Good Location to the Beach, but...
For the price, it was a great property in a decent area. Walk to the beach in 5 minutes or so. 2.3 miles to Shaggy's and about 3 miles to the aquarium and downtown Gulfport areas. Probably only a 10-15 minute drive to Biloxi. There are a lot of trains that go by 2 blocks away and lots of overhead commercial and military plane traffic, so if you are a light sleeper take that into account.

Great Location
This beautiful cottage is in a great location for a visit to the Mississippi gulf coast. It’s located in Gulfport, which is close to Biloxi, Pass Christian, and even Bay St. Louis. The cottage itself is about 1 1/2 blocks from the beach. There are restaurants nearby. The cottage is furnished with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed our time there and would definitely stay again!

My only concern was that the floors were very dirty I always go barefoot inside and my feet were black within seconds
Other than that and the beach not being what I expected which is not the responsibility of the property it was a nice day

Cute house
Redone older home. Charming. Drawback-train two blocks away that blows its whistle as it goes by, day or night. Luckily, I believe there is only one train late at night and one EARLY in the morning. The others don’t matter, even though you can feel the house vibrating-interesting experience that. It is only a 4 minute walk to the beach on which you can walk for miles if you want. Great restaurants for lunch and dinner, not much for breakfast. Lots of local art and museums to see. Casinos abound, if you are into that. Ocean Springs is a must see!

Great stay
A great experience! The cottage was a right fit.
Suggest maybe an explanation on entry process, I.e. opening the key box .
Suggest on coffee table place a notebook binder showing : how to contact host, instruction of tv and internet. Places to go. Will help new folks to area.

Highly recommend this place.👍

3rd visit for me
I’ve made a tradition of staying at this same wonderful little home away from home at the same time every year.
The home is clean and stocked with everything I need to be comfortable.
I love walking the neighborhood with my dog and it’s just a short stroll to the beach.
There’s a close grocery store and restaurants surrounding.
I love enjoying the swing on the large front porch and the neighbors are friendly.
Mina is a wonderful host and I recommend coming for a visit to soothe your soul. (Just not my week) 😁

Awesome!
Just as advertised-clean, nicely decorated, close to the beach. This was a great place to rest our weary heads after hanging at the beach. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed swaying on the porch swing in the mornings. The kitchen was nice and had everything we needed. The house layout was convenient with the bathroom and laundry facilities in a small hallway between the bedrooms. We appreciated the extra towels and washcloths in the bathroom. The beach chairs were handy to have so that we didn’t have but our own. Check-in was easy and wi-fi worked great. They mowed the yard while we were there but were kind enough to wait until mid-morning in case we were sleeping in. We would definitely stay here again.

Great outdoors and indoors!
We had a great vacation time staying it this immaculate well-appointed place. What a gem it is! A couple of short blocks to a long stretch of pristine groomed beaches and a boat launch, a short car drive to exciting Biloxi or Gulfport attractions and restaurants. With our dog, we had explored several hiking trails and dog friendly beaches of neighboring Hancock and Jackson counties. This property lies in Harrison county where dogs are officially not allowed on beaches, even though we saw some. At Solemar, we enjoyed relaxing at night watching movies and having a breakfast on the back porch watching the Gulf and new home construction in progress. With a railroad and a runway being nearby, be prepared for some train and airplane noise which is mostly infrequent and unobtrusive, and easy to get accustomed to. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, the house and beds very comfortable and the host extremely accommodating. We had everything we needed for a perfect early March vacation, including the weather, although a blender availability would be nice. Consider yourselves lucky being able to stay at the beautiful Solemar. We will surely return at our earliest opportunity.

Mina’s lil cottage is lovely on the inside with restful colored decor. We enjoyed the back porch and birds in nearby trees for our morning coffee. It is a short or drive to the beach. Mina has beach chairs and camp chairs for your use. There is noise from trains, planes and traffic but the little street the house is on has very little traffic. There is a nice walk a few blocks away to enjoy on good paths. The cottage is located near grocery stores, shops and restaurants.

Perfect
Our week started with 100% chance of rain for the first three days, normally would have been a bummer..... HOWEVER, this cottage was perfect for a few rainy days of relaxation! We sat on the front porch, was able to get out in between storms. The weather turned great later in the week...again, the cottage was perfect to "come home" to after a day at New Orleans or Ship Island. We will definitely be back.
Thanks again from making your home, ours for the week
