About this property

Close To The Beach - Pets Welcome!

This great 3 bed / 3 bath unit has everything you need for a relaxing vacation near the beach. Room for 8. Fenced in back yard with deck and pergola. Love to golf, gamble or just stroll the beach- this is the place for you!

Set sail on a Biloxi Shrimping trip: Shrimp guides take guests on a real shrimping expedition through the gulf. Visit a water park: Gulfport waterparks are fun and exciting places to cool off during a hot afternoon, especially if you are traveling with children. Best of all not crowded.

Great Seafood and more- check out Gulfport! The children's museum it's top notch and close by. Outlet malls, fun events, concerts, all close by. New Orleans is a little over an hour away and a great place to visit for a day trip. Two parking spots in gated community. Dogs are allowed if they are 50#'s or less. Please request permission.

I ended up not bringing my pet along but the area and neighborhood was great for children and my dog would have loved it the only problem I experienced was the cutting off of roads for a bike race on the strip that truly controls the town other than that we had a blast we will definitely do Gulfport again

Host profile image
Our family loves to be near the beach so when we saw this great location we couldn't resist! Whether we bring the kids - or my parents - no matter the age - the Gulf never disappoints.
It's a great place to visit, explore or just relax and enjoy the food, fun and family. Come and visit the Gulf- you'll be glad you did!

Amy & Tim Knutson

Why they chose this property

The area isn't crowded and the people are friendly. The food is amazing!
Whether you enjoy golf, the beach, shopping or the casinos- it's all with in a short distance!

What makes this property unique

When we travel it wasn't always easy to find a 3 bedroom/ 3 bath. This great when you are looking for a place for 2 families to stay together. My 3 boys love to visit and a lot of times bring friends!
