What's Nearby?
Gulfport has been called a lot of things, but boring isn’t one of them! It has been referred to, in no particular order, funky, eclectic, artsy, charming, progressive, welcoming, warm, and even weird. It proudly accepts all of it!
The downtown is small, but exceptionally welcoming. You won’t find any chain stores, or parking meters, but you will find beautiful old oak trees dripping in Spanish moss. And you will definitely find small-town friendliness and warmth.
Beach and Shore Boulevards are at the heart and soul of the historic downtown area, which is directly situated on scenic Boca Ciega Bay.
Those downtown shops are all independently owned and operated and feature works of local artists and artisans, as well as clothes, books, gifts, home decor, and more.
A concentration of more than a dozen restaurants in the village has made Gulfport a premier dining destination. You can find anything from a burger to find dining.
Make sure you’re here for our bi-monthly Art Walk, on the first Friday and third Saturday or each month. And while you’re at it, grab your grocery bags and head over to Tuesday Fresh Market for fresh fruits and veggies, breads, cheese, seafood, honey, plants and more, all from local vendors.
Gulfport is a beach town with something for every season, every reason, and every visitor. .
The owners of this property are New England natives, who visited Gulfport in 2020 and then found this gem while they were on vacation and bought it on the spot! The home is charming and has been expanded to include a dedicated dining room and a Florida room. The detached building has been converted to a separate living space with a bathroom and laundry and christened The Parakeet.

This little house and yard were absolutely perfect for my husband and I and our two dogs we can stay. It was a short drive to Fort Desoto State Park where we had an event to attend. The house was surprisingly roomy on the inside and the fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and close to the Gulfport tourist district. The communications from the host, checking and check out procedures were great.
I'm not exactly sure what this review meant but this couple has stayed in three of our homes at various points during the past year and were great guests each time!
Love the Florida room, the desk and chairs, and comfy living toom

Thank you Ray. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Florida room, desk, chairs, and cozy living room. We're glad you had a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and we hope to host you again in the future.
The property was run down and in disrepair. The fence gate was falling over and we had to prop it up with various items we looked for. The fence had significant gaps at the front of the house. We had to take our dogs outside on leashes….not what we expect when a fully fenced yard is advertised. The bathtub was very slow to drain and we were standing in water above our ankles by the time the shower was finished. The upholstered furniture was very dirty. A window pane was cracked and on some windows was written “do not open” in Sharpie marker. There was wooden dowel in one of the windows because the lock was broken. The vegetable drawer in the fridge was broken and it was constantly filling with an inch of water. There was no electrical outlet in the bathroom. I had to dry my hair in a bedroom. The host texted me non-stop to tell us to take out garbage, let lawn crew in, etc. I even got a text at 3am! I have stayed at many VRBOs that were great. This one was beyond disappointing, it was the worst and a total misrepresentation. Places like this give VRBO a bad name. They should be removed from VRBO.
We stayed during the 4th of July weekend, and everything was perfect. The house is within walking distance to downtown Gulfport, and only 10 min to the beach, and close to downtown St Pete. We were in the perfect spot, close to all of the places we wanted to go. Elizabeth was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Would recommend this place to anyone.
Gulfport has a strong hippy beach vibe, and this house is a delightful part of that. Houses in this area tend to be two-bedroom beach bungalows. With the addition of the converted outbuilding to a third bedroom and laundry, this property provides a lot of flexibility for a family stay.
The house is walkable to the Clam Bayou marine reserve for kayaking and to Gulfport's quaint downtown and beach, with its beach bars, gift shops, breakfast restaurant, coffee shops, and nicer Italian restaurant. Overall, the house is a great spot for a family beach getaway.
Really a two bedroom one bath house with a bedroom and. bathroom built into the existing garage. Along with a laundry set up next to the bathroom.
All problems were promptly addressed.
Would recommend this place. Close to Gulfport beach and town proper.

Thank you Tony. The only issue that came up was a clogged food disposal, which was cleared out. And for clarity, there are a total of 3 bedrooms. Two bedrooms and a bathroom in the main house, and a 3rd bedroom plus bathroom with shower, sink and toilet and laundry (full-size washer and dryer) in the back converted garage.

Reviewer Comments:
We've been to Gulfport before and just love the town and its amenities (market day, restaurants, beach & parks). It's an easy drive into St. Petersburg with great museums, parks and preserves. The Peaceful Parrot and Parakeet was exactly as pictured. Everything, from paper toweling to shampoo to laundry soap to coffee filters, was already there. We immediately felt at home in the space. Even the bed was perfect for us! Everyone knows about the Dali Museum but don't miss Imagine Museum, Chihuly Museum or Duncan McClellan Glass Gallery. We loved Mangosteen, Engine No. 9, Mio's and (fried chicken) Urban Brew & BBQ restaurants. We hope to be able to return to The Peaceful Parrot for another fabulous stay!

This house has everything you need. Private back yard. A little patio in the front also.too. Very clean. The host, Beth, was so kind and was always there when we needed her. We never had issues at the house. We needed assistance with reservation forms. The neighborhood is very quiet. When we rent next time, we would like to be in walking distance to the restaurants and beach. You can walk to the shops and beach, but nit carry all the beach chairs and such. We were always able to find parking at the lovely beach, but would have been better if we could have walked.
Nice quiet neighborhood close to marina. We really enjoyed the screened porch at the back. The only small negative was that the mattresses were too soft which was hard on my back.

We had to get a rental when another booking was accidentally unavailable. Even though it was evening Beth worked it out so we could get in that night. She was super responsive to my many inquiries. The place was just as described, cute and clean and fully supplied. We only had one issue and it was taken care of ASAP. Just an FYI that this is more of a business venture than a home share, and as such has quite a comprehensive contract to go along with it. I enjoyed the little backyard and enclosed patio in the mornings. The rooms felt spacious. Although we did not use the Parakeet room in the renovated garage, it would work for another 1-2 people who want to be separate from the main group. The Bayou and Marina are just down the road, and is a great place to walk or kayak. It is a bit away from town, but that makes it quieter. I highly recommend "The Peaceful Parrot".
Three of us moved in here for a few days with our two miniature poodles whilst out home in St Pete was having work done on it, and it was perfect. Communication with the manager was excellent. Neighborhood is very quiet with nice walk along the shore to the small nature reserve, and its a very short nice and slow drive to little old downtown Gulfport. The house has a very '1960s vibe' which is in line with what the Gulfport lifestyle is all about.
The property manager, Beth, was so so helpful with our stay! We enjoyed having the fenced in backyard so we could bring our 2 dogs. Beth made the process seamless and stress free. Plus the neighbors were sooo nice too! The area of Gulfport is cute and we enjoyed quick bike rides to downtown Gulfport. 12/10 would recommend staying here!
Super clean, updated and well appointed property. Quiet neighborhood but just blocks from the art district. Lovely walking around area. Definitely will Reserve again.
Property is lovely and has everything you need. Great location. My only issue was the coffee pot It is old and needs replaced so that coffee addicts like me can have many cups in the AM😀

It was a fun and fantastic home and I'd absolutely stay here again.
This is a great place. Location is quiet but close to restaurants, bars and beach.
The property is spacious clean and full of new appliances.
Management comes with a light hand but all and everything you need is provided.
I highly recommend you stay here, except when I return.
