Nice stay in Gulfport!

This property was great! I wish there was a better view of the ocean when sitting on the front porch, but the fans and covered porch were very nice! Owner mentioned installing an outside shower to help with sand from the beach and I think that’s a great idea! The listing mentioned a hot tub, but it’s actually a jetted bathtub. I was hoping for an outdoor one to enjoy the views and let the kids swim a little without all of the sand. Showering off after the beach made the jetted tub a little gritty since it was hard to get it all cleaned out without a sprayer.

Nice location for the Jeeping the Coast event. This is a good location for hanging out in Biloxi,Gulfport,Longbeach and Bay of St Louis. Nice clean and quiet except when the train rolls by. We had zero sales during our 5 day stay at the property.

Nice place!

We enjoyed our brief stay here - big enough to accommodate my family while still feeling cozy. I like it when places offer twin beds in a 2nd room for my college-age children. Kitchen had what we needed - we brought our own food, but there were some basics (I noticed oil and pepper, plus a few other things. We would stay again!

Making Memories

Decided to take my elderly parents, daughter and husband to beach for the weekend. Turned out to be one of the best weekends that we have had in a very long time. We could not have asked for a better host. Mr. Mangen was pleasant, attentive, and accommodating. The home is beautiful and the location is ideal. We look forward to returning.
