The host, Billie, responded to all our questions very quickly. When the hot water ran out during my first shower, he sent someone to fix the problem. We had plenty of hot water the rest of our stay. The location is excellent. It is within an easy walk of the main street in Gulfport.The master bedroom has a king sized bed, which was very comfortable, but it just fits in the room. I wish there was a way to give a property 4.5 stars. That's what I would like to do.

What a gem! Gulport is an lovely, vibrant, low-key and artsy community while Bindy's Bungalow was the PERFECT place to explore from. First of all, the location is ideal. Just far enough from all the restaurants to feel secluded yet close enough that you can walk to everything. The descritption is very accuarte. The property is lovely. It's on the second story of a 2 story house and you have the entire second floor to yourself. Private entrance. Very lovely garden/courtyard. The kitchen is small but has everything! We cooked breakfasts and would go out for dinners into town. The living room was very nice and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Most importantly, the host was fantastic. Every question I had - I got an immediate response to. LIterally the "host" with the "most"! Thank you Billie for making us feel like we were staying with friends! This is truly what VRBO should feel like! We loved our stay and really enjoyed the small community of Gulfport FL!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
