Milo Inn Aloft is a beautiful and comfortable property perfectly located in downtown Gulfport. Walk to shops, restaurants, and the beach in this vibrant little town. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The deck provides a private spot to relax and regroup. The owner makes himself completely available to answer questions, make recommendations, and insure a lovely stay. We will happily return to this unique and lovely property!

Gulfport is THE BEST PLACE to stay in the St Pete area and we come here from Orlando 3-5 times a year. We have stayed at The Milo several times over the last 7-8 years and it's one of our favorite spots here. The apartment is well furnished, always super clean, and the owners are friendly and easy to communicate with. Comfortable bed, ideal location and full of the charm we live in Gulfport. If you're lucky you'll catch one of the neighborhood kitties in the backyard as you head up the steps. Beautiful outdoor area for grilling The gallery is a bonus - you should stop in when you visit!

Cute and Convenient

Loved staying at The Milo Inn! Being steps from great restaurants and live music of Gulfport was ideal. The village is such a special place, maintaining a laid back old Florida vibe. The homeowner was very easy to communicate with and had great suggestions for restaurants. The rental was charming with its eclectic decor and comfortable bedding. We especially enjoyed the updated kitchen and private deck. We can’t wait to come back!

Great Location, Amazing Host

We stayed at the Milo Inn in Gulfport for a long Valentine's weekend. We enjoyed being in the laid back/artsy community of Gulfport – felt like a world away from downtown St. Pete’s, yet only a 10-15 minute drive. The area has been hit by hurricanes in the past year, and you can feel an energy in the community as it repairs the damage. There was a fun Gulfport night market festival while we were there with musicians and street vendors (made it a little harder to park right in front of the Inn, but was totally worth it for the lively community atmosphere.) The Inn/apartment is located in the back above an art gallery. Both the gallery and the apartment are owned by August Vernon, who is a super-nice guy who takes a personal interest that you enjoy his town. He showed us around when we first arrived, made restaurant recommendations and dropped everything to bring us towels, umbrellas and beach chairs during the weekend. The apartment is decorated in a "beachy" distressed style that works in concert with the area (with a comfortable bed.) We found everything worked as advertised, Vernon was a responsive host and we had a comfortable, enjoyable stay.

This property is a great location in Gulfport! It is close to everything! Stella’s serves a fantastic breakfast with a mimosa flight and the other shops were great too! The place is simple but has everything you need. The bed is extremely comfortable. The owner, August, went out of his way to help print a parking pass for an event. Highly recommend.

Good Time in Gulfport

We have stayed at the Milo Inn about a dozen times for both weekend stays and weeklong rentals. It is always clean and welcoming. The Inn is right on Beach Street - walking distance to some good restaurants and bars (with music). Gulfport is also a short drive to Tropicana Field (Rays Baseball), the St. Petersburg Grand Prix, and many other St. Petersburg attractions.

The Location is Perfection

This property has a great location with access to wonderful restaurants and shops. It would be perfect for a couple because the only bathroom is in the only bedroom. The trundle bed is surprisingly comfortable, the deck is nice and pretty sunrise views from the dining table. I would recommend getting a full length mirror for somewhere in the house, equipping the kitchen with some essentials like non dairy creamer and fixing the lock. It was tricky at times.

Bohemian dream

So beautifully located on the Gulfport strip. Great restaurants with music and markets. Great pickleball just down the street. The Yard was lovely. Beautiful plants, trees and bushes. A deck to sit on and enjoy the sun. A little very eclectic bar in the backyard to sit and have an afternoon drink. Also the front porch was just right to people watch. The building is quiet old but nicely done with everything you need. August, who is host/owner was very responsive and helpful from beginning to end. We will return!
