Property details

Gulfport is known for its funky, eclectic vibe, and this home is just as fun! The colorful, beach interior is warm and inviting, perfect for families or couples (and their four-legged friends). So grab the crew, and enjoy your Getaway! Pool is heated upon request from Nov 1 to April 30 to a temperature of 80 degrees for a surcharge of $20 per day. Max $400 per month. Living Spaces You won’t believe how spacious this home feels! Two separate living spaces offer plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The main living area is open to the kitchen and features comfy couches to sink into as you enjoy the AC after a hot day in the Florida sun. From the couch, you’ll have a great view of the pool area, so you won’t have to miss any of the action even when you’re inside. There is also a work space (and WiFi) if you need to check in while you’re away. The second living space is perfect for when you need a little time for yourself (or to tuck the kids away). With an incredibly large flatscreen TV and comfy seating, it's the perfect place to watch a favorite movie or show. Kitchen and Dining Try out some fun new recipes in the fully-stocked kitchen, with its vibrant colors and funky decor. There is plenty of counter space for meal prep, and a peek-through wall opening with a counter to make serving drinks easy. Steps from the kitchen is the dining table with seating for six. Bedrooms and Baths The split floor plan makes it easy to find privacy from others in your group. On one side of the house, you’ll find two bedrooms and one hall bathroom for them to share. On the other side of the house is the third bedroom, with the second bathroom nearby (through the second living area). Two of the 3 bedrooms have their own flatscreen TV so late-night show watchers will be all set. Bedroom 1: King bed Bedroom 2: King bed Bedroom 3: Queen bed Bathroom 1: Shower, single vanity Bathroom 2: Shower, single vanity Outdoor Amenities The huge backyard is a gem! You won’t need to leave to feel like you’re on vacation. Let the kids and dogs run around the large grassy yard while you sunbathe on a lounge chair by the pool. It’s completely private, with plenty of vegetation and a privacy fence separating you from the neighbors. And if you’re not into the sun, there is a ton of shade on the covered patio, complete with ceiling fans to keep you cool. Whether you’re reading a book on a lounge chair or dining al fresco at the four-seater dining table with string lights providing the ambiance, the covered patio makes indoor-outdoor living simple for everyone in your party. Around the Area Gulfport has been called a lot of things, but boring isn’t one of them! It has been referred to, in no particular order, funky, eclectic, artsy, charming, progressive, welcoming, warm, and even weird. It proudly accepts all of it! The downtown is small, but exceptionally welcoming. You won’t find any chain stores, or parking meters, but you will find beautiful old oak trees dripping in Spanish moss. And you will definitely find small-town friendliness and warmth. Beach and Shore Boulevards are at the heart and soul of our historic downtown area and are directly situated on scenic Boca Ciega Bay. Those downtown shops are all independently owned and operated and feature works of local artists and artisans, as well as clothes, books, gifts, home decor, and more. A concentration of more than a dozen restaurants in the village has made Gulfport a premier dining destination. You can find anything from a burger to fine dining. Visit the nearby Pinellas beaches in Pass-A-Grille, St. Pete Beach, and Treasure Island for a fun beach day. Our home is also only a few blocks away from Tomlinson Park and the Gulfport Spur to the Pinellas Trail. Things to Note Pet Friendly (with fee). No cats please. No smoking/vaping. No parties or events. The yard is fenced, and there are audible alarms on all windows and doors leading out to the backyard and pool area. However, there is no additional fencing between the house and pool. Ring video doorbell onsite. Reservations require the completion of a signed rental agreement including your credit card details within 48 hours of booking or before arrival, whichever is earlier. You are entering into an agreement with the property manager/Gulfport Florida and Splashy is the merchant of record for rent, taxes and fees. Minimum age to book this property is : 25

We had a wonderful time with the family. Was a great house for us to relax and use as home base. Elizabeth was incredibly easy to work with.

Great house with lots of little things that made us feel at home! The pool area was tranquil and fun! The neighborhood was quiet and not far via car to lots of great restaurants, grocery stores and such. Next time we stay in St. Pete, we will definitely try this place again!
