Read the Innkeeper Passion Statement of Lori Rosso, innkeeper of the Sea Breeze Manor Bed and Breakfast Inn, located in Gulfport, Florida:
For me, the passion for Innkeeping is found in the larger picture – the piece my property plays in the whole of the community of Gulfport, Florida. I purchased the Sea Breeze Manor in 2002, after a grueling 20-year career in Washington, D.C. I was tired of being a walking anonymous resume.
I always tell people that Gulfport found me … I didn’t find it. I literally stumbled across the Inn and the town.
At that time, the Sea Breeze was the only accommodation in town and no one was positioning Gulfport to be a destination. Well, seven years later, we have over 25 shops, restaurants and services, including two Inns within a six-block radius … all on the waterfront.
When I open my doors to world-weary travelers and see their stress melt away, and hear comments that they have never been as comfortable as in my home, and they didn’t think such places like Gulfport still existed, that is my reward.
My job is to make people relax and be happy…what could be better than that!

I can vouch for this beautiful B&B that we pass on our daily walk during the winter months. We have been coming to Gulfport for over 30 years, first a couple of weeks a year and now as snow birds. Although, we have never stayed at this B&B, as we have our own condo, I have to admit that it is gorgeous with a beautiful view of Boca Ciega Bay the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico. As for Gulfport, it certainly has come up in the world with its own theater, restaurants, library, sports activities, semi-monthly art walk and many more goodies.
