Stairs
The River Lookout is 8 feet from the ground floor and the number of stairs that must be climbed to gain entrance into the house is about the same as in a house with a 2nd story and 8' ceilings.  Potential guests who cannot easily climb stairs to a 2nd story in a 2-story house are encouraged to consider booking one of our other vacation homes or even booking elsewhere.  We would rather lose a booking, than have a guest not happy with their choice.  

Luggage / Grocery Lift
To make it much easier to get luggage, groceries, and more up to the main house, we've added a Luggage Lift; but this is NOT a passenger lift.  It is ONLY designed to bring inanimate objects, such as luggage & groceries from the ground floor to the 2nd floor. Never people or their pets.  

Game Room
Our newest amenity, The Game Room is located on the ground floor under part of the house portion of the River Lookout.  Which is basically an above ground basement.  Here guests will find a climate controlled area, 8' Slate Billiards Table, Pool Sticks & Balls, foosball, a half bath, Refrigerator, and more.

Optional Hot Tub
We pride ourselves on offering safe, clean properties and amenities.  In order to do this, when it comes to the Large 7-8 person Hot Tub at the River Lookout, there is a good deal of added expense, time, labor, and resources.  Not all of our bookings are going to use the Hot Tub and it is not fair to pass this cost on to every booking.  We are fully aware our competition does not do the complete cleaning & treating of the Hot Tub between guests that we do; but we feel we would be remiss if we didn't.   For that reason, it's an "Optional" Amenity.  For those guests who wish to have the use of the Hot Tub, they will pay $125 plus taxes.  For that fee, the water from the past guests booking, is completely pumped out of the Hot Tub.  The Hot Tub is then scrubbed and sanitized.  Rinsed and this water is pumped out.  The Hot Tub is then filled with water.  This fresh water is heated and treated prior to the new booking's arrival.  Should you wish to add the Hot Tub to your stay, it's an option at check-out.

Rates

Our vacation rental rates are based on bookings of 4 or more nights, offering the best per-night value for groups planning a longer stay. For those booking fewer than 4 nights, a small "Minimum Stay Not Met" fee is added to the rate, keeping our business sustainable while still accommodating shorter stays. Here’s how it works:

  • 4+ Night Stays: Enjoy our best rates with no additional fees – ideal for guests wanting a great value for a longer getaway.

  • 3-Night Stays: Available with a modest fee. While the total cost is lower than a 4-night booking, the nightly rate is slightly higher.

  • 2-Night Stays: This option has a higher fee, resulting in our highest nightly rate, though the overall cost remains below a 3-night stay.

  • 1-Night Stays: Priced the same as a 2-night booking. This is perfect for last-minute or single-night getaways when availability allows.

Special Weekday Savings!
Booking from Monday to Wednesday? Our weekday rates are exceptionally affordable. Even with the "Minimum Stay Not Met" fee, weekday stays are among the best deals you'll find for this property.

Save Big with Direct Bookings
By booking through our website, you avoid costly listing site service fees, particularly beneficial for extended stays and peak times. Whether you're booking for a single night or an entire week, our site is designed for easy, instant booking and accurate pricing for any stay length.

This is by far the most amazing rental house I have ever visited. I fell in love just by the pictures but to my surprise it exceeded my expectations. We needed a place to get away but still had shopping nearby. The river, pool, hot tub and home were immaculate and everyone was entertained the whole time. The kids were not begging to go spend money and we were able to sit on the deck in the mornings with a perfect view to get our work out of the way before heading down the pool. Patricia is accommodating and takes pride in her properties. You can tell she genuinely cares if you enjoy your time. We are already planning our next trip. Thank you, Patricia, for making this birthday week so special for us.

I stayed at this property Halloween weekend 2020. This was the same weekend MS and LA were affected with a hurricane. Due to the hurricane my original property was out of power. Being that I live in LA and was out of power also the property owner let my guest and I stay at another property she owned. I was extremely surprised and grateful she did not just write me off. She went out of her way to accommodate my guest and I. It was a great property and I would defiantly go back to stay there again!

