About this property
Beachfront Property in Ocean Springs, Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Sleeps 14
Whether you’re looking for an intimate setting for your family vacation, or just a beach getaway, you are sure to make lifelong memories with your family and friends at Seagrass Beach Cottage - a beautiful home which sits on its own private beach on the Mississippi Gulf Coast near the quaint coastal town of Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
This spectacular 4 bedroom / 4 bath cottage-style ocean front beach house blends old Southern charm with modern amenities, including WIFI Internet, three flat screen Smart TVs, central heat and air, tankless gas hot water heater and washer and dryer - to name a few. In addition to the 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, the spiral staircase in the living room leads to a Pelican Loft (used as a 5th bedroom) with French doors opening to a private sunbathing deck, with picturesque views of your private beach, the Gulf of Mexico, and Horn Island.
Belle Fontaine Beach showcases the natural beauty of the Mississippi Gulf Coast like no other place can. It's a beach front community with 3 miles of private white-sand beaches on the Mississippi Sound.
Features of the home include:
* Wrap around porches provide plenty of outdoor entertaining spaces, including the large back porch ( 80' x 12’), which overlooks the beach and the Gulf of Mexico.
* ADA-compliant accommodations includes a bedroom, with queen bed and private bathroom.
* 4 total bedrooms, including 1 King, 1 Queen, 1 Double, and 4 Twin beds.
* Upstairs Pelican loft area, with two Twin sleeping chairs and access to upper outside deck.
* 4 full bathrooms
* Separate sitting room with 2 additional fold-a-way cots
* 2 separate laundry rooms, each with its own washer and dryer.
* Built-in outdoor gas grill, bar, and 4-burner cooktop.
* Ample parking
In addition to the beach, Seagrass is close to numerous opportunities for entertainment and recreation, including boat charter, fishing, kayaking, boating, and golfing. Seagrass is also located near Gulf Coast Casinos and cultural events, including the annual Peter Anderson Festival (Mississippi’s largest arts and crafts festival) and CRUISING THE COAST EVENT! If you’re a Boutique shopper you hit the Jackpot with our Downtown Ocean Springs District. With more than 200 local shops, galleries, restaurants and nightlife, the Ocean Springs community captures the small town charm with its walkability, white sand beaches, and year round activity.
We require a minimum 3-night stay for all bookings—but we imagine you’ll want to stay longer. We look forward to hearing from you soon! ** Please note the house uses well water and while the water is safe to drink, we encourage guests to bring their own drinking water. The house has 3 smart TV’s. There is no cable, but guests can log in to their streaming apps on all TV’s.

About the host
Hosted by Irene Gillespie
My name is Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been very happily married for 30 years. We have 23-year-old triplets and a 22-year-old.
Why they chose this property
We own both Seagrass Beach Cottage as well as the Sandhill Beachhouse just next door. I immediately fell in love with both of these properties, their charm and character, not to mention the serenity of their own private beach right on the Gulf of Mexico. Our favorite part of Seagrass is the oversized covered back porch, where we can sit all day, taking in the breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean.
Ultimately, Irene and I plan to retire here, but in the meantime, we are pleased to share our home as a vacation rental property.

What makes this property unique
The most desirable benefit of the Seagrass Beach Cottage is most definitely the private, natural white sand BEACH! The sounds and views of the Gulf are absolutely spectacular, whether taking them in from the oversized back porch or from your beach chair right on the water.
