Neighborhood
Gulfport is a small town with a colorful, hippy vibe. What I love about Gulfport is the mix of people and everyone is welcome. 4 blocks east of the property is downtown Gulfport. Downtown you will find a pier for fishing and a beach area. There are many places to sit and watch for dolphins as well as a small outdoor fitness area next to the water. Downtown has waterfront restaurants, a brewery, coffee shops and shopping.

A few blocks west of the property is Gulfport Marina and Calm Bayou Park. We have a special relationship with Dolphin water tours. 2 hour dolphin tours are available. Last minute tours may be booked at a discounted rate! Clam Bayou park has walking trails and decks on the water. This is the best spot to watch the sunset!

Gulfport is an amazing place to explore. Close by we have St Pete Beach and Treasure Island Beach (appx 14 min) Spend a day at the beach and enjoy waterfront restaurants and the Level 11 Rooftop bar at St Pete Beach. For nightlife we have St Petersburg downtown. (appx 15 min)

Getting around
The house is 4 large blocks from downtown Gulfport. Walking distance is 10 minutes. Clam Bayou park & Gulfport Marina is a 6 min walk.

We have golf carts, scooters, and a car for rent. Uber and lyft available.

History & Reiki
I have enjoyed living in Gulfport for the past 3 months. I have attended many yoga events, reiki sessions, meditations and sound bowl healings. My life has slowed down, my A.D.D has almost disappeared and most importantly, I am able to enjoy the present. By staying with Elevate Spiritual Stays, you will get a list of all spiritual events* that you may attend and a free mini reiki session* if desired. My life has changed by living in Gulfport and attending these events. My goal for Elevate Spiritual Stays is for guests to come, experience a slower side of life. My mission is for guests to come and their life to change just a little bit.

The Spiritual Events list are local events that take place that I have experienced. Some examples include *Monday morning meditation under the tree at the local park
*Tuesday morning Salty yoga at Gulfport beach
*Wednesday sound bowl healing meditation.
*Friday evening Moon Landing Yoga on Gulfport Beach
*Sunday morning Moon Landing Yoga on Gulfport Beach
*Every other Saturday sound beal healing at Vibrant Well Being (weekly acupuncture, energy healing and an amazing Doctor by appointment)

Most of these events are donation based and take cash or electronic payments.

On site services include:
30 min or 1 hr appointments of 1 or a mix of the following:
*Reiki Energy Healing
*Chakra Balancing

Services are available at extra cost. Must Group sessions are available at discount.

Great stay in Gulfport

Laura was outstanding property manager in this lovely house. It was noisy in the neighborhood at times but tolerable and understandable after 2 hurricanes! The house is so close to so many wonderful activities, restaurants, shopping, hiking, bike riding and water sports.We had an outstanding time!

Lovely relaxing stay

Location was perfect for us. The house is super cute, modernized and cozy. Obviously a lot of creative thought has gone into this gem. Outside patio is a very pleasant spot to read. Comfortable beds and inside furniture. We hope to be able to stay here again on future visits to the area.

Very cozy house

The house was very cozy with all of the amenities. It was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Lauren responded quickly to a few questions we had. We are returning in the next few weeks with the rest of the family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Lovely Stay

We had an amazing time at the Zen House! Lauren was incredibly helpful with checking in, and restaurant recommendations in the area. It was nice to have a comfortable home base to come back to while on our trip. Our daughter especially LOVED all of the fun pillows that are in the house. We tried our best to get them back to their correct rooms. Thanks for a great stay!

New year’s vacation

Overall great house and location. About 10 minute walking distance from shops, beach, and restaurants was nice! Would definitely stay here again! Had a little problem with directions getting into house and some Wi-Fi issues but figured it out quickly.

PERFECT!!!!

Thoughtful details and extra services you would never expect to find in a vacation rental! We were able to rent a golf cart (on site) and travel the downtown Gulfport area, which was sooooo amazing! We also had access to numerous extra services, and we chose Reiki, which was the perfect reset 🙏 The host was out of this world! Attentive and informative, and a very sweet person on top of it all. We absolutely intend on revisiting this EXACT place in the future ❤️

Great spot, but needs a couple fixes

This home has a fun style. It has everything a couple or family would need for a few days. That said, a few updates would improve the experience and is the reason why this home gets 4 stars instead of 5.Front bedroom is a sunroom with lots of light. This room has only roll-up bamboo porch privacy shades that let in the light even at night from the streetlights beaming in. This is great for the daytime but disruptive for sleep without actual curtains.The room and others have crank windows which are typical of older Florida homes. Unfortunately, one of the windows (right behind the bed) doesn't close completely and let's in cold air. It was rigged up with a board on the outside and I had to fix twice. The cool air (January) wouldn't have been too bad except that the window was also missing a screen making us a little nervous about potential bugs getting in.Anther bedroom also has windows that don't crank easily since the crank is worn out. A little note on the window would be helpful for guests so they know not to open the broken ones. We stayed for over 5 days and needed to change the trash but it was unclear where the outside trashcan. The owner ended up telling us to go through the neighbors backyard and use the trashcan there. Not ideal and felt creepy. Overall we had a great stay, love the location. This house would have 5 stars once the owner addresses these few issues.
