This home is in a great location between Biloxi and Gulfport, and it's within walking distance to the beach. The size of the home was adequate for our family (5 of us), and the newly remodeled kitchen was a nice touch. The homeowner was accommodating as my brother decided to come on vacation with us last minute, and she did not mind the extra person on the reservation. That said, she did not communicate well before the stay, as I had to contact her to confirm the reservation and how to get the access to the property even though she claimed she would be contacting me. There were also zero instructions as to how to leave the house and where to bring the keys.

The biggest hesitation I have in recommending this home for future vacationers is its lack of cleanliness. I realize mustiness happens fast in the south, but this home stunk. The countertops were grimy; the floors had hairballs in the corners; and, the bathrooms had not been cleaned before our stay. The reservation required a cleaning fee...but my siblings and I had to spend two hours cleaning the place before we could take our shoes off. To top it all off, several cockroaches were found throughout the stay (albeit dead, but still!). We still enjoyed out stay on the Mississippi Gulf, but we were disappointed in the condition of the home.