What a wonderful getaway! Plenty of room for my family of 12! I can’t say enough how great our stay was. Patricia was so very helpful and went beyond to make sure our stay was superb! There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and still be together. Watching the kids swim and having all my family with me made my year! I can go on and on so let me just end with this; I’ll definitely be staying there whenever I’m ready for another getaway! It’s become my go-to place!

We rent through VRBO all the time. About three times a year. This was a vacation to celebrate 5 years cancer free for me. It included my husband and myself, my children and their spouses and grandchildren. Patricia was so helpful adding another day and her communication was outstanding. The house was a home. We felt so comfortable. The pool was where the grandchildren played, laughed and squealed. It was a perfect place to make memories to last a lifetime. After 24 surgeries for breast cancer, I was ready for happiness and I found it this week at this home with my family that made my fight worth it all. We ended up having a tropical storm come in and we had to leave a day early. The waters were flooding the town. Patricia and her business partner came and got us by Razor and a trailer. My grandchildren were in heaven. This was by far our favorite vacation rental. Highly recommend for an enjoyable getaway.

This was a great river house. Kitchen was fully stocked (not just a couple pots and pans and plates, but pretty much everything you had at home. It was nice to be both off the beaten path and not all up in the tourist areas as we like our downtime and peace and quiet. yet also close enough that when we did want to be, we could be on Beach Blvd and any tourist or nightlife location we wanted within minutes. It was also nice that every member of our group had an actual bed. We have a group of 9 and usually a couple end up on air mattresses. Should we visit this area again, we would stay here.

We traveled from Wilmington NC to Gulfport for a family wedding and sort of reunion. We have a very large family and each family unit rented a different house. As you can imagine we all hung out together at different houses taking turns hosting dinner and visiting. Our host Patricia was amazing from the first message I sent her to inquire about the house. She was always responsive and went above and beyond to help meet all our needs. I sent her a very long list of possible visitors (all family) and even some extra overnight guests (cousin sleep over night) and she was so understanding and loved that we had such a big family. We had a few hiccups on arrival and Patricia responded immediately and sent a maintenance gentleman over to help right away. She truly cared that we had a great experience! Ms. Patricia and her team were very responsive and caring all through our visit. The space on the property was amazing for family! Located in a very quiet peaceful area down a dead-end road (absolutely no through traffic), surrounded by nature. There is the pool, hot tub, pool table, games, fire pit, grill area and a great pavilion area right down on the river...it was fabulous! We rented kayaks from Chris at South Mississippi Kayak Rentals. That was the most inexpensive kayak rental I have ever done and he delivered and picked up for free. The river front property is PERFECT for kayaks and teens spent so much time on the river. A great time was had by all, we hope we can return. Thanks so much for everything Patricia!!

We booked the house for our annual youth trip. We have a small youth group and generally pick an area to explore and do a Bible study with it. The layout of the house was fantastic and fit our needs perfectly. The bunk beds held all the boys on the trip, the living room was spacious enough for our bible study, the long dining table was perfect for family style dinners and for munching on a mess of crawfish! The kids enjoyed the river access, pool, Foosball table, and pool table. Check in and check out is the smoothest I've ever experienced. Patricia is a host that really has it all together. Will definitely be booking future trips here.

My family recently stayed at this property and we are very impressed! The owner was always available and answered all my questions even during our stay. The property was very clean and had plenty of room for a party of 10 people. We really enjoyed the pool, the hot tub, and access to the river for fishing and boating. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a trip to Gulfport. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing and exactly as advertised, great price for the spacious room provided Would highly recommend to anyone looking to book a getaway and in fact, we're looking forward to going back again. Property was clean, in a quiet neighborhood, stocked with a lot of necessities and amenities. Owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with prior to trip and during stay. She always responded quickly. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. The property was spacious with room for all family members and everyone had a really great time. Easy to find and close to beach and outlets but secluded enough for a relaxing time. And really great price!

We rented this property with 5 other couples and it was perfect for what we were looking for. The property was immaculately clean. We grilled lunch near the river and swam, and at night we hung out near the pool or on the upper deck playing card games. Patricia was very accommodating, even when we decided halfway through our trip to add the hot tub! Looking forward to staying here again someday!

