About this property
Camellia Cottage 'Your Private 5 ♥️ star Retreat on the Gulf Coast'
While Camellia Cottage 🏡 has welcomed all guests, it has a particular appeal for couples who come here to celebrate life events, like anniversaries, birthdays, and even an engagement. There have been some great sister as well as girlfriend vacations created here too. It has become a respite for people needing to recharge while disconnecting from a demanding world.
The cottage is well suited for 2 adults and a 3rd adult is permitted but requires a 3 day stay. I cannot accept children due to the spiral staircase.
The cottage was created to be intimate, tastefully decorated yet comfortable, not fussy, with a new sleeper sofa with a gel foam mattress, and over sized denim chair. Upstairs in the sleeping loft is a king size bed with a deep memory foam mattress, that guests love. The kitchen is fully stocked with a full size refrigerator, cookware, gas stove and microwave. There's wifi, a large movie library and a smart tv. You will have internet access and a smart TV with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and hundreds of others through streaming.
Many of my guests like to travel with their dog (me too!) and I want to make sure the dogs have a good stay providing them with bowls, towels, a blanket, toys and a fenced in yard.
I would like to know if you are planning on bringing your pet in your inquiry, as well as the size and number. The pet fees, usually $50 depending on the size and number are donated to a local shelter or Gulf Coast rescue groups. 🐶
Guests often comment, 'This is even nicer than the pictures” and love the unexpected like a seasonal herb garden, easy onsite parking, and especially the privacy. The tin roofed cottage is nestled in to a private place, with live oaks, camellias, and magnolias. While, Camellia Cottage is very close to downtown and a mile to the beach it is much quieter and without the traffic. I keep a list of local restaurants as well as activities, and I’m always available for suggestions. If you like casinos and entertainment it’s just across the bridge in Biloxi and Gulfport.This is the place to stay to give yourself permission to be as active or lazy as you wish. 😁
The cottage is located on a lovely street in a quiet, residential neighborhood. It is not used for a party house or large events.
The minimum age for renting is 25.
One more thing about the cottage to know is, it is a strictly non smoking rental anywhere on the grounds. Also, no candles please.
Ocean Springs is a multi award winning small city known for its friendliness, art, unique restaurants, shopping and music.
I am grateful to have earned over 100 five star 🌠 reviews and urge you to read them and see if this is the place you are looking for. The reviews start over after 100.
Blue Skies & Great Sunsets,

About the host
Hosted by Jeannie B. Bright
This area has been the perfect place to move to after years of living in large cities. Being close to nature is very important to me, and where I live inspires me every single day. My cats and dog agree and are flourishing here. The friendly people, beautiful surroundings, and abundance of artists have added immeasurably to my life.
Why they chose this property
I have travelled extensively and I'm happy and content to call Ocean Springs my home. When I saw this property I saw the magnificent trees and tin roofed cottages and was smitten. Come for a visit, and see what it does for you.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is now a second home for many of my guests that return again and again. I live on the grounds and can suggest or assist you with anything you might have a question about. Camellia Cottage is uniquely private if you are in need of true relaxation as well as fun, food and culture, Ocean Springs has it. The beach is less than a mile, while museums and one of a kind shopping and restaurants are minutes away. There are casinos nearby with top entertainment frequently in town. Please take a look at the reviews for Camellia Cottage, there are over100 with five stars and see if they may help you decide if this is the right place for you. 🏡
