Tyn & Marty's Old-Fashioned Beach Cottage

Clean, classic, uncluttered and one of the best locations in Gulfport! Retro original kitchen that has been tastefully updated. Walk to everything in Gulfport – shops, restaurants, parks and the beach Wood floors and comfortable bedrooms. A wonderful part of your vacation! 2 bicycles available with advance notice. The bathroom has a combo tub/shower. Large outdoor patio area with table, grill, and lounge chairs. The very large yard has a small fenced portion for a doggy relief area.
Laidback charm and the simplicity of life at the beach are what you’ll find at Tyn and Marty’s Beach Cottage, located in Gulfport’s Waterfront District. With 2 queen-size bedrooms, 1 bath, a deck overlooking its spacious yard, and an Old Florida vibe that feels like childhood summers, this is the perfect spot for disconnecting (and reconnecting). Never fear, though: there is WiFi! And Netflix! And central air!

Tyn and Marty’s location is a big draw. Walk to shops, restaurants, dolphin-watching cruises, the library, golf, tennis courts, the fishing pier, and more. Walk just 5 minutes to the nearest beach. And watch the 4th of July fireworks from your front yard without stressing about parking. In fact, you never have to stress about parking here: 2 off-street parking spots are included.

Accessing the rental is easy, with a digital, keyless lock equipped with a unique code so you can arrive on your own time.

Tyn and Marty’s welcomes non-aggressive dogs that are over a year old, and the fenced area in the yard and nearby dog park are big plusses for pet owners. Dogs do require our prior approval, though, so talk to us (Splashy Ventures) before you head down with your pup.

A CLASSIC GETAWAY

We like to say that Tyn and Marty's is your grandmother’s beach cottage. And for a lot of guests, that’s just what the doctor ordered.

Clean, uncluttered, and, above all, welcoming, Tyn and Marty’s was most likely built in the 1920s and has aged very well; the original hardwood floors are in gorgeous condition.

The two bedrooms - nicknamed “Seaside” and “Sand Dollar” - both have queen-size beds. Seaside also includes a TV for those who like to fall asleep to their favorite show. Note that Sand Dollar’s closet is home to the washer and dryer, which is great for packing light but does limit the amount of storage space available in that bedroom.

Newly installed mattress toppers add comfort to both beds. The shared bath - which is quite spacious for a 1920s home!—has been updated with new tile floors.

If you have extra guests, we have an inflatable EZ bed that is available upon request. With these additions, Tyn & Marty’s sleeps 6 people (4 in beds).

GULFPORT AND THE WATERFRONT DISTRICT

Cyclists, joggers and strollers love being close to the Pinellas Trail, too. This 38-mile bicycle path runs from Tarpon Springs to St. Pete, passing through several quaint beach towns along the way.

Gulfport itself is a beach town with a lot of heart. Weekly events in town - from concerts to art walks - keep your vacation calendar packed with activity. Or simply relax on the beach with “breaks” for delicious meals; Gulfport has a surprising number of mouthwatering restaurants for its size.

More beaches await within an easy drive, including St. Pete Beach and Clearwater. Though you can walk a lot of places from Tyn and Marty's, and a car isn’t required, it is recommended that you bring one to best explore this vibrant area.

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

We loved our stay at this darling, snug house. It suited our needs perfectly. It was clean, neat, and defined the term ‘beach house.’ We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

We stayed at Tyn and Marty's cottage after our house flooded during Hurricane Helene. The cottage was incredibly clean, cozy, and stocked well. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, and the neighbors were very friendly. While we weren't staying for vacation, the comfort of the cottage was exactly what we needed at the time and would have been great for a vacation. The location was perfect for staying in Gulfport and the host was also very easy to communicate with.

Reviewer Comments: Started off bad, cleaners just starting to clean when we arrived at 4 PM, our agreed check in time. Had to wait until 5:30 to move in.The rest of the stay was all good. Great location, close to restaurants and beaches. Love the trees along the front providing a break from busy street and the new fence along the alley making the yard very private.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent a month in this charming cottage. It was just the right size for us and our two labradors. It is conveniently located near Beach Blvd. which is lined with shops and restaurants, and easy walking to the beach. It's a block to the library and two blocks to the dog park. Gulfport was easy to walk around and ride your bike in. Fort DeSoto beach was great! From this location it was easy to explore the warehouse district and the arts district and the waterfront of St. Petersburg. We really appreciated the keyless lock.

Excellent location. Close to Gulfport Beach. Everything we needed while staying to help out daughter after hurricanes. Would stay here again. Please fix the front storm door.

We really enjoyed our stay and would book it again. The cottage was comfortable very well stocked with supplies. Very big back yard only 1 block from downtown. The only suggestion we would make to the owners would be to consider replacing the mattress in the main bedroom.

This Gulfport home is in a great location. It was within walking distance to their downtown area. It is also about 15 minutes from St. Petersburg. The small yard was perfect to hang out and let the dogs out. It could have been better kept, but it worked for the time we were there. They also supply you with enough of the essentials you need to get started. The house also has a fun interactive picture like frame that changes daily with events in the area. Would definitely stay again.

Location, location, location! Just around the corner from Gulfport's Beach Blvd with restaurants and bars. It's also just a short walk to the beach. This is a very cozy home in a nice and safe neighborhood. This was the perfect home for our week stay in Gulfport. I would definitely recommend this home for a couple or small group. Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I wanted a place to relax, recharge, spend some time alone and just get away. This cottage was the perfect place to do that. It is full of charm and character and was very clean. I felt safe in the area and the house was such a short walk to the main street in Gulfport that I barely needed to use the car I rented. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent it again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute little cottage! I stayed here for a week with a 6, 2, and 9 month old. Elizabeth was very attentive to my concerns and responded very quickly. Pros-All the natural soaps/cleaning products. Beds are very comfortable!Only a few blocks to downtown. Very walkable with a stroller. Cute yard area for the kids to play, although not fenced in. Cons-No dishwasher. It seemed like I washed dishes all day for the 4 of us. Very small, especially the kitchen area for meals, it would be great for a couple who plans on eating out a lot!I would stay here again in a pinch, but would prefer a more family friendly place.
