vacation rental description

The River Lookout is conveniently & centrally located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in a city of Gulfport subdivision, North of I-10, exit 38.

If you are looking for a peaceful, 'getaway from it all' vacation or a vacation where you stay in a secluded area, but are just minutes away from awesome dining, great shopping, casinos, golf courses, Gulf of Mexico Beaches (less than 8 miles away, on a light traffic, 4 lane road, with few lights), and entertainment, this is the place for you and your group. Close to the fun, yet feeling like you've gotten away from it all.

River Lookout is beautifully furnished with all the beds, mattresses, pillows, sofas, dressers, end tables, kitchen's items (plates, glasses, pots, etc.), TVs, etc. All brand new. Attention to detail makes sure this the house you are looking for. From the Room Darkening Curtains, fully equipped kitchen; the house even has a portable Ice maker for your convenience.

First, what's it like on the outside? It's really pretty cool!

On the River, people love their outside spaces. At home, you may stay inside your home, but vacation here and you'll want the views, the quiet atmosphere, river, and all the River Lookout has to offer.

There is a very large elevated deck, just off the front door. It's has a grill, some shaded areas, large umbrella's, lounge chairs, tables and chairs. Enough for the whole group to have an awesome dining & relaxing experience.

Plus a Great view of the Biloxi River!

Under this deck, it's shaded and private. There is a 14' x 8' Hot Tub. It's enormous and could probably seat your entire group at once. Can't you just imagine all of your family & friends, visiting, laughing, drinking a frozen beverage in a giant private hot tub? Stay at the River Lookout and you don't have to just imagine.

The house and grounds are on a unique piece of property. The entire back yard is elevated and supported by a concrete wall. It's a cool barrier to the river, keeping the River Lookout property private while not blocking views of the river.

Enjoy a picnic at the Pavilion area down by the River or even a dip in the River. By April we will have a steel fire pit installed for those who enjoy a good old' fashion campfire.

As great as the outside sounds, it's actually the more rustic side of things about the River Lookout.

The inside, of this elevated house, is all new, comfortable & surprisingly contemporary house. It's open floor plan offers a large kitchen, dinning, & living area. Great for every one to gather in one place.

Inside you will find a great layout, with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 7 Full size to King size beds, 4 Flat screen TVs, large fully equipped kitchen, wireless Internet, & laundry room with washer & dryer.

The Master bedroom has a King Size bed and flat Screen TV. Down a short hall, only accessible from the Master bedroom is a closet and full bathroom. The bathroom has a double vanity, shower & separate tub area. This Bedroom, is to the East side of the house, with some awesome room darkening curtains; for those who enjoy sleeping in on their vacation.

Towards the west side of the house, is a hallway, off of which you will find the laundry room, another full bath, a 2nd bedroom with a King size bed, a 3rd bedroom with a queen size bed, and a 4th bedroom with two, Full over Full size bunk beds. This one bunk room, can sleep up to 6 (2 in each of the bottom bunks & 1 in each of the top). These bunk beds are NOT the flimsy bunk beds you may imagine, but extremely sturdy, lots of clearance between bottom and top bunk beds. If you are with a Man's Golfer Group, you need not be concerned if these beds are adequate. They are very comfortable, sturdy, and designed to sleep a Large Man, even on the top bunk.

The interior is coordinated, newly decorated, & well laid out. There are no futons, beds built into closets, bedrooms over stuffed with multiple beds, that you have to almost climb over to get out of the room. The windows have mini-blinds & room darkening curtains. The count of 12 in 7 beds, allows for 5 couples, sleeping in 2 full beds, 1 queen bed, and 2 king beds. The 2 full bunks (in one large room) also have a full size bed above them for 1 additional person in each of the top beds. While we try to limit the top count to 12 people, depending on your groups desired sleeping arrangements, there are also 2 sofas in the living room, which are okay for people to sleep on, although we don't provide additional bedding for that.

Please take a moment and read the house reviews. Its new to the market, so there are only a few reviews, but I believe you will find them helpful in accessing if this is the perfect place for your next vacation or Golfer's Getaway.

traveler reviews for this gulfport house rental

Magical place that makes your worries disappear!

