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.

This was a terrific spot! Close to everything and comfortable walking to restaurants and shops! Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare dinner and beds were comfortable. They were so helpful and accommodating when a family member fell ill on our trip. I will be staying there again and again when we revisit St. Pete.

Great getaway in "old Florida" style
This is a perfect "Old Florida" cottage. We have stayed here previously and it is always remarkably clean. Check in is easy -- when we arrived the house was cool as a/c and ceiling fans were turned on. Wireless works well. There has been updating in the kitchen since we were there the last time and it is still fully equipped (except don't expect a dishwasher -- remember "Old Florida). Full washer / dryer. We like that the location is only a couple of blocks from the dog park and it is a short walk through downtown to restaurants, shopping, the beach, etc. Beth is extremely responsive and accommodating.

The place is setup great for entertaining with sunscreen covering the outdoor table and patio lights to enjoy the evening. Bonus location is easily walkable to restaurants and pickleball!!

Nice place to relax
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.

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.

Perfect location
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.

A delightful cottage in Gulfport
Beth was an absolutely wonderful property manager for this cottage. Her communications were timely and clearly expressed. She was involved without being intrusive and was always responsive when we had a question. The two of us stayed with our Labrador Retriever. It was a great location for him -- just a few blocks from the dog park and lots of dog-friendly parks. We especially enjoyed taking him to Clam Bayou (formerly Osgood Point) on the Gulfport Side. Across Clam Bayou but back in St. Petersburg (a short drive down Pasadena Avenue to 37th St, go south to 34th Ave South and turn right -- it dead ends at the park). There is a small beach, a walking/biking trail, a doggie water fountain, and a lake. Be careful around the lake -- after all, this is Florida and there are alligators.
The house location is just steps away from Beach Boulevard with Siri's, Backfin Blue Cafe, Pia's, and Gulf Perk. Of course, the COVID pandemic has changed eating out but one can still get take out and some places have outside dining. You will have to check at the time of your visit. Gulf Perk has a delightful outside patio and welcomes our canine friends -- they also have a great cream cheese, lox, bagel, capers, and cilantro meal.
Enjoy Gulfport, we do often.

Nothing better than a cottage in Gulfport!
Home is so cute, well stocked and with a great outdoor space. Ample partying for 2 cars. The full size gas grill and proximity to restaurants downtown can’t be beat. Great wifi signal if you need to work from home. Sufficient water pressure to make you forget you aren’t at home too! Beds are comfortable and all appliances work well. The photos don’t lie. It’s a great beach cottage. We will be back for sure.

Wonderful stay in The Tampa Bay Area.
This is a wonderful find in the St. Pete area. Located in the quaint old fishing village of Gulfport. A short walk to a wonderful little downtown with shops and restaurants. Perhaps if you get to know a member of the nearby Pasadena Yacht and country club, you would have an opportunity to play one of the best courses in Florida. The cottage is also a short 10 minute drive to beautiful St. Pete Beach. There is also tennis, pickleball and volleyball in Gulfport. Beth, the property manager is outstanding, with regular communication and responsiveness. We will be using this cottage again.

Beach Blvd one block over & has many restaurants, O'Maddy's is our favorite & great pizza at Siri's. Tuesday market is great, street is lined with vendors of all kinds. Deli there for most of your needs, Dunkin Doughnuts with walking distance, Skyway Jack's on 34th has a great breakfast. You can be in downtown St Pete in 15 mins, nice walking trails. Tampa 1/2 hr away & Sarasota about 50 mins. Neighbors were very nice also, very friendly. We loved our stay & hope we ca return next November.

Super little place!
Back porch light does not work. One outlet in living room does not work. Kitchen cabinets need organization! BBQ needs a good cleaning and there is no propane so we could not use it.
The house is in a great location. Walk to town. Lots of hot water! House is very enjoyable. Off street parking is a plus. Instructions to operate tv and WiFi are excellent.
