I rented this house for a much needed family reunion with my children and grandchildren. We arrived from 3 states looking forward to the week. We were all so pleased with the house and its spaciousness....the kids loved to play ping pong as well as the many other games when the weather was rainy but the nicest surprise was the big yard and the nice pool. We got to bring our dogs with us and it was joy to see them run in the fenced yard. We also enjoyed the veranda, and I guess....loved it all! We would definitely go back again if you can get everyone together at the same time!

Owner response:thank you so much. it always puts a smile on my face when people enjoy the house as much as we do. i try to make it comfortable and convienent for all, two legged and our 4 legged friends. the yard is awesome for them too. hope to see you guys again some day.

Our stay at the home was just what we wanted!!! Home away from home!! We have two small girls and did not want to travel far and they did not want to leave out dog Oreo behind so we were able to bring him with us. They thoroughly enjoyed the pool!!!! We felt at home being here!! The house was very clean and welcoming!!!! We would definitely consider going back again!!!!!

Owner response:thank you for the kind words. and very happy we could accomodate OREO. The pool is great and definitely needed this time of year. hope to see you again some day.

This is our second time to stay at this home, and we have already made our reservation to go back next year. We love the home, and the fact that we can bring our dog-kids with us. The large back yard is perfect for them. We can walk to the beach and hangout, then come home to the pool and the patio. The home is cozy, well maintained, and very clean and comfortable--truly our home away from home. Rosanna is a gracious owner, great to work with, and we so appreciate her opening her home and allowing us to visit!

The house was great. The kids enjoyed the pool and the adults loved the fenced in backyard! It was close to the beach and there was always a nice breeze. Darwell's Cafe which is close by was amazing-the food was the best we had, they have live music every night and it was BYOB. Eat there! Children's Museum was a nice day trip when it rained. Overall a great experience, the owner was able to answer any question we had regarding the house and the area. She allowed us to check in early which was so convienent and helped us tremendously with our travel plans.

Owner response:Thanks so much for the review and feedback about the property. Glad i was able to accomodate your need for an early arrival. hope to see you and your family again.

My husband and I stayed 4 nights at this cozy cottage. It was very relaxing, well decorated, and lots of room. Great place to get away to enjoy life and relax. The decorations were very tasteful and made it very comfortable. There was lots of room and space. All we had to bring was our clothes and food. Every thing else was there. All in all the house was amazing and we would definetly stay there again! Thank you Rosanna for sharing your house with us!

Owner response:thank you for the kind words. i am so happy you enjoyed your stay at our cozy cottage. i hope to welcome you again one day. i strive to make the house as relaxing, comfortable and user friendly as possible by providing everything needed for a worry free vacation.

We have stayed at this home for several years and continue to return for many reasons. The home is well kept and very comfortable. Each year the owners add new improvements. The porch and pool are relaxing and you feel like you are home with some extra benefits. Being able to bring our fur children is a blessing since they are part of the family too. Rosanna is always great to work with and we appreciate her accomodating any schedule changes. We will continue to return to this property for vacation every year. Thanks Rosanna for always taking care of us and allowing us to visit your home!

My family and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and had a wonderful time. The house is immaculate, tastefully furnished, beautifully landscaped and feels like a home away from home (except cleaner). The owner was extremely friendly and helpful and even called to make sure we were having a good time and to recommend some local restaurants to us. I loved that the property comes stocked with family board games and a ping pong table. It is so close to the beach and the pier that we could fish and relax by the water at the same time. We took the ferry out to Ship Island for a day and swam on the beach there (because it has bigger waves) and checked out the old Civil War fort there too. The locals are friendly and food is great! We never wanted to leave. Really enojoyed the pool after a long day of family fun.

Owner response:Erica, Thank you so much for the lovely review. It's nice to know the pride and care we take in tending to our property does not go unnoticed. It is out home and we want everyone that stays there to feel at home. Would love to have you back sometime and thanks for leaving the house so tidy. Rosanna

I am not sure who enjoyed this vacation house more, me or my family. We were in town for a wedding and decided to try to look for a place we could relax every time we come in the area. The house and landscape were clean, very well maintained and had every thing you need. The pool was absolutly great! The owners personal touches throughout the home were just icing on the cake for a great trip. We will try to use this home every visit we can. The walk to the beach and the very nice neighbors made this a relaxing and wonderful trip. Thank you

My family and I stayed 5 nights and had a great time! The house is great! Very homey, comfortable and clean. Very nice. The backyard is great as well. We didn't have to worry about the grandsons getting out into the street or our little chihuahua. Big beautiful shade trees so you can enjoy the yard anytime during the day and the hammock!! Very nice pool and the setup worked great for us, just take the ladder off to keep the little ones out. Beautiful kitchen. Everything worked perfectly. Nice deep jetted tub in the bath. The TV and dish worked great although we only watched it a little at night to let the boys wind down. It was also nice having the washer and dryer so we didn't have to haul dirty clothes home or find a laundry mat (yuck). It was more than wonderful being so close to the beach. We spent so much time there with our grandsons. Everyone had such a good time. Very relaxing. Very comfortable. Close to so much. Everyone in this area was so, so friendly. If you go be sure and try the cuban sandwich at the Winter Garden Restaurant. My husband and I are already talking about going again. This is just a wonderful get a way, whether you enjoy walking on the beach, going to the casinos, going out to tree island, shopping or seeing New Orleans (about 40 min). And when your day is done you can come back to a very comfortable home and kick back or float in the pool or swing in the hammock. Thanks Rosanna for being such a wonderful host!

I have been renting this house for summer vacations for years, and I took my boyfriend there for his birthday and he had a blast did not want to come home. I am booking this house again this year for when his son comes to town for his vacation. I would and do recommend this home to friends and family. The owner is always nice and the home is always clean and ready for guests, has everything in it you will need plus some. Thank you for renting this home to us to make some memories on our vacations.
