                            We stayed 5 nights in the newly remodeled NOLA studio and were so impressed with the quality of the furnishings--from the furniture and bedding to the dishes! The soaking tub is truly glorious. We felt like we were in an expensive boutique hotel in New Orleans when inside. Cathy and Jason were so helpful when we needed them without being the least bit intrusive. The location is perfect--close enough to walk downtown, but far enough away to be quiet. We would return in a heartbeat, and recommend the property to anyone.

                            Owner response: Thank you for staying with us and enjoying NOLA Cottage! The renovation was worth the wait and all the effort! It was a pleasure to meet y'all and hope to see you again soon.

                            My daughter and I stayed in the NOLA for a week. We had the best time. The owners, Jason and Cathy, were there if you needed them but also gave you tons of privacy. While my daughter was at sea camp during the day I rode my bike all over the place. I don't think there was a road that I did not ride on. I had the best time. Laid Back. Easygoing. When I got home I told my husband we need to move there. They provide bikes and kayaks. The town was small and quaint. My daughter wants to go back and she wants to stay at Jason and Cathy's cottages. If I had to describe our trip by using one word, I would use one of the following: Fantastic, Fabulous, Restful, Peaceful, Friendly. I can't overstate what a great vacation place this is. There are probably some other places to rent in Ocean Springs but there is not a Cathy and Jason. You have to try it!!!

                            This was supposed to be a quick retreat before the craziness of summer began (the first vacation in almost 2 years). We were excited we could bring our 2 dogs also. Front Beach Cottages completely exceeded all expectations we had. The NOLA cottage was the perfect set up, adorable & comfortable. The owners thought of everything to make your stay great. They even left presents for the dogs! The beach is right down the street and downtown Ocean Springs is within walking distance. We can't wait to book our next stay.

                            The Nola cottage, even though we live in New Orleans, was charming and extremely comfortable...not to mention spotless. We loved being able to walk easily to downtown or the beach, our dachschund loved it, and we'll be back!

                            We had a great week at Nola. Everything we needed was there. Two blocks to the beach and three to town. Very clean and well kept. Had great walks with our dog. She did not want to come home. Great shops, restaurants and golf courses. Great owners and even great neighbors in Belland Cottage. We ate shrimp all week and even brought some home. Enough or we won't get our week next year.

                            This spendid cottage is located in a nice neighborhood withing sevral blocks of the beach and a vibrant downtown with a nice selection of restaurants and shops. It is very clean, has a nice deck off the back, a well stocked kitchen with gas stove, and a very comfortable bed and a good sized bedroom and living room with small but adequate dining room table for two people. It is perfect for a romantic getaway! Cathy and Jason are perfect hosts. They are right next door if you need them, and will guide you to whatever you are looking for, or they will leave you alone if you don't need help. Our only wish was for a coffee pot larger than the 5 cup pot supplied. So all in all, not much to complain about. Would definately return to this cottage!

                            This cottage was a great getaway for a much needed spring break! The cabins have a cozy feel with a wonderful dash of local culture. Very clean, I would recommend to anyone. My dog Pearl also loved it and was treated as a special guest with even a surprise gift on the doorstep one morning just for her! It is a wonderful walking or biking distance to any of Ocean Springs wonderful downtown and beautiful Front Beach. Cathy and Jason were wonderful hostesses. They made us feel right at home. Thanks again for a great vacation and I can't wait to stay the next time!

                            Cathy and Jason have created a truly special place to stay while visiting Ocean Springs and surrounding areas. This private and quiet location is central to downtown restaurants and shops, Front Beach, the Bridge Walk and the boat harbor - all easily walkable. NOLA Cottage is roomy, very well furnished and very well kept (as are C&J's two other VRBO-listed cottages adjacent to NOLA - Key West Cabana and Bellande Cottage - equally pleasant). Cathy and Jason live right in the compound as well and made sure we had a comfortable stay. We were very comfortble here and felt very well looked after. I would not hesitate to come again. Highly recommended!

                            This is a very cozy cottage, nestled in a small row of private cottages in a most quaint location in Ocean Springs. One block away is a lovely beach for walking along a cemented path and two blocks away from boutique shopping center. We stayed here recently while visiting family in the area and it was hard to leave this quaint home. It was also nicely equipped with everything we needed, laundry facilities on-site, internet, cable, towels, dishware, coffee maker. We will definitely be back!

                            Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, age 55+.
