Family getaway

My family and I had a great time here. The house was nice and clean. The floor plan gave us plenty of room to relax. I think everything was well stocked.(Towels & Paper products). The house was nicely decorated. Under the house had plenty of space to park cars, play games, eat outside or go swimming. The house is also close enough to walk to the beach or to restaurants in the city of Long Beach.

Amazing place

The house was just like it was listed. It was the perfect place for our family during national cheer competition and family vacation. House owner was quick to respond to anything questions we had. Loved that the beach and restaurants are close. My boys were able to do go down to the pier and do some fishing. We will be back again

Great Stay!

Our family was in the Gulfport area for a baseball tournament and really appreciated the area and this home. The property was clean and had a lot of amenities. The beach and restaurants were in walking distance and "downtown" Long Beach was nearby with some cute shops and restaurants. The area felt safe and home was well equipped. Our kids loved the plunge pool and it stayed shaded most of the day. Laura was very responsive to any questions we had. The only constructive feedback is it could have been clearer that the half bath is downstairs and the charcoal grill was well used and likely needs to be replaced. In summary, we had a great stay and wouldn't hesitate to rebook this home if we come back to Gulfport/Long Beach.

Great stay

Everything was great as always. Will always book the house when we are there. The only thing was the porches were a little dirty and a lot of sand under the living room rug. Again we had the best time and yall are always helpful. Thank you so much.

Perfect place to relax, have family time, and enjoy God’s creation at the beach!

We are a family of 7. We have 5 kids ages 18, 16,15, 12, and 22 months. This was such a comfortable vacation home for everyone! The location is great. So close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. Even if the weather isn’t perfect for the beach, the pool, porches and outdoor area are fun to relax and play games. This home is by far the most well equipped/stocked vacation home we have ever stayed in. These hosts/owners have thought of everything! There was absolutely nothing we needed and couldn’t find right in the home. We also appreciated the high quality mattresses, pillows, and bed linens that we are used to at home. The Smart TVs in each room was also a plus, so that the kids and adults could watch what they wanted to in the evenings. This home itself is beautiful, but is also BEAUTIFULLY decorated with a classy, coastal and airy feel to the interior. There is so much to do! Walk or ride bikes to the beach, splash in the pool, play a game of corn hole, swing on the disc swing, cook out, enjoy the fire pit in the outdoor area, or enjoy coffee on the porch. There is something for everyone at this beautiful vacation home!

Relaxing Stay

We immediately fell in love with this property. The owner was very accommodating and quick to respond to any question. The house is phenomenal with an amazing floor plan and loaded with amenities. We enjoyed the location as it was so close to beach and wonderful restaurants. We loved the pool and spent most of the afternoons lounging on the floats. Hoping for a return visit soon!!!

Very comfortable and relaxing

My wife and I, along with our two kids, 2 & 5, had a wonderful time at this house. The property is practically new and was extremely clean and comfortable. The kids loved having smart TV's in every room with all the streaming services included. My wife and I loved the huge master bath and fully stocked kitchen. The house is in walkable distance to the beach but we found ourselves exploring the numerous beaches that are all within a 5-10 minute drive from the property. If you are looking for low key, non-crowded beaches this area is the place to stay. It was very relaxing not to have to fight the crowds. The best part about this house is that when the kids (or Mom and Dad) got tired of the sand, we could retreat back to the house and keep swimming in the plunge pool on this property. The outdoor area next to the pool was fantastic. I would usually fire up the grill in the evenings while the kids were still swimming and could watch them the whole time. This property even has a TV downstairs in the outdoor area, although we did try to unplug as much as possible. I can't say anything negative about the house and would stay here again next time we are in the area.

The Best!

The house and property is very well maintained with lots of amenities. The rooms are spacious, well decorated, and very clean. We love the seating area inside the pool with plenty of room for our grandkids to play. The covered patio area provided plenty of shade and comfortable seating. There is an outdoor sink, private restroom and refrigerator inside the pool house, and a charcoal grill for outdoor cooking. The owners are very accommodating and quick to respond if needed. The best place to stay in Long Beach!

Relaxing Family Getaway

We had a fantastic time. We were able to go enjoy the surrounding towns, day trip into New Orleans, and explore the beach areas with a short walk. The house fit our family perfectly and we were able to stay in and just relax on our off days. We would definitely like to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Quint's Cottage

When we think of relaxing, we think of salt air, warm breeze and water views. This home was years in the making and we want to share our love of the gulf coast with you! South of I-10 is another world full of culture, life and lagniappe.

Why they chose this property

There is shopping, dining, fishing and the beach within a few blocks. Very convenient to New Orleans, international airports, Bay St Louis, barrier island fishing, breweries (Chandeleur, Southern Prohibition, Abita) Casinos and more! A hidden gem!

What makes this property unique

Hurricane Katrina reduced the town of Long Beach and today, 15 years later there is a new generation of life and renewal.

Since staying here, we bike everywhere! Dinner on Jeff Davis, DJ and karaoke 🎤, everything is within arms reach and bikeable. Love this life, feel like I’m on Martha’s Vineyard in a Hollywood blockbuster, surreal. Also, I love that my friends and family want to come visit because its such a cool location! Bonus!
