House was perfect for "Cruisin the Coast". My husband and I were the only 2 staying but there was room for a couple more.. Downtown was less than 1 mile away. Host was very quick to respond. I highly recommend this place for a small group.

Ocean Springs R & R

Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here! It’s close to everything worth seeing and doing, in a safe, walkable neighborhood, close to marinas, Front Beach, and the Walter Anderson museum. We spent our down time in the screened in front porch, visiting with the resident yard turtle in the backyard or just Netflixxing. Will def try to stay here again if it’s available!

A perfect getaway in a charming town!

A very lovely property. I wish I could say that we were staying there for vacation, unfortunately it was for a funeral. It did allow my family to congregate and I was able to cook for the widow of my uncle, which was really nice. I would definitely stay here again. It was in a good location, close access to everything, but also provided good privacy.

Our week long vacation

This house worked out perfect for our family of four. This has been our fourth trip to ocean springs, this time with our daughter and her friend and we couldn’t have picked a better home to stay at. We were able to walk everywhere if needed as this was close enough to downtown the walk was enjoyable. Also this house had everything that you could even need, it was definitely like you were at home.

Best place to stay in Ocean Springs!!!

Absolutely loved the house and the location. Audrey was so awesome and was happy to help if I needed anything. The house had everything you could want. My first 25 days, I was there by myself and felt so safe. My husband fell in love with the house immediately!!! I would stay here again and again. Thank you Audrey and Rosemarie!!!

Lovely comfortable cottage

Can't say enough about how perfect the Green Cottage was for us. Not too fancy just well stocked from kitchen to bath to bedrooms with very comfortable beds, couches and roomy screened front porch. Neighborhood amenities include walks to inner harbor and bike rides around the quiet streets. Communication with owner is excellent. We will be back.

Pleasant stay

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Home was comfortable, clean, nicely furnished and in good condition. The yard is large. No steps to speak of, just one step up into the house. Bathroom has a grab bar at the commode. Kitchen appears well stocked with adequate cooking pots and utensils. Ocean Springs is a beautiful little Gulf Coast town and it is my hope it stays that way.

Perfect EduCation Home Across From The End Of The Road!

It was like staying at your favorite grandma's lake home. I stayed for 2 weeks to celebrate my birthday, take a 2 week Real Estate Broker course, and celebrate father's day! The home was very cozy and had more than enough comforts. More than enough kitchen and bathroom essentials, supplies, and extras. The owner created a space that is more than welcoming and gives a sense of familiarity too. She has a guest book that many a guests (lots of repeat guests' entry) have filled out and left a piece of their memories behind in the form of words! I will be going back and staying often to stay at the Perfect AnyCation Home Across From The End Of The Road!

Cozy Private Little Cottage

This place, and the owner, are wonderful. The kitchen is very well equipped and laundry is available on site. The single bathroom is clean and cute, with lots of fluffy towels. Both bedrooms have comfortable double beds and there's a futon in the den as well. The house is secluded from the street by bushy shrubs that leave you feeling as if you're in your own private world. The comfortable screened in porch runs across the front of the house and feels like an outdoor living room. Curious turtles come by to visit and live there too! Downtown Ocean Springs is less than a mile away and there's lots of great places to explore there.

Pete and Mary Ann were the only nice thing to come out of the BP disaster. They were in Ocean Springs to work on surveillance of the extent of the spill and rented my house. They were super folks, lovely guests, and I hope they decide to move to the coast permanently when the oil mess is finally cleaned up. They'd be great neighbors.

Green Cottage in Ocean Springs

We really enjoyed our relaxing stay in the Green Cottage. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do in OS and the surrounding area. Very nice "homie" feeling, and front and back porch were amazing in the mornings and evenings.

Cozy cottage

This is my second stay at this cozy cottage. The cottage is comfortable, has nice amenities, and is located in a great neighborhood close to the Gulf and sightseeing opportunities. The gardens and trees are lovely, and the back yard patio has a firepit and a gas grill. And the artistic community of Ocean Springs always delights me. I am already planning a return visit.