Carla G. ()
Review submitted: June 11, 2013   Date of arrival: May 19, 2013

The River Lookout far exceeds the expectations in every way! Let me start by saying that the best part for me was not the lovely well appointed an spacious home, but it was wonderful. It was not the modern and well equipped kitchen that made our stay a breeze! It wasn't the awesome, enormous hot tub, although that was a highlight for sure! The perfect layout that sleeps everyone so comfortably is cool, but not what made it so special for me. I did appreciate the entrance for wet swimmers that goes right thru the utility room and the very nice washer and dryer, but that isn't "it". Having two outdoor grills, one on the deck and a bigger one at the river were very useful too! Floating down the river from the deeper dock to the shallow end dozens of times was so much fun for everyone! Now, the on to the magic! When you take a left turn just before you reach the river and begin the stroll down the enchanted path. If you look on the tree to the left of the sidewalk where the paths cross,don't miss the sign warning of the "witches castle" and the ominous arrow pointing to the path. There are little vignettes in the woods along the path with nature providing the best vignettes of all with the moss covered logs and lichen covered patches on the path. Then midway along the path, you get to my favorite place! There are two opposing swings, the big long wooden kind of swings like you expect on a southern veranda! There are clear white lights that give it such a romantic feel after dark. In the center there is a statue of possibly Venus or some goddess that gives a great focal point. There are benches to complete this outdoor room, arranged just perfectly for conversation. If is is romance you are after, this is your spot. The highlight of my trip was in the middle of the night with my YaYa's from childhood! We were in an alternate universe, we had no problems, we magically become children again. We were as silly as 6 year old selves. Told secrets like we were 16 again, made pinky promises that they would never leave the enchanted swings and found our way back to the bed just before the sun came up! We had four generations there and everyone experienced the magic!
I guess I should say that this was not a trip for me and my YaYa's, but a Graduation celebration for my grandson! It was the best celebration any of the kids had ever had! It was perfect for all ages! I knew they would have a great time, but every single person did!! Now that is magic!

Owners response: You can't imagine how special it is to share my Vacation Home with wonderful people who see the Great Escape River Lookout as I do, an escape with endless possibilities for magical, ever lasting moments. Whether its the generations of Ya-Ya's dancing and sharing secrets under the moon, until the sun comes up or endless hours of water fun for the kids of all ages or rest & relaxing; grilling with friends and family, sun bathing on the deck.... there is just something magical about this Vacation Home. I'm glad everyone in your family and your friends experienced it. Thank you for sharing some of the details of your stay, it meant so much to me and will help other's as they choose the perfect vacation spot in the future.

Stunning, well maintained, comfortable

Review submitted: May 30, 2013   Date of arrival: May 24, 2013

The Lookout far exceeded our expectations! We were on a 4 couples' trip and the house definitely accommodated us. The house is very spacious and absolutely beautiful! The online pictures don't do it justice. The house was very clean and had everything we could possibly need for our vacation. The full size kitchen was great for cooking and seating. The deck was comfortable and had plenty chairs for everyone to relax while BBQing.
The extra fee for the hot tub is totally worth it! Relaxing in the hot tub after a long day may have been the best part of the vacation.
The property is well managed and the communication with the owner was excellent before, during, and after the stay.
I would definitely recommend this property to anyone planning a trip to the area, it's only minutes from restaurants, outlet, and waterpark. We are already planning our next stay!

Absolutely Loved This House!!! You must stay her if staying in the Gulfport area!!

Viv (Carencro, Louisiana)
Review submitted: May 29, 2013   Date of arrival: May 24, 2013

The pictures listed for this home doesn't do it justice! The property is so nice and amazingly laid out! Each bed room is so big and the beds are extra comfortable. The 2 bathrooms were wonderful, but we especially liked the master bathroom. It had a stand alone shower as well as a bath tub with a shower, so 2 places to take a bath at one time which saved us a lot of time. The master also had a double sink which came in handy and saved so much time as well. There was also plenty of towels in each bathroom for all 8 of us that stayed there.

The kitchen was fully loaded and stocked with everything you needed to prepare meals. They even had an ice maker on the shelf, which was awesome b/c our drinks were always cold! There was a wash room stocked with detergent and a very new washer and dryer. So we were able to wash all our clothes before we left, which means no laundry when we came home.

The living room was so big and the furniture was so comfortable, you almost didn't want to get in bed. The TV in the living room was a very good size, and there were TVs in the bedrooms. The dining room was very big and had a table area for about 6 people to eat at.

The deck was amazing, we stayed out on the deck and soaked up the sun daily. There were plenty of chairs out on the deck and tables, there were even umbrellas over each table to keep the sun at bay. There was also a BBQ pit on the deck that we were happy to use when we BBQ'd. There was even a radio in the house that we took out on the deck at night to listen to. There was also a very big hot tub for us to enjoy, and it was amazing!

I loved the paintings throughout the house as well, it made me feel like we were right at home. It was very quiet around the property, and we were near all the stores. We were excited everything was so close we could drive to, but not so close where there was a lot traffic. We were also very close to the waterpark which was so much fun! Overall I loved the property and will stay there again when we visit Gulfport.

Thanks for everything!
