Peaceful Parrot and Parakeet

3 Bedrooms 2 Bathrooms Sleeps 6 Gulfport

As you enter the front door, you’ll find yourself immediately in the comfortable and spacious living room, furnished in the soothing colors of sand and sea. Drop into one of the cozy armchairs or curl up on the sofa to stream your favorite show, movie, or anticipated sporting event on TV w/WiFi. A ceiling fan keeps things cool.

The Florida room looks over the privacy fenced backyard and offers upgraded lounge furniture. Bring out your book, or your mobile device, and maybe even a tall glass of lemonade to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Cooking and Dining

We hope you enjoy cooking! The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with all the most popular amenities. You’ll find stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator, solid-surface counters, and a lovely coordinated tile backsplash. With plenty of cabinet and counter space as well, there’s no doubt the kitchen will be well-loved during your stay. A convenient peninsula bar seats 3.

The dining room offers the opportunity to bring back the tradition of a family dinner. With a natural beadboard ceiling and seating for 4, you’ll enjoy a warm and welcoming vibe in a space that naturally invites you to linger over after-dinner conversation.

Sleeping Accommodations and Bathrooms

There are a total of 3 bedrooms. The Peaceful Parrot offers two bedrooms with a shared full bath. The first bedroom features a queen bed, with plenty of storage for your clothes and luggage, and a ceiling fan.

The second bedroom has a daybed-style double bed, with built in storage and coordinating decor in soothing colors. The shared bathroom has a tub/shower.

The Parakeet features its own private bedroom (the 3rd bedroom), a bath with a walk-in shower and the washer/dryer.

What's Nearby?

Gulfport has been called a lot of things, but boring isn’t one of them! It has been referred to, in no particular order, funky, eclectic, artsy, charming, progressive, welcoming, warm, and even weird. It proudly accepts all of it!

The downtown is small, but exceptionally welcoming. You won’t find any chain stores, or parking meters, but you will find beautiful old oak trees dripping in Spanish moss. And you will definitely find small-town friendliness and warmth.

Beach and Shore Boulevards are at the heart and soul of the historic downtown area, which is directly situated on scenic Boca Ciega Bay.

Those downtown shops are all independently owned and operated and feature works of local artists and artisans, as well as clothes, books, gifts, home decor, and more.

A concentration of more than a dozen restaurants in the village has made Gulfport a premier dining destination. You can find anything from a burger to find dining.

Make sure you’re here for our bi-monthly Art Walk, on the first Friday and third Saturday or each month. And while you’re at it, grab your grocery bags and head over to Tuesday Fresh Market for fresh fruits and veggies, breads, cheese, seafood, honey, plants and more, all from local vendors.

Gulfport is a beach town with something for every season, every reason, and every visitor. .

The owners of this property are New England natives, who visited Gulfport in 2020 and then found this gem while they were on vacation and bought it on the spot! The home is charming and has been expanded to include a dedicated dining room and a Florida room. The detached building has been converted to a separate living space with a bathroom and laundry and christened The Parakeet.

Reservations require the completion of a signed rental agreement including your credit card details. Pets welcome with additional fee. You are entering into an agreement with Splashy Ventures/Gulfport Florida and Splashy is the merchant of record for rent, taxes and fees.

Sweet cottage in a quiet area.

by Linda Barrow
We had to get a rental when another booking was accidentally unavailable. Even though it was evening Beth worked it out so we could get in that night. She was super responsive to my many inquiries.
The place was just as described, cute and clean and fully supplied. We only had one issue and it was taken care of ASAP. Just an FYI that this is more of a business venture than a home share, and as such has quite a comprehensive contract to go along with it.
I enjoyed the little backyard and enclosed patio in the mornings. The rooms felt spacious. Although we did not use the Parakeet room in the renovated garage, it would work for another 1-2 people who want to be separate from the main group.
The Bayou and Marina are just down the road, and is a great place to walk or kayak. It is a bit away from town, but that makes it quieter.
I highly recommend "The Peaceful Parrot".

Wonderful Gulfport Vacation

by Michael Greenfield
We've been to Gulfport before and just love the town and its amenities (market day, restaurants, beach & parks). It's an easy drive into St. Petersburg with great museums, parks and preserves. The Peaceful Parrot and Parakeet was exactly as pictured. Everything, from paper toweling to shampoo to laundry soap to coffee filters, was already there. We immediately felt at home in the space. Even the bed was perfect for us! Everyone knows about the Dali Museum but don't miss Imagine Museum, Chihuly Museum or Duncan McClellan Glass Gallery. We loved Mangosteen, Engine No. 9, Mio's and (fried chicken) Urban Brew & BBQ restaurants. We hope to be able to return to The Peaceful Parrot for another fabulous stay!

Great host

by Paula Gustafson
This house has everything you need. Private back yard. A little patio in the front also.too. Very clean. The host, Beth, was so kind and was always there when we needed her. We never had issues at the house. We needed assistance with reservation forms. The neighborhood is very quiet. When we rent next time, we would like to be in walking distance to the restaurants and beach. You can walk to the shops and beach, but nit carry all the beach chairs and such. We were always able to find parking at the lovely beach, but would have been better if we could have walked.

Cute bungalow for a family beach getaway

by tracy earles
We spent a WFH month at the Peaceful Parrot, and our adult son joined us for part of that time. The converted outbuilding, the Parakeet, with its third bedroom, provided lots of room for the family to be comfortable.The enclosed patio (I think they call those Florida rooms?) was one of our favorite places in the house to relax.

Because it's walkable to the marina, the Clam Bayou marine preserve, and to downtown and the beach, it's the perfect getaway location. As an avid cyclist, I also took advantage of the nearby bike paths, where I regularly did 30 to 40 mile rides with almost no interactions with cars.

We became big fans of Stella's for breakfast and Pia's for cocktails and upscale Italian, both in Gulfport's quaint downtown. We brought our dog with us to the Parrot, and spent several mornings on the terrific dog beach at nearby Fort De Soto.

The November-to-December weather was nice enough to let us spend quality time on Gultport's nice little downtown beach and on Fort De Soto's miles of beautiful white sand beaches, as well.

I highly recommend the Parrot for your family beach getaway.

Relaxing in Gulfport in the Peaceful Parrot

by Tony Shannon
I found the house to be a two bedroom one bath house with a one bath one bedroom in the detached rebuilt garage. Laundry facilities also in that building. House was clean, all problems were addressed by Splashy without delay.

Great location and house

by Constance Beck
Wonderful house and amenities. Great kitchen and outdoor space. House and casita were very clean and tidy and all was comfortable. Loved having access to the washer/dryer and was great space for the two small dogs. Really liked the little Gulfport downtown with good restaurants. Loved the electronic concierge system!
