Cozy family friendly cottage near Gulfport restaurants
My husband, toddler and I stayed with Tommy and Jody over Thanksgiving 2013 and enjoyed their lovely, sunny cottage and easy interactions with the owners who had the house stocked with all sorts of thoughtful extras. 5 minute drive to the main drag in Gulfport with several charming cafes with outdoor seating. We highly recommend staying with Tommy and Jody if you're visiting central Florida!
Loved this place! The other reviewers have described it perfectly. The only thing I might add is the bikes. There are 4 bikes available and it's way fun to cruise around this little town... not lots of traffic and a bike friendly atmosphere.
Sweet little 50âs style home in quite neighborhood
Owners were fantastic about fixing any little problems that came up. The home has a wonderful back yard with new grill and raised seating area. New washer and dryer. And a cute screened in front porch. Great tv with many sources of entertainment. Close to parks and within walking distance to the beach. We loved it!!
The house was adorable. There were plenty of dishes and things for entertaining. The back yard with three tables and 12 chairs......perfect. Neighborhood was quiet but walkable to the beach and restaurants. Thank you, it was great!
Jody and Tommy went out of their way to make our family visit to Gulfport an enjoyable 4-night stay--starting with helpful tips about local activities for our grandchildren and a smooth check-in at their bungalow.
Their place was clean, comfortable, nicely furnished and quiet and we felt quite safe walking around the neighborhood. The kitchen was small but had adequate glasses, plates, pans and utensils for all our cooking needs and the single updated bathroom worked fine for our 3 adults and two children.
The location was great and only 4 short blocks from the Clam Bayou Nature Park, where we walked, fished, and watched the birds, boats, and fireworks. The Gulfport Community was fun to explore with several parks and playgrounds, an interesting history center, an award-winning public library, a unique dance hall, a long fishing pier, an active recreation center and several welcoming restaurants.
In short, it was a memorable 4th of July vacation!
We were extremely happy with our Gulfport accommodations for two months. Tommy and Jody are fabulous hosts! They responded to our needs very quickly and return all calls/texts almost immediately. It is obvious they want their guests to be comfortable!
When we arrived, the house was spotless with many essentials available. The kitchen is well-stocked; I baked for the first time ever in a rental unit! The beds are extremely comfortable with good quality bedding. The living room is very comfortable and the screened front porch is great for relaxing with a good book!
The fenced-in yard was perfect for us and our dogs. There is a large backyard deck and grill with plenty of propane.
Gulfport is a great area. We had a wonderful time in this fantastic neighborhood. We canât wait to return. Thank you, Tommy and Jody for your outstanding hospitality!
A nice place to stay with your dog: quiet, comfortable, convenient, clean. Our mutt enjoyed walking in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the easy access to downtown Gulfport and the short drive to the beach.
Tommy amd Jody were gracious hosts. The home was perfect, clean, and comfortable.
My wife and I stayed here for 6 weeks and absolutely loved the neighborhood and town of Gulfport. Highly reccomend if you are seeking somewhere to stay on the Gulf side of Florida.
The home has a nice livingroom and perfect sized bedrooms. Kitchen had all we needed.
My wife and our dogs really enjoyed our stay. We walked the dogs every morning down by the marina to the Clam Bayou Nature Park. We were there to see the Dali Museum and the Chihuly Collection which were less than a 15 minute drive away. My wife needs it really quiet to sleep and it was quiet as advertised. Sitting out on the deck was nice for happy hour. We plan to be back to explore more of the area.
The house is set up perfectly and is cozy and comfortable. The location is superb, as it is so close to the Gulfport waterfront district. The town is not a touristy venue, but is a nice community filled with great restaurants, small artsy shops and a great beach area.An easy drive to watch the sunset over the ocean. We were very sad to leave and plan to come back to this spot again
Wonderful house with three bedrooms with large beds. Hosts were easy to contact and responded quickly to questions. Quiet neighborhood. Perfect walking distance to shops, restaurants, the pier, and the beach. Everything was very clean. Modern amenities. Made us feel at home. Would definitely stay here again.
Thanks !!

We had a wonderful stay in Gulfport. The house is clean and well equiped with everything you need. It is a short walk to town or the marina but far enough to be quiet. We and our dogs enjoyed the fenced back yard and multitude of parks in the area.
Gulfport is an amazing little town with a very eclectic vibe. We really enjoyed the Tuesday market & Art Walk. Every person we met in town was very friendly and helpful. Itâs very pet friendly, always a bowl of water to be found in town and pets are welcome at all of the outdoor cafes we visited!
