Cottage vacation rentals in Gulfport

Captain Al was great. He was so accommodating . The place was clean when we arrived. . No, it is not fancy but it was so cozy and comfortable. My daughter (14 yr) and I felt right at home. The beach was down the street. The weather did not cooperate and ruined my birthday at the beach but I was content with hanging out in the area. We went to eat at Bob Heilman’s Beachcomber. The food was delicious. I went across the street to the Shipwreck for a couple drinks. The place was cool. I slept like a baby both nights. It is dog friendly so we had our dog with us. We are already planning on returning next month if it is available. It was a good time!

Great old school beach cottage. Perfect for my Son and me. The Capt. and especially the First mate made it 5 stars!

This place felt like a private retreat. The rooms were spacious with a sink, small refrigerator, microwave, comfortable bed, small table and chairs for dining, recliner for watching t.v., and full bathroom including a bathtub. The lounge area was also lovely for sitting to read or enjoy a cup of coffee or tea or do a bit of computer work. Everything was functional and well laid out. We even enjoyed the front porch with chairs for sitting in the morning with our coffee. We were able to walk about 10 minutes to get to many, many restaurants, shops, and the marina in downtown Dunedin. It was just delightful.

Beautiful home, nice & spacious kitchen, and all beach amenities provided. Our family really enjoy our stay, perfect location with really short walk to the beach. Paula was a great host and quick to response. Thank you for our wonderful stay and we will be back.

We had a wonderful time staying here! The location is phenomenal and it was always quiet outside the home, day and night. You can walk to restaurants, bars, shops, and more in less than 2 minutes. Beach access is 15 or so minutes away as well. The home was clean and well appointed for 2 people and the host was always responsive and nice. We were also able to bring our dogs, which we appreciated. We love Safety Harbor and will definitely stay here again!

Our trip was short but Captain Al went above and beyond expectations! Family felt right at home in his cozy cottage. Thanks again Captain Al, we’ll definitely be returning!

Anna was extremely helpful and accommodating for our last-minute trip with the kids. Her place was super cute and very clean and well kept and we would be happy to recommend it to friends and family or return ourselves. Thank you so much, Anna!

We had an amazing experience at Laura’s cottage. The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to beaches, shops, and restaurants, yet in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we felt welcome. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and we really appreciated the photo shoot areas around the house. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

I had a pleasant stay at Dallas’ little cottage. I was traveling alone with my medical foster and felt incredibly safe, even after arriving pretty late. There were guests in the house up front, but were quiet and respectful. The size is perfect for solo or a couple. The decor was tasteful, house was clean (no pet smell) and having a fence was convenient. Loved how walkable the neighborhood was too! It is an older house with typical character-filled imperfections, but I love that vibe and the warmth it gives. As a heads up to anyone unsteady on their feet, the floor does slope in some areas. The only star I knocked for description was for the additional pet rules posted in the house that weren’t in the online listing at the time of booking/stay. Biggest one to note is that pets are not permitted to be on the furniture (understandable, but a surprise). With a velcro dog, that put me in a predicament. If your needs match with the rules, it is a solid choice!

Had a great stay ! Fishing was fun and right across the street Would stay again for sure !

We stayed at Lisa’s place for a little over 2 months. We are from the area, however our home was unavailable. We liked walking the neighborhoods and to the lake each day. Downtown St Pete is about 1.5 miles away, so very nice walk or quick drive. Lots of great nightlife and restaurants there. A 4-5 block walk puts you on 4th with coffee shops, restaurants and breweries nearby. The cottage is also well equipped for making meals at home or relaxing in front of the TV. The patio area was beautiful and well maintained. It’s nice for coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening. King size bed! Big shower, laundry on premises. Everything we needed and at a great price!

Barbara was a great host. She responded so quickly to my questions. Her cottage was immaculate, organized and had everything you would need to feel like you were at home. Location was walking distance to downtown and the Pinellas County Trail was across the street. It was great to be able to have our dog with us. Fenced in area to let him out. Barbara even had dog treats!!

We brought two toddlers to the little pink house, and they just loved it. The kitchen was set up Perfect. The Murphy bed in the living room was a bonus and let us all spread out when it was time to sleep. Eric was nearby in a nearby apartment, and so helpful with everything. The best is he provided just the right amount of beach toys, and two wagons to get toddlers to the beach, which is just a block away. If we would’ve stayed longer, we would’ve Used the laundry, which was lovely We discovered night frogs at the fountain around the corner, and the nature park and playground also just a walk away . Great spot

The location was great. Place was tidy and clean also checking in was super easy. Tons of things to do nearby. Neighborhood was quiet. Host was super responsive and made our stay perfect! Would book this again it’s just as you see!!!

Beautiful little house, only a 1 block walk to the beach. Many restaurants, bars, shopping areas all within walking distance. The sound of the pickle ball players and laughter in the park while sitting on the back patio was a very nice touch! Overall fantastic experience, we will be back!!

Second time staying at the beautiful place! Will again!

3 of us were down there on a golf trip. I found the whole experience seamless, from booking to access to leaving. Jen was extremely responsive (within 30 min most times). The place was spotless and uncluttered. Had the right amount of kitchen ware for what we were looking for and the beds and chairs were comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

The most coziest, CLEAN, beautiful place to stay. It’s a small space, but the amazing skylights on the ceiling and the windows that give natural lighting make the space feel so much bigger. The neighborhood is quiet & peaceful. Really enjoyed how everything was walking distance. Loved going out & coming back feeling like I was right at home. Would definitely love to come back & stay here again.

Amazing location & SUPER clean!! Quiet area, perfect for relaxing, biking, walking, restaurants & enjoying the cute town of Dunedin. Highly recommend & would book again next time we are in the area. Absolutely perfect!

Location was perfect the beach was a block away, John’s Pass was just 5 minutes away aswell as the opposite way multiple shops about 10 minutes away. Lynne had nearly everything provided what you’d need for a beach getaway. Ice chest, sunscreen, chairs, snacks, umbrella, paddle ball game and more. There was even some cooking condiments in the fridge already aswell as chips. Only one thing we were suprised with is sharing the backyard area along with the host. Other than that it was a phenomenal stay and our host was very attentive.

Very clean cute place to stay. Easy beach access. Restaurants are within walking distance. Pool is clean and perfect to cool off in. Great place. We’d stay again.

Very responsive, went above and beyond!

Lisa’s place was perfect for four of us attending graduation in Tampa. The house was clean, very comfortable, and the backyard was beautiful. The extra welcome gifts were a nice touch. Would definitely recommend!

Such a lovely cottage with an unbeatable oceanfront location. The beach is the backyard! We loved the Old Florida feel of the cottage, but it was also very clean and well-appointed. We also loved that there was plenty of beach gear, toys, and games available for the Scruggs Harbor guests to borrow. Morgan is a wonderful host — quick to respond and around if you need her. We most certainly would love to stay here again!
