Welcome to The Driftwood on Porter Avenue, a thoughtfully designed condo where coastal style meets modern comfort. The open living area is perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring, featuring a comfy sofa, a 65” Smart HDTV, and curated local art. A dedicated workspace with high-speed Wi-Fi is also available for those mixing work and play.

The Condo was in an amazing location -- you can walk everywhere -- to the beach, to the historic downtown area with its restaurants, boutiques and Walter Anderson Art Museum. IT is literally just steps to Tri Hard Sports -- which was an amazing shop and bike rental. We rented bikes for 2 days and road the beachfront, by the Harbor, through the historic tree lined streets and even out to the National Seashore National Park. Also the Lazy Oak Bistreaux was also less than 1 minute across the street and the food was excellent. It was one block to The Roost Hotel which had a beautiful bar with outdoor seating. We met friendly families on the beach who had reserved the firepits on the beach. A very relaxing, incredible stay with family members who are stationed in the area. We also attended the Peter Anderson Arts Festival and we all could walk to it as much as we wanted. So easy to come and go and go back. Everyone was friendly. The Welcome Center in the historic depot was also very helpful.

Host profile image
We are from New Orleans and wanted a quick, weekend getaway for our family. We immediately realize how wonderful Ocean Springs, MS is for families and wanted to share our space and experiences with other families.

Why they chose this property

Our first time visiting Ocean Springs, MS was Summer of 2023 with both of our kids and we immediately fell in love with the city! It reminds us of a wholesome, smaller version of New Orleans. Unique artist community with great food, coffee and lots of kid-friendly activities.

What makes this property unique

Our property is located in the heart of downtown Ocean Springs. Walking distance to Front Beach and Washington Ave, where all of the restaurants and shops are located. Our property features a pool and game room for lots of family fun. We chose eco- friendly and family- friendly touches such as pack-n-play, kids utensils and dinnerware, sound machine, baby monitor, beach toys and so much more. We also offer organic coffee and teas and only use Branch Basics for cleaning.
