Blue Hen Bungalow

my family and I enjoyed the place. the pool was the best park for us cause of the kids. couldn't keep them out of it, which made our time more enjoyable. house was just enough room for 5 people to feel comfortable.

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).

Everything was great and was as described, no surprises. Definitely would stay there again.

The property was outstanding!

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!

This is my absolute perfect vacation spot. I love the location, the people in this small town are wonderful, the house and pool are great. The beautiful white beaches of the Gulf are close and so many places to sightsee. But this quiet, beautiful little town and wonderful restaurants is perfect. I’m coming back next year.

The house is spacious and comfortable with a screened in pool. It is literally right around the corner from downtown Gulfport.

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.

Lovely home on a quiet street walking distance to downtown Gulfport with all that it has to offer. The pool was great to come back to after exploring Gulfport, St. Petersburg and St. Pete Beach.

Clean, well equipped. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. Our second stay here. We like this house and we like Gulfport!!

Perfect location to walk to all the fun & charm of Gulfport! The Bungalow is welcoming, clean & very quiet. I would stay there forever ;) The only downfall was the pool wasn't heated & too cold to use in January.

This was a very cute little old-fashioned cottage in a great location.
PROS: It was very clean and had great decor (very homey & cozy, soft lighting). The kitchenware was very good as well (silverware/knives & bakeware (but needs liquid measuring cups!)). It was so close to nice shops and the beach, just a short 2-5 min walk. It was next to a small auto-body shop but surprisingly there was hardly any noise coming from there at all. The pool was great and had lots of floats for the kids to play with.
CONS: One of the toilets leaked from the bottom (not fun to find out walking around w/o shoes), but they did get a plumber over the next day and it was fixed with no further issues). Needed more blankets! (only 2 blankets for the house (other than the thin bedspreads) so i gave the kids the blankets and used towels on the bed at night). Needs hand soap pumps (it just had cheap bar soap at every sink, so i bought some cheap plastic hand soap pumps). Needs better lighting in the kitchen (couldn't see what you were doing over sink or stove). As with most rentals, it could benefit from plastic food storage bags and close pins to close food in bags.
Overall, though, it was a cute little house that we enjoyed staying in!

The pool was perfect size and temp. House so close to beach and town. Charming!

We absolutely loved our house. The space was clean and cute and beachy. It felt relaxed and casual, but still very nice. I think maybe tranquil is the right way to describe it. The pool was really just the best. We were in it, or by it pretty much all day. And we were so happy with the location. All the Gulfport shops and coffee shops, and restaurants were less than a block away - we walked everywhere! Every one of us would go back in a heartbeat.

We had such an amazing time staying at this house. Gulfport was a quiet artsy town. The house is on the main road that leads to the beach and there are little unique shops and restaurants on both sides of the street along the way. The house was perfect for our family of 4. It was updated and had everything we needed. We spent most days in the pool, which was amazing! The kids loved the rafts. And when we decided to venture out, St. Pete Beach was only a 10 minute drive. We will definitely look into booking this house again!

Blue Hen Bungalow was a great place to stay. It has everything you need right there and the pool was terrific! I would highly recommend it for your next visit to Gulfport.

The rental was perfect. The location was just a few blocks from wonderful restaurants and the beach. It was great to relax in the pool at night. Weather was perfect with a wonderful breeze.. Gulfport has a warm and friendly atmosphere.

This rental was perfect. Great location. Everything we needed. Enjoyed the pool every evening to relax and review our wonderful day. I’m doing this next year.

This was the perfect vacation rental. Everything you would need Close to wonderful restaurants. Few blocks to Gulfport beach and a wonderful pool to relax in after a wonderful day. Enjoyed every day. Would definitely do it again

I can't say enough about this wonderful cottage. Clean, comfortable, quiet and yet steps away from the lively town of Gulfport. It's spacious and well appointed and the pool is enclosed and private. The town is eclectic and fun filled with shops, restaurants, and especially music. It's my choice for the perfect vacation.

The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an outstanding stay at the Blue Hen Bungalow. Kids enjoyed the pool and met new friends nearby while Mom and Dad worked remotely. From this location, a quick easy walk to restaurants and boutiques in colorful Gulfport.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Hen.The house had everything we needed The pool area was a special treat.Being so close to the main shopping and dining district was very nice. We could walk everywhere. Great area for cycling too!We will return in 2023!

Spacious and clean, well equipped property with a very nice outdoor space. Restaurants and shops in walking distance and delightful Farmer’s Market. We hope to return again.

Loved the property and location.

This bungalow was a great place for the two of us to stay. We loved the proximity to the waterfront district of Gulfport. The house was super nice and we enjoyed the pool and backyard a lot.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay . Hope to return next year.

very nice. only 2 words to describe the negative POOL HEATER

Very quiet and comfortable, as well as private destination, close to many beaches, restaurants, and steps to artsy downtown Gulfport. I wish the pool was heated-

Beautiful home fully appointed in great Gulfport. Nice pool and yard, grill, table. Definitely rent again and highly recommend!!

Excellent vacation home in great Gulfport . Lovely pool area, fully equipments for living. Clean , sunny and location by downtown. Definitely will rent again and highly recommend.

Wonderful location, great house, enjoyed the pool!!! Well furnished and well equipped! Would definitely like to come back!

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.

I was in love with this Bungalow from the moment I walked in the door. First impression? Super duper clean. It was really comfortable and spacious since there were only two of us. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of extra bedding if we needed it. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved the back yard even though we couldn’t work out how to turn on the fire pit. We spent a lot of time out back by the pool which was delightful. Location was wonderful. The shower with the tub could do with being fixed but the other one was great and it as no hardship to use that one. All in all we had a really positive experience with the house, Gulfport and our wandering further afield.

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.

We had a fantastic 2 week stay at the Bungalow! It is a charming little home, and it was so very comfortable & welcoming. It is located in the perfect locating for my stay. We were no more then 15 minutes from all of our Florida family homes. So close to the beaches we went to many different and finally picked our favorite Treasure Island @ 104th street.

Manager's Response

The cottage is comfortable, roomy, and well appointed. The screened in pool is a major plus. It's located just around the corner from downtown Gulfport with restaurants, bars, shops, and a beautiful beach.

I’ve been staying in vacation rentals in Gulfport for the past 10 years and this rental was the nicest. Great location and I loved the designated parking. Very clean and well equipped.
