Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Owners were extremely responsive. Property was in good shape, clean and all appliances worked well. Beach was just a block from the property and local restaurants and downtown were a quick drive/reasonable walk away. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Edward Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex F. Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Stay! All I can say is WOW! This place exceeded our expectations. Communication with the host was excellent, we received area information, recommendations, and details all ahead of our stay. The place itself close enough to walk to the beach but just tucked away enough to feel slightly secluded. The games are a great added touch and provided a few hours distraction for adults and kids both. The primary and twin beds are by far the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on during vacation!! We were in town for athletic events and the quiet neighborhood made it possible to get rest in the middle of the day. The teenagers napped on the beanbags in the loft and it was the highlight of their trip! Pictures don’t do justice to just how spacious and open this place is. Parking is simple and we had ample space for two vehicles. We were less than 15 minutes drive from anywhere we needed to go. HIGHLY recommend this location to anyone looking to book in the Gulfport/biloxi area! 5 stars all around! ##### Alex F. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimee G. Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Surprise Trip We were in the area unexpectedly, due to emergency change to our travel itinerary because of a hurricane. We chose to shift our vacation here, and our only regret was that we hadn’t found this place sooner! ##### Aimee G. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason M., Southaven, MS Mar 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quick Getaway My wife and I were traveling to Gulfport for our daughter’s softball tournament. The guesthouse was perfect for our family. Plenty of space and close to the beach. Our 6 and 9 year daughters loved the loft! Would stay again. Thank you, Mandy. ##### Jason M.

The house was very clean and well put together for our stay. The property manager was quick to answer any questions we had. The house was super close to the beach, casinos, shopping, and lots of places to eat. We had a great time there and wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again! ##### Casey D.