Great house for a large group! The house was really great for our numbers which were 6 adults and 7 children. All of the beds were comfortable, especially since so many kids were sleeping in the double bunk room. The property owner was prompt in addressing all concerns. We had some bad weather and rain and initially we had issues connecting to the Wi-Fi but Patricia assisted and stayed on the phone with while we reset the router. The owner was also made aware of an issue with the oven heating and a new one was installed promptly during our stay without it causing much inconvenience as the service was prompt and quick. We did enjoy the property, the grounds and trails were really fun around the river area. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub as we spent most our time there. It’s a great house for kids and they had an absolute blast with no shortage of entertainment. The house was well stocked with everything you would need and seemed very well maintained. We would definitely re-visit if we ever needed to sleep a large group again!

It was nice to be both off the beaten path and not all up in the tourist areas as we like our downtime and peace and quiet. yet also close enough that when we did want to be, we could be on Beach Blvd and any tourist or nightlife location we wanted within minutes. It was also nice that every member of our group had an actual bed. We have a group of 9 and usually a couple end up on air mattresses. Should we visit this area again, we would stay here.

Great place for larger groups over 8 people It was: clean, great location, serviced us well. This is not a 5 star resort, but we got treated like it was. Maintenance crew and administration were top notch. Best furnished Vacation Rental kitchen we ever stayed at! Just like being at home!

Nice even with storm water invasion We absolutely loved The River House! During our stay storms hit and some flooding accorded. For a day we were on an “island!” The property is super high, like up on a hill… so while water was on the street and back yard, our cars were high and dry on the hill and we were able to enjoy the pool, hot tub, and more… Made some great memories! Our Host made sure we wanted for nothing!

Will book again! We booked the house for our annual youth trip. We have a small youth group and generally pick an area to explore and do a Bible study with it. The layout of the house was fantastic and fit our needs perfectly. The bunk beds held all the boys on the trip, the living room was spacious enough for our bible study, the long dining table was perfect for family style dinners and for munching on a mess of crawfish! The kids enjoyed the river access, pool, Foosball table, and pool table. Check in and check out is the smoothest I've ever experienced. Patricia is a host that really has it all together. Will definitely be booking future trips here.

Great stay at the Gulfport. My family recently stayed at this property and we are very impressed! The owner was always available and answered all my questions even during our stay. The property was very clean and had plenty of room for a party of 10 people. We really enjoyed the pool, the hot tub, and access to the river for fishing and boating. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a trip to Gulfport. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing and exactly as advertised, great price for the spacious room provided Would highly recommend to anyone looking to book a getaway and in fact, we're looking forward to going back again. Property was clean, in a quiet neighborhood, stocked with a lot of necessities and amenities. Owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with prior to trip and during stay. She always responded quickly. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. The property was spacious with room for all family members and everyone had a really great time. Easy to find and close to beach and outlets but secluded enough for a relaxing time. And really great price!

Liked: Cleanliness Huge home for family fun. We had a great time relaxing by the pool. Hosts are amazing and very helpful. We arrived in Gulf Port a day earlier than we thought we would and they allowed us to check in early. It was a blessing. During our stay the hosts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and home like. The weather was perfect for bumming around in the area or just sitting at the pool with a drink. We will most definitely be back and we look forward to it.

Cancellation policy

Cancellations made at least sixty (60) days prior to the arrival date are eligible for a refund, with a deduction of a $299 Cancellation Fee. In order to qualify for a refund, all originally booked dates must be rebooked by another party at the same nightly rate.
 
Reasoning:
Our cancellation policy is designed to balance the needs of both guests and our business. Larger groups often plan well in advance and pay a premium for our larger accommodations. As the arrival dates near, smaller groups may book, but their budgets typically dictate lower rates. By the sixty-day mark, the opportunity to rebook at the full rate may have passed, necessitating a discount to attract new guests. This ensures that we can maintain financial stability while accommodating changes in booking demand.
 
Additional Information:
We strongly recommend purchasing Travel Insurance to safeguard against unforeseen cancellations. If a cancellation becomes necessary, we advise doing so well before the 60-day mark, as refunds may not be guaranteed closer to the arrival date. Please note that early departures are not eligible for refunds. Additionally, we reserve the right to cancel reservations in the event that the property becomes unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances rendering it uninhabitable. In such cases, all funds will be returned to the guest.
