**3-Star Review: Misleading Stay at Sunshine on the Beach - Gulfport, MS**
We stayed here for two nights while evacuating from a Florida hurricane, hoping for a peaceful retreat. I brought my 80-year-old mom and 89-year-old aunt, but the stay turned out to be quite disappointing.
The biggest issue was the constant noise. The house is right by train tracks, and trains pass by at all hours, blaring their horns excessively. On top of that, it’s under a flight path for both civilian and military planes, so the noise overhead was constant. Cars with loud, booming stereos added to the chaos. Even with earplugs and bathroom fans running, we couldn’t get any rest.
The house, while nicely decorated, isn’t elderly-friendly. The front steps are steep, clearly not up to code, and the handrails were loose, making them dangerous. The back steps were slightly better but still concerning for seniors.
The master bathtub drains extremely slowly, leaving you standing in water during your shower, and it takes over an hour to fully drain.
Another safety concern is a door in the laundry room marked "NOT AN EXIT," which leads to a drop with no stairs or railing. This could be very dangerous, especially for kids.
While the décor is lovely, the living room furniture is uncomfortable for anyone larger than a petite size.
I’m surprised no other reviews mentioned these issues. We felt misled by previous ratings and won’t be returning.
