About the host
Hosted by Patricia Dalton
Since in my 20's, I've owned rental property. I’ve never had children or married; but have strong family values and am the favorite Aunt to my Siblings children. I always liked the idea of sharing my piece of paradise on the River. I knew that most renters would be people, like myself, wanting more than a hotel could offer & would be respectful of the Vacation Home they rented.
I pride myself on offering clean, comfortable, (as advertised) Vacation Rentals. I advertise an exceptional house & strive to not only meet, but exceed expectations.
To insure your stay is perfect (and I continue to LOVE having Vacation Rentals), I have a professional cleaning crew, someone part time for maintenance, and a rolodex of contractors. I handle everything they don’t... Guests, calendars, bookings, you know, the fun stuff.
One I LOVE about the Vacation Rental Industry, is that it allows me to be a bit of a tumble weed. Without a husband or other immediate family, this job allows me unusual freedom, as long as I’ve my iPad and internet.
About the Owner?I enjoy great conversations (can talk your ear off), nature ATVing, friends, cruises, most living things (great & small), learning about people, the world, life. I’ll try about anything on a dare from parachuting or swimming with sharks (yep, I’ve both of those things).
I will tumble weed, at a moments notice, to far flung regions, for adventure, a memorable experience, or on a dare :). Passport at the ready.
I am down to earth, a roll up the sleeves & get 'er done kind of gal.
Why they chose this property
Since 1996, I've enjoyed many weekends on the Biloxi River. Swam at the very beach you might decide to at the River Lookout. Because a previous owner had built up the land, this was about the only house sitting right on the ground. After Katrina, the City wanted me to tear it down. Thanks to a very creative Contractor, who suggested raising the roof and building the new house on the brick walls, I not only gained some much-needed storage (the old house is now a garage) but was able to completely redo the house's layout. I also added a large deck. In 2015, a 14 ft x 28 ft in-ground swimming Pool and Hot Tub was added. Also above the massive upper deck, a 60 ft x 18 ft long roof was added. This roof is a great cover for the upper deck and under that deck (ground level). Under the covered roof, I put a pool table.... but by 6/2023 even being under cover, outside had not been good for the pool table.
In 2022, always looking to add a cool amenity, I started work on the Game Room and 6/2023 Opened it (a little sooner than I wanted) to guests. At the end of July I promoted it as open on VRBO.
Why This neighborhood? Its sparsely populated, close to everything, offers an incredible way of life (nothing can beat River Life!) Our neighbors are mostly retirees and the neighborhood is very safe. Neighbors looking out for neighbors.
River Lookout is situated in a unique rural area, in the City Limits of Gulfport, close to I-10, perfect for the Vacationer who wish to headed off to Golf Courses, Shopping, Casinos, the Gulf of Mexico Beaches, which are less than 8 miles away, or one of the 100's of other fun things to do on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
What makes this property unique
One thing I think is pretty unique, the River Lookout looks kind of modest from the street. This is a serious case of 'Don't Judge the Book by the Cover'. The River Lookout is elevated, but because the ground was previously built up, it is not as many steps as other River Front property. There is a large covered upper deck, right out the front door, with patio furniture, ceiling fans, and a luggage lift. At ground floor is a game room with AC in the summer and Heat in the winter. The River Lookout is just a short walk (on a concrete path) to the Biloxi River. The River, it's Covered Pavilion, sandbar, beach (at most low tides), Some guests even bring their boats and tie up a tree (bring a long rope) at this sandbar.
As a 4 bedroom, 4 full bath House, on the River, this is also a bit unique. Most Riverfront homes are very small, often being just a single large room, or having one or two bedrooms and a bathroom. The expense associated with building a Home so far above the ground, often restricts its size. This house is a unique find on the River.
Add to it, The River Lookout, now comes with a swimming pool, It is truly a rare find in Gulfport.
I know of no other vacation rental on the Mississippi gulf coast that offers so much. Swimming pool, optional hot tub, on the River, private River beach, pavilion at river's edge, sleeps up to 16,.. all less than 8 miles from the Gulf of Mexico beaches.... well just one other offers this and more, my 2nd vacation rental #351070, The Great Escape River House, with all the same amenities, and even has a passenger elevator. To top it off, this house, the River Lookout (sleeps up to 16), can be rented along with the Great Escape River House (sleeps up to 27), providing a unique vacation experience for up to 43 people. The 2 houses are within very easy walking distance, even though, they can not be seen from each house. This and more is awaiting you at the River Lookout!
