Such a charming cottage so close to everything!

Bindy's Bungalow was clean and comfortable. It had all of the comforts of home. Fresh paint and modern decor gave this little 2nd floor cottage space a cool vibe. While at the Bindy cottage you have access to a little tropical patio area where you can enjoy the sun or shade. It was also a nice spot to have your morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The ocean, shops and restaurants are just a couple of blocks away which was so convenient. We rented bikes which helped us get to know the lay of the land. St Petersburg beaches are within a 15-minute car ride from the cottage. The Bindy Bungalow is truly a special place to get away from it all!

A wonderful property that is quiet and comfortable

Although it was me that just traveled this time, I would love to bring my wife back here. It is a beautiful property with a very warm and cozy coastal vibe. Was very clean and a very short distance to restaurants and shops in Gulfport. I can’t recommend this location enough. If you’re traveling to the area, you definitely want to consider this home.

Amazing week!

Bindy's Bungalow was the perfect rental for me and my wife on our (late) honeymoon trip. It offers exactly what you need for the perfect beach vacation. Extremely kind hosts, an abundance of grocery stores and shops around, perfect location to spend time in Gulfport, or drive across the bridge to St Pete Beach. The hosts were extremely kind throughout the entire booking process, and responded to whatever questions we had far quicker than anticipated. Truly one of our best VRBO experiences to date.

Anniversary

Our stayed was enjoyable. Instead stay for a week, we have to cut the trip short in 4 nights because of tornado Helene. The condo is old but has everything you need. Everything worked properly. Communication with the owner was good. Mr Billy answered my calls right away. Short walk to the bay and short drive to the beach. I would stay again.

Amazing

Bindy’s Bungalow was amazing beyond expectations. Yes, the place is as listed: whimsical, clean, and very close to the beach and restaurants. But this place is so much more: the patio entrance looks like entering a mini enchanted forest. You can sit outside and see the birds and squirrels. The apartment has everything one needs, including a fantastic bed and a Florida room. We cannot say enough about the friendly neighborhood, neighbors, and this amazing place we highly recommend—the best place to stay in the Tampa Bay area.

Wonderful area

This apartment was great for exploring downtown Gulfport on foot. Almost everything we needed was within walking distance. It was also easy to use public transportation to get to St. Pete beach and downtown St.Petersburg. It was very clean and great for two people. I just wish the living room furniture was a little more comfortable for relaxing in the evening. Overall it was a great place to stay.

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful

The apartment was in 2nd story of house and we loved it. It felt like home! The kitchen had all we needed for food prep and cooking. The king size bed was very comfortable and there was a lovely porch for sitting out and listening to the birds and looking at the trees. We used the BBQ and were able to do our laundry. I would recommend this home to anyone!

Cozy Stay

My sister and I really, very much enjoyed our stay. The property had such a homey, cozy feeling. My sister said she would enjoy living there fulltime. Charm and character describe Seascape Cottage. We visited with a couple who stayed there shortly before us and they described it as "old". Yes, the building is older, but we found it comfortable and a bit like home. Could some things be different, sure. That could be true of any place, but it certainly left us feeling sad to have to leave.

Property excellent/landlord not so much

When I first arrived on New Year’s Eve the TV didn’t work. It spoiled my whole evening plans for that night. The landlord lives in Ca. And isn’t accessible other than via phone. I was on the phone with him regarding this problem and I (not him) was on the phone with spectrum for 4 hrs. I wanted some compensation for doing that and ruining my night. He said sorry but no. Secondly he wants me to pay $300 for a water leak from the toilet. He never asked me directly but I received a bill from him. He called a plumber, which I took time out of my day to meet and stay there while he worked. The plumber told me “it was a problem that started well before my month visit there”. He said the water in Florida is hard on the pipes and it should be a regular maintenance that owners should do. Clearly not my fault. The landlord received a $500 bill from the city due to the water leak and he wants me to pay $300. I am refusing to do so as that problem had nothing to do with me. Rather it was due to his negligence of the property. The property was fine and in a good location. However My vacation was partially ruined by having to deal with the landlord and him not being available for problems as he lives 3000 miles away.

A Gem of a rental !!

This is an unbelievable gem of a rental. Located about a 3-minute walk to Gulfport. The 1 bed 1 bath rental is perfect for 1-4 people. The apartment is very well maintained as is the whole property. All the neighbors are very nice. The owner and his team are very responsive. If you want the Gulfport experience this is the place for you. You won’t be disappointed.
