Casual Waterfront Living With Private Dock! Location only minutes to Beach

A sensational waterfront vacation home rental, Young at Heart is located on a backwater cove along the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast. This home offers you the retreat of a lifetime.

Enjoy the waterfront location with private dock, fishing, kayaking, crabbing and bird watching. Fire up the grill, relax and don't forget to enjoy the beautiful sunsets.

Bring your boat! A boat ramp is located at the community center within easy walking distance! There are also boat rental and charter fishing services available nearby.

Of course you can fish right off the private dock too and there are a few kayaks, paddles, and life vests for use. There are a few basic fishing rods but you will probably prefer to bring your own fishing gear as well as bait and tackle. The dock is equipped with lighting for night fishing and a fish cleaning station.

The home is in a quiet location of Gulfport near Biloxi and very close to beaches! By car you are only minutes from casinos, outlet mall shopping, island ferry service, dining and entertainment. Children will love the local parks with splash pads and the beach, or take them to the new Mississippi Aquarium, the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center, Gulf Islands Water Park, the Ocean Adventures Marine Park at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, or on a Ferry ride to Ship Island.

You are just an hour or so drive from Dauphin Island where lots of shells can be found on the west end. About the same driving time to the southwest is the New Orleans French Quarter. This home is also in a great location to visit Biloxi, downtown Gulfport, Old Town Bay St. Louis, local shops of Ocean Springs, the Hattiesburg Zoo and so much more.

This home has a large covered deck overlooking the waterfront. There's a lot to do in the area but you don't need to leave the house to have fun. You can find plenty of relaxation right at home. There's also a park within walking distance with playground, tennis courts and a long boardwalk along the bayou.

The house has been equipped for your comfort and ease of access.

The bedrooms are separated and the guest room is furnished with two queens with tub/shower. The master suite is king size with private bath featuring a separate tub and shower. All rooms open to the second story deck with balcony railing and amazing waterfront views.

Home is equipped with premium television with a huge flat screen and unlimited high speed WiFi. Flat screen TVs are also located in each bedroom.

The home is appointed with quality furnishings and decorated professionally with a coastal flavor.

Great house on a beautiful bayou
Wonderful home with everything you need. Spent most of our time on the back porch. Beautiful views, fenced yard for our dog. Great dock to fish or crab. Our host, Eric, was available to answer any questions. Best shrimp poboy at Captain Al’s just down the street. Hope to return in the future.

Fantastic!
Great place! Great owner! We were looking for a place on the water to stay for a few days (that accepted pets) and this place was perfect! Views are amazing. Sunsets were perfect. Location is excellent. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Fishing off the dock was good. Caught some smaller fish (trout, croaker, flounder) and a couple of bigger catfish. Threw a cast net... mostly mullet but few others too. Had a lot of equipment to use as well - kayaks, poles, chairs, etc. House was great. Everything was clean. Open floorplan. Bathrooms were good. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything. Owner lived next door. Good guy who was able to help with everything. Bottom line - will stay here every time we visit the area.

Back bay Getaway
This property is a beautiful house on the back bay of Gulfport/Biloxi. The beach views of the Mississippi gulf coast are beautiful, but there is so much more wildlife to be seen on the back bay. Besides, the beach is only about a mile away. The listing is very accurate. There is plenty of extra equipment provided for enjoying the beach or bayou. The house was well furnished and the outdoor spaces were beautiful and useful. Communication with the property owner was prompt and helpful. I will definitely be returning to this property as often as I can, hopefully as soon as April 2025. This was a fantastic place to stay and enjoy.

Fishing Trip in the Rain
This is a great property for a family fishing trip with kids, no matter what the weather is. There is protected water and quick access. Also, the owner is the best and full of information about the area. We fished without any mishaps even though it rained multiple times over the weekend.

