Host was responsive, friendly, and informative. We felt very welcomed. The Bayou Bungalow was a PERFECT stay for us! Its clean, angular architecture appealed to my mom while the natural wood accents and ample outside viewscapes were my favorite elements. Cozy, comfortable, and unique!

Very cozy and clean! Excellent space to spend Thanksgiving week alone with just the two of us and our four-legged princess. She loved laying on her bed and watching all of the wildlife out the full-length back wall glass. We ran into the owners while we were out for a walk one day and the are very nice and genuine. Communication was great - all questions answered in a very imely manner. Ocean Springs is a wonderful town and we look forward to our next visit and stay at the Bayou Bungalow!

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Johnston

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The bungalow is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the first of three Carrol Ishee houses that are exactly the same. Next door to this bungalow is 103 Myrtle, which is another property of ours - and will soon be available to stay in as well.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this house immediately and saw how great of a place it could be for couples and smaller families visiting Ocean Springs and the surrounding Gulf Coast. The floor to ceiling windows opening on to the porch, high ceilings, and proximity to downtown Ocean Springs as well as East Beach bring the best that the Gulf Coast has to offer only minutes away.
