About this property

Clean & Charming Backyard Cottage 2 Blocks From The Beach!

Our "Backyard Bungalow" has received rave reviews from our guests over the past three years, and now we are offering it as a stand-alone accommodation (earlier, it was only available to rent as an add-on if the main house was also rented). This 700 square foot cozy backyard cottage was completed in March of 2018. Located in a prime neighborhood of Bay St Louis, the property is a 2-block walk to the most expansive and pristine white-sand beach on The Bay, and is very convenient to old town Bay St. Louis shops, restaurants, and bars. The space can comfortably accommodate six guests and has it's own patio and outdoor seating area.

The cottage is clean, charming and well-appointed with many designer touches. There is a common living space with two queen beds as well as a twin daybed with an additional twin trundle bed underneath - all of which are topped off with luxury linens. The bathroom includes granite countertops and custom cabinets and tile work. The kitchen also has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances including a gas range, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, and microwave oven. There is a pantry and laundry room just off the kitchen with a large capacity washer and dryer, coffee maker, toaster oven, cooking and cleaning supplies and lots of storage. There is complimentary high-speed internet throughout the property, as well as a 4k smart TV with DirecTV service. Outside, there is a patio with an umbrella-table and seating for four.

The bungalow (cottage) is it's own stand-alone building with its own private entrance and a single vehicle private driveway. There is also room to park three additional vehicles on the street in front of the property. The Bungalow is completely separate from the main house, yet both buildings sit on the large lot which is nearly 3/4 of an acre, and is adorned with several mature fruit trees (oranges, lemons, pears, peaches, satsumas, figs, pecans, kumquats, and more!). It is truly a special place to make memories with your family and friends!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Applebaum

Host profile image
We grew up in New Orleans, LA and currently live in Mandeville, LA with our three teenage children and our sweet rescue dog, Buddy. We love to spend time with our family and friends, and enjoy entertaining and participating in outdoor activities such as biking, tennis, paddle boarding, gardening, photography, and walking on the beach.

Why they chose this property

We both spent memorable parts of our childhood visiting and vacationing in this area with family and friends. Carolyn would spend several weeks each summer on the coast with her family - renting the same property each year. And Michael, would frequent Bay St. Louis often with his closest childhood friend, whose family owned a house there. We wanted to provide a similar experience to our own family, and had been in the market to purchase a home in Bay St. Louis for nearly two years when we finally found this gem!

With our busy work schedules (Carolyn works in the medical field and Michael in Film Production), not to mention the busy schedules of three teenage children, we are unable to spend as much time in The Bay as we would like, so we decided to offer this beautiful property for others to enjoy, through VRBO.

What makes this property unique

This is a charming and rambling compound (main home and bungalow) on a very large lot, in the perfect location - a quiet neighborhood, close to the heart of old town and just two blocks to the most expansive and beautiful beach in Bay St. Louis. We love sitting on the screened in rear porch and drinking our coffee while watching and listening to the birds in the morning, and making the 5-minute walk to the beach past historical homes, to take in a beautiful sunset.
