We enjoyed our stay for a family wedding, and will for sure be back! Wonderful location and very spacious. We had 4 generations staying together and everyone enjoyed it!
Group of 12 ladies got together for fun. Location close enough to see and walk to beach. Easy to get to Ocean Springs for Saturday market. Patio 44 nearby great for dinner as well.
We had a great time staying in this house. Great location and neighbors are friendly. The host is amazing, and went above and beyond for us. We will definitely be back each year!
Our group of 5 adults, 5 children ages 5yo to 16yo, and one dog had a wonderful stay. Beds were comfortable. We had plenty of space to spread out. Kitchen was well-equipped. The location was perfect for days at the beach and for exploring Gulfport. Rick is a responsive and helpful host.
My family stayed here and cooked a Thanksgiving meal for our Airman son and some of his Airmen friends. There was plenty of room with an open layout and a kitchen big enough for multiple people to cook. Very beautiful place.
The home was more beautiful than photos showed, the spaciousness of home was perfect, the views and location added to a restful and fantastic trip. Local restaurants, Steve’s, Half Shell, and Rack House had our taste buds happy, happy, happy. The host was extremely helpful, gracious and very attentive. It was a wonderful time by all!!
Beautiful home just a walk away from the beach. Close to all the attractions. Nothing more than a 20 minute drive. Great places to eat. Lota of kids attractions. Beautiful sunsets in Bay St Louis as well as delicious ice cream!! Everything was easy!
Than you Rick for sharing your wonderful “Home Away from Home”! The perfect size for our family of 7! The home was exactly as described! Clean, comfortable and very relaxing! We enjoyed the beach almost every day having it pretty much all to ourselves. We tried a few of the local restaurants! (All were delicious!) We took the ferry out to Ship Island and saw dolphins and stingrays and found all kinds of beautiful shells!! Took a swamp tour with Cajun Encounters and saw many alligators! Headed to New Orleans a couple of days and visited the WWII museum (very interesting). Gulfport and this home were the perfect vacation destination! What a wonderful vacation with memories to cherish for a lifetime! Thank you!!!😊
Our family of 10, ages 11 months to 61 years, loved this property. Rick, the new owner, was very accommodating, and has the house is in great shape. While we were there, a new air-conditioning unit was put in for the upstairs apartment that kept it very cool.
We loved how close it was to the beach. Every day we had the beach to ourselves. The sand was white and the water was great. The back patio space is a terrific area to hang out, visit, and have water balloon fights. The front porch was a great place to have morning coffee. There was plenty of room inside for us to spread out. We liked the big kitchen and cooked several meals there. There was a pack and play and highchair for the little one. There are tons of beach toys too. We highly recommend this property and hope we can come back.
Great property and excellent location. This property has an unbelievable view of the ocean. Right out on the covered deck there is a fantastic view. We were not expecting to be that close to the ocean. No need to drive. Our family group of 10 - 5 adults and 5 kids, really enjoyed the house. It was perfect for our group. Really nice bedrooms with comfortable beds - plenty of sleeping area. The separate apartment worked well for our adult daughter and her daughter.
The host supplied Keurig Pods for coffee along with cream and also a coffee pot and other coffee and tea. The living room is as spacious as described. The kids enjoyed the living room and large TV. The kitchen table along with a center island bar more than supplied enough space. Washer and dryer worked well, with an ample supply of detergent. Our family spent a lot of time at the beach and the kids as well as the adults had a blast - just a little sunburnt. There are plenty of things to do, such as the Mississippi Aquarium and some of us even went on a swamp boat ride and tour. We would certainly stay here again for any trip to Gulfport. Fantastic!
The house was plenty of room for our family of 11 and had everything we needed. We loved being so close to the beach! The covered back patio was so nice and we spent lots of time outside. The extra half bath was also a plus with us having so many people staying. We loved every minute of our stay!

Beautiful place. Lots of room. We will definitely be back!
Property was excellent for our family vacation. The house was updated and clean. The kitchen was perfect for making family dinners with plenty of seating. We were able to walk to the beach within minutes. The host got back to us quickly with answers to our questions and was super friendly. We would definitely come back.
We stayed last year. Location great and safe. Room adequate and love that we can park jeeps under the carport if needed. Home is very nice. Close to everything!!
This home was perfect for our family getaway! With ample space for all ten of us, everyone had their own area to relax. The house is well-equipped, so we didn’t have to worry about overpacking. Its stunning design and fantastic outdoor area made it a great place to unwind. We would love to rent this home again next year if it's available! The host was incredibly friendly and quick to respond, making our stay even more enjoyable.
