This home was perfect for our family. We loved having slow mornings and enjoying the pool and spending our evenings at the beach in St. Pete. The short walk to Gulfport to enjoy food, ice cream, or spending time was on pier was a bonus. We hope to return for our next beach vacation!

The house was spacious, well appointed with lots of sitting and living space. We loved that it was a very short walk to the town and an easy drive to St Pete and the beach. We couldn't ask for more

Property was located right near all the shops and restaurants. House had everything we needed and yard/patio were private. Unfortunately a bit too cool to use the lovely pool.

Beautiful place to stay! We loved that we could walk to all the bars/restaurants/ coffee shops in Gulf Port. House was clean … pool was perfect. We usually try to stay in different places each vacation but it’s hard to not come back here next year ! Will definitely stay here again in the near future!

It was a great, relaxing girls' trip. We really enjoyed floating in the pool and just hanging out. We tried many of the bars and restaurants in Gulfport and nearby St Pete Beach and all of them were great. The house was very clean and centrally located. Would definitely go back again.

Loved (almost) everything about our star at the Blue Hen bungalow. The location couldn’t be beat close to everything.. restaurants, music and the beach! Place was roomy, immaculate, fully stocked kitchen, lovely back yard to relax in. Only wish I knew the pool wasn’t heated.

The property was great for our family vacation. With it being deep in summer the pool made it even better especially for our grandsons. It was a very nice & quiet neighbor hood, nice parking room, plenty of household items to keep up after yourselves, & a short walking distance to Gulfport beach. The beach has a park and local shops & bars as well. This is our 2nd year in a row to this area (one block apart).

We enjoyed the property a lot. The pool area was a special treat. The house had everything we needed. The location is perfect. We especially liked walking to the main street to visit shops and restaurants. Shout out to the Gulfport Brewery. Be sure to stop in! We plan to return in 2023.

Overall this is a great place to stay for families or two couples. The house is a short walk to many of the shops, restaurants and bars in Gulfport. The pool is great and the layout of the house, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, makes it easy for two couples to share or easily a family of six using the sleeper sofa in the front porch area. The decor was fun and very tasteful, and the kitchen area provides enough room to easily cook for a family. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, making it a wonderfully restful retreat.

The blue Hen Bungalow was just great. It felt welcoming as soon as you opened the door. The whole house was clean clean clean. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and a beautiful outdoor space. Location was great - so close to the little delights that Gulfport had to offer. And in easy access to St. Pete’s and a short hop over to Sarasota. Would recommend this delightful property highly.
