Welcome to Driftwood Bungalow, a cheerful and comfortable 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home tucked into a quiet Gulfport neighborhood—just a 15-minute walk (.7 miles) to the beach and minutes from Gulfport’s most exciting attractions, eateries, and entertainment. This lovingly maintained home is perfect for beach lovers, small families, friend groups, and travelers looking to unwind along the Mississippi Gulf Coast with all the comforts of home.
From the cozy porch swing to the fenced backyard with string lights and a dog door for your furry companion, every detail here was made with care to ensure a stress-free, peaceful stay. Whether you're beachcombing by morning or exploring art-filled alleyways and historic harbors by afternoon, Driftwood Bungalow is your cozy launchpad for coastal adventure.
~~Come Settle In~~
The home’s breezy, beach-inspired interior welcomes you with soft lighting, natural textures, and just the right mix of function and flair. In the living room, you'll find plush seating, a smart TV for movie nights, and subtle coastal décor that brings the Gulf inside.
The adjacent dining room seats six comfortably and opens up to a fully equipped kitchen—stocked with dishes, cookware, a coffee maker, blender, and full-sized appliances, including a dishwasher. It's the kind of space where you can whip up shrimp and grits one night and enjoy morning coffee in the sunlit breakfast nook the next.
