I'm assuming you're Navy, since that's where the Seabee and Amphibious OPs base is?
Gulfport is an average, sleepy, Gulf Coast town, good food, good culture, below average school system. A decent 3 BR home with 1400+ sq ft living would run you about 150K most likely. Overall COL would be relatively low.
Gulfport got hit hard in Katrina, so be sure to check 2005 and older properties very carefully for mold or other flood damage before buying. Also get your realtor to check for "Chinese Drywall" very carefully. A lot of rebuilding was done with drywall from China that emits chemical fumes and has sickened many a homeowner.
