping and restaurants. Great location!

Funky Fun

Our cottage in Gulfport was awesome; quaint and cute and very efficient. Not only did we have the space we needed inside the cozy cottage... we also had an inviting front porch to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Make sure you take advantage of the guest bicycles and tour Gulfport. Absolutely adorable!

David & Margaret
We're an international couple, who have lived and worked in New York, London and Paris and have 4 adult children.

We love traveling and have traveled extensively across the US and Europe with HomeAway/VRBO. We enjoy sailing and the beach.

Why they chose this property

The property became known as The Wishing Well as it does have a wishing well on the property. Each house has been beautifully renovated with its own unique features.
The Wishing Well encompasses half of a city block and is a wonderful place to relax or enjoy all the fun and quirkiness of Gulfport! Located in the Art District in Gulfport it is steps to the coffee shops, art shops, restaurants, beach bars and beach.

What makes this property unique

Gulfport is a small city on the west coast of Florida with a wonderful 'Old Florida' feel. Take in a baseball game, deep-sea fishing, sailing, or see the many art galleries, museums, and shopping in neighboring St Pete. Make sure you visit Ft. Desoto Park. It is a 350 acre park on the beach. It has been voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the U.S. and is truly magical at sunrise and sunset. The park is just a short drive from Gulfport.
