The local restaurants are great. I mean it, they're great. There is a lot of variety and the prices are reasonable. But, if you want to cook at home, there are some equally great food stores, like Trader Joe's, The Fresh Market, Earth Origins, or everyone's favorite local grocer - Publix. No smoking on the property, inside or out including vaping. The distance to Boca Ciega Bay is 2 blocks. There is an area where you can go in the water with your dog, and another beach area for humans, only.
This is a wonderful area for walking, whether you want to walk on the beach, along tree-lined streets, or in a park. A dog park is 2 blocks north of us and there are public tennis courts adjacent to it. The Gulfport Museum is adjacent to the tennis courts. Clam Bayou is 5-6 blocks east and you can walk the trails that include several boardwalks out into the mangroves. The other side of the Bayou is a municipal golf course. There are 4 public volleyball courts on the beach.

Great location, and plenty of amenities for the stay. Walking distance to downtown and near the beach. Great local shops and restaurants. There was also a nighttime market while we were there.
Sweet and charming place to stay. Had everything we needed. Love the location, so convenient to all fun activities! We are hoping by the time we return, the beachfront will be repaired. Love Gulfport!
The host, Billie, responded to all our questions very quickly. When the hot water ran out during my first shower, he sent someone to fix the problem. We had plenty of hot water the rest of our stay. The location is excellent. It is within an easy walk of the main street in Gulfport.The master bedroom has a king sized bed, which was very comfortable, but it just fits in the room. I wish there was a way to give a property 4.5 stars. That's what I would like to do.
This was a great space for us. We stayed for a week during a home renovation near here. It was great to stay so close to all the restaurants and shops. The property was clean and so cozy for us. We both worked the entire week.
Everything was pretty great! Laundry worked well, near beach; had beach towels & umbrellas. A few restaurants nearby plus a great ice cream shop. Strong recommend.
A wonderful property that is quiet and comfortable
Although it was me that just traveled this time, I would love to bring my wife back here. It is a beautiful property with a very warm and cozy coastal vibe. Was very clean and a very short distance to restaurants and shops in Gulfport. I can’t recommend this location enough. If you’re traveling to the area, you definitely want to consider this home.
Quiet 1 bedroom within walking distance to the beach and shops in Gulfport
Flight of stairs to a clean and spacious place to stay. The shared patio is very artsy. We came during Christmas. Would love to see the patio with all plants in bloom during summer.

Located in arts district ofGulfport, a lovely and lush older neighborhood,not a high rise condo in sight
A short walk to Boca Ciega bay and Beach blvd, a short drive to St Pete’s beach
My stay was enjoyable. The place is clean. The bed is really comfortable too. Having that much space was great. The location was perfect for walking into the lively town of Gulfport. Communication was a positive.
Bindy's Bungalow was the perfect rental for me and my wife on our (late) honeymoon trip. It offers exactly what you need for the perfect beach vacation. Extremely kind hosts, an abundance of grocery stores and shops around, perfect location to spend time in Gulfport, or drive across the bridge to St Pete Beach. The hosts were extremely kind throughout the entire booking process, and responded to whatever questions we had far quicker than anticipated. Truly one of our best VRBO experiences to date.
Funky lil joint on a quiet street thats close 2 everything i needed during my stay. Enough room for two not to feel crowded, yet not to big for one. Patio area is a plus. It was comfortable, spacious n quiet. Good place 4 a glass of wine n a book. Would recommend 2 others.
Bindy’s Bungalow was amazing beyond expectations. Yes, the place is as listed: whimsical, clean, and very close to the beach and restaurants. But this place is so much more: the patio entrance looks like entering a mini enchanted forest. You can sit outside and see the birds and squirrels.
The apartment has everything one needs, including a fantastic bed and a Florida room.
We cannot say enough about the friendly neighborhood, neighbors, and this amazing place we highly recommend—the best place to stay in the Tampa Bay area.
What a gem! Gulport is an lovely, vibrant, low-key and artsy community while Bindy's Bungalow was the PERFECT place to explore from. First of all, the location is ideal. Just far enough from all the restaurants to feel secluded yet close enough that you can walk to everything. The descritption is very accuarte. The property is lovely. It's on the second story of a 2 story house and you have the entire second floor to yourself. Private entrance. Very lovely garden/courtyard. The kitchen is small but has everything! We cooked breakfasts and would go out for dinners into town. The living room was very nice and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Most importantly, the host was fantastic. Every question I had - I got an immediate response to. LIterally the "host" with the "most"! Thank you Billie for making us feel like we were staying with friends! This is truly what VRBO should feel like! We loved our stay and really enjoyed the small community of Gulfport FL!
Bindy's Bungalow was clean and comfortable. It had all of the comforts of home. Fresh paint and modern decor gave this little 2nd floor cottage space a cool vibe. While at the Bindy cottage you have access to a little tropical patio area where you can enjoy the sun or shade. It was also a nice spot to have your morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The ocean, shops and restaurants are just a couple of blocks away which was so convenient. We rented bikes which helped us get to know the lay of the land. St Petersburg beaches are within a 15-minute car ride from the cottage. The Bindy Bungalow is truly a special place to get away from it all!
This apartment was great for exploring downtown Gulfport on foot. Almost everything we needed was within walking distance. It was also easy to use public transportation to get to St. Pete beach and downtown St.Petersburg. It was very clean and great for two people. I just wish the living room furniture was a little more comfortable for relaxing in the evening. Overall it was a great place to stay.
Our stayed was enjoyable. Instead stay for a week, we have to cut the trip short in 4 nights because of tornado Helene. The condo is old but has everything you need. Everything worked properly. Communication with the owner was good. Mr Billy answered my calls right away. Short walk to the bay and short drive to the beach. I would stay again.
This is an unbelievable gem of a rental. Located about a 3-minute walk to Gulfport. The 1 bed 1 bath rental is perfect for 1-4 people. The apartment is very well maintained as is the whole property. All the neighbors are very nice. The owner and his team are very responsive. If you want the Gulfport experience this is the place for you. You won’t be disappointed.
