About this property

Close To The Beach - Pets Welcome!

This great 3 bed / 3 bath unit has everything you need for a relaxing vacation near the beach. Room for 8. Fenced in back yard with deck and pergola. Love to golf, gamble or just stroll the beach- this is the place for you!

Set sail on a Biloxi Shrimping trip: Shrimp guides take guests on a real shrimping expedition through the gulf. Visit a water park: Gulfport waterparks are fun and exciting places to cool off during a hot afternoon, especially if you are traveling with children. Best of all not crowded.

Great Seafood and more- check out Gulfport! The children's museum it's top notch and close by. Outlet malls, fun events, concerts, all close by. New Orleans is a little over an hour away and a great place to visit for a day trip. Two parking spots in gated community. Dogs are allowed if they are 50#'s or less. Please request permission.

Great place and location to stay

We totally enjoy this condo very roomy. The fenced in backyard was great for the dog. The backyard deck great place to relax. No steps to enter the condo which is wonderful after shopping and there is a whole lot of shopping to be done. The pool is nice. You just turn right to leave the property and there is the ocean. Great place to walk wide sidewalks. Great smells for the dog. We had wonderful experiences with the owner and the property manager, we will be coming back next year!

Gulfport with dogs

This property was very convenient to the beach and surrounding towns. Excellent restaurants and the Aquarium were within a 15 minute drive. The townhouse was generously stocked and had a nice backyard space for people and dogs. I would definitely stay there again.

Third time’s a charm!

This is, by far, our favorite VRBO, overall, anywhere. We have stayed here three times in the past four years. The property owner is a wonderful, friendly lady, who strives to make sure every stay is special & relaxing. Her property manager is great, as well. Their communication is quick & courteous, the townhouse is super clean & comfortable, the neighborhood is close to everything, gated & quiet. We absolutely LOVE staying here! 20 out of 10 stars, all the way!

Weekend in Biloxi

This place was perfect for our little family to stay in Biloxi for the weekend. The house is prepped to sleep many more than 3. The neighborhood is gated, there is a small dog park and a community pool. The other residents/guests were kind and welcoming and the host was communicative and kind. Can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Amy L Knutson

Host profile image
Our family loves to be near the beach so when we saw this great location we couldn't resist! Whether we bring the kids - or my parents - no matter the age - the Gulf never disappoints.
It's a great place to visit, explore or just relax and enjoy the food, fun and family. Come and visit the Gulf- you'll be glad you did!

Amy & Tim Knutson

Why they chose this property

The area isn't crowded and the people are friendly. The food is amazing!
Whether you enjoy golf, the beach, shopping or the casinos- it's all with in a short distance!

What makes this property unique

When we travel it wasn't always easy to find a 3 bedroom/ 3 bath. This great when you are looking for a place for 2 families to stay together. My 3 boys love to visit and a lot of times bring friends!
