We stay at the Milo Inn on every one of trips to the Gulfport/St. Pete area (if it is available). The inn is in a great location (near restaurants and lots of live music) and it is an easy drive to St. Pete (museums and the Rays).The Milo Inn is clean, nicely decorated, and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We plan to stay there many times in the future.

Milo Inn Aloft is a beautiful and comfortable property perfectly located in downtown Gulfport. Walk to shops, restaurants, and the beach in this vibrant little town. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The deck provides a private spot to relax and regroup. The owner makes himself completely available to answer questions, make recommendations, and insure a lovely stay. We will happily return to this unique and lovely property!

We loved the Milo! The space was very nice, and we especially loved the patio. The location was awesome, just a couple of minutes walk to the beach, and right downtown. The bed was super comfortable. August was so nice, and was always available if we had questions.

Gulfport is THE BEST PLACE to stay in the St Pete area and we come here from Orlando 3-5 times a year. We have stayed at The Milo several times over the last 7-8 years and it's one of our favorite spots here. The apartment is well furnished, always super clean, and the owners are friendly and easy to communicate with. Comfortable bed, ideal location and full of the charm we live in Gulfport. If you're lucky you'll catch one of the neighborhood kitties in the backyard as you head up the steps. Beautiful outdoor area for grilling The gallery is a bonus - you should stop in when you visit!

As so many other reviewers have commented, this was a 10 out of 10 experience! This is a charming, beautiful place which well-representes the beachy, bohemian, artistic vibe of Gulfport. It was exactly what you would hope to find in this quaint, historic and laid-back neighborhood. The photos are perfectly representative of the property. We loved having our 2nd floor, shaded patio and also enjoyed sitting on the main house front porch to people watch and enjoy a beverage - it was like stepping back in time when neighbors waved and smiled - everyone in Gulfport is happy and having fun (tourists and locals alike). As others have also stated, the bed is SUPER comfortable - no expense was spared on that bed! Communication from the host was flawless, check in and check out was seamless and included all the southern hospitality and grace you could ask for. We will absolutley return! :)
