This rental is truly beautiful! It is bright and welcoming with beach vibes. The location is perfect for many local sights including Jones Park, Mississippi Aquarium, and amazing coastal beaches. It even has dedicated off street parking. Kenny & Sharon were very responsive To communications. There’s also a great area for pets with a partially fenced in yard. We would definitely like to visit the area and stay at this property again!

Near the beach and aquarium! It was very convenient location and plenty space for the four of us plus the dog. Very clear instructions. The train is noisy but it goes by fast and can’t be helped by the owners.

Senior year aquarium visit

My daughter wanted to see the aquarium and it was pretty much next door. Great location and was very clean. I'm diagnosed OCD so that is a huge plus for me

Great time

This location was nice I wish it was closer to the beach. The walls was a little thin because the family next door was loud and little disturbing . However this was a great place to stay I will stay again.

Cruising the Coast

Rental was clean and met our expectations. Close to a railroad track but we knew that when booking. Great parking around back behind a fence which was great for us with three vehicles and trailer. Owner communicated well; we will use again if ever back in the area.

Walk to the beach

We loved being a 5 min walk from an underused public beach. Plenty of space, clean and attractive interior. Everything in excellent condition. House was a little under supplied (missing laundry detergent, plastic bags, and cooking oil, only a few dishes).

Do Not Recommend

The house itself was nice and clean but the location was sketchy. We had things stolen from the bed of our truck. I would advise someone to take EVERYTHING out of your vehicle when you get there. The host was kind enough to refund us $75 for the cooler that was stolen, but that still does not replace what was in the cooler.
