Just bring your clothes and relax!

Everything was wonderful! Lori is a great host and we were so glad to meet her! Nice to know she lives nearby. House was very clean with an open layout. Very comfortable! Everything we needed was close including some great restaurants. The house is well stocked with anything you could possibly need with the exception of the food for your meals. Very quiet and friendly neighborhood. We loved the front porch and people always waving as they walked by. Thank you for the “Things to do” brochure we printed out. Greatly appreciated when planning some of our day trips. We will definitely return next year! Joe and Fran

Very nice set up!!

This house is in a fabulous location, AND it is one of the best equipped homes we have stayed in. The housewares are practical and nice, the only thing we needed to purchase was food. We have stayed at other houses where they left you one trash bag, no beach towels and very little detergent for dishes/clothes. This place is perfect in our opinion. THANK YOU for a great stay!!

Perfect Beach Get Away

Our family stayed at the Magnolia Beach cottage for a week over the 4th of July. It was absolutely perfect! The house was super clean, had everything we needed and was less than one minute from the beautiful Mississippi Coast. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe. We loved the Long Beach area and recommend you hit up the ice cream shop in downtown!

Perfect Vacation Home!

The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our vacation. There were ample towels, kitchen supplies, and outdoor/beach items. The location was ideal to go to the beach everyday and plenty of restaurants and stores were within a short driving distance. The vacation guide provided by the owner was a nice way to learn about the area and all it had to offer. We liked the house so much, we added an extra day into our stay. It was well worth the twelve hour drive and we hope to use the house again for future vacations!

We have been visiting Gulfport for the past 10+ years and this property has been one of the best! The owners were great to work with and the property is in a great location. There were so many extras provided including a shed full of items that came in handy on the beach as well as a grill and full tank of propane. Thanks for an amazing stay!!!

The most perfect family stay

This house was fully equipped for all your family needs for a relaxing vacation with children at the beach! We met up and stayed with my parents here it was so perfect! We had 4 adults, 3 children and a baby and was the perfect size. I packed lightly and only brought our clothes which was the best decision ever. Lori had everything down to a "T" to make your stay feel like home! Anything you'd need, she had. The kitchen was perfectly organized for cooking and storing meals. The bathrooms were decorated with roses that were folded into rags and towels. She had entertainment for our little ones she has everything thought of. Our 2 year old used her stroller, beach toys, highchair, her pack n play and her basket of toddler toys. Oldest kids enjoyed the board games and beach toys as well. This helped us so much! Everything was very well cleaned and big BONUS for me was the house has the best working HOT showers I've had in a long time. We had dishes going, laundry and both showers all going after our return from the beach and the water never went cold. In addition the house has the most perfect porch to drink coffee on and read a book. The back yard had a nice set up for BBQing and even playing in the backyard. We took and used her beach equipment, so, no need to pack that as well. Beach umbrellas, beach chairs, towels, toys, an ice cooler and a wagon was all used. Since we aren't from around this area she had her guided book with reviews for Out to Eat places, things to do, site seeing, plus extra things. We took all her advice and had a wonderful meal at her most favorite restaurant and it Did NOT disappoint. We also took her advice to stray away from the Gulfport Aquarium and instead visit the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and this was a Huge highlight for our trip. 10/10!! If I could rate even higher, I would!

About the host

Hosted by Lori

Host profile image
My husband grew up in Long Beach and we have family here in town. In 2020, our family moved from Colorado to Long Beach and we love it here. We live close by to our vacation rentals and we personally manage them. The beach makes me happy, and since my home is a block from the beach, I'm a happy gal. Our chihuahua also loves living here in Long Beach. Specifically, he loves the hot weather and basks in the hot summer sun all day long. Much better than cold Colorado for him! Our teenage daughter also loves Long Beach. She loves the small town feel and how she can walk to downtown from our home. My husband works from home and we are both happy to be living close to family. We are very happy that we made the move from Colorado to Long Beach. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I can't believe I actually live 1 block from the ocean! Long Beach has so much to offer. We have lots of restaurants and there are cute downtown shopping areas nearby. The casinos offer lots of entertainment and dining options. For families, there are so many activities such as the children's museum, water parks, aquarium, petting farm, Beauvoir, and more. And then you have New Orleans only 1 hour away and Pensacola and Gulf Shores are only 2 hours away. We know you will enjoy Long Beach as much as we do.
