La Petite Cachette Main House in Old Bay St. Louis
2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom- sleeps 6, pool, near beach and Old Bay St. Louis
La Petite Cachette is a completely restored "barge board" private home listed on The National Register of Historical Places.
The Main House features a creole porch with four handmade Mississippi rocking chairs. This is a great place for morning coffee or afternoon libations with friends and family. This is the spot to take in a good book or just to enjoy the peace and privacy of La Petite Cachette.
The living room is a very cozy space for relaxing and watching TV. It has a large sofa, comfortable chairs, and a flat screen tv with a DVR. The living room opens to a spacious dining room. The dining room table has seating for eight people and is decorated with the works of Mississippi artists. The chandelier is a family heirloom. The impressive pocket doors are restored and underscore the historical nature of this property.
The kitchen has been renovated and is fully equipped with two sets of dishes for eight, two sets of stainless flatware for eight, a large variety of cooking utensils, various pots and pans for cooking, oven bakeware of various sizes, and barware. There are two refrigerators: one vintage restored Philco refrigerator and a modern one with an icemaker located on the screen porch. Appliances include a gas stove, a dishwasher, and a microwave. Small appliances include a coffeemaker, a toaster, a crockpot, and a blender.
The screen porch is accessed off of the kitchen and allows for outdoor dining. The porch also overlooks the pool and patio area. There is a Weber charcoal grill for outdoor cooking needs.
The guest bedroom is well appointed with a queen size poster bed, a chest of drawers, night stands, bedside lamps, and generous closet space. The guest bedroom has two large windows and custom French doors which open on to the front porch. The bathroom is an en suite with a shower/tub combination. The bathroom is handicap accessible.
The master bedroom entrance is off of the dining room through handmade French doors. There is an heirloom French bedroom suite with a queen bed and two large dressers. Also, in the bedroom is a built-in work station with a flat screen TV. The bedroom has two large windows that allow natural light in the room. There is an en suite bathroom with a vanity and dressing area with built-in barge board cabinets. The bathroom has two pedestal sinks and a six foot soaking bathtub/shower combination.
The sunroom is located at the rear of the house. This is a beautiful sunlit room with barge board shelves and cabinets made from reclaimed wood from the New Orleans area. There is a vintage English breakfast table with balloon chairs. This is another great place for morning coffee. The windows and doors have custom made curtains to allow for privacy. The sunroom has a half bath and can be used as a third sleeping space. The couch is a queen size sleeper sofa.
The laundry room has a washer, a dryer, and rods for hanging clothes. The laundry room is located in the back portion of the house and can be accessed from the sunroom.
The saltwater pool is semi-private and is located in the backyard area of the property. The pool is shared with the guest from the Main House.
There are bicycles located under the carport for guests to use during their stay. We also have four-seat electric golf carts available to rent during your stay. Golf cart rentals must be arranged in advance of your stay.
*Please note this is the 'Main House' and there is also another accommodation in the upstairs - 'Guest Quarters' listed separately

About the host
Hosted by Mary Ellen Warner
Mary Ellen and Bob are experienced vacation rental hosts. Their interest in developing property was born after Hurricane Katrina when they purchased a 126-year-old creole cottage in Bay St. Louis, MS . They completely restored this historical "Biloxi Cottage" (1 of two left on coast). The Creole Cottage was placed on the National Register of Historic Properties.
It is now the flag ship of our small portfolio of restored luxury properties. Mary Ellen and Bob each contribute to the success of the rentals. Mary Ellen manages the varied properties and gives the guests a special local experience. Bob grew up in Waveland, MS & attended St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis. Mary Ellen and Bob's knowledge and lifelong ties to the area and the people gives our guests a true local experience.
They share a special experience that reveals the "old world" charm, the natural beauty, and unique culture of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. After one visit we hope that our guests will appreciate this beautiful coastal area as much as we do. We welcome you to the Main House.

Why they chose this property
The owners return to Bay St. Louis regularly for peace and quiet time. They were pleased to have the opportunity to restore and preserve this historical 100-year-old cottage, "La Petite Cachette" (Little Nook). They are proud of their cottage and want to share this restored gem of MS coastal history.
What makes this property unique
This Creole home is one of the few Biloxi Cottages to survive after Katrina. The typical Biloxi Cottage is a locally popular vernacular house that is typified by a gable roof, undercut gallery, and four bay facade with doors in two central bays.
La Petite Cachette is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a special property that seamlessly blends the history of a past lifestyle with the modern luxury of today. The barge board shelves and walls, and reclaimed wood floors combined with the modern luxury of the amenities offered and the history of the Gulf Coast.
