About Harold & Claire
Harold And Claire
Claire is French-Canadian who grew up in Quebec. Harold grew up in Long Beach but had not resided in Long Beach for 50 years, retired from 35 year career in Public Safety from Utah. Purchased this cottage as a family vacation home for our six adult children and seven grand children to experience and enjoy the Mississippi Gulf Coast....they all now have a deep connection to the beauty and people of our beloved community.
Harold & Claire purchased this cottage in 2014
Why Harold & Claire chose Mississippi
This could be classified as a “love story” by some or simply “luck of life” by others. In 2010 I, Harold, returned to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for a class reunion, where I hadn’t lived for over forty years. During that visit Claire feel in love with the beauty and peacefulness of the area and the people that call it home.
We had been looking for a location to purchase a winter/retirement home for several years. After we returned from our trip life went on and we continued looking for property in Florida and other parts of the South never thinking we would return to the Mississippi Gulf Coast
Then in 2013 events in life again brought us in contact with friends along the Coast. Later that year I was able to purchase a building lot in Long Beach with thoughts that we might build a small home there some day. In 2014 we again traveled to the area for Mardis Gras and took in a number of the parades along the coast. When checking the property I had purchased, Claire noticed that the older cottage on the property next door was for sale. The cottage had not been maintained for several years and was in need of much attention. Claire decided to purchase the cottage and the work was on to set it up for a family retreat.
After several months of work and help from many friends in the area Claire has brought the cottage alive. This will now be our families’ (kids and grandkids) retreat when time allows. We hope you enjoy the cottage, Long Beach, the area, the beach life, the great seafood and of course the people of the area as much as we do and will. Please feel at home at our cottage and enjoy the beauty of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
What makes this cottage unique
Cottage is in the heart of everything the coast has to offer. Walking distance to beach, restrurants, harbor, splash pad, town green (where all events take place), the quaint downtown but yet in one of the most sought after peaceful, relaxing and safe areas along the entire Gulf Coast. Cottage is situated on huge private lot with large Live Oaks, space to play and relax in establish beach neighborhood right on destinated bike route for biking. With the screened in porch is one of the few "old style" cottage still along the coast.

Cute, clean house
Great vacation house. Would recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice house near beach.
perfect
The house was great met all our needs .The area was perfect for our needs. resturants had great food we had a great time catching up with each other planning to do it again thank you
Perfect setting in a quiet neighborhood. Loved the screened in porch.
Gulf Palms cottage is located in the most delightful setting. It's a short walk from Jeff Davis Avenue and what a beautiful walk it is. There are many things to enjoy along the way. Homes nestled in among gorgeous oak trees, various styles of landscaping, friendly resident's, and a beautiful park. We ate three times at On a Roll Sushi. My husband has never been a fan of sushi but he thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered. The entire staff are superb at what they do. We felt like family. Marcie waited on us and she was the best!.
We enjoyed so many things, quiet romantic walks along the beach, holding hands, and we still love doing it after forty two years. We enjoyed sight seeing in Pass Christian. Many homes and parks to see along the way. Went to a jazz festival in Long Beach. Young and old enjoyed it. Harold the cottage was spotless, nicely laid out. You took such good care of us with all the helpful information, food, shopping, historical sights, etc. THANK YOU. We plan on making this our get away place.
Lovely!
We loved our stay here! The home is in a very quiet neighborhood. There was plenty of space for us and Harold and Claire had provided everything we needed to live comfortably for the five days we were there. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed to make a few meals here and to store and heat up leftovers from the great near by restaurants. We enjoyed time on the beach (chairs and beach towels are available for guest use at the cottage) and rented a jet ski one afternoon. We had a day trip to New Orleans and went in to Biloxi a few times as well.
Harold and Claire made the booking process easy and provided all the information we needed about the home and the area.
Great location for a coastal getaway!
My husband & I recently completed our 2nd stay at Gulf Palms Cottage and, once again, were very pleased with our decision. The owner does an excellent job of communicating prior to arrival, not just check-in/out procedures but local contact info for any issues that might arise. We also received information regarding local events scheduled during our stay which is nice for planning ahead. On both occasions, the cottage was very clean on arrival.
The Long Beach location is ideal, truly a 5 minute walk to the beach and is centrally located to all the coast has to offer - Gulfport, Biloxi & Ocean Springs to the east & Pass Christian & Bay St. Louis to the west. Excellent restaurants are plentiful - my go-to favorites in Long Beach are Steve's Marina (great place for outside dining at sunset), L'il Rays & funky Darwell's.
The cottage is roomy, comfortable & ideal for couples or families. Outdoor chairs, grills, firepit, picnic table, etc are provided. A storage shed has fishing equipment, beach chairs/toys & additional refrigerator.
As we are a repeat guest and look forward to booking yet again, this property gets a big thumbs up!
Ideal family vacation rental
Very nice for a family getaway. Large kitchen, nice size bedrooms. Outside, the extras such as the cozy screened in porch, and the covered area with the picnic table, are perfect for unexpected rains. Well appointed and homey feel. I'd love to bring my grandkids here. Harold keeps you abreast of things to do, and places to go. Wonderful host!