Another wonderful stay!
This was our second time at this property. The first time was 2 years ago and we were vacationing with our daughter and her husband. This time we were with my husband’s brother and his wife. This VRBO again did not disappoint. The location is perfect, the view is magnificent, the house is clean, and the kitchen is well-stocked. The host, Eric, does such a great job of making sure you feel welcome and taking care of any needs that come up. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, kayaking in the bayou, and spending time on the ocean-front (5-10 minutes away). One day we went to New Orleans to the WW2 museum and one day we took a charter fishing trip. We caught a mixture of flounder and speckled trout - enough to have fresh fish for dinner with the remainder being frozen for later. The best part of this VRBO, though, is relaxing on the back porch with morning coffee, and again in the evening to watch the amazing sunsets. We left this VRBO vacation reluctantly, but feeling rejuvenated! Recommend highly!

Peaceful and a Perfect for Family
We loved our stay at this home! We brought our boat down, Eric, the owner, was fantastic in helping us get it situated, giving us great ideas on where to take our family for boat trips, and helped us find all of the best restaurants. He is truly a very kind owner and made us feel very much at home. And his pup, Trace, was a complete joy to play with. Aside from boating, there are so many fun and close things to do with family. The house was the perfect layout for us… Two great bedroom suites on opposite sides, living and kitchen in the middle, it was a very quiet home and neighborhood, and the most beautiful views, both evening and morning off the back deck. The home is very well appointed, comfortable, and our entire experience was one our family enjoyed very much! Thank you, Eric!

Hidden treasure on back bay
Beautiful and comfortable home located in the heart of the coast. Back porch overlooks a beautiful bay and private boat dock. We loved being able to let our small dog wander in the fenced yard. The home is on stilts so there are stairs to climb but we found it to be invigorating. The description of rental was accurate. The home was very clean and provided everything we needed for a two-week stay with friends. The owner, Eric, was friendly, kind and helpful. We used the Kayaks and the fishing poles. The best part though, was watching the sunsets every evening. There wasn’t anything that we didn’t enjoy about this place. The rental also had great hot showers and comfortable beds. We look forward to visiting again.

Gulf Coast Visit
We really enjoyed our stay. Eric was a great host. The view off the back porch was amazing. We loved being able to walk out on the dock behind the house and jump on our boat. Eric was very helpful with boating tips and places to go. He even helped me launch the boat. We highly recommend renting this property! Hoping to go back again soon.

Wonderful Waterfront Getaway
We stayed for four nights during Cruisin' The Coast and towed our classic car. There was ample parking for the truck, trailer, and car. And the owner, Eric, even offered for us to park in the grass or his driveway (next door) if we invited guests back to the property. The house was really great. Very clean, new appliances, memory foam mattresses, big television, nice linens, and fully stocked kitchen. A safe neighborhood just far enough removed from the congestion and traffic on Beach Blvd. We hope to stay again.

Fishing and Sunsets
We had a fun and relaxing time at the house. We launched the boat at the local boat ramp and quickly docked at the house. We unloaded the SUV and went to dinner. Early next morning, we were at the Gulfport bait shop and then back for some fishing. After fishing, we went to Ocean Adventures and saw dolphins, rays, and a sea lion. Then we went home and rested. As the sun went down, we went fishing again, while part of the family took in the sunset on the porch. Rinse and repeat for a perfect weekend.

I cant say enough good things about the house, and owner! The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we could possibly need. Mr. Snell was the perfect host, he greeted us shortly after we arrived. He showed my kids how to fish with what was available at the house. His precious dog Trace was a big hit with the kids too. He's the sweetest and most well behaved pup. Mr. Snell gave us great recommendations on where to eat and take the kids for fun. We had the best time! If we find ourselves in Gulfport again I hope this house is open!

Eric, our host met us upon our arrival to ensure we had his number in case we needed anything. He provided great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the community. The property was spotless and well furnished. We spent several days in the area and the location of the house could not have been more perfect for visiting the different communities. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch and watching all of the boat traffic going through the bayou. We will definitely rent the house again for our next visit to the area. This is certainly a five-star rental.

This is a wonderful place to spend time away from home. In fact, it feels like home! Even though the weather didn't fully cooperate, there were so many things to do nearby that we stayed as busy as we wanted to every day. We saw two of the resident eagles, a small alligator a couple of coves away, and several herons spent time on our dock! Eric is always available for questions and he maintains this house very well. And, of course, Trace is a joy to watch! Thank you, Eric, for another lovely get away!
