  Melanie F from Greencastle, IN recommends this vacation rental

  This was a terrific rental. The house is small, but conveniently arranged. The location is great - midway between downtown and the beaches, and just a few minutes drive down Gulfport Blvd will bring you to two large groceries. Even better, is how convenient it is to "downtown" Gulfport. The house was spotless - not a speck of dust anywhere. Our only suggestion to the owners would be to update some amenities like the 26" tv in the living room, the kitchen needs some more utensils like a crockpot, better baking dishes, etc. But overall, the house was well equipped. We would definitely stay here again!

  A great house in a great location. Would have liked a larger dresser or a second dresser in the master bedroom.

  This home was delightful. Not fancy, but clean, comfortable, cute, and stocked with everything we needed. How nice to be able to enjoy a vacation stay where our dogs were welcome, and where we could walk two blocks to a Gulf-front park in one direction and two blocks to an adorable downtown in another direction. We loved that it was on a brick street in a little neighborhood with a relaxed, artsy vibe. The home's newly renovated large second bathroom off the screened patio was a nice discovery, too.

  a guest from Allison Park, PA recommends this vacation rental

  Stayed for a week at the end of July/beginning of August, 2011. After a rough start, I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the place. Everything inside was clean, uncluttered, well-organized and well-stocked. And the house is on a very quiet brick street,
  a short walk from everything, with no through traffic. A few suggestions. 1) The outside was pitch dark when I arrived @ 9:30 p.m. - both front and back, so I had a hard time finding the place, then finding the back in the alley, then finding the parking space,
  which involved driving over a tree root that felt like I'd driven over a log. Please have someone turn lights on when guests are expected after dark. 2) Exterminators had been there a few weeks earlier and I found 2 very dead, very large cockroaches, one on
  the kitchen counter and one on the vanity in the second bathroom. Please have housekeeping re-check the place the day guests are arriving, especially if no one has been there for awhile. 3) For those of us who come during the rainy (read mosquito) season,
  having the front porch screened in would be delightful, as I really couldn't sit out there at all, even with repellant sprayed all over myself, and the back porch was too hot and airless, even with the fan. Despite my early setbacks, I hope to return soon
  and often!

  Bungalow is "Like New"; "Neat as a Pin". Very well furnished. Modern Appliances. Suggest adding a Canopy in the rear Parking Spot to protect auto from heavy, dirty, tree debris.

• Fantastic! The house is so cute, very clean, and in a great location. The rental process was easy & efficient. Waterfront Vacations does a nice job. Gulport has great restaurants & shops and is so close to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much!

  We had a great time. The property couldn't be in a better location. The downtown area restaurants are excellent as are the residents. We road our bikes and walked everywhere!
  Management was quick to respond to a leaky toilet right before the holiday, and extending my stay a day due to car trouble was easily handled with a phone call. We will obviously be coming back for our next family stay. :)

  We enjoyed the location and the house set up was great. It was well equipped and the interior space was set up to maximize the space.
  We were very pleased.

  a guest from Guelph, ON does not recommend this vacation rental.

  This property was clean, but I was expecting more for the price. Although is says it is "kid friendly", there were no games (not even a deck of cards) for rainy days. There was no dishwasher and no BBQ. The alleyway in the back was very noisy in the morning, and the neighbourhood was a slightly rundown. There was a small beach at the end of the street with a playground for the kids and a pier to fish from. The main street was a short walk away with a variety of restaurants and a great coffee shop. The porch in the back was screened in and completely shaded - the only sun was in the front yard. I was expecting more for the price - we have stayed in other homes for the same price and have had more amenities.

  Janice A B from Tampa, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Our stay at the Bird of Paradise Bungalow was very enjoyable. The bungalow was recently updated, had a great layout for our family and was close to all the amenities.
  
  The only negative comment is there were roaches in the dining room (sunroom). I saw babies and large ones so I think it may be a problem. I would suggest extra spraying in that area.
  
  The rest of the place was very clean and comfortable. We would stay there again.
