Great Family Home

This is one of the most welcoming homes we have stayed in when renting a house. The host has thought of everything and is 100% available to you if you need help while staying there. He has set up the house to have all the things you think you might need but might have forgotten! We were greeted with snacks, waters, sunscreen, first aid kit, sand toys, chairs and a great bbq pit. I would definitely stay there again!

Exactly what we wanted and more

John has a very beautiful home and is exactly as described. The house was very clean with a large backyard, brand new BBQ grill, washer/dryer, perfect kitchen with upgraded appliances and utensils. Beach, restaurants and bars within walking distance of the property. John connected with me as soon as we booked; basically touching base on how he could make our trip a great one. Thank you for the stay John, you were a great host.

Detailed

The house had everything as described and the little details were covered too, including coffee, beach stuf, spices, plates, glasses, etc...The owner will meet you at the door and walk you through the house - perhaps a little unnerving for intraverts but helpful nonetheless. I would rent again without hesitation. The community is very friendly.

What a wonderful property!!!

We were so pleased with this property-it was exactly what we needed!!! John was so accommodating-available whenever we had any question. The house is so cute and clean! Everything you need to cook, clean, etc., is available-we cooked at least once a day and had everything we needed. The location is perfect, with close access to the beach, as well as cite local restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here or any of John's properties!!!

Wonderful gem of a property managed by an outstanding owner

We arrived really late at night and were welcomed in person by a wonderful host who gave us a tour of the property and outlined all the local attractions and foods, as well as all his personal recommendations. The property was charming! The bedrooms were comfy and the living area and kitchen were great! Our stay was made all the more relaxing by the fact that there was coffee for the coffee maker, 1/2 &1/2 in the fridge, laundry and dish detergent, and a whole bunch of the necessary spices and house supplies that normally force that midnight run to the store when you first arrive. There were even dog treats and people snacks! The neighborhood was quiet and charming and the beach was a quick walk - as were several restaurants. There were beach supplies on the ready at the property! We’ve found our VRBO of choice in Long Beach and will be back! Thank you!

Great Location, As Billed!

We booked this place for 6 adults, 2 kids, and a dog to celebrate a significant birthday. First, location is great. Multiple good restaurants/bars that are with a few minute walk. Better yet, the beach is a 5 minute walk or so. The house was 100% as billed, clean, and stocked with anything a person would need. John was extremely communicative and checked in several times to make sure things were going well. Definitely would and very likely will stay again! ZERO complaints.

Lovely Long Beach

We really enjoyed our stay at the Long Beach Lodge. The house is almost perfectly equipped. John and his wife included so many thoughtful touches that we really appreciated--hand towels, hand soap, Kleenex--those little extras that you don’t realize you will need or miss until you are at a location which doesn’t include them--John has thought of them all! We also really appreciated the big backyard, the nice dining room furniture, and the kitchen and bedroom amenities. The best part of the rental, though, was of course, the location. We loved being so close to the beach, as well as tons of good restaurants and shops. We highly recommend the scones at the Bank House Coffee--especially the apple cinnamon ones!

GREAT BEACH LOCATION

We had seven people ranging in age from 7 to 75. This property with its easy access to a perfect beach for young kids was fantastic. John has a very well kept home and great supplies for kitchen and typical rental hoe stuff. Besides that he provides beach towels, beach chairs, boogie board, and even plenty of beach toys for the younger people. It is also easy walking distance to several restaurants and other entertainment. Such as the town splash pad and a large playground. This place is a real gem!!!

Amazing Stay

This house is so comfortable and a welcoming space! We had 4 couples and kids. We were all comfortable and enjoyed ourselves. We grilled on the propane grill one night. Mr. John has everything you need for that (grilling tools and full propane bottles) and much more! The house is located within walking distance of a lot of places! The splash pad and drive thru daiquiri place were favorites! The beach is within walking distance but we decided to drive. Mr. John has beach toys and boogie boards to use, so no need to bring any of that! The back yard is pristine! The grass is beautiful and the lighting creates a wonderful ambience! He has worked very hard to create and maintain a beautiful and welcoming space! He also is there upon checkin to give you lots of advice and provides a nice binder with everything you would need as far as information! Cable and WiFi were great too, especially with kids being able to use iPads! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND STAYING HERE! We will be back, no doubt!

There is nothing bad to say about our week long stay , the LB Lodge accommodated 5 adults comfortably. The home was well equipped with all the comforts of home. It is located on a quiet street and within walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants. The backyard is fenced in, which our 2 fur babies loved. John is an excellent host, he met us at the house, gave us a full tour and gave us recommendations on restaurants and tourist sites.

FANTASTIC

It is very difficult to please five picky, opinionated women at the same time, and this home DID! It is so nice to check into a home and not feel the need to immediately leave for the store. We really appreciated having ALL the amenities provided, but since so many other reviews mentioned those (toiletries, snacks, coffee, etc) I'll tell you the one I appreciated the most: Luggage racks in every bedroom. We are old! Not having to put luggage on the floor is a big, big plus for me and one very few vacation rentals think of. Loved it. Also, so often I hear that things are "walking distance." Absolutely accurate in this case! My 88 year old mother and chain smoking sister had no trouble walking to the Daquiri Deck one day and the farmers market the next. Not knowing the area I was also a little worried about not staying IN Gulfport. But Gulfport is a very short drive. And we enjoyed getting where we needed to be (and another couple REALLY good restaurants) just a short drive away. We made good use of comfortable porch and back yard. All very pleasant. Seriously, rent this house. You won't be disappointed.
