Top Gulfport Beach Hotel Reviews

The Beachcomber

8/10 Good

"Great beach bar ."

Beach House Suites by the Don CeSar

10/10 Excellent

"We had a room directily facing the ocean. The view was beautiful! Room was very clean. Bed was so comfortable even the sofa bed was great! Staff was very courteous and friendly."

Hilton Garden Inn St. Pete Beach

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly"

SkyBeach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the SkyBeach Resort. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and excited to be staying there. We were able to check in a little earlier than we were scheduled to, which was very helpful. Although it could have used a little more storage, our king deluxe room was a great size for two of us for a week. The only issue we had with our room was that the sliding door was difficult to open and the door to the room did not shut unless you pushed it shut. But both of those were easy to manage. We felt very safe all the time - we'd even go out the sliding door of our patio to walk to other spots in the resort, even if that meant leaving the room unlocked. The resort itself was beautiful. We were there in the off-season, so it wasn’t crowded so sometimes it seemed like we had the place to ourselves, which we loved. We swam in the pool for a little while every day and sat in the hot tub several times. The private beach was very peaceful each morning and evening. I got coffee each morning from the coffee shop and enjoyed it. The location was perfect. It seemed like every time we typed in a place we wanted to go it was about 20 minutes away. We visited multiple beaches in the area, the St. Pete pier, took a ferry to a Egmont Key and Shell key, and had dinner at restaurants from Madeira Beach to St Pete’s. We would absolutely stay here again!"

Plaza Beach Hotel Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Right on the beach"

Casa Dolphina: 6BR Waterfront Mini-Resort—Pool & Spa, Sunsets, Dock, St. Pete FL

10/10 Excellent

"This is our third time to stay at Casa Dolphina. We had nine littles aged 7 months to 11 years and ten adults. We were very comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the swimming pool, sundeck, dock for fishing & crab traps, competitions & football in the pool room, electronic games in the TV room and canoeing to the beach across the bay. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We celebrated Pops 97th birthday and a great-grandchildren’s second birthdays here. Amazing memories and they become more precious every year. Felt like we were “home” when we opened the door. The owners are the sweetest and very attentive to any of our random questions. We loved our ten day stay. But don’t tell anyone and don’t book our stay dates. Haha! Make some memories yall!"

Island Grand at TradeWinds

8/10 Good

"Room slightly outdated and a little shabby. Having towels, chaise and umbrella free of charge was wonderful. Staff was always friendly!!! Very helpful and always treated us with such great customer service Consider having some complimentary coffee in lobby. Prices pretty steep on a lot of things but I guess that’s expected at a resort."

Fun Getaway in the Sun Private Saltwater Pool Yard

10/10 Excellent

"It is an older home that is decorated very well. Could use a few more updates but overall a great place to stay with easy access to beaches, shopping, and great restaurants."

The right location!!!

8/10 Good

"Good experience staying at the right location in Gulfport Florida. House was clean, amenities worked, and there was room for guests. There is much to be desired in the Gulfport area but it’s a quick 12-15 minute uber to St. Petersburg. There food and bars within a 2 minute walk from the right location but no nightlife options. The bay, near the VRBO, was nice but if you want a real beach experience (cabanas, waves, and long coastline) it was better for us to uber to the St. Petersburg public beach access."
