About this property
Family and dog friendly beach cottage w/pool & grill in quaint seaside village
***Just a note*** We only accept well-behaved, non-aggressive breeds. There is an additional Pet Fee, which you will be prompted to add when you book. Sorry, no cats.
This is not your typical rental with hand-me-down everything. From the moment you walk in, you will feel at home in this cozy beach cottage. This lavishly redone home has a spacious master suite with jetted tub and stall shower, plus sliding doors to the heated pool. A privacy fence surrounds the pool with landscape lighting that makes you feel like you're at a 5 star resort. The master has a loveseat, two chairs, a coffee table, and a dressing table, plus a huge Tommy Bahama armoire. Relax in the large living room with wide-screen TV and electric fireplace (no mess, just ambience!), do some quiet reading in the cozy office, or hang out in the pool surround with your morning java & paper. The roomy second bedroom has its own private bath with tub shower. Both bedrooms have high end bed covers. Our small office has a desk, wi-fi, and a 3 in1 printer. There is also a very comfy loveseat, which can be converted into a twin-size bed by adding the third section. The kitchen has the latest appliances and is well equipped for those who like to cook. Don't care to cook? There is a plethora of fabulous restaurants just three short blocks from your door. The screened lanai has many lounging chairs, a table and a grill, plus lots of pool toys for kids & adults alike. Our front porch features a small seating area for two, plus a bistro table under the trees for al fresco dining. Our laundry room was refurbished in Jan. 2019 and is equipped with new washer & dryer, iron and board, and lots of cabinet & drawer space. A quiet, safe getaway perfect for a couple or family where you can walk or bike to everything you need.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Lysa Riggs

My husband, Don, and I are a semi-retired and split our time between two homes in Florida and NC. We enjoy skiing, hiking, boating, fishing, attending theater, opera, ballet, and museums. We love to travel. We strive to ensure that our guests feel as much at home as possible, and try to provide all the info they need to feel like a local almost immediately. Please check out our second vacay property only two blocks away: Bonaire Bahamian Bungalow #993825.
Why they chose this property
This sweet little cottage in a lovely quiet neighborhood is beautifully appointed, yet you can walk a block to the beach or 3 blocks to restaurants, pubs, and shops. EVERYTHING in Gulfport is a short walk away. Take a yoga class, get a massage, have your nails done, get your dog groomed, pick out a book at the library, have lunch on the beach, take a salsa lesson, ride your bike to the market, fish off the pier or just plain relax by our pool and read a book. You CAN have it all:)
