The 'Little House' is only 100 steps from the beautiful white sand beach in Waveland and is located behind the Big House. It is a 900 SF Mediteranean style stucco house featuring a clay tile roof and Mexican tile open deck. As you relax on the deck under the shade of the live oak tree, you have several views of the beach and a 300+ year old cypress tree.
Inside, the very open floor plan has ceramic tile throughout the house and many double windows to add to the open feel.
The spacious bedroom has a king bed and two large closets. The bathroom features an oversized whirlpool tub with ceramic tile enclosure and counter tops. The fully stocked kitchen has plenty of counter space and cabinets. The laundry room is equipped with a full size washer and dryer.
From this location, you can be in the New Orleans French Quarter in less than an hour. On the way to New Orleans, you can stop by the Stennis Space Center Infinity Museum that features science and space exhibits.
Traveling to the west on the beach road, you can visit the Waveland Public Pier for fishing and beautiful views of the water, stop by Buccaneer State Park for a little recreation and continue to the Silver Slipper Casino for a little gaming or eat in their restaurants.
Traveling to the east on the beach road, you will be in Bay St. Louis in about 30 seconds. Bay St. Louis 'Old Town' has restaurants, shopping, antiques, a coffee house, and bike and kayak rentals. Hollywood Casino that features The Bridges golf course is also located in Bay St. Louis.
This area is still rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina so it is very quiet and relaxing, but there is plenty to do and see!!
Guided fishing trips are available, but reservations must be made in advance.

Was perfect for my husband and I we loved the porch and sat out in the mornings watching the ocean. Very nice places to eat very close and town was easy to navigate. The house was perfect and well equipped.... would like to return sometime this summer!!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: We agree that sitting the porch in the morning and looking at the water is a great place to be. Hope you do get to come visit us again!!

We loved our place in Waveland. The property was "as advertised", but better. We were steps from the white sandy beach. The owners were exceptionally helpful and wonderfully friendly. Our stay was great and problem free. There are many great seafood restaurants in the area and I think we tried them all. It was a very relaxing and quiet vacation. Many thanks to our owners for a great time.Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks for staying with us and glad you enjoyed our house, the beach and our great seafood. The beach is truly looking wonderful after the county did some refurbishing work on it last year. We really enjoy meeting people from other parts of our country and hope that their stay in Mississippi is a great one!

This place sucks. Inconvenient, ugly, lacks comfort, dirty beach, rude people... OK, that's only to keep people from renting it. WE WANT IT ALL FOR OURSELVES!!! Location is unbeatable, beach is deserted, beautiful and full of life (crabs, stingrays, fish, dolphins), though safe for families. Waveland, Bay St. Louis and neighboring towns are charming communities that make you feel welcome the moment you set foot on them. New Orleans is an hour drive West. Mobile 2 hours East. You can also enjoy small cities like Biloxi and Gulfport, with casinos and entertainment shows. Lots of excellent restaurants and eateries just around the corner. Or large supermarkets if you want to cook at home. Great for antique seekers or just for shopping the little businesses in these towns. And this is all despite Katrina basically devastating the whole area 7 years ago. You'll find some scars here and there now, but apart from empty foundations along the beach where houses once stood, they are almost unnoticed. The Little House has it all. My wife and I felt at home from day one. We had rented the property for just one week and planned to spend the rest of our 3 week vacation hopping around the Gulf Coast. We ended up staying the whole 3 weeks!!! If it were up to us, we'd move there in a heartbeat for good. We just can't say enough good things about this place without running out of space. And the icing on the cake are two of the most wonderful people we've met: the renters. They will go out of the way to help you in any conceivable way. Thanks for such an unbelievable time, guys. Like McArthur and Terminator said: "We'll be back". No doubt in our minds...Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Wow, what a review! The whole coast of Mississippi should feel proud that visitors are coming from all over the world and enjoying our lovely coast. We do try to make our guests feel like they are at home in the "Little House". We love meeting them and finding out about the places that they live and we share with them about life on the gulf coast. Hope to see you again!!!

My husband and I rented the "Little House " for 5 days, although extremely hot, we loved every minute. The sightseeing was great with many places to visit in the area. We extremely enjoyed the southern hospitality and culture of the area. The seafood was devine, with many restuarants nearby, but the ma and pa local diners were the best. The house was comfortable and well equipped. A very nice reprieve from hotels. The pictures do not truly represent how beautiful the decor was nor the beauty of the gulf area. Everyday I said, "this is like heaven and the best vacation I have ever had. The hosts were very friendly and they made things easy. It was a restful, peaceful escape from work and we truly had a summer getaway.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks for coming to the "Little House". We are so glad when our guests enjoy the Mississippi Gulf Coast as much as we like living here!

THIS WAS THE BEST GETAWAY MY HUSBAND AND I HAD IN A LONG TIME. WE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF OUR TRIP AND THE COTTAGE WAS GREAT.

THE OWNERS ARE JUST AWESOME!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.
Owner response: So glad that you enjoyed your stay and that you had a relaxing time here in Waveland. Hope you found some great finds in the antique shops around the Bay St. Louis area. Come visit us again!

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was perfect. The beach was all ours. No worries about traffic either; the highway was never an issue to cross to the beach. The fishing was also great from the beach. Lots of crabbing catching sting rays kept the kids entertained. Already planning on returning soon.The owners were closeby for any questions. And the house was immaculate and well stocked.Must go to Kiln, Ms to Jourdan river Steamers to eat!!! And the waterpark at waveland is great. Inexpensive and you don't have to spend all day to do everything.Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: It was really nice to meet you and we are so glad that you and your family enjoyed their stay in the "Little House". Hope to see you again!

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2006
About the owner: We love living on the beach. We built the first 'Little House' in 1986. We were 'weekenders' for many years and dreded going home on Sundays. When an opportunity came for us to move to Waveland permanently, we did!
Why the Owner Chose Waveland:
When Hurricane Katrina destroyed the 'Little House' and the 'Big House' in 2005, we built the smaller house first so that my husband and I could have a place to live while we designed and built the big house. We lived in the little house for 4 years and rented it to a friend for a year.
It was sitting there empty, so we decided to list it with VRBO. We have used VRBO several time ourselves and like it.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
The house is only 100 steps to the beach and a great walking and bike path. The views and sunsets are great.
The convenient location is only 10 minutes to the restaurants and activities in Waveland and Bay St. Louis.
